INDEPENDENT !!!

Why is there no option for something like that? Not everybody is left or right...

Well, I don't have time to read the whole new Tolkki's announcement, so I just skimmed through it. The only thing that came into my mind is: there was "Stratovarius" before Tolkki came to the band...and the band was different, played different music than "classical" 1990s' Stratovarius... My memorie...

This Kiske-version is somehow boring

What do you mean? That if one doesn't sing high, almost displeasing and impossible to understand, it's wasting? Or what?

Of course. But you usually solve the problems BEFORE you release the album. Yes. That is what we are doing, thats why we are not releasing it before we solve the problems . In the meantime we return the money and give and extra CD for free as compensation. Just if you didnt understand what is happe...

Insurmountable problems? :buh: There are so many things that can come up with mixing video's and audio, then mastering them, encoding them,etc I major in Computer Animation, Video/Audio Editing so I know exactly what Insurmountable problems would mean. Of course. But you usually solve the problems ...

Insurmountable problems?

I don't know the facts about Jari, only the band knows. BUT this is common excuse for firing anyone.

TimoTolkki wrote:My proposal for the farewell tour included the original line up, so with Jari Kainulainen and not Lauri btw.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah. That would be awesome.

I mean that New Era is not a good indication how the future could be. It was a good way to start this band since I had this cool songs and I wanted the best possible musicians I could get at that time but it was clear that it wont be the final line up. When that is found and we make the next record...

Yeah, but I think they're been looking forward to Stratovarius DVD.

Part of the lyrics are in "Last Night On Earth lyrics" thread - here: http://www.stratovarius.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8526 Demos are not "scrapped", they are never used for album production. Ours never even had proper lyrics. Is there a chance to hear those demos with "unproper" lyrics some day? A...

Yeah, I was thinking about him too. The RR sample with Pasi rulezzzz

It's been a while i posted over here,but i just want to say i fully respect the step of TimoT,it's better for him to to go his own way.And more important as a team with some great musicians. One thing i have a huge Strato-tattoo on my arm,pay for the laser treatment Timo :lol: Why removing it? 8) I...

Have you tried to click on the "dot" when the forum isn't displayed because of the error?

Hey Folks, nobody (and also not Timo Tolkki) has to explain here or justify himself for the end of Stratovarius. No, of course not. Am I saying that anybody has to? Everything was said. :? it is easier to call and say: "you are fired". No, it's not easier. Much easier is to write an e-mail, because...

After listening to the samples these songs sound good, but they miss the soul. This album would have been a good Stratovarius album, the songs lack the soul of Stratovarius :? Because the songs lack Kotipelto! :) and Jörg, Jens and Lauri ... :wink: Maybe, but singer is often crucial person. There a...

Have you heard the samples yet?

TimoTolkki wrote:but I did expect somekind of an answer to a mail where you break the band up

I would expect that if someone wants to break a band up, he says it to the others face-to-face, or at least by a phone call...

I don't support these "half-Strato" line-ups. The new album is called "New Era". If it's new era, there should be a completely new line-up. If the line-up would be e.g. Tolkki, Porra, Johansson, someone, someone...what would be the difference from firing Kotipelto and Jörg? I did not want to fire TK...

I have understood MESS doesn´t exist anymore... Or is in limbo at the moment. Jari is too busy in Evergrey, and elias with Sonata, Tuple partly when Tarot is active and Atte has other projects too. Yes. I think it's just left aside for a while...unfortunately it seems to be a long while. Well...for...

Wasting his talent in Kotipelto band?? WTF?

Headhunter is cool! What do you have against it?
Evergrey is Evergrey, but I really like MESS! I hope it has some future...

stratoplayer wrote:I hope Jens and Lauri play there, maybe Jani Limataiinen?

I don't know, but Lauri is in Kotipelto band. That would be strange if he played with Timo and also with the other Timo

Yes, you're right, it was totally great & asskicking
If it was the last Stratogig I'll ever see, that was the best "bye" I can imagine.

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

Well, maybe I'm too stupid , but why wasn't it possible to say something earlier?

Last year when Stratovarius were playing in the Czech Republic, after the gig I told somebody that something wasn't OK. I didn't know what exactly, but I had a strange feeling because of this. Well, I imagined many things, but it really didn't come into my mind that they will break up SO soon... :? ...
