man.. I'm so mad that I didn't discovered Stratovarius until now! I mean, I knew that the band existed but I could never imagine that the songs are so awesome. This songs are about everything what is in my soul, heart and life and I waited for it nearly 23 years.. Now I feel that I'm breathing! =D
@IggyandtheStardust Depends on you're definition of heavy. Power metal has heavily distorted guitars and fast drum beats. That there is enough of a prerequisite to warrant power metal as heavy... but the real question is: does metal have to be heavy? That's why there are so many subgenres of this diverse genre.
I know Timo Tolkki is a great and very talented guitarist, but Jens is just amazing and strat would be lost without him in my opinion! And I think Strat are better off without Timo now after the bad album "Stratovarius".
Not too long ago, I received a text message from my girl saying that she liked someone else and didn't want to be with me anymore. After I read that, I wanted to go to my room and cry for a while. You know what I did instead? I came on to youtube and listened to this song. I didn't cry at all that night. I was happy. I made my freedom call.
See, this is why I like this band. I don't like 'death' metal, where it's some guy screaming uncomprehendingly where you can't even understand a word he says. In death metal, the guy isn't even singing, just screaming his lungs out. But i like Stratovarius. It's a happier metal and this is an uplifting song; its not depressing to hear like death metal
@HarvestHollow I'm aware. And there are people who like death metal, and I don't mind. Personally, I don't like death metal, but It's just my opinion. I would MUCH rather people listen to death metal than the modern pop crap, for instance.
I was actually performing a test, for my own doing. I was thinking earlier today how unpopular metalband fans seem to be way more open minded and intelligent, like Stratovarius and Opeth fans for instance.
@TheFrickinPope Well, I get your point of view, but it's actually quite hard to growl and scream like that ^^ I tried to do the same, my throat still hurts xD
@VirtualShapeShifter I'm not saying it isn't hard to do. I'm sure it's very hard to do that. But that's not my type of music. I like songs with actual singing, not screaming. But again, that's just me.
@TheFrickinPope Same with me actually ^^ Even though I listen to almost every metal genre, I usually prefer singing and more melodic music, like Prog metal and Power metal :)
Heard about Ride The Sky, by the way? It's a very good power metal band, I think they're from Germany or something :D
You have two choices when it comes to music: you can either listen to music that helps you bask in your misery, or you can listen to music that lifts you above the clouds. Now, you tell me, which would you prefer?
@moviemaker3000 The choice is obvious. But sadly, there are still a lot of people out there that will prefer the opposite. Well, I wish them luck. May they find hope.
WTF? WMG and INgrooves blocked Millennium! how dare they take the rights for themselves? Stratovarius' music doesn't belongs to them, it belongs to Sanctuary Records and they're in no way part of WMG or INgrooves... >:(
@MariusMMS Because people are idiots, i love dragonforce stratovarius, disturbed, linkin park, etc. but i do believe the reason everyone hates dragonforce is because of guitar hero, but they should hate that game instead of that band, i must admit i was pretty pissed off when everyone told me they loved disturbed and they only knew about stricken
@platinum63 yeah, and one more thing why some people say Dragonforce is bad is because they think they only play with playback and studio and that stuff, even live, because they don't think anyone can play so fast and so talented :P
Well, I mean, have you seen any of their live videos? I haven't literally seen them live but in their live videos they can't really play it that well. They are able to play it if they actually sit down and try a bunch, but they sell their albums as if the guitarist is out of this world when he's not. Also, the music is nowhere near as inspiring.
@platinum63 tell me about it!! i mean stricken isn't even one of their best songs IMO, look at things like the curse, forgiven, down the the sickness etc.
where the music begins...!
