Startovarius - a prediction for this September

[adaher]

Hey, but how about that guitar solo?

 

[IdesOfStormrider]

I will cry tears of joy if they play Father Time or Nigh Time Eclipse from Episode....

 

[The Invisible Guest]

I don't consider myself a real big Strato fan, but I do like a good number of the tunes that were voted the best live tunes. I'm taking it that if they play a set anything close to this I will be fairly pleased.

Looks like the fans have taste. I'd add Tomorrow and No Turning Back myself.

 

[Joe-×]

Somewhere in their set list is "4000 Rainy Nights" just to remind us why Whitesnake were such a cool band once upon a time.

Doesn't the conventional prog wisdom use QR instead of WS?

I'm surprised at the list though that BOTH Hunting High and Low and Eagleheart made the list. I remember when Infinite and Elements Pt 1 was released everyone complained about those that they sounded too poppy and that Eagleheart was like a HH&L clone.

I hope they do one of them, but not both! But I hope they do a full version of Destiny! Last tour they were merging with other songs for this like 4-song melody, but we want the full thing! (Not counting their last couple shows after breakup)

And it's the perfect song to end the festival with!

There are definitely some cool songs on Elements, but no where near the best. I personally think Paradise is an awesome song, starts off identically like Maiden, but still a great song. I personally can't believe "Abyss Of Your Eyes" isn't on that list, that song is simply brilliant.

 

[JayKeeley]

I personally think Paradise is an awesome song, starts off identically like Maiden, but still a great song.

That's one of my problems with it -- it's too much like Iron Maiden. Nevertheless, riff cloning aside, the lyrics are just un-fucking-forgivable:

Late at night I find myself again wondering and watching tv.
I can't believe what's on the screen, something that I wouldn't care to see.
Many rare species will perish soon and we'll be short on food.
Why do we have to be so selfish, we've got to change our attitude.



Those lyrics make Malmsteen's lyrics look good.

Still, obviously I'm in the minority because it garnered so many votes. I guess people aren't fussed about lyrics when it comes to Maiden tribute songs. If they do play it, I'll just ignore the singing and pretend it's "22 Acacia Avenue".

 

[TheWhisper]

Which song of theirs sounds like a Queensryche song? I'm not a Strato fan, so I wouldn't remeber the name, but I heard a song of theirs that sounded like NM156 or Screaming In Digital...if I remember right.

 

[adaher]

4000 Rainy Nights is considered a Queensryche tribute.

 

[JayKeeley]

4000 Rainy Nights is a tribute to QR??? Well, it's not a very good one is it!?

If there is one song that needs a video of Tawny Kittaen back on the hood of a car and writhing around in white underpants, 4000 Rainy Nights is it.

 

[BABS]

When does Jens pee on Timo?

Bear

Second song into the set.

 

[Heavenly Call]

Second song into the set.

I have more faith than that....6th song.

 

[booB]

Actually I think "The Abyss of Your Eyes" sounds more like a QR song, and a pretty good one at that.

 

[Pellaz]

I have more faith than that....6th song.

Hmmm. I'll go with the 4th song.


Remember, if you guess too high, you don't win either showcase, and all you get is a lousy consolation prize.

Given the current contest, I'd had to see what the prize would be (lol).
