Stratovarius - Black Diamond - Full Band Cover

This time we present you a tribute to Stratovarius, covering in split screen mode their work "Black diamond" from their album "Visions" (1997)...

I had the pleasure to collaborate with four awesome and talented musicians around the globe, with whom this project came into realization. Each one of us recorded their parts at home (both audio and video) and sent them to Georgios to make the audio mix and video sync /editing.

A lot of thanks goes to Cesare, Jean-Christophe, Marcel and Georgios for their cool performances and great support! Special thanks goes to Georgios, who had the idea of covering this song and his efforts to complete the audio and video mix.

The split screen band for this cover consists of the following musicians:

Georgios Zaimis (Greece): keyboards / audio mix & video edit

Very great job guys ! That's totaly awesme ! Omg wtf guitar seb, i love it, wich model of flying is it ?

[Asphyx123]

@arwi55 Thanksk Florian, it's an Epiphone Annihilator V (the Jeff Water signature one). Been using it quite a bit recently, easy to change tunings to try some stuff as it's my only non-tremolo 6-string.

@mommarox2 Hi Dianne, thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked it. Have a great weekend!

Great job on this tune by all. Black diamond is right up JC's alley and the rest of you did a kick ass job on this tune. The drummer is right on the money! Seb as usual - you are in complete control - Great job by all

[Asphyx123]

@TheDrumChannel Thanks Joe, actually JC didn't really like the song at first. I think he's not a fan of Timo's singing, so he rearranged the vocals a bit to better fit his style.
