Yeah.. news will come when/if they come. We just have to sit back, and wait. :)

It doesn´t make sense, unfortunately. Timo Tolkki has a studio right here in Helsinki, why whould they all go to America.. ?

May be Anders Johanson was drunk like someone suggested :)
or maybe they decided to go commercial like their finn friends...let´s wait for stratonemo!

:lol: We can always hope for the best, but it's true that Tolkki said Strato is "on ice" right now. I'm doubtful anything is happening... if something is, then I'd be overjoyed. :D

Ok, here is the exact words from the Greek Metal Hammer:

[...]As we were on the road, Anders Johansson dropped the second bomb: his brother, the keyboardist of the broken up Stratovarius, Jens Johansson, these days, is at New York, where he's recording with Tolkki/Kotipelto/Kainulainen the new album of Stratovarius![...]

In my opinion, Anders (no matter how "crazy" he seems to be) is a professional musician and a reasonable person. He couldn't have lied. Since he said that this must be true (except he lied but I don't believe so). Now, there are many "whys' about the place. There can be many reasons that we are not able to know and some we can only imagine :roll:
Some of them would be that thing with the explosions someone mentioned. Another one would be that they don't want to let news go out yet cause maybe nothing is sure. Or they might want to work silently away from all that interest of the fans. Or for contract reasons...or...or...
Those reasons are only what I have to my mind (my imagination in other words) so I may be completely mistaken.

But what's for sure (in my opinion) is that what Anders said is true. :mrgreen:

I think there's one "BIG" why though...

If Jens hasn't announced it, and nor have any other members of Strato.. then why did Anders do it? The fans shouldn't know about it through Anders, but through Jens.

It's possible that it slipped, but... it's weird :roll:

It did slip! Anders didn't make a statement neither was asked about that. This piece of news slipped away while the reporters and Anders (I think there was also Cans) were on the way to somewhere.

That text appears in the intro of the interview where the journalist writtes about how they got to the place for the interview and such stuff. So as they were on the road (in the middle of a discusion probably) Anders said that.

Assuming it's true... I'm guessing they are using the drum tracks he put down awhile back with Jens while Tolkki was not around.

If it is true, there is one thing...Drums lines are actually recorded...When there were fights in Stratovarius, Jorg was the only, who was siting in the recording studio and recorded...

btw. I wrote e-mail to Anders Johansson : o) I konw, that he ansver me. And I asked him about his worlds in the magazine...I hope, that he tell me, that it is true...

I think the reason lies in the guys wanting to keep the fans and the media off their backs in order to ensure complete freedom of concentration.
This is just my opinion, but at least it makes perfect sense to me. I dunno about you people. Let's keep the hopes up.

Thank you so much for setting us straight so we won't get our hopes TOO high&get disappointed. That is good news--Jens&Jorg were both on top of things. Were they not together working&recording earlier this year, if I recall correctly? Is Anders referring to THAT work?
I so hope that eventually there will be another Stratovarius CD for us to listen to!

Is THIS the work Anders meant???

stratonemo :mrgreen: hard to imagine . if the music ist composed by TT i don't think there comes anything out only for earning money. all the music he has written comes from his heart and why should it be not so this time?

Of course, it won't make a Stratonemo, but the thing, what makes them to play again, at least one reason is, that they have a contract.

Agree as well. The fact is, we have no actual word from the band itself, and we must have that in order to consider the news truthful. :wink:

So true. Maybe some "metal magazines" or tabloid can figure out the actual situation before the band says anything :wink:
