Stratovarius - Future Shock

[Decipher900]

Now this was the real Stratovarius. Tuomo Lassila (drummer) and Timo Tolkki were the true spirits of Stratovarius.

[NemezisBH]

wow the real stratovrius!!!!

[Sagittarel]

I just can't understand this madness. What made Tolkki recruit useless Kotipelto squaeker to band???? Tolkki's vocals are just million times better than Kotipelto's....

Why??!?!??!?!?!

[comepolloobsesivo]

james hetfield on the drums!!! LOL

[Avengermaggot]

tuomo!!!!

[jefern333]

tuomo lasila ajajaj asquerso batero



[radamantis1100]

tolkki hace un gran tapping,no se como hay gente que dice que tolkki no tiene buena tecnica ,el es uno de los mas grandes guitarristas

[facespaz]

That was awesome in a deliciously retro type of way.

Thx for posting! \m/

[fatoujonny2]

after listen to this i listen to hunting high and low...fuck this i badass compared to the other shit

[Sonatametalera]

Timo tolkki forever!!!

[TheGoldenPS1]

Lassila wrote this song.

[Minas92Morgul]

R.I.P. True Stratovarius

[bupkiss24]

whos the drummer?

[Minas92Morgul]

@bupkiss24 Tuomo Lassila . He was in the band before timo Tolkki. But TIMO TOLKKI IS STRATOVARIUS !!!!

Timo Tolkki = Stratovarius .

[metalage77]

MA LA PANZA DI TIMO TOLKI DOVE ERA FINITA?

[StratoHammer]

Drummer are so gay at the beggining xD

[ignizsteel]

es un stratovarius completamente diferente... pero al cabo es genuino!!! lo primero mas puro

[drauk000]

ese tema es super bueno... pero no lo puedo descargar CTMM

[Sneixx]

LOL..Gates Of Babylon

[Korvuz667]

como tocaban de bueno DX

[slashvanhalen236]

there is no way any man should be able to sing and play this good at the same time!!!

[jimmyrotella]

lol @ drummer!

[TheRapnar]

una joya de grupo sin lugar a dudas yeah

[Mikemetalman]

its wierd 2 think, the current Stratovarius has non of these members.

I like Kotipeltos voice, but ther sumfin about Tolkki's voice that was so powerfull

[sallasar5]

Man you have in your hands of the more thing rare of mankind! THANK YOU GUY!!!

[sallasar5]

it's fucking video and the music is better than any power metal music

[jailabaca]

estimados, strato no contaba con tolkki en su formacion inicial, el primer vocalista de strato fue tumo lassila (baterista) y despues se "contrato" a tolkki para ser guitarrista, descubriendo que podia cantar paso a ser guitarrista y voz, despues tuomo solo se dedico a la bateria y despues abandono el grupo quedando como lider tolkki quien recluto al joven timo kotipelto :P saludos.

[OceanLover88]

Tolkki's voice is really awesome... Also he is a fantastic guitarplayer... Dreamspace is my favorite albun with him on lead vocals.

StratovariuS ruleS! : p

[SONDERMOLIG]

@OceanLover88 

[stratovariusx100pre]

watch?v=bSjwsApv9GA THE SAME SONG BUT KOTIPELTO AT VOCALS!!

[enanolineage]

still can't understand why he changed his Ibanez JEM to an ulgy ESP =/

[SapientesGladio]

Stratovarius is not Stratovarius without Tolkki on vocals. Kotipelto can get bent as far as I'm concerned. R.I.P. true Strat 1987-1994.

[Minas92Morgul]

@SapientesGladio The best comment about Stratovarius ever !!!!! But I think the Stratovarius lifetime was from 1984 - 2001 . Hail Hail Tuomo Lassila , Antti Ikonen, Jari Kainulainen and STRATOVARIUS = Timo Tolkki !!!!

[kreshe]

TIMO TOLKKI is and always will bee a legend!

[TheGreatDuck]

This song sounds like Rainbows Gates of Babylon meets Helloweens I'm Alive.

[capitandoors]

what a voice of tolkki..so wonderfull

[BlackGrunt33]

In my opinion , The chorus is lame ... Future shock ... future shock ... ok

Timo Kotipelto > Timo Tolkki

[renatobh26]

TRUE metal

[TheSkyMorpheus]

Timo Tolkki once again surprising me, i can't believe he has such a great voice it's a shame he didn't keep singing after dreamspace... but he has made clear he is and always will be an icon of metal

[Arturohoz]

in this time timo tolkki play guitar here? in 1989 in this video?

[mykoolful]

yes, that´s timo tolkki playing guitar en singing =)

[eljoking]

tolkki es de la ptm!

[KilluaYakuza]

A classic video of a classic music of a classic album of a classic song

Stratovarius one of the best bands on earth.

[nesronesro]

its really different music between Future Shock (1989) and for example Polaris(2009) but both stay for me best power/speed metal song. no other band plays like strato.

[COTLOD0390]

RIP stratovarius rest in pieces

[MrKrisMetaL]

StratovariuS sem Tolkki que não é StratovariuS.

[KilluaYakuza]

Disse tudo cara o Stratovarius acabou junto com a saida do tolkki

[smirre54]

without timo tolkki, tuomo lassila and antti ikonen. stratovarius is not stratovarius

R.I.P stratovarius 1984 - 1997

[marcovarius]

I love it when they blow up at the end lol

[AoD84]

The bridge part before the singing starts sounds quite exactly like it's taken from Rainbow's song Gates of Babylon....

[Whackooyzero]

To be fair, that riff is a relatively typical riff. it's just a simple minor scale up-down kind of thing.

[AgentGustavo]

Monsters Of Metal Style, awesome!

[xxxNaXoxx]

one of the best strato songs ^^!

OMG Tolkki isnt fat there xD!

[mykoolful]

Future Shooooock!!!!!!!

[densomtarhanhar]

Sounds VERY much like early Helloween, right?

I like it

[kakashitavox]

Cuando Tolkki cantaba, lo dejo porque se le compicaba mucho cantar y tocar la guitarra a la ves (en los conciertos en vivo), perono hay pero para eso, porque para el Project Strato, el regresara a las voces, u_u, ansio que regrese la formacion original de Stratovarius, la primera, aunque la de Jens, Kotipelto y Jörg, la actual, es buena, posee buen talento, pero a Matias le falta mucho para ser como Tolkki

[DUNIARANDI]

get out of the past girls

[flacodelfin]

como es posible que le ayan quitado a estratovarius a tolki

[Mamanon]

I didnt know this was a video for this oldie, but hell it is one of my favorite songs of the first album and the whole album rocks! It is a shame Tolkki quit singing because he has a really unique voice. Very well Strato still owns even without him

[CANM84]

tolkki en ese tiempo usaba ibanez antes de cambiarse a ESP

[Istembik]

The lineup is Timo Tolkki - Vocals / Guitars

Jyrkki Lentonen - Bass

Tuomo Lassila - Drums

there is no drummer Kotipelto or whatever, this is the Fright Night Lineup, not the Fourth Dimension one.

[brutalikyd]

una rola a lo OLD SCHOOL!!!! d STRATOVARIUS q bakan!!....... k lastima q ninguno d los k sale en el video este en la alineacion actual!!!!.....d to2 mo2 q VIVA STRATOVARIUS!!!!!...........gr­acias x subir el video pana........5 estrellas!!!

[perpetual61]

Once and for all Timo Kotipelto isn't in this Video. He didn't Join Stratovarious Until 1994. Tolkki Is the Singer with Long Hair and Playing the Guitar. I Don't Know who the drummer is.

[WolfKraadez]

yes (:

[voteboo]

is timo tolkki the drummer? 'cause I don't see him singing.

And I didn't even know that they had a bass player? who was that, anyway?

[WolfKraadez]

on the video, timo tolkki is da vocalist ~

[voteboo]

I meant Timo kotipelto? 'cause the drummer looks kinda like him.

[Haviyak]

This is old old Stratovarius, the only long standing member in this video is Timo Tolkki.

[WolfKraadez]

amm, no he dosen´t appear on the video =x

[perpetual61]

Are you blind? he's the long hair Guitarist and a much better singer than Kotipelto. Long Live Stratovarius !

[voteboo]

first they're long haired, and second down in the comments I said that I meant to say this:

If timo kotipelto is the drummer 'cause he, drummer, looks kinda like kotipelto?

but, thanks anyways.

Agree with you. long live stratovarius

[StratovariusFTW]

kotipelto is a better singer, but tolkki aint to bad

[nimrodnimrod01]

@StratovariusFTW agree

[aritube2008]

Es una joya este video por dios! que pedazo de video. que genio que es Timo =) terrible video

[ardrux149]

STRATOVARIUS= TIMO TOLKKI

[MysticDemonKnight]

@ardrux149 yeah it completly sucks that he left stratovarius.

[Matiasmuke]

@ardrux149 Mmmm Stratovarious = Tolkki + Kotipelko+ Michael!

[sallasar5]

@ardrux149 You speak the truth

[ElysianHorus]

@ardrux149 Cain's Offering= Timo Kotipelto!

[SSBBechimetal]

@ElysianHorus I don't agree

Timo Tolkki = Old Stratovarius + Revolution Renaissance + half of Symfonia (the other half is Matos')

Timo Kotipelto = New Stratovarius + Kotipelto

Cain´s Offering = Jani Liimatainen

[ale93744]

w stratovarius

[edgarneosivo]

Tolkki fought a lot for his band and now he is out =(

[Chronologo]

I wonder why this and the against the wind videoclip weren't in the Infinite visions dvd

[reciox]

wtf!!! thin tolkki!

[riogallegos1]

anybody know another video on youtube of tolkki singing?

[stasi1947]

日本じゃこの曲が入った｢Fright Night｣は

｢Dreamspace｣の後に発売されたんだよな。

元々期待されていなかったのかね？

[Hyperabbe]

Sorry I mean 00:50 =P...

[Hyperabbe]

At 05:00 Timo Tolkki looks like Anti Ikonen =P... Wow I thought that it has never been any old music videos with Stratovarius...

[Chronologo]

yeah but at that time I believe Ikonen wasn't in the band yet

[BodomBeachKiller]

Man Timo never should have left vocals. that other timo was good sure, but Tolkii has so much more of a recognizable and endearingly non-english-speaking sound to his vocals. Timo Tolkii is a metal HERO!!

[BoundWithDuctTape]

its sad, none of the guys in this video are in the band anymore

[Jujubaum]

Tolkki destrói no vocal tbm \o

[jacksonrhoads08]

fn awsome vid \m/

[Danderas]

I never imagined Timo had such great voice :O

He is a real GOD :P

Stratovarius 4ever

[stormriderWI]

agreed, he's a great singer

[DARAZAINDER]

@Danderas no se escucha

[Zazquatch1]

@Danderas compared to Cronos in Venom maybe 0.o

[cristobeliardo]

@Danderas in fact, he recorded the vocals for the 3 first albums

in dreamspace he's particularly excellent. and, well... he is, in my opinion, among the best guitarists ever, equal to ritchie, kirk hammet and many others

[smashninja]

Woow. El primer single del papa del power metal. Tolkki no se parece nada como es ahora. Incluso una frase de Kotipelto es "cuidado porque aquí viene el gordo tolkki" En otras palabras ahora esta regordo, pero eso no le quita lo virtuoso. Es el guitarrista mas rápido. Solo que no se si habrán notado, cuando estaba Lassila muchas canciones eran muy tristes, cuando entra kotipelto ya hay mas liberación, pero igual era muy bueno. espero que kupianen y Porra no nos decepcionen.

[bonfirejovi]

they are as hold as helloween... wow. the fathers of power metal

[pvevo]

STRATOVARIUS 4ever <3333

[Robozgraggi]

Old Stratovarius fuckin' rules! I like the dark themes more than this "save mother earth"-crap they're doing nowadays!

[Bassfiend567]

actually, it's the same doomsday stuff, just a little more subtle.

[RayofJustice]

Great song=classic!!!

[stratodan1990]

The reaction of the drummer at 0:17 is enough to make a mosh pit go fucking insane, absolutely INSANE. The riff, so catchy, the lighting of the logo at the very beginning. This is where Strato started... They we're power metal, they ARE power metal, they began it with helloween. LONG LIVE STRATO. LEGENDS OF METAL

[dreamjavier]

Una joya indudablemente que si,

[Poison1986]

Tuomo Lassila is the one who's playing the drumms

[dontforgettoshred]

wow Tolkki is a great singer!

[BLINDINLITE]

Somebody knows who is Tuomo Lassila ? he created the band stratovarius but where is on this song?

[Jorgelloween]

Tolkki, great singer, great composer, great guitarrist!!!

[GaiaKirace]

I cannot believe that's Stratovarius, Timo even jumps at 0:15. So long ago....

[HinataVal]

Would be amzing if Revolution Reinassance played this live *-*

[Ragehead91]

WRONG!

1. The line-Up for the "Return to Dreamspace" album consists of Timo Tolkki, Jari Kainulainen, Anti Ikonen and Toumo Lassila, the Line-Up of the Dreamspace album. While the Fright Night Line-Up was Tolkki, Lassila, Ikonen and Jyrki Lentonen.

2. Tolkki already said that this will be a Studio-only one-off thing.They will not tour.

[metalisk999]

oh,ok, well, it is a shame that they will not tour. I don´t really like Revolution Renaissance. and the best thing Tolkki could do IMHO is to reunite the old Strato and play live.

[Ragehead91]

He shouldn't reunite Strato at all. He left Stratovarius in 2008. He gave the rights to Jens, Jörg and Koti, who have any right in the world to continue under that name. He should stick with RR:

[fuckerdarko]

ese año naci yo xD

[Robozgraggi]

The first time when I saw it, I didn't recognize Tolkki because he's so thin! xD

[JediLuna]

Timo Tolkki was so thin hehe

Sounds like a trash band, I don't like so much their first album, I prefer Stratovarius with Kotipelto in the vocals, but with Tolkki Dreamspace was a great album too!

[yamiimax]

sad that he (Tolkki) left the band in 2008 but 20 years is really long for a band so well done

[sasukekun123]

Gotta love this song......

[beastrafe]

donde puedo encontar un recital de este estrato?? ImI

[gloryinthecross]

awesome.... I didn't know there were videos of this...

I think it's a shame that they don't ever play anything from fright night, twilight time, and dreamscape. Those albums were awesome!

[Whackooyzero]

Wait, they DON'T! Those are among their best! Fright Night, Dreamscape, Episode, Infinite, and Fourth Dimension are my favorites(although my all time favorite is Dreamscape)

[SinnerSankaro]

Dreamspace?

[Whackooyzero]

Do you mean to say you don't know that album?

[SinnerSankaro]

No. I mean you don't know it. Look throughout Youtube to find it and post a link... because it's Dreamspace....

[Whackooyzero]

Post a link for what? Of course I know Dreamspace. What are you trying to say, I do not follow.

[SinnerSankaro]

Find "Dreamscape"... I mean... I have not even heard of it!

[Whackooyzero]

OH, yeah I misspelled it okay.

[tnotb]

holy fuck!!! amazing!!! T_T is there a witch hunt video???

[kreshe]

WOW Tolkki is great!!!!

[phantomfatesongs]

it sounds a bit like im alive from helloween at 3:36

[Shireamica]

This is cool video but Tolkki mades my laugh. I don't know why. xDD Hahaa.

[Robozgraggi]

Because his mouth is always open? That made me laugh when I watched this! xD

[nergalkaos]

este es el strato que me gusta

[rigoheavymetal]

awesome!

[edguy52]

Tolkki is a fucking GIANT!

hahahahahahhaa!

[chasconmetalero]

exelente tema!!!

ojala tolki vuelva a sacar un temazo como este alguna vez^^

la raja!!

[demendatfolousgel]

la cagó, la raja este tema :yeah: xD

[Vemoth92]

I wonder what would happen with Stratovarius if tolkki didnt live so close McDonalds...

[HinataVal]

He didn't, it was a KFC D:

[kroulgraf35]

wow!!! esta cancion es de antes de que yo naciera...xd

[cannaberx2]

no importa quien como ni donde stratovarius es una excelente banda.

[jorjehoracio]

STRATOCLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[InfiniteVisions]

que será de Jyrki Lentonen¿?

[RayofJustice]

Fucking great song,man!!

[Upyrazz]

Great player. Demented Shite for brains.

Suggest checking out Mental Health Unit, National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health, Helsinki, Finland.

See you there Timo

[powerofsteel]

...Stratovarius y apareció entonces la nueva alineacion con Kotipelto como cantante

gracias!

[Denissejaponesa81]

@powerofsteel Hola! una pregunta despues de lo que leí como est´s tan seguro de que Tolkki no canta y el canta es el baterista? gracias

[aguslora]

@Denissejaponesa81 Hola. Disculpa no es en mala onda, pero cualquier fan de Stratovarius sabe que Tolkki era quien cantaba en sus inicios.

[Denissejaponesa81]

@aguslora pfff!!! obvio q Tolkki Cantaba en sus "inicios"... lo unico q hice fue preguntar xq estaba tan seguro q cantaba el baterista en vez de Tolkki... queria saber de donde saco esa informacion erronea... lo tomaste a mal... xD

[jailabaca]

@aguslora

no, el primer vocalista de strato fue tumo lassila (baterista) despues vino tolkki(este video es de esa epoca) y luego kotipelto...

[aguslora]

@jailabaca Ok, Lassila fue el primer vocalista y fundador pero en un Stratovarius prácticamente desconocido.Pero en la época que entró Tolkki y en el disco Fright Night donde está precisamente Future Shock, inmediatamente se hizo cargo de la voz, por lo que es obvio que si está en este video, él es el cantante. #

Denissejaponesa81 , disculpa si fui un poco agresivo, no era la intención, entiendo que cualquiera se puede equivocar. Saludos.

[jailabaca]

@aguslora

obvio que tolkki canta, el llego en el 86 o 87 a strato, lassila cantaba en el 85...

el video es future shock, canta tolkki obviamente...

[powerofsteel]

quisiera que leyeramos un fragmento de la biografia de stratovarius que aparece precisamente en la pagina que dice esto: " Stratovarius was founded in 1984 by three guys from Helsinki, Finland; DRUMMER AND VOCALIST TUOMO LASSILA, bass player John Vihervä and guitarist Staffan Stråhlman. Before Stratovarius the same line up performed under name Black Water."... y esta formacion siguio hasta que grabaron el album Fright Night con Tolki ya en stratovarius, luego de grabar, Tuomo dejó...

[powerofsteel]

tolkki eredó strato empezando por hay... ahora, tolkki si aporto el 85% a lo que era stratovarius, pero no por eso tiene derecho a venir a darselas de el que canta, porque no canta, hace solo la mimica de cantar, el que cantó en esa epoca de strato fue el baterista... osea tolkki no tenia porque hacerlo, se hubiera visto mucho mas epico que cantara en el video el baterista que era el que si cantaba.

[Malmsteen1990]

de ké demonios hablas?

timo tolkki cantó en los primeros 3 discos de stratovarius!

[Robozgraggi]

That was when Tolkki was a handsome young man!

[Kerubikyborgi]

Huikean tiukka video, olisimpa joskus päässy kattomaan Tolkin lauluaikana.

[stratodan1990]

This is so godly. 5/5

[DaDaFamily]

Tolkki's voice is bettar than kotipetos

[Robozgraggi]

Not really "better". But his voice fits the song better than Kotipeltos if you meant this. But I think it was a wise choice of Tolkki giving the microphone over to Kotipelto.

[Epicusfuror7]

What the!!!!

Man, amazing video!!!!

Where did you get this one???

I thought I would never be able to see a video from those times, and that song! is my favourite from the Fright Night album.

Tolkki's voice is very good IMO, he should sing in the new revolution renaissance band ;)

Again, great video man, you have an A.

If you have more videos of those times, please post them!!

[52062]

tolkki copies malmsteen.

[DarkSaucerful]

tolkki singing is better

i think

[powerofsteel]

tolki envaucador!

severa enredadera, que dijo que entonces porque heredó stratovarius tambien canta? jajaja

[yjmpgkl]

tolkki envaucador????? q????? el es stratovarius, gracieas a el stratovarius fue lo q fue. grtacias tolkki por tanta musica, eso deberias decir

[powerofsteel]

the singer in stratovarius in fright night in the drummer not tolki

[powerofsteel]

play drums, sorry

[powerofsteel]

The singer before kotipelto was not tolki but Tuomo Lassila that was touching battery and was singing, in this video it is supposed sings tolki but it is not like that, tolki never sang in stratovarius

[tehultimateshreddar]

I think you're misinformed

[marcoherrera1]

TIMO TOLKKI = STRATOVARIUS

[modelo101]

Fright Night is the worst Stratovarius album. It sucks! Dreamspace and later albums are the good ones!

[senorterio]

Nothing of Stratovarious sucks. ever. I personally think this album is not as good as visions but its better than dreamspace.

[Malmsteen1990]

when timo tolkki was pretty xD...

Stratovarius Ruls!! \m/

[Vhaldemar90]

is not in live
