I'm very happy because finally I'm coming back home a.k.a Trololo

shitolkki plays like shit. shitolkki, shitolkki

timo tolkki

It's not about how bad he has been doing lately. It's not like I'm a Tolkki hater (like some Eternal guy arround here), but to my ears (and I think musically too), Elysium is pretty much above all Tolkki's songs as a whole. I don't bash Tolkki, it's not about that. I'm one of the few active members...

I'm sorry, but I don't see Tolkki composing anything in the lever of Elysium (The Song). I have to oppose this. no matter how bad the things TT have done recently, one fact cannot be deny is that he is a great composer. Despite Elysium (the song) is good, it cannot be compared with the masterpieces...

of course it's not TT's solo, as with the solos in Trinity.

It will be big. I don't necessarily feel good about it. Actually I feel sad. But anyway, this scandal will be big. I won't say anything myself. But sooner or later, I believe someone will reveal it.

is there any actual information about them not doing further work together? you guys do know people can do other things in their life than just be with a band 24/7? plenty of musicians work on many things when bands are on a break. plenty even teach and provide other services while on tour. if we g...

It honestly looks like he wants some attention and for someone to feel bad for him. Those hardcore fans of him will eat this up like candy, LIKE CANDY! Maybe he saw the "In-Pizzadisium" picture and then recorded this? Sorry, don't be ashamed of eating pizza. http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpxp3f...

Part of Timo is full of lying, cheating, behaving bad to his friends. But he also has a part which is absolutely beautiful and honest, which he brings into his music. This song shows that he's so depressed now. Timo Tolkki is a so difficult to understand person. Now I guess that Symfonia is over, a...

he is already FIRED. take him
and also, Jari is FIRED
Andre is also FIRED
Mikko is FIRED

Lauri came because Jari was fired, And Strato-ended because Tolkki was tired, RR was born, they did not get far, With Luthor still waiting for his guitar, Symfonia was born, with TWO fat musicians, Who both participated in the compositions, Everyone thought this was a great change, With Tolkki's so...

just take Alex Landenburg, seriously. I know he's in Symfonia but soon Symfonia will be no more, I guess.

I think I have missed the concept from the very beginning, at first when this all-star band was announced I thought about a renewal of the genre, a top notch, fresh new power metal rebirth made by 5 of the finest of the genre itself. It may be a good plate for the newcomers, but to me these songs s...

I also think that Gus is not a good singer for power metal oriented songs. Of course, he can do it, but he is more rock oriented. That was said a long time ago. And i'm not saying that he is a bad singer. No. it is the opposite with TK, for me he is a bad singer for rock oriented music. I think thi...

After listening to it, my opinion is pretty clear: great power metal album, but it was kind of ruined by Gus. Worst power metal singer ever. that's why TT decided to stop R-R, I think. Gus is nice but his voice might not take the band to anywhere. my subjective opinion. I don't say that Gus' voice ...

I like the song. good good

Everybody knows that the success of Stratovarius was the perfect line-up that TT found. Thanks to the arrival of Kotipelto, Jens and Jörg. TT is a fantastic composer and know (or at least knew) how to find the perfect melodies and compositions for every of the members, but without the rest of the b...

Kosmo wrote:Yeah, except that i think he hates TK's guts at the moment isn't that what's going on?

if TT hates TK too much and vice versa, then

I just want to listen to more of TT's music, you know. I still think that if TT didn't blow everything up, R-R would be a killer Stratovarius album.

Kosmo wrote:No.

Simply no, TT is an amazing composer and guitar player but if he would rejoin Stratovarius that would propably in a couple months time fuck up the whole band.

I think TT is much better in handle those situations now,he must realize something, after all the disasters in the past.

for me the best solution for TT is to rejoin Stratovarius. I'm not sure if the guys want it, though

I hate to admit it but I also agree with the twilight reference in that I think both the new album cover and the twilight cover look way too similar. it seems a bit lazy I think TT already knew he would stop RR so he didn't pay a lot of effort to this things.I was also suprise how quiet RR was,desp...

I'd like to point a few things that I think. The first one is that I don't think there's better keyboard player in the metal scene than Jens Johansson, and I became sure about that after listening to his album Ten Seasons , which I just bought in iTunes. The second, is that even when Age of Aquariu...

I'm not sure about that. If TT becomes better, everyone has a chance to contribute,write songs. Polaris proved that all members can write good song. if TT is not a dictator like before, then why not?

the big picture size kills my screen and honestly, I don't believe so much in this Symfonia rumor. I just think that this is it, nothing more from TT. a new band would not work. a bit sad. TT reunion with Strato is the best I can think, though

A really close friend told me he is starting a new super group called Symfonia, it will have Andre Matos on vocals, the other members are Uli Kusch, Jari Kainulainen and Bob Katsionis. A really close friend of mine also told me that he is starting another new Band called "Return to the Cheesefactur...

The fact is that R-R cannot survive and Stratovarius can Yes well, one is a 20 year old band with many albums and a whole history behind, the other one started as a fragile project back in 2008, it's not really fair to compare both bands. totally agree with you. I didn't meant to compare these band...

Strato is fine without Tolkki but Tolkki is not fine without strato... bullshit. I think that AoA is bettar than all Stratoalbum since Infinite. I don't think it is bs, I think it is partly true. whether AoA is good or not is just opinions ( I actually like both AoA and Polaris, I like Polaris a li...

is it possible that the band has 2 guitar players? Generally speaking, all power metal bands have two LEAD players, but Jens has always been that second lead guy. It's possible that Tolkki could come back and Matias could play rhythm, but I really doubt it at this point. I think the band wants to e...
