Stratovarius

Dear All, this is Jörg speaking, finally.

I hope this message finds everybody well and everybody is in an easy-peasy Christmas mood already. The first leg of the European tour with Helloween is over – time to have a few words with you.

First of all, let's not forget the brilliant emergency rescue action and playing of Alex, thanx again for all what you did for the fans, the band and also for me.

Surely I hate the idea of somebdy is sitting on "my chair" but this special action needed some special treatment and I am proud and happy that it was you, Alex. Thanx again, we'll get together for a real drink, not like these other Scandinavian pussies in the band

I was overwhelmed by all the wishes, tons of emails and text messages I received from all over the world wishing me a speedy recovery. Thank you so much for supporting me, and it made me feel very strong when fighting these bastards inside of me.

I have some good news to tell you and believe me - I really enjoy to tell the world:

The surgery was done about 6 weeks ago and the first therapy is done as well. All looks good so far and as Jens told me before: "Do not worry Jörg, nothing survives in your body after all what you did to it!"

Finally he was right, there are only small bits and bobs left - I will fight those with another therapy in about 4 months time.

I think I have been very lucky that it was discovered by one of my friends in a very early state. Very good that my friend decided to become a doctor, he was very lousy when he tried playing the guitar.

Besides preparing myself for Christmas, I am currently practicing the drums to be ready and kickin' again when the tour continues in the new year. I will be back, thanx again for everything and let's get alive and kicking once again, see you in Paris and everywhere else......

Best,
Jörg Michael

 

Ottime notizie

 

Che bello

 

Dato che mi tocca scoltarli con gli Helloween mi sto procurando le canzoni della setlist, spero non stiano a cambiare Darkest Hours con altre dell'album che son delle palle assurde, esclusa Event Horizon.

 

nel frattempo album leakato e canzoni disponibili su youtube...

 

com'è?

 

Attendiamo come al solito l'uscita per parlarne, fino a che non si tratta di streaming legalizzati messi in circolazione dalla band

 

sentito poco e niente, appena posso proverò qualcosa e dalla data d'uscita ufficiale vedrò di commentare. Certo però che quella suite di 18 minuti mi terrorizza non poco...

 

ricordo che dai samples non c'era molto che mi aveva attirato......molto lento

poi magari hanno estratto momenti un po' strani all'interno delle canzoni...vedremo

 

Più veloce che lento.

 

mi pare logico per un disco power metal se la tua frase è in senso assoluto
spero che invece tu ti rferisca ad un'ipotetica media

 

La priorità degli stratovarius è trovare qualcuno che sappia scrivere delle canzoni.

 

Il problema è quello, alla fine il tanto bistrattato Tolkki manca molto in fase di songwriting

 

Media dell'album.

 

vedremo...per il poco che ho ascoltato =
