This is, indeed, great news. Especially if they're in a sauna. It is indeed grand news. I only hope that this news will bring greater news. :D

A meeting is just a sign of how BIG are those guys...
It's an amazing victory, just because they are ALL mature and human.

If could be the "TO BE" answer, let's party;
If it couldn't be, fans can know that STRATOVARIUS spirit can live in our heart... and also in ALL MEMBER of this GREAT BAND!!!

Now I am a little bit happy, they understand that they are human, then they can be in wrong, so let MEET and TALK to know our wrongs... and grow up by our wrongs; Isn't it the best to grow up in life?

Very THANKS to STRATOVARIUS, and Congratulations for the decision!!!

P.S.: I hope the answer be "TO BE" Stratovarius again... 8)

I don't know/care what they talked about at the meeting, but I can tell you this:
Finnish people talk a lot easier in the sauna. It kinda loosens up your mind.
So.. let's hope for the best. :)

I don't want to be the bad ass here, but please calm down a bit:

The fact that Stratovarius are meeting again is really great, 10 months ago no one would have believed that TT and TK would be in one room together just once more in their life. And now - a complete bandmeeting! That's indeed great news!!

But please don't forget: There was bad blood and fighting one year ago, nasty insultings and statements like "I'll never play in a band with Timo xxx again in this life". There was and partly probably still is TTs illness, which we all shouldn't forget - let us be patient with him. He surely needs time.

This meeting is a big leap forward. But remember: It could also be a leap towards the final end of Stratovarius. An end without fighting, an end with friendly words and handshaking, but without a comeback.

So stay realistic and be careful with saying "yeah, I knew it, they'll be back, it was clear from the beginning" and so on.

Let's hope, let's pray, and be prepared to accept their decision, although it's still possible that they will declare the official end of Stratovarius.


But never lose hope - this news indeed is great. Maybe one day Stratovarius will be back... Guys, I'm f***ing excited!

thats a pitty...It was great chance!!!

All stratovaius in one wery hot and small place...somebody could lock them in it : o)) And sad "No new album, no way out" : o))))))) And if new album, that we want one year long tour :o))))


btw. I hope too...but I think...Tmo Tolki can never live without his music, becouse music is his live...and if Stratovarius die, I know, that there will be some beter band, or project, or solo work...Becouse Timo Tolki and music...that´s the same world...

Great post, Stratohawk--that is what I am saying, too! It is wonderful that the guys are getting along better&that is a celebration in itself. Even IF Strato ends, all the guys are talented&love music, so they will continue their creative ventures for us to enjoy!
And we have our StratoCDs, videos&concert memories to keep them alive in our heart.

After saying all that, I hope they do decide to record those last 3 albums as was originally planned, and the worldwide tour. Alot of us are NOT ready to say goodbye to Stratovarius. Not just yet. :~(
