DESTINY ENDING THE SHOW???

WHAT A ....

BLACK DIAMOND IS CALLED TO BE THE LAST SONG ON EVERY STRATOVARIUS SHOW... THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THE SETLIST, BUT BLACK DIAMOND HAS TO BE THE LAST ONE...

TO ME, I DON´T CARE IF THEY PLAY FRIGHT NIGHT AND TWILIGHT TIME COMPLETE ALBUMS LIVE, BUT THE LAST SONG MUST BE BLACK DIAMOND...

(AS TK SAID IN BARCELONA... THIS IS NOT WHITE, BLUE, RED OR YELLOW... BUT IT´S

BLACK DIAMOND!!!!!

Does it really matter that much?

I've read all those comments... well, I won't give mine until I've seen them in a pair of weeks here in Italy but news aren't that good anyway. I hope they're not gonna be like "hey, I must do the job, I can't wait to go home"...

we shall see...

At least you WILL be fortunate enough to see them--you'll have that wonderful memory!

If I were you, I'd take lots of pics and treasure them!

sounds like these shows may go similar to piorno, which my wife and i were lucky enough to go to. they played well, concentrated on the task at hand, and put on a good show for us the fans. i really hope it continues as it would be tragic for anyone to experience anything less. hope to hear more good news

A guy in Koti's Forum claimed he talked to Tolkki and TT said that the 2 Timos had talked some and things looked better to a StratoReuniting!He said Tolkki felt better except he was very tired--that probably explains why he wasn't active on stage, and seemed reclusive from the others.

Yet, other people have said the 2 Timos were blantantly ignoring each other. But, they did not talk to Tolkki personally, so obviously they did not know the potentially good news. UNLESS, Tolkki was just trying to make things seem better than what they are to boost the fan's morale.
Which, is why I hope he releases a statement very soon!

Well, as seeing the excellent!!! gig in Tavastia, I could not feel any anger between the two Timos, it felt that there was... maybe confusion. After all that's been said, that's quite understandable still at this point. Maybe there is a light in the end of the tunnel...

Hi there,

I'm back from the show.
it was FUCKIN' AMAZING !!!!

I'm sorry, i'm way too tired to write a lot right now (i slept only 3 hours the past few nights), but all I can say is that the show was brilliant, Timo Tolkki is doing fine (eventhough he looks a bit tired because of the medecines) and for all the people who thinks that the band is dead, i can tell you : it's NOT true... There are still hope. This is not a rumour or supposition, it's an official info.

So fans, just keep the faith !!!

And I can tell one more thing :
Jens and Timo Kotipelto are both really great persons. And Timo Tolkki is really far from being what you have read everywhere. He is a REALLY sweet and nice person, with just some pbms to solve. I'm sure that the most part of pp who criticizes him had never met him (and probably never been to a Stratoshow), they just read the newspapers and believe rumours...
I know the guy personally for many years now, so if you think he is a bad person, you are wrong. really...

(aaaah, I still can't believe that Kotipelto pronounced my name during the show !!!!)

The guy in Koti's Forum? It was by a username caled Back Phoenix......it was on the KotiForum last night, anyway. I haven't been there today---I hope its not deleted because Black Phoenix posted a great pic of him with TT&Jari.

As for the comments about the 2 Timos ignoring each other, I saw a couple comments to that effect either in this thread or one of the others, I'll look later.
Whatever the case, I'm sure soon we will have an official statement to calm our fears&worries, and hopefully give us hope!:)

From an official informer : someone from the band. I can't tell more. Just KEEP THE FAITH !!!

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Tue May 25, 2004 5:42 pm

It's a big subject and I don't really want to talk about it, but the essential that I can say, is that right now I am REALLY happy that people in the band are doing fine, especially Timo Tolkki.

But what's the offcial thing? That there's still hope? So, nothing's 100% sure yet... but can we say more than 90% sure?

yep, exactly what I wanted to say... then why the "strato's dead" t-shirts at Tavastia?

As usual, odd things happen down here

It is just an ironic t-shirt to have fun of all the rumours that spread out recently. Nothing serious, really !!!
It's the same kind of joke as for the "What the fuck is going on tour" name... just jokes

Pretty amusing discussion here

I´m about 91% sure Strato is not going to play after the 3rd of July 2004. This is official, of course

I think Stratovarius will still play together at 72.56%, I think the weather will be really sunny on tomorrow at 51.45% and I think I am a guy at 96.54%

You are right. pretty amuzing stuff.
How can "people" be so sure about the future of the band, without even knowing any official information ?

browneyedgirl · Post by **browneyedgirl** » Wed May 26, 2004 4:21 am

With all the rumors that were started right here in the forum, I am NOT going to believe anything either way until Tolkki posts HIS official statement--even then,its going to be blind faith that I believe what HE says,given all that has happened the past few months!
