Except he really does read this regularly...

I am sorry, but it is not possible to say more in this moment.
You will understand everything later.

I really dont hope this is the end with Stratovarius.......
I belive its great that Timo doing the solo stuff
but please, keep Stratovarius alive!!!!

We just have to assume that everything will settle.

I don't think that he's lying or whatever, it's just something complicated I think.

Though I'm glad that TT confirmed that something's going on by posting here

Edit: TT you should post in the main page that something's going on but you can't tell more.
At least people would be satisfied.

Hi Timo! Hope this will not become a Miss K scenario pt.2

miss K I remember that

We should just wait, after all it's just a band..

hmmmm this is true that revolution renaissance is a band and are making the next album that stratovarius was supposed to record. Then How would that explain the Video Blog Timo put up on the stratovarius website where they finished the demos are were close to starting recording.

If Timo cant talk to us about it right now then it maybe a restriction in his contract. But I just cant see how the rumors of a New Album with a New Lineup and Name could help anyone in anyway. Well I do have a theory.

If there really is a revolution renaissance then maybe Timo's trying to end his current contract with Frontiers Records. Its strange but from what I understand is that revolution renaissance album is replacing stratovarius's album so I guess that means in the contract to. If thats the case then maybe he wants to end the contract using revolution renaissance and start a new one with stratovarius. This is just theory of course to get something official we are going to have to wait until Timo can tell us something. Timo's always told us important news right away so Im sure as soon as he can he will clear this up.

I was thinking about the same.

There won't be legal problems as Sanctuary doesn't exist anymore. Stratovarius doesn't have to produce more music anymore.

Sanctuary almost went bankrupt, but they still very much exists. They were bought by Universal Music Group which right now is the biggest record label in the world(they are the guys that own roadrunner records). So It could be that the contract still exists but now with universal since they own Sanctuary. James Blunt and Elton Johns contracts apparently still exist with sanctuary even after the takeover from Universal so mostly likly the same for Stratovairus, unless in the contract they agreed that if the company is taken over the contract will be void. I dont know but remember what I said was a theory! I could be very very wrong! I hope I am to, if this is whats going down then its going to be hard to fix and it will take a while. Timo and Stratovarius have already gone through a lot I hope they dont go through anything else like this in the future.

I would not worry about the users on blabbermouth. Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one.

I do wonder why Kotipelto is not singing on RR. Thats a real bummer.

Sanctuary Records Stratovarius info. is still listed here.

So, in regards to the name, vanustrato was the only one close. (yea, I reread the thread. I'm really bored tonight.) I still liked Red Rum.

And I was sure it would Rastafari Rampage.

Yeah, seems pretty close to what it became.

Concerning the rumours about Revolution Rennaissance, I must say I'm a bit surprised. And again no official news.

At least something to discuss now.

Well, I do would enjoy the usual line-up to continue playing, and hope that Stratovarius doesn't disappear any time soon. But maybe this is for the moment. Maybe Stratovarius will come out with their album later on. I've waited a long time already. I don't mind waiting more. Either way, I'm not planning to die any of these days, so I'm fine with it. As long as it is not the end of Stratovarius of course.

But, I am glad that we'll get some good 'ol heavy metal from Tolkki. Vision-style! Finally! I've been waiting since Elements Pt. 2 came out. Don't get me wrong, Stratovarius is a good album. . .but a metal album without double bass it's only metal, not heavy metal.

We support you Tolkki!

Please Timo!

Don't let Stratovarius die!

Well, I still think this sucks. But on the other hand... Kiske singing power metal once again..?
