Stratovarius - Speed of Light

[ReekingHav0k]

HOLY BATMAN! THIS INTRO SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO ANTHRAX's DEATHRIDER!!!

[Arnaldotb2]

@ReekingHav0k the intro ? who cares about the intro kkkk

[johanlr]

@IronMaidens666 man please stop with justin bibier crap, im tired of people that supposedly hate him are making him more famous..get over it guys please!!! i never knew who the fuck jusitn beiber was until i heard people that hate him talking about him.... fuck

[IronMaidens666]

@johanlr sorry men...i deleted the coment...

[CreepJulian]

@johanlr You speak the truth sir, people these days should be like ozzy: "Who the FUCK is Justin Beaver?"

[AriochStarr]

That intro sounds soo familiar, but I just can't place it...

[JPTremos]

@AriochStarr Its a very generic intro. they just used their super powers to play it 5000 times faster.

[looboct]

@AriochStarr Sounds like Phoenix i guess...

[AriochStarr]

@looboct Naw, Pheonix is too fast, I've heard it at the exact same pace (maybe a little faster or slower, I really don't know), but the guitar is clearer to hear

[fuzzeymofo]

FULLY AWSOME!!

[DoragonShinzui]

How come this has more views than the actual band's upload?

[MrEdbenz]

if not because of BANDMASTER. i did not know this terrific rock song hahaha this is so nice to hear from bandmaster

[ELIWOOD563]

this is serious

[ladytrizh]

Excelent! Great <3

[Corrosive1]

Do you guys know how Tolkki actually died? I bet many of you don't. They were playing Speed Of Light live at a huge stadium, and once the song reached this part: 2:06 , his hand suddenly started to glow and smoke, and the whole man exploded into smithereens in a huge boom! The guitar fell to the ground and sweeped itself without a player for three minutes.

Good thing the master is still alive and this was just a joke

[thedyemaster]

Theres this guy who replied to my comments by telling me that powermetal stopped way back in the 90s? I was unaware of this . It seems like great music to me still. maybe he meant in America, I guess thats true . SHAME!!!

[Zdraloviocnjaci95]

tolkki is my guitar god

[MegaQuinox]

25 personas estan sordas.

[NikolaidisJohn]

I can't say that i' m a fan of metal. . . However, i like this song :)

[andoman5000]

Fucking sick!

[habiles0]

LOTHAR ESCUCHA ESTO MEN QUE PESADO MANO

[jjmommy100]

the rate of expansion of space time set the speed limit,

light has nothing to do with it

[xXMetalxLoveXx]

when the speed of sound just wasnt good enought..

[daltonplaysthesax]

at least America has Symphony X and Dream Theater

[knupkcor95]

Timo tolkki is a genius n a great guitarist

[ThEtErRoRiZeR7r011]

i was expecting a damn science video

[Bodybuddha]

Chuck Norris once tied an elastic band to a wooden table while strumming it this happened.

[PainlessTragedy23]

Pretty good I can play fast...really

[DarthFrki]

I think always that God doesn't exist.

I was wrong. God exists, and his name is "Stratovarius"

[Shrapnel1234]

@metalwillneverdie987

You bless God?

wat.jpg

[metalwillneverdie987]

@Shrapnel1234 yes whats your problem with that?

[Shrapnel1234]

@metalwillneverdie987

It's supposed to be the contrary, right?

[metalwillneverdie987]

@Shrapnel1234 what contrary?i dont think that in this video we should have conversation about spiritual beliefs

[NiggeliNG]

@metalwillneverdie987 exactly! i am a convinced atheist, but why bother arguing about such things when clearly the beauty of this music has the might to bring us all together

[metalwillneverdie987]

@NiggeliNG i am spiritual and christian and i respect other's beliefs..music should bring us all together..and metal is a very openminded genre with fans from all over the religious beliefs or political beliefs etc..

[Sparx1]

@Shrapnel1234 lol I can see the misunderstaning here... When a human "blesses God" it means they praise him, but when God blesses a human it usually implies bestowing a gift of favor on them.

In the Bible there were several psalms that mention that.

[Bisiba]

@metalwillneverdie987 respect

[tpocain]

@DarthFrki Well, actually, his name is Jens...\m/

[wscastello]

@DarthFrki that's so childish dude, sorry haha

[eliaspm1987]

@DarthFrki PEDAZO DE MIERDA ESTUPIDO

[JJames666male]

@DarthFrki lol

[88Rayzen]

@DarthFrki _the.best.=)

[nehelovo]

@DarthFrki blasphemy. 

[Nidair]

@nehelovo No. Worship Stratovarius nao.

[KilleRKlowwN]

@nehelovo Noup blasphemy is that you said that what he said was blasphemy if there is a god he belongs to Stratovarius

[DerAnstifter]

@DarthFrki Pray Stratovarius to help you learn some English. They will fail. Bye!

[DarthFrki]

@DerAnstifter I am Spanish and my English is not all good I would, but still, I try to comment in a language I had to learn. I would like to see you talking in perfect Spanish, stupid pedantic

[DerAnstifter]

@DarthFrki Surge a las claras que no conseguiste comprender la broma que te gasté. Yo quizá no hable el español de manera óptima, pero no insulto a la gente por una u otra razón infundada. Te explico la broma: Stratovarius es una banda bastante conocida por su pésimo inglés; a eso yo tracé el paralelo de tu inhabilidad de hablar bien inglés (cosa que tú hubiste dicho antes), luego te dije que Stratovarius te enseñara a hablar, lo cual es muy chistoso, pues ellos hablan pésimamente mal el inglés

[AFIHUKI]

@DarthFrki The old Stratovarius you mean

right?xD

[masteroffmuppets666]

@AFIHUKI The new Stratovarius is great aswell,but they have lost some of their epicness since Tolkki left.

[TheOnlyPoptart]

@DarthFrki no god dose exist but Stratovarius is the god of music 

[MILIFANGR]

@DarthFrki his name is Jesus...and Jesus gives charisma to someone to play guitar like that............

[januto]

@DarthFrki no



[guitarmaniacdope]

this song ends exactly like stratosphere

[jusemapu]

1:28 I feel orgasm

[VictoryShadow]

I browse through a few pages of comments because I'm bored, and once again I see people decide to compare a band to Dragonforce.

People compare Dragonforce to every band on Earth nowadays.

You don't like Dragonforce? No need to post about them here.

You DO like Dragonforce? Still no need to mention them here.

Here's a fun fact. It's possible to like Stratovarius, Dragonforce, and any other Power Metal band. Just stop being close-minded and enjoy the music.

[AngelInvestor17]

@VictoryShadow

100% agreed. I personally like Dragonforce very much, but it's so fucking annoying when people who hardly know anything about (playing) music bring them up, whether negatively or positively, in every video with a metal song. It almost makes me ashamed to admit I'm their fan when so many people are like, "this sucks, DF is faster and thus better," or "OMG DF sucks. This is real metal."

All us metal fans should just accept each other's favorite bands and not bash them.

[1997Megafan]

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED­!

[luiszambada3]

good song mi niggas

[deathclock9]

I keep forgetting how old this band is!!!

[mike104100]

im so lucky to see them in a concert, but i want to go again, they didnt play this song :/, and stratovarius is one of the bands that i have been listening to since a very long time

[SrGundisalvus]

 \m/

[sykelig1010]

una mierda de banda...esto llaman speed??...jajja....



[Kaisete98]

@sykelig1010

lol you idiot you think that they named the song after how fast they are shredding their guitars?the title refers to what they are singing not about how fast they do...fucking idiot

[h3adbanger95]

@Kaisete98 it is a pretty accurate description though, dont you think?

[maxxis27]

Hey. I'm American. Lmao, I like all that "Hip-Hop" Crap... But some odd reason, I also love all kinds of metal... Power Metal is the latest category of Metal for me to like. :)

[Himotary]

@maxxis27 I don't get why people could not love more kinds of music :S

[Knightphall]

It's sad that good music like this isn't heard more often, instead of Justin Beiber and American Idol crap.

[Grabi7]

[Pelleschwartz]

You really think they missed the like button? Maybe they are just not in the liking of this music? <3 Stratovarius

[DefineNerd117]

@Pelleschwartz only people without hearts can dislike them on purpose the other people just missed it

[Pwnzjoomom]

DragonForce ripped off Stratovarius.....

[DevinFilms66792]

@Pwnzjoomom and they can't play they're own shit ether, its more like Dragon 'rape'

[tkdyo]

@DevinFilms66792 This is a common misconception, I went to a dragonforce concert when they came here and they played their shit just like any band should. 

anyways, I like this band and dragonforce, and many other power metal bands, we gotta stop breaking apart and unite to bring metal back to the masses!

[JaoquinQ]

@tkdyo Finally! :)

[deathcorestuff]

@Pwnzjoomom dragonforce can suck their dicks softly

[546frer]

@deathcorestuff

[Evilhyuuga10]

[TheAlmeja55]

[metalwillneverdie987]

@TheAlmeja55 here they are

Line-up:

Timo Kotipelto - vocals

Timo Tolkki - guitar

Jari Kainulainen - bass

Jens Johansson - keyboards

Jörg Michael - drums

[mike104100]

@metalwillneverdie987 im not sure if thats the instrumentals, because jens johansson arrived for the album visions

[Ruvigy]

@metalwillneverdie987

I think he meant an instrumental version of this song, without vocals, not the line-up...

[TheBigVeda]

we don't need Einstein to understand that this song is AMAZING!!!, do we?

[DefineNerd117]

[thedyemaster]

Its bands exactly like "Stratovarius" who do not tour America that make me wish AMERICA would stop influencing everyone in this country to like that trash American f***** Idol shits out . This country got so cought up in that crap and rap that it has completely forgot what REAL music is and thats why the great bands like Stratovarius dont come here. its really sucks!!! well I hope to someday see you Stratovarius.

[DefineNerd117]

@thedyemaster dude we all agree with you

[Albiinomajava]

@thedyemaster I saw them in December. Although the line-up has changed they played really well! And their two newest albums are great too

[LouisLeGros]

@thedyemaster

They don't tour America?

I saw them a couple years ago in Seattle...

[h3adbanger95]

@thedyemaster Doesnt rap fall under the 'crap' catagory?

[REAPER2871]

@thedyemaster hey dont insult the ignorant americans just shoot them like dogs ^_^

[leebibbmmo]

@thedyemaster as much as i agree with you, this music will allways take a back seat to pop and rap due to the sheer amount of fanbase. i live in uk and its really the same here too. I lived in germany for 5 years and europe (bar uk) has that which you crave :P theres rock night clubs, events happening all the time, god i miss living there ¬.¬

[PhoenixHelix]

@thedyemaster Its exactly the same over here in the UK; i know exactly what you mean dude

[OrgodemirDQ7]

@thedyemaster 0.o it's not just America. I have several, several British friends and they all agree that rap is a major idustry over there too. It just so happens that these bands are formed across the ocean. It isn't that they choose not to tour America, it's that they tour their home country. I agree about the American Idol thing, but America catches alot of crap it doesn't deserve.

[Haarissssssssss]

@thedyemaster Not entirely true.. Not all American's are rotten.. There are still many of us, and our number is growing in the shadows.. Once again Metal music shall be the dominating one in the world! Remember that bands like Anthrax and Megadeth and Slayer come from America and they are still rocking out! Keep your heads up

[DioandMaiden]

@thedyemaster ME too and all the other bands from Europe that rarely come here!

[MichaelEppinetteTV]

@thedyemaster Im sorry to ruin this for you, but powermetal stopped wayyy back in the 90's.

[LordAroyeum]

[metalwillneverdie987]

@apollo14444 @apollo14444 scandinavian metal is much better than american fake-metal bands which you listen to like slipknot,disturbed etc and all this crap..scandinavia made metal..not america or western europe..scandinavia and England a little bit

[666thekingslayer]

@metalwillneverdie987 Kamelot is one of the most powerful metal bands ever, Symphony X too, and both are from the USA...

[metalwillneverdie987]

@666thekingslayer well yes but they got influenced by european power metal right????oh i forgot that Germany is definitely a very significant on country on heavy metal

[metalwillneverdie987]

@666thekingslayer you are right about power metal,thrash metal comes from Germany and Usa too..but Rock no..rock comes originally from England..beatles led zeppelin deep purple,pink floyd..none of them arefrom the usa i think
