I edited certain parts that sounded more like a fan's ravings than an encyclopedia, feel free to discuss.... Yandman 07:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I think all information about 'The Metal Opera' should be moved. Seeing how Avantasia is the band and "The Metal Opera" is the albums. Matt Pizzashack ( talk) 19:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
This page has been majorly cut down. Is there any reason why? I'm tempted to restore the old version if there is no reason given for turning this article into a stub... Sanctusorium
Alright, I didn't see a single reason as to why the whole article was chopped away and it was all done by one IP address. I am copy pasting the state of the article before that IP address had started to make changes. If anyone has issues with this, please talk about it. Sanctusorium
There were several revisions removing massive amounts of content without explanation, so I rolled these back.
Why does it say deceased under Tobias Sammet under the section Vocalists. As far as I know is still alive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.219.145.37 ( talk) 21:00, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Support splits - The Members and Discography sections are becoming long and should be split to new articles entitled List of Avantasia members and Avantasia discography. Thoughts? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 23:42, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
I remember some time ago this page claimed that Avantasia is a portmanteau of "avant-garde" and "fantasia", but now it's changed to "Avalon" and "fantasia". There is no source backing it up and a brief search didn't turn up anything useful (just copies of that same paragraph). Can anyone with the booklet confirm or deny it? Also, I don't see a connection between Avalon (mythical island from the Death of King Arthur, if I remember correctly, excuse my translation, and the name of Timo Tolkki's "project") and Avantasia, whose story is set in a new dimension, and from the places on Earth only Germany has anything to do with it (Mainz), so it might be worth an explanation if there's any.
