btw, I'm sorry about the mistakes, but I translated it really fast.
I was reading an online brazilian magazine right now and check this out: Jörg tells WHY has Jari left the band, and what he said doesn't impress me at all. And to be totally honest, it's all that me and a lot of other fans have always thought.
"Jorg talks about Jari leaving Stratovarius
After the name of Lauri Porra being confirmed as the new Stratovarius bass player, the editorial staff of Rock Brigade magazine contacted the drummer Jörg Michael to talk about the changes. “The truth is that Jari had another priorities, he never got as engaged with the band as the other members. I get sad, because me and him formed together a hell of a kitchen, even though, he wasn’t really interested in develop something bigger with the band. He was in the gigs, in the pics, in the recording sections, but he never showed he was really interested in Stratovarius. Do you believe that the guy has been there for 10 years and I never went to his house?”, said Jörg Micheal, exclusively to Rock Brigade. “And his departure has nothing to do with the other band problems. Stratovarius has never been his priority, he never got involved in the process of creating songs and with the creative development of the band. Now, he’s married and the family became more important than everything. As the result, we’ll follow different ways”. Stratovarius is coming to Brazil with the new line up in august. And the new bass player Lauri Porra has already been warned that his last name will cause a lot of dirty jokes here. And he’s ready for them!"
They're making fun about Lauri's last name because here in Brazil Porra means sperm

But he already knew it! Last time he was here we already made some jokes about it.

I don’t think most of you can read portuguese, though.
