LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Funniest thing I've ever heard. Listen, Tolkkiholic, the guy you claim to be caring with his fans is a good musician and composer, but not what I'd call "a good, caring person".
You ever been close to him?
I'll tell you my experience. I met the band in 2005, when they visited Monterrey for their "Black Album" tour. I talked to them a bit and got my album and shirt signed by all of the band members, except Tolkki, from which the only words I heard were "Sorry, I don't want to, I didnt come here to please anyone".
Then you have the publicity stunt by which Kotipelto and Jörg left the band.
Is that what you call caring about the fans? Kotipelto didn't want to do that, as Tolkki himself has said.
That's honesty, dude.
And there you have the time when Tolkki claimed to have been stabbed by a fan in Spain which was also a lie...
You seem to be sure that Symfonia is destined to carry on with the Strato Legacy when you haven't even listened to anything of their stuff and have come to this forum treaten us all like children, insulting some of the guys here when you don't even have an idea about of what we do or how old we are.
On the other hand, as I told you, Matos and Kusch won't be in the band to please Tolkki, that you can be sure about
Now, about comparing Kotipelto's voice with Kiske's, like you did in another topic. Sorry, but how many shows has Kiske sung at in the last 15 years? How many full albums has he recorded in the same amount of time? It's obvious that his voice has remained better cared than Timo's. And still, I highly doubt Michael could sing Eagle fly free or March of Time these days like he once did, in fact, a friend from Switzerland went to see him with Avantasia a few days ago and he told me it was pityful to listen to him trying to sing Shelter From the Rain...
And he is a great singer, like Kotipelto is... and we're all allowed to have our good and bad days.
You should be posting more on Symfonia's forum. From what you say they deserve more than the 242 posts then have there
And I have nothing against them, I'm a big fan of Matos, Kusch, Harkin and Kainulainen... and still enjoy a lot what Tolkki has done for metal music.
Hope they give us an excelent album.
But you, in my opinion, you're just a joke...
Respect to everyone here
