Autumn Greetings!

[bmaires]

Hi Timo, greetings.

Nice autumn to you to.

Best wishes to you, from a Portuguese fan.

"Esta espécie de loucura
Que é pouco chamar talento
E que brilha em mim, na escura
Confusão do pensamento,
Não me traz felicidade;
Porque, enfim, sempre haverá
Sol ou sombra na cidade.
Mas em mim não sei o que há."

[Holy Light]

Hey Timo!

Check your PMs when you get the chance. Metal!!! AAAHHH!!!~~~

[Beast_Pete]

I have a simple question: is everything alright with your health Timo? We haven't received news about you for a very long time. I hope everything is alright again.

But I bet, the answer is: "Yes, of course". It seemed to me, that you're fine again.

[browneyedgirl]

Hey Timo!

Check your PMs when you get the chance. Metal!!! AAAHHH!!!~~~

I bet he's got a million of 'em!

Stay metal!

Agreed 100 % ! That Lyon-show was awesome. I wish I could see more Stratovarius in the future, near or far. And I also wish you the best in you future career, Mr Tolkki.

Many thanks from all the nice messages. It feels good to me to read your words and it means a lot to me.
Me health is still not the best, but I am fighting. I haven´t been able to do pretty much any work in my studio at all.
I think I am on a journey that leads within. It´s hard to explain, but I have learned more about life and especially about myself in the last 6 months that I have learned before that (in fact, I didn´t learn so much before that). I wish I could explain it better,but I cannot.
About the future, there is no news I am afraid. These things take time and I think we all need to take our time. I know that I need it certainly.
Sometimes very bad things in the long run turn out to be blessings, sometimes they can break a human being. And that´s what we all are, human beings.
Anyway I wish you all nice autumn and hope all the best to you whoever you are and where ever you are.

Take care of yourselves, Timo

[Zeppelin]

nice to hear you again

I understand the way way you feel about the future... so it's good to have news not new !

So have a good atumn!!!

Continu to fight please !

[Fireblade]

Hi Timo,

It's great to hear that you are fighting the illness. You have already come a long way, and you're stronger than you realise! It's all in you.

Your studio and music can wait, despite the pressure. The first priority is to take care of yourself and your health.

About Strato, I think that the longer you all take apart, the more harmonious things will be if you do get back together. So don't hurry, go with the flow and follow your heart. Do only what feels right, at the time it feels right.

Take care of yourself!

Hi,

I'm glad to see you're in a good path

Thanks for your autograph and for having talked with me in Lyon (France) after the show (i'm a friend of Cliff).You're cool!

About the future, there is no news I am afraid. These things take time and I think we all need to take our time. I know that I need it certainly.
Sometimes very bad things in the long run turn out to be blessings, sometimes they can break a human being. And that´s what we all are, human beings.

Don't be afraid, i think there is always hope and light comes after the darkness.

Anyway I wish you all nice autumn and hope all the best to you whoever you are and where ever you are.

Take care of yourselves, Timo

The same for you.
Take care,

[crostrato]

Hay TIMO, , manz good wishis from CROATIA

[Holy Light]

Yes. Timo, you are the man. I really want your visions guitar. Email me about my project in the future if you can. I'm not sure if you got the email or not (maybe ). Hope you feel better and am ready to make new and exciting tunes as always. Metal!!! AAAHHH!!!~~~

I guess I should ask this question. Do you use your Mesa Distortion or G Force Distortion? My friends and I were wondering this. Talk to you later.

Thank you for answering our questions. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself. Everything else can wait. In the end, you will be a stronger, better person and the band will be mightier and more productive as a result. Take as long as you need--we all will be waiting. We will not desert you, or your music......always remember&have faith in that.
Love,
Sherry

[Beast_Pete]

The most important is your body and soul. After this comes the band. If you don't feel, that in time you will be as strong in mind or body, as before, than you shouldn't go on with Stratovarius. A band doesn't worth a human being's life. And we fans must accept it. We have received many good things (songs, concerts, thoughts etc) from you Stratoguys in the recent past.

(P.S: this doesn't mean, that I don't want Stratovarius to continue, it means, that I don't want it to make further problems, if it will)

[Michael^]

Im always glad to see band members posting, that was like a breath of fresh air

[Electric Eye]

It´s hard to explain, but I have learned more about life and especially about myself in the last 6 months that I have learned before that (in fact, I didn´t learn so much before that).

so it is possible... thanx for letting me know this....

[tkbdadsgshim]

Autumn greetings to you all from between the light and darkness.
I thought I camp out here for a while, questions can be asked too, if you wish.
But most importantly, may you all people have a very joyous and
magical Autumn.

Timo

IT'S REALLY NICE READ THAT YOU ARE OK , WE LOVE YOU TOLKKI TAKE CARE MAN , CHEEEEERSSSSS

[Ikola]

Hi Timo!
I loved your show at Gates of Metal this year. Before that i never had heard of Stratovarius, you shure did impress me alot. At the moment I only listens to Stratovarius and your wonderful music!

I hope that things turn out well for all of you, people shouldn't do things together if they can't get along. It's better to wait a while and see what's coming up. Maybe after a few years things have cleared up between you.

One last thing,

The autumn sure is a beutiful time of the year

[adrian9]

YEEEAHHHHH TIMO!!!

my best whishesssss to you man! you are a big inspiration to me, im a KITARISTI too, well adrian smith is also a big influence to me but since im a stratovarius fan ..the tolkki-guitar-stile haa been anexed to my stile ...yeahh im so glad to see what you write here, im nice to know that your ok and you going to be ALLL RIIGGGHHTT, take your time to relax, you have done so much for the music, for metal, for the fans, for band-mates, its time to do a littel for yourself, i mean, relax, sleep,eat,party, some fuck will be ok, and "enjoy life" like those "bon jovi" man says on the strato video.........

[browneyedgirl]

In this beautiful pic is how I choose to remember Tolkki.
Maybe in the darkness of Winter, but before the real darkness.





Now, hopefully in his Soul, it is light again.

I hope that finally you find a light on your life, with or without strato.
You are human, after all.
But i hope it is with Strato that you find, with Strato (Koti, Jari, Jens and Jorg and of course YOU).

I hope Goldenworks becomes one of the best studios for metal and stuff. You have talent to control it.
Maybe when my band gets better (we are seeking a 100% dedicated drummer), we reecord a demo and send to you to mix/edit it.

Best regards

Orion - Aces High Band (creative....)

wish you and the people who have problems to feel better and suggest that you and them all never give up fighting your struggle, and that you all try to be positice taking all that good things life can bring us and learning for the bad ones, and trying to overcome them! We are all human beings, who make mistakes and we must try to learn from them! But we are all human beings who can change in better, who can forgive and who can improve every day. Wish you and everybody to get it and to get the best life can give us. The most important news we want to hear it is you feel good

[stratohawk]

hey Timo! Great to hear something from you, a sign that you are still there. And we all will be patient - though our hearts are full of hopes.
Wish you all the best!!!!

[browneyedgirl]

TT is getting stronger every day.....like the Ancient Mariner, he will be afloat with us forever! I have faith that he will come back&give us fans a kick-ass Album that will knock our socks off!
As of right now, I hope he is resting up&enjoying life.....he deserves to!

[Beast_Pete]

Do you think, that there will be a any albums coming, that will knock down Visions from the first place? It would be a real big come back.

[shaz]

Do you think, that there will be a any albums coming, that will knock down Visions from the first place? It would be a real big come back.

I don't care if it knocks out Visions, as long as the new album comes.

I hope it does. Who wants a medium record?

Take care, Timo.

See ya!

[MaFiaBoY]

A kind of Intermission vol. 2 would be great. I WANT to hear this Beauty-Has-Come-stuff and why not some MissK-demos
