Thanks for the interviews! I think they're very good and it's nice to see how he can change his answers slightly for each one. =)
Also, I think that American chick interviewer was in love with him. It would be hard not to be if you met him in person!

Re: WTF? Stratovarius Parody?
Thanks to all of you for the comments! It means the world to me coming from you guys. I'm really beaming from the compliments! =)
And I understand if the humor is not for you - some of those articles are not my thing, either. Anyway, I'm glad it was read by fans. =)

He even rarely drinks alcohol, and when he does, he drinks red wine, which is actually healthy if you drink only 2-3 dl. Second suspicious thing was the 5 ...

Like everyone said, I'm very sorry to hear that you were hurt, especially by someone you loved (who loved you very much). It's true they did this to protect you and maybe in a weird way, you learned to question authority and not just believe everything you're told. At least, that's how I take it. Wh...

Re: Strato on TV.
I saw it. It wasn't very good. Sound sucks and Koti didn't sing well... The Land of Ice and Snow was good but United was just very boring. Shame. Yeah, I think "United" is one of the less "interesting" songs musically. But don't get me wrong, I love the message and I'm glad Tolkki wrote it. And it ...
