Stratovarius - Father Time (Live @ Wacken Open Air 2007)

[@TheZupht]

I am the only only one who find this a nice and powerful performance?

[@putardo]

No, you're not! I was there and it was awesome. And after 10 years, Timo is still one great live singer, he just learned his limits and now doesn't push his voice to the limits

[@LeSLieDaRkAnGeL]

On vocals Timo was very bad that is wja I think! this is one of my favs.... And I love him. But I forgive him this one 🙄

[@immanuel_cunt7688]

yes

[@lp1653]

Yes

[@chuazinerd3340]

Timmu Tolky preserve much their voice, this rusults in medium performance, you will be able to notice in 1:36

[@MateoBakija]

Kotipelto's face turning red every time when chorus comes lol

[@G0NZAL0666]

que pedazo de bestia en el doble bombo..grande jorg michael

[@luxzaragoza4625]

mas seguro lo vistes de la regadera de mago de oz :v

[@malgdrummer]

Nosé, pero lo noté un poco sloppy

[@gumblebroo]

my friend, i listen to stratovarius for 13 years now and saw them live about 20 times. not to mention that i am a musician myself for about 20 years. tolkki is just playing scales that sometimes fit to be the ones he recorded.

[@nandosoueu]

TK singing in Episode Album: "thaaaaaaaat's whaaaaat Iiiiii aaaaaaam aaaaasking now" 15 years ago some live concert: "that's whaat I aam aasking now" In this Video and nowadays: "that's what I am asking now"

[@kardia.1714]

nowadays he still cuts out the words and doesn't even pronounce them completely. something like: "that'- what i am askin- now" (even in low songs)

[@sansonchanel]

the best song , this is the pioner of the power metal style!!

[@deathcytheakatsuki]

una de las mejores rolas de stratovarius larga vida al rockl

[@celioazevedoofficial]

Great!

[@elianakarinagarcia6160]

Father time❤❤

[@AlejandroRes]

Anthem for a distant world !!

[@TrueIronMaidenFan]

Guys stop giving Timo shit hes one of the most talented singers of all time, and hes amazing live, and on this song to, maby not this particular performance, but come on? when you sing like that god your voice is bound to go a little flat some nights

[@vulturgryphus3478]

Cantar esta cancion es un maraton olimpico hasta para el mismo Timo.

[@RomulusRomulus111]

He still have a great voice.

[@woongchung7714]

very very good ㅠ

[@diegovillalobos5427]

Jorg lo hace ver tan facil.. monstruo!!

[@Whackooyzero]

I'm a musician as well and I can tell when Tolkki plays something the same way or not. Every time they played speed of light his solo was the same pretty much, same with Kiss Of Judas for just a few examples. I'm not claiming he's perfect, but underrated.

[@fernandorosas7372]

this is the second time i see kotipelto fucking up one of my favorite power metal melodies/phrases of all time, being the one at 1:02 and being the first one i saw him fucking up the chorus of distant skies..

[@Tarsus19]

Tolkki exprimió a kotipelto por completo, le saco lo mejor se nota claramente. Al salir tolkki de la agrupación kotipelto ya no canta en ese tono en vivo, y que bueno porque se escucha que se esfuerza mucho. Fuera de eso hicieron discos geniales entre tolkki y kotipelto entre los mejores (para mi gusto) "episode" y "visions".

[@LeSLieDaRkAnGeL]

Amo el Episodey tb el Destiny

[@daviddr9319]

@@LeSLieDaRkAnGeL Episode, Visions y Destiny son una gran trilogía con temazos.

[@pelukmorbid2746]

Coincido, los mejores discos donde se nota claramente el esfuerzo volcal de Kotipelto. Lastima todo lo que pasó luego.

[@JoseRobertArtigaFlores]

Sublime :P Excelente! sin palabras

[@Whackooyzero]

How's that wrong? Improvising is a technique used by most guitarists during solos. Everybody from Joe Satriani, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Yngwie Malmsteen to Randy Rhoads, Al Di Meola, Steve Vai, and Glenn Tipton all improvise their solos.

[@ajd626]

I was just trying to sing some of Stratovarius' high vocal parts and I think the problem is that they are always pitched at the break between high chest voice and low head voice. It is really difficult to switch between them smoothly and still always have power. The voice often cracks if you're not totally on the ball. Unfortunately, IMHO, in this video, Kotipelto is suffering from not making his mind up which notes to sing in head voice and which to sing in chest voice.

[@szhasteinn9061]

I think your wrong. The one hand problem is that there is no pause between the verses. Same probleme for iron maiden

[@gumblebroo]

it is wrong, because tolkki is improvising ANY solo he ever "wrote". he does not play a single note as it should be. i can not take this as "good playing" :)

[@kim_chan_3696]

1:37 Kotipelto : Where have all the yeeeeeeeeeeeee...... is gone?

[@thebestmusicofall]

timo was saving power for that AWESOME scream on 4:00. thats why he failed chorus

[@ignaciorodriguez7415]

3:04😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 cositaaa ricaaaaaa, aguante stratoooo

[@reaperdoom5128]

Este fue el inicio del fin del la "banda" (porque siempre fue tolkki).. en una entrevista dijeron que casi no habian ensayado para este recital.. ya estaba todo mal

[@Respectthewilderness]

Damn, Tolkki is a Guitar Monster

[@VKzGibson]

it's funny how TT has 2 engl special edition amps there and his guitar plugged into the fireball 60 :)

[@user-gc2rl3sh4r]

The drummer...

[@marcosilvatorchio]

he leído algunos comentarios en los que comparan el hoy en día de kiske y kotipelto, no hay por donde compararlos, kotipelto siempre ha tenido problemas de afinación y de no llegar a los tonos en vivo, a diferencia de kiske, es cierto q los años te pasan la cuenta pero creó q no hay comparación en la calidad vocal entre ambos

[@PATCHMusic]

+Marco Silva En un momento quizas si se pudo llegar a comparar, si miras los performances del 2003 - 2004 para ser precisos son geniales... Ese habra sido su mejor momento, igualmente de que kiske domina mucho mas la voz no hay duda, pero simplemente yo preferia la de kotipelto por su timbre (antes de que cambie)

[@gtajjx78]

+GudBisnes! concuerdo contigo además a kotipelto se le fastidio la voz porque cantar esas notas tan altas durante mucho tiempo le afecto aque a mi no me importa para mi strato será para siempre la única banda para mi en cuanto a kiske es cierto canta exelente pero ese tío dejo de cantar una buena temporada además las notas de sus canciones no son tan altas a ecepcion de march of time claro

[@Judezki92]

This is a really hard song to play and especially to sing. I think if somebody has ever tried to sing this properly knows what i mean.

[@Corrosive1]

@schieese yep , he's getting much better again ! :)

[@DorimiPrism]

@jakobo88 Black Diamond in Wacken 2005 is probably the best Stratovarius live performance ever ;) search for it

@emiblindside Listen carefully... the drummer is not free from mistakes... and Tolkki's solo is just random notes....

[@emiliopainkiller1120]

geniallllllllllllll

[@lp1653]

1:52 Tolkki: ''please someone kill me now''

[@yoque8531]

La voz de kotipelto agudicima

[@ghida44]

@empeltdenavelina I've seen some live shows where Kotipelto sings even better thank Kiske...unfortunately not everytime. Kiske is a god by the way, i love is Place Vendome albums

[@JohannesFrykholm]

@markbrutal Agreed, don't understand why there are so many power metal vocalists who can't sustain light notes. It's not that hard

[@LeSLieDaRkAnGeL]

Eso es lo q nunca me terminó de agradar de mi Kotipelto,siempre arrugaba en vivo :'( no se q le pasaba

[@nicorojas3597]

Hablas en serio ? Te falta escuchar varios conciertos de strato entonces

[@LeSLieDaRkAnGeL]

@@nicorojas3597 como cuál, déjalo aquí donde cante completo y las notas originales sin gallearse

[@nicorojas3597]

Puedes buscar el tour elements del 2003 - 2004. Incluso registros de conciertos del año recién. La gira destiny 99 o la promoción del infinite. Busque.

[@anibaldk]

En el album Visions of Europe su performance es muy respetable. Pero si se queda muchas veces un poco mas corto en vivo que otros. Lo mismo pienso de Manowar.

[@ragw33d]

@Judezki92 really hurts if u don't prepare for it hurt my throat one day playing it

[@fantasma950114]

Is too bad that Kotiptelto's voice sounds tired. It's the same thing with Kiske, they are getting older and their voices is going with their live. I hope we can enjoy Stratovarius by much more time.

[@PontusOzzyA]

What are you talking about, you think kiske is getting tired?? Kiske is on a total different lever than Timo

[@DorimiPrism]

I love Strato, but compare this to the Vision years... well

[@ghida44]

@NeonVomit I've seen Matias last year and god the kid is good, can certainly play......Timo Tolkki at his best is out of his league and out od many other guitarist worlwide, this has to be said.

[@criscool64]

2:41 no video input xd

[@FurbyParade226]

Chorus fail?..pfft hardly.. apparently, you're forgetting Stratovarius' ability to pull progression out of nothing...

[@Ancermo666]

"anybody here wanna hear some fast tracks? This song is a from, i think, Visions album" ...WTF Visions? lol....someone tell to Kolti, this song from Episode album...haha!!!

[@stunningcactus978]

Did he say this song is from Visions? It's from Episode! What the heck?

[@alejandrarosales4344]

Cuando aún Stratovarius valía la pena No tolkki no Stratovarius Like: Stratovarius tolkki Comenta: stratovarius Johansson

[@reaperdoom5128]

stratovarius llego a ser lo que es por la voz de kotipelto, jens el teclado y jorg en la bata.. lo que decis son patrañas de un fanatico de tolkki

[@Rockit66]

Kotipelto is realy strugeling, but then again, he started to strugle before Halford, Geof Tate and maby Kiske. I'm not sure about Kiske cause I've heard him lately and he still can do it. Maby sloppy at warming up. ...

[@asipu1234]

Kiske is still awesome!

[@teofendy]

Gamay !!

[@Archigram89]

se nota que es un temazo dificil de cantar para kotipelto, tolkki lo cantaria sin ninguna molestia jaja... MAESTRO TOLKKI

[@Archigram89]

escucha los coros de tolkki y sus agudos y sabras de que hablaba!!

[@asipu1234]

Siempre he preferido los agudos de Tolkki, es más, siempre que Kotipelto canta cualquier canción de los 3 primeros discos en los que cantaba Tolkki, los agudos los hace ridículamente mal. Con esto no quiero decir que no me guste Kotipelto eh, pero las cosas como son.

[@emiblindside]

@rikkertje89 but while his vocal chords were allright :P lol

[@ghida44]

@Corrosive1 I agree, i was thinking what that fuck is Timo singing???

[@user-qs1hb2pr2d]

형님.. 전성기때보다는 힘들어 보이시네요 ㅠㅠ

[@emiblindside]

@mateo2711ify oh really? but every one say he is the best.. very weird

[@reingofterror]

FUE UN GRAN WACKEN ESTE, PERO STRATOVARIUS AKI NO SE VE EN SU MEJOR PERFORMANCE COMO EN EL WACKEN 2003 , SE NOTA LA HOSTILIDAD KE HAY ENTRE TOLKKI Y KOTIPELTO.

[@cklaudiolv.1722]

Este tema tolki no fue tan virtuoso como en estudio cosa que debería ser al contrario.

[@maksimzebzeev1267]

заебись )

[@al85exunderowonedge]

peccato per kotipelto che è rimasto senza voce.. per il resto,un tempo mi piacevano tantissimo..

[@nickating]

what the hell with the subliminal message?

[@wsaer56]

@NeonVomit Really you think Matias is that good?

[@rafick100]

lol faltou voz no kotipelto.... 1:39 a 1:42

[@emiblindside]

@rikkertje89 hey, remember I said the same long ago.. thats a fact!

[@Premdus]

Jorg is best =)

[@ghida44]

@awarcry seems like it...they all got that kind of "what the fuck are we doing" face.

[@ervin3422]

the stratovarius fan girls are hot!

[@Fuckboy5457]

wwwooowww TK fuck the chorus two times! But funny! Cool singer!

[@Fuckboy5457]

Yeah! and he had to fix the TK mistakes twice!

[@emiblindside]

mistakes came from kotipelto only

Oh lord..... wtf with Kotipelto and the Drummer... And Tolkki...

[@Corrosive1]

Chorus fail :S I love Stratovarius, but my ears and heart hurts when I see how bad they sometimes played these oldies. Kotipelto's voice is about to shatter. And how about TT's and TK's double vocal harmonies - what the fuck seriously? Well this is pretty damn hard song to play though. And they are doing better now again. Respect!

[@mtalzer09]

kotipelto is great but he can sing like before . because his voice is full exploded!!! :/

[@wallywishmaster998]

Que manera de pifiarle... igual, AGUANTE STRATOVARIUS!!

[@supremefantastic]

I love the song on the record, a great and catchy power metal-song. One of my favourite songs from Stratovarius. But I can't stand this performance - really, really horrible. Jörg is doing as good as he can, but Kotipelto sings both higher than his voice can and also totally out of step (especially in the end).

[@AlejandroRes]

Which one was first Helloween-Salvation or Father Time?

[@supremefantastic]

@@AlejandroRes Good question, both very similar 😄

[@Whackooyzero]

I think Tolkki WAS a better guitarist than Kupianen, but that has switched around now.

[@andreougr]

@NeonVomit too bad that guitar skill not goes with the same songwriting skill..........don't get me wrong ...i thought polaris was very good work but not even close to the songs that TT wrote for the band...... i would rather listen to rev renaicense and symfonia instead of the new strato cd

[@brianspirit5388]

Kotipelto perdido en la cancion xD

[@user-hl9so9vm3s]

Да после 2 ух элементов стратовариус уже не тот

[@0XxClaymanxX0]

Kotipelto shucks...

[@Sirist10]

4:14 wtf ?? xD

[@M3talHer0]

What in the actual fuck?!?!?! hahahahah... This sounds like a live performance of DragonForce. Kotipelto wasnt at his best in this concert, of course

[@markbrutal]

tolkki really sucks alive.

[@DeathMetalAngel6666]

kotipelto lost the voice XD but kotipeto is the best singer

[@rafick100]

porra, kitipelto se disgraçou todo nessa musica.... lol

[@Sebrivslipk]

:'( pobres, me encanta stratovarius pero debo admitir que esta cancion en vivo fue una mierda T_T Iugalmente Stratovarius es la segunda mejor banda de power metal :D

[@gumblebroo]

tolkki was bad...improvising all the solos....i mean - come on! :D

[@Whackooyzero]

Bull. Listen to the solo in "future shock" and "hands of time" and then go flush your head down the toilet for sheer idiocy. Not too mention Tolkki plays his solos pretty much the same way live as on the album at least most of the time.

[@asdfreakable]

look's like thor lol

[@Mega.Narvik]

Canta bien chuchetumare que le dan tanto color

[@impheris]

jajajajajajajaja nice joke :P

[@Fimwind]

This is good performance from the rest of the band, but Kotipelto really sucks.

[@andrewsviana]

My God! So much mistakes for a band like this. hahaha Never seen a Strato's show this way. Oo

[@Metal_Icarus1105]

dont give TK shit. you have any idea how difficult this is to sing?

[@kenosiar]

Oh man... Kotipelto's voice sounds horrible... It's a shame, I have never seen them live, and now that Tolkki has leave, I have less interest in going to a gig of them, I hope it just happened in that concert...

[@jakobo88]

kotipelto and the whole band really started to suck live from like 2004

[@davidbecker8149]

la peor versión de stratovarius que he esuchado en mi puta vida del ascoooooo (el solo de la verga , la voz no le llego al tono, el baterista se desfasa) lastima

[@jaskamakynen7766]

Have to face the fact. They sound just overally sloppy and disinterested, low point of Strato tbh. Only Lauri at Bass and Jens are performing musically well.
