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...

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!

Not THAT pic, but I have the link to the one made on stage. Do you want it? Tell me&I will send you a PM!

I can't get links to alot of those pics in Koti's forum either. They scramble the direct links somehow,and I am so computer illiterate I can't deciper them!

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...

BEG, in what thread was this comment? I couldn´t find it...

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!:)

The free T - Shirt doesn't give me much faith, but anything can happen.

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?

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

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!
