Stratovarius - Hold On To Your Dream (unplugged) 

Stratovarious will always be legend among my favorite metal bands, forever.

GRANDE STRATOVARIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like this band since i was a child ! i have been in two of their four shows in chile

When Stratovarius came to El Salvador, Central America....everybody sang every song of this great band, we shouted with all our heart and Stratovarius will come again because we truly love them and we are really fans of them...they are a megaband and every member of this band is unique, voice, guitar bass, electric guitar, keyboard, drumbs....whole group.

this is the amazing band stratovarius from all the world and most someway borders the universe this musick to all universe the best band stratovarius

One of the best songs of Stratovarious!

"Come on what the fuck is that" that's what I call Motivating the crowd ... Great man Timo!!

Uff! desde que vi este video hace varios años, me volvi a convencer de que Stratovarius es uno de los grandes, Bueno la verdad, extraño este Stratovarius:(

grande strato grande timo increible voz !!!!!

I bet the crowd was just so staggered of Kotipelto's amazing voice that they were like paralyzed ;P I just can't stop marvelling myself that singing voice...

Here in South America too. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, people get crazy in shows.

the lyrics are awesome and the unplagged version is also cool up stratovarius!!

Hold on to your dream somewhere there's a beam of hope which is guiding your way through the dark..

Good for you, lad! Keep listening to them. They are amazing! :)

Timo is amazing, just a few people sing alive like him, so if you are not one of that, shut up and listen to.

agree with robibm2003, Kotipelto has his own stylke and a very trained voice, would like to see one of you try just to reach those high notes

Essa versão dela é minha favorita

Timo Tolkki said that Helloween was one of his influences.

aguante stratovarius afferate a tus suenos y nunca te rindas. 1 de enero 2023

I like when Tolkki says "Com'on what the fuck is that?" he's the best

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thnx for this vid! I've always searching for Kotipelto singing early Strato stuff... This song fit better for Tolkki.

I'm half swedish/ half finnish I LOVE kotipelto and STRATO!

Timo K. he is one of the best no doubt about it.

Jeez!! When I read "unplugged" I would have never imagined that there won't even be a basic EQ on the guitar or a verb on the vocals!! Still, Kotipelto sounds awesome, and Timo.... well, he's Timo =)

Wow... his voice sounds just as good live as in the recording.

igual el tema es rebueno uno de mis favoritos de ese disco ! =)

Son un grupo muy especial, me gusta mucho!!

I saw them in concert here in Bogotá...It was fucking great... Guys thanks for making excellent music Metal Forever

God damn Stratovarius and their being awesome... I hope they're still awesome with the new Guitarrist

Two Timos

[sob] after this... after this beautiful song... they split up! T_T

@Mithferion Come on, he miss a lot, not in this song but in other live shows i can't hear it. Btw, I love him.. and strato my favourite band... he is awesome.

Kotipelto is great, this song is not made for him is made for Tolkki, so Kotipelto done a very good job ¡long life to Stratovarius!! we hope you here in Chile, forever yours

I don't know: for example, if you listen to Visions Of Europe album, the crowd make chorus... for music!! (specially with Twilight Symphony). Only on Forever they really sing parts of the song (well, and they cheer "Timo!, Timo!, Timo!" or "Stratovarius!, Stratovarius!..." at the end of some more songs). It's something strange XD

stratooooo

Excellent song!

Perfect!!

I LOVE KOTIPELTOS VOICÉ!! YEAH!!

1:50 Tolkki: "Come on! what the fuck is that?" xD No comieron los del público, estaban fríos.

great video thanks!!!

I love this song, I hope their next album will be as good as it. The last one was really desappointing :(

Long live the GODS! Stratovarius RIP

super!

I like both voices, Tolkki and Kotipelto

good times of strato

MOTHERFUCKIN' GREAT VOICE.

The greatest powermetal band of all times, do not compare these heroes with gay sonata. Although Sonata have some good songs too :P Up the Irons btw!

song eccellente

saludos dessde colombia estratovarius

@loztdignity Then you are half god/ half god ;-) I'm from Czech republic, but I love them too :D

jaja parece k kiere ladrar xD pero la hacee stratovarius forever!!!

i dont agree with info "Timo Kotipelto is a very good singer, but sometimes he misses during the high notes." yes, he sometime misses, but in this song is so hard sing that, he is doint it very good. in studio version is this part singing with more singers. i like this version more..

great performance, stop complaining, not many heavy metal singers can reach notes that high live

grandiosos que tema esto si que es musica

We will...but you wont be there to feel that...thanks a lot again...HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM STRATOVARIUS!Farewell whatever you do... -Come on!what the fuck is that!?!?! we fucking need you! :(

I knew they had split up before the last album, but I didn't know they split up once again. Maybe it's better, they were not playing as well as before.

@Yithar I agree with you, completely, yeah, there`s NOTHING hotter!!!!

Kotipelto has a fine voice. Yeah, it isn't as powerful as Geoff Tate or Robert Plant or somebody like that, but he makes the best with what he has and that is pretty damned good in my estimation.

very good!!

Excelente!

good times

His charisma compensates his misses.

"C'mon, what the fuck is that?" :D

Terve kaverit! Best regards from CZ

Gracias Rony

Fucking awesome

no le hagas caso. no es mal publico, no tiene nada de malo sentarse y escuchar.

@yjmpgkl I mean overall. When you listen to some of his live performances, he misses a little bit. BUT that doesn't mean that he is not a great singer. Flaws happen, but that's almost unavoidable.

foodaa!

I played with Timo Tolkki the last week :) There are videos on my channel and more to come.

@nesronesro He misses: fact. He sings this song VERY well: fact. What I mean is that he has some flaws, but if you consider the whole song, those are minor flaws. Nobody would sing this perfectly. (;

The duet between Tolkki and Kotipelto xd

Your not the only one. :D

@Mithferion - I'm sure there are a lot of guys who can sing this song perfectly, looking from a broad perspective of singers international and nationally

supper life

@GammaRay1337: I know it was first sung by Tolkki. But I mean, is it really necessary to play this song again live with different singer, if it doesn't sound half as good as the original? They have many other songs, which would be much better choices than this. It seems to me that Kotipelto doesn't realise his limits...

Stratovarius can't just break! It's not just a band, it's like religion to some, and how can religion stop it's being? Miss Strato already... :S

temaso aunque me gusta mas la version estudio xD

It couldnt be 88, TK didnt join Strato until 95.

@Stratovarius08 ohhh :O but... are u sure? I really see Tolkki saying that while Kotipelto is just clapping ;)

I wonder what TT was thinking when TK was singing the song he used to...

1998

temon

Shows how much I know about the band haha

come on.. whats the fuck is that? euhehuehuehu hold onn to your dream! somewhere there's a beam of hope which is guilding your way through the dark!!!

@JuanPaBJxGothic not Tolkki it was Kotipelto ^^

yeah that was the guitarist

nice song bud i think the crowd are old ppl

That audience didn't hold on to their dreams.

god song

única de las pocas veces que se vio a Kotifleto con Porkki juntos ! .. si con el cariño que se tenían ! xD Aguante STRATO (como estén) .. xD

tengo dfotos de timo kotipelto y de la banda te las enviare claro me dejas saber donde te las envio ok

on W:o:A 2003 or 04 they didn't play solo from speed of your life.... :/

He is no Kiske. Kiske is god in the genre.

FYI, Tolkki is the one who says: "c'mon, what the fuck is that?".

Domingo 11 en el circo volador!!!

In Madrid/spain :)

totalmente de akuerdo q mal q ya se separaron
