Some of you have heard rumours that Jari Kainulainen has left Stratovarius. Unfortunately I have to tell you that they are true.
This is due to personal reasons. We will release official statement regarding that soon.

Whatever happened, lets all wish Jari good luck. He and his wife seem to be really good people!
He has talent and will do well!

I'm sure that next basist is Lauri Porra.

Lauri is fucking great player, but I think that he is bit too young for Stratovarius. I know that lot if you disagree.
But, if Lauri is going be next player for Strato, I will be really happy for that.

This is too sad.
I heard rumors about it earlier today but the forums weren't working.
And I come here and its true Sad

Oh well, no one cares about bass Laughing

I'll let the story pan out before I start assuming anything. False news does travel fast. Jari, best wishes to you! I hope all of your plans go in your favor! And to the guy above me, fuck you. This is no lauging matter! Jari has been with the band for a long time now and of course people care about bass; I particularly liked his bass playing. So my first question is does this effect the upcoming World Tour?

is jari taking a break or is he leaving the band permanently, he really kicks ass with the bass in songs like kiss of judas, stratofortress and distant skies.... Sad

To bad Jari left strato,but there are pletty of great bass player like Jurgen Steinmetz (slinet force) or Marcel Jacob (talisman,yngwie)

What can I say, this has come as a shock to me as well. I just hope it won't negatively affect the 2005 World Tour. Stratovarius needs to continue, with or without Jari. I wish him the best of luck.

Rock on Jari!!

Well...what can I say that is not allready stated?

Good luck Jari....

Good luck Stratovarius......

And yes, He is a great player!

I like songs such as Eternity, Dreamweaver and others mainly because the bass! oh, yeah, 030366 rocks too...

I heard the rumours, but I was expecting something official. But why doesn't it surprise me?

Do you remember something I wrote in the thread which talked about new photos?

Fireblade · Sr. Member Joined: 02 Mar 2002 Posts: 1761

This is sad. But I wish the best to Strato to find a replacement that they can feel as close to as someone they have toured with for years, and to Jari also... wonder what he will do next?
