RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
I heard from quite reliable sources that the guitar player who's going to play with TK, JJ, JM and LP is this 25-year old guy from Helsinki:

Mape Ollila and Nalle Österman are also speaking about the same guy at metalsite imperiumi.net, so...
By the way, who might be playing keys at the song "Bad Time Boogie" ? There's something very familiar...

According to "Solo 66" and especially "54" he sounds quit a lot like John Petrucci. Not bad at all.
Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Best guess would be his brother, Risto Kupiainen.Raven wrote:By the way, who might be playing keys at the song "Bad Time Boogie" ? There's something very familiar...

The titles are also... so progressive =)Mormegil wrote:According to "Solo 66" and especially "54" he sounds quit a lot like John Petrucci. Not bad at all.
Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
I hope the new guitarist is going to be more the type of power metal than another style

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
No Tuomas... That would be worst case scenario imo because then there is almost band of Kotipelto... except Jörg, he haven't been in Kotipelto's band so only he is new in that band...black death wrote:I still hope for Tuomas

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Matias is a very technical and fresh guitarist, would be a great choice for duets with JJ and for a renewed and more inspiring Strato-sound (of course still neoclassical-power metal, but not repetitive as last 2-3 Strato albums and RR’s New Era...).
Let's wait and see...

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
well, I'll check the videos at home later, but whoever he is... i hope he can go well and replace TT nicely!
Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Well I've heard this guy playing, and I think he can at least match Jens' solos would be very interesting choice indeed. A very talented player.

I thought Elias would be happy enough in Sonata Arctica... unless Jani makes a return.StratoTimo wrote: He is... Can I proudly peresent: Elias Viljanen

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Maybe Jani Liimatainen could replace Tolkki...
Toutes choses étant égales, par ailleurs, la solution la plus simple est toujours la meilleure.

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
I think Matias Kupiainen is the one
Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Brilliant guitar player. He reminds me a lot of Elias Viljanen.
And yes, he's the one...

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
great choice I'm sure he'll fit in nicely

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Well, I don't know him so I can't say anything. I will listen some of the songs in his myspace...It's very young. Let's hope something good about all this.
If all you say it's a very good player... You say similar to Petrucci? That is damn good, but remember, Stratovarius it is not DT... So, he can fit perfectly? I need to know more about that guitar player. Anyway, are you sure this is the chosen one?

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
They say he's the one...I really don't know ...anyway this guy won the finnish "guitar heroes competition" in 2007. Here is the "Guitar Heroes" album with mp3 clips, in which (1st song) he played -between others- with Tolkki:RazielSR wrote:I need to know more about that guitar player.

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
He seems to be good. Petrucci style quite much, but it can be fit into Strato style and the new albums could have a new way.

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Elias Viljanen and Antti Wirman would be great. Elias Viljanen is in Sonata Arctica, but Antti Wirman isn't in Wirman anymore so he could be a good choice.
Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
Antti is still in Warmen but they have done only three gigs and as most of us already know, his brother Janne plays keyboards in Children of Bodom and COB is touring, so Warmen isn't very active. But he would still be a good choice because also Lauri plays in Warmen and in the interview they said that Lauri knew the new guitarist before and Antti is also young(born in '82)HungryWolf wrote:Antti Wirman isn't in Wirman anymore so he could be a good choice.

Re: RUMOR: Stratovarius's new guitar player
If Jani would join strato it would be epic as hell, however I highly doubt it... And to be honest I wouldn't be that glad if that I-name-every-other-song-something-with-boogie-dude is the new guitarplayer, last time I checked there was no boogie in Power Metal!
