I hope you don't prefer New strato than older. Tolkki Was Stratovarius

actually, tbh, i think i do prefer the newer strat. maybe black diamonds / eagleheart era was best, but the really early stuff was much thrashier, like what you posted. almost sounded like early metallica, but with different vocals. dont get me wrong, i like it, certainly better than metallica's recent crap, but it doesnt have as much of that epic power metal feel like the newer and recent strat stuff. its just what i prefer.[/QUOTE]
actually we call it early power metal / Speed Metal.
Like Early Stratovarius ( Mentioned here ) And Helloween/Blind guardian w/e
Of course it's not the same thing as the new stuff.
All these bands became like stratovarius. Power Metal.[/QUOTE]
Right. And I'm not as big a fan of speed metal or thrash metal.
