I was looking forward to hearing the title track of their newest album, but unfortunately it wasn’t included in the set list. Perhaps the next time, then?</p> <p>Matias Kupiainen (guitar), Lauri Porra (bass), Rolf Pilve (drums), and Jens Johansson (keyboards) all played a solo at some point of the gig. I’m considering the aforementioned If the Story Is Over as Timo Kotipelto’s (vocals) solo part, since he sounded amazing and was only accompanied by, if memory serves, Matias and Jens. The club was not sold out in advance, but there was plenty of people of which many seemed quite enthusiastic (the fact that April the 30th is a good day for Finnish people to get drunk since May the 1st is a public holiday <em>might</em> have something to do with this).</p> <p>Oh, and yours truly got in the front row. ^^ Needless to say I smiled through the whole gig.</p> </blockquote>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/49424852034http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/49424852034Thu, 02 May 2013 16:29:10 +0900<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6fac209bcc955f07b7078f3b08289f1b/tumblr_mlimyoS8q61s8jxhso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://he-calls-me-anna.tumblr.com/post/48371119191/timo-kotipelto-stratovarius-2005-0r-2006">he-calls-me-anna</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Timo Kotipelto, Stratovarius, 2005 0r 2006.</p> </blockquote>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48886645432http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48886645432Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:23:09 +0900<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d69f58261dc7d7a9b6cccc5a7eda10f3/tumblr_mlsn6rLcQb1ri0lq2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://timetokissyourassgoodbye.tumblr.com/post/48833210757/3-stratovarius">timetokissyourassgoodbye</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>:3 stratovarius </p> </blockquote>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48886570465http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48886570465Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:22:07 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aa8e3770e92e4fb04a73c7f178db497f/tumblr_mlbj26JG9I1ri0lq2o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ebe4f293a70f9bcfc573189ab6474c5f/tumblr_mlbj26JG9I1ri0lq2o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b5f2d58fa6901ec7d2a46369de67974/tumblr_mlbj26JG9I1ri0lq2o3_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://timetokissyourassgoodbye.tumblr.com/post/48072552176/timo-kotipelto-3-3-stratovarius-nemesis-world">timetokissyourassgoodbye</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Timo Kotipelto :3 <3 Stratovarius Nemesis world tour 2013 </p> </blockquote>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48117806040http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/48117806040Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:06:28 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c1dd629ad32b7ad2fadc1a3a27e61c40/tumblr_ml607vTuFN1r3bc2yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/47836630440http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/47836630440Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:45:32 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fe87fe5ba2f80c5d77a89a9f823ba560/tumblr_ml6070U3Io1r3bc2yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/47836599246http://mtbluesos.tumblr.com/post/47836599246Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:45:07 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b8233a58a5adb09d689483681fab41e4/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1f37ea73a763c25fb6f4c9f0547125cc/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5bd7b7e0ccd71dbc7e4a4e15114da9e3/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b667a434144b15c3af0761c8a3d6e846/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ca015201c46361dd7b8aaf42a6aa3b6f/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f7ba89ee248a76bb207a80b191d21f6f/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/41f540ba84200072ab8c305807c4e763/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aa38a64d53643bf80b3f20d1223feac7/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/96d0f88ccc5383e2b72a6c9a949d738a/tumblr_ml25y8YPpT1rpvfgpo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ladydeceiver.tumblr.com/post/47645626732/stratovarius-live-show-in-madrid-nordic-nexus-of">ladydeceiver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Stratovarius live show in Madrid.
