Re: New album 2012-2013?????????
I wonder whether Stratovarius are free to choose to play what they want, or whether the management has a say too? 'Cos some time ago I read a Michael Weikath interview, in which he said something like he's sick and tired of playing "Dr. Stein" and "I Want Out", but the band is under pressure from th...

Re: Jorg Farewell Tour
I'm a bit disappointed. They said they'd play some songs that they have never played live before. And well, they did. But I sort of assumed that'd mean selected cuts from their own back catalogue.

Hate to break this to you, but as far as I know Tuomo Lassila is happy with his job in the symphonic orchestra, and has no plans to rejoin Stratovarius.
Now get over it.

Yep, him. Little is known about him. He played some live shows with the band, but didn't participate in the recordings of "Twilight Time". It's been said he didn't move around when on stage, but just stood still instead. He left/was fired because of musical reasons before the recordings of "Dreamspa...

Re: We want Lassila to be the new drummer.
You are correct. In some places the credits may be displayed incoherently, iow. like this: Future Shock (Tolkki-Lassila) but in the album notes it says all music was written by Tolkki. Anyway, Antti Ikonen has been composing music throughout his career, mostly music for theater plays. It's quite lik...

Re: We want Lassila to be the new drummer.
True, even though Antti Ikonen was never credited for any song (unlike Lassila) he, as the keyboardist, probably had bigger influence on the sound of the early albums than Lassila. By the way, I think Chameleon actually is a good album. At least if you pretend it doesn't say "Helloween" on the album...

Re: We want Lassila to be the new drummer.
I agree, Lassila back to Stratovarius. The quality of their music started to drop when he was kicked by Tolkki. I don't fully agree, as I think the peak of Stratovarius was in 1996-1997. But I do think the first 4 albums had a more unique sound. From Episode on their sound became more generic. That...
