THE FINAL STATEMENT BY TIMO TOLKKI

So the real wisdom is: Accept the fact, face reality and buy both cds.

Or neither.

Yes, it´s the most fair alternative for fans to act in this situation.

Unfortunately that message was something that just Tolkki was able to deliver, no one in the band cares about that message anymore and that's what will make the new strato just a good power metal band with no message whatsoever

I totally disagree with that, Jens wrote one amazing song called glory of the world....yes, it's just one, but compared to Tolkki, is at the same level...He can do it!

Indeed, Glory of the World is a great song and it sure has the Strato-vibe (otherwise the song wouldn't be there) but what I'm saying is that Jens wrote that thinking of it as a Stratovarius song, being aware that Tolkki's songs uses this kind of lyrics, but I'm not totally sure if Jens would still write this kind of songs now that he has the freedom he has now Tolkki is gone, his solo material is very different from Glory of the World, so I think the new Stratovarius will be more likely to center in the Power Metal band rather than the lyrics, with most songs being composed by Kotipelto and Jens

As long no one writes something like Serenity it will be OK for me.

HOT DAYAM YOU ARE FUNNY!!! I'm convinced to swear off the band now, but continue to post on the band's forum. Maybe I'll take a multiple year hiatus then come back just to spite the loyal fans or something.
TEACH ME WISE MASTER!

Just the normal opinions/taste things, BEG maybe flavoured with humour. Nothing more special.

I'm tired to read "final" statements after "final statement" after "last" statement, after final,final, final... TT should let the other members live his lives as he want to live his life away from them. It's better to use his energy writing music. This will be the best thing for him as musician and for us as fans
