Stratovarius Community

I thought I let you know, that I uploaded some photos of Stratovarius from the Wacken gig (where Timo K. burned his hand) to www.sheol-magazine.com > go to "photos" and then down to "S" , if you wanna see them.
Here´s a little appetizer for you:

(the rest you gotta see yourself )

Kotipelto really looks like a warrior who didn't fear the pain in this show!!

Hehe... yeah! And as it is to see on the other photos (where he already has the burned hand) > he kept on singing in a brave way! Nothing could stop him!

Like my ex-teacher used to say: "Even if a Reindeer would run inside you keep on playing" That matches to Timo in singing

Being the fact I wasn't at Wacken, how did he burn his hand?

A pyro went off and he was in the wrong place. I think it was supposed to be somewere else, but it was changed to next to the drum riser at the last minute, and TK did not get told.

Ouch... there was a yucky pic of Timo's hand somewhere (one of Jens' galleries on his site I think).

He missed the first verse (Kiss of Judas?) and returned with a cold wet towel on his hand to sing the rest of the show, and an ambulance awated him when he got off stage.

No, it was "SOS"...

Yea he was putting a bottle of water on the drum riser or something and hadn't really absorbed the plans about last minute changes to pyros effect or something, then his hand got burned ....http://www.panix.com/~jens/w2k.par?timo ... #timokhand


... but of course had to keep singing
