Is the name "Stratovarius" needed so badly to make money? I wasn't afraid to start from scratch, why should they? Why all the secrecy? To be honest, I think they are getting a bit desperate.
As far as I remember, here I wrote something like this:
I don't know who is getting desperate, but I've heard some wiser than me saying that "explanations are for losers"
Money, money, money... How about a rock'n'roll and having some fun with your friends?
You really think they would even get a record deal as "Stratovarius" when they tell that I am not in it?
To sum it up, IF they continue as Stratovarius, then it will be like this: You take Coldness and Last Viking and put Stratovarius logo over it. If that is Stratovarius music and its ideology and its message for you, then that is okay with me.
Here I asked TT that does he really disrespect the other guys musical talent that much and does he really believes that the remaining members won't have "enough name" in the music industry. I also told my personal opinion that most of the Strato -fans won't listen Strato cause of it's "ideology", they are listening cause it's catchy melodies and cause they're getting good vibes from its music. I also asked that is/was Stratovarius somekind of ideology or religion.
I also asked what is the ideology behind the lyrics that TK and Jens have written.
Also they don't tell you everything what is going on behind the scenes. Especially why Lauri Porra's name was not in my "Judas" statement (which didnt contain dollar signs unlike the picture on jens.strato.com) and why it is not in their "thank you" statement....you'll get to know pretty soon.
Here I said that Lauri is TK's personal buddy and it's 100% sure that he is in if Strato launches out something in the future.
Raziel, you have to understand that these guys betrayed me big time and from all the people, Jens Johansson the most. He acted as my friend for 6 months to get information of what I do and then
they published that Tolkki is greedy Faust statement.
Here I asked, that have he ever thought that the other guys might have felt betrayed cause TT decided to quit Stratovarius.
I also asked, that have he ever thought that the other guys really loved playing in Strato and wanted to continue it's career.
You also have to understand that I have been constantly active during these 2 years making music and now forming a new band, going to studio and doing a world tour. What have the others been doing?
Here I answered something like this:
Maybe they waited that Strato would finish the recordings of that famous R.... R.... -album and the following tour?
In the end I said that I'm not hating anyone and I also wished some good luck to TT with his new band and promised to buy next RR -album and follow how their story continues in the future with great interest.
That RR -forum is like Lenin's Soviet Union. It's marketing its ideology to the sheeps with nice words and peace, but if you dare to open your mouth and say something that is "not - so - nice - to - hear" to its leader, you'll get vanished.
And TT, I know that you're reading this. I still thank you for the great songs and wish you all the best in the future
