Those days that Timo is playing acoustic gigs with Jani Liimatainen are a good chance to listen live some Kotipelto songs!
Here is "Beauty Has Come"

Re: Stratovarius New Drummer - Peter Wildoer?
I am very proud to say to my friends that my favourite band is not dead yet. Let Matias compose and give his fresh view of Metal, let Jens bring his experience, his notion of music, let Timo thrill us with his voice, with his eyes, and let Porra show his power, his versatilty. Now add a talented dru...

Re: Your top three Kotipelto favourite songs?
Well, I think that Kotipelto compositions are not Stratovarius-like compositions. Sometimes people use to compare it to Strato power metal songs... I like very much his stuff, and for me their best songs are: 1- Last Defender (Serenity) . 2- Mr. Know it All (Serenity). 3- Coldness of My Mind (Coldne...

Re: Stratovarius New Drummer - Peter Wildoer?
You just don't know what the future prepares to you. At that point in 2003 Tolkki could not know what happened after the Elements saga release. Being realistic, Stratovarius is no more what had been on that golden days, but still is a good band with a good future projection, which is good. In 2009 n...

valo_666 is just saying that Stratovarius is no more the legendary band that had been during those golds days and that they don't deserve such an excellent drummer Peter Wildoer. A respectable opinion, but it's just another opinion :). So far, so good. Nevertheless I prefer this Stratovarius that th...

Re: New Stratovarius drummer (your thoughts or preferences)
I am sure that they have selected one drummer for sure. Stratovarius has booked some summer festival concerts, and probably during this month they will book some more. This could not be possible without having the security that there will be a full time new drummer. The fact is that probably they wa...

Re: Finnish Metal Awards 2011
Epic Win for Turisas! I liked a lot "Stand Up And Fight", but on the other hand there's CoB epic fail. It was an "OK" album, but at least not enough. Stratovarius has done a good job and the band is in the major part of rankings and Matias is in the musician of the year ranking! Congratulations guys!

Re: New Stratovarius drummer (your thoughts or preferences)
It's impossible for Anders, he plays in HammerFall (as a full-time drummer) and in FullForce (where he spends a lot of time too). Stratovarius needs a full-time drummer and Anders nowadays doesn't fit with the needs that tha band has.

It would be good to se you as the opner band of Strato for a possible new World Tour, as guest in Europe for example!
I hope you the best and to carry on with the project, great musicians as Jari or Jörg, very appreciated ones for Stratofans deserve a good ban to play in!

Excellent song!
I hope you enjoy it! It would be great to have a tour with Stratovarius headlining and Amberian Dawn as the opener,
it seems that there's a very good relationship between those great two bands

Re: NEW Unisonic music video! Kiske/Hansen etc.
It's okay. Kiske's voice remains amazing, after all those years. He has looked after his voice singing and performing songs that fit perfectly with his tune. In this video we can see Power, but not Power Metal !.

The fact is that Stratovarius, was, is, will be Stratovarius. What we have seen after Elysium was Stratovarius as a supporter with a 10 songs' setlist every night... Of course if we talk about a Stratovarius Tour again, we can enjoy a 17 songs' setlist, which can combine perfectly a good and balance...

Re: Difficult question: The worst strato song(s) for you
Tolkki "hired" Kotipelto for the same reason that recruited Jens and Jörg: because he needed excellent musicians that could be able to play the music that he had in mind.

Re: Difficult question: The worst strato song(s) for you
That was Tolkki's fault, so many songs where Kotipelto had to sing so high were composed by TT. Tolkki explained years ago that TK was unwilling to sing that kind of songs, but at least Tolkki composed them and he had to sing songs like Find Your Own Voice.
