wel gvd, tolki slaat door
I am in the process of talking seriously with each band member about the future of Stratovarius.
There are lots of rumours circling around and this statement is issued to clear some of those.
The band is in a severe crisis at the moment.
Looking back now, it is very clear to me why the situation has catapulted into crisis.
I have my own way to lead Stratovarius and since being in this band since 84 (almost 20 years) I have had a very clear vision about the musical direction of Strato. To put it short and simple, this is my band.
I decide what Stratovarius sounds like. Stylists might decide how Stratovarius looks like. I don't give a fuck about that though, I love music and we are not some fucking Backstreet Boys. We eat metal and shit chains.
Before some of you start shouting "dictator", I would like to tell you that we have always shared the income from the band equally. Everyone gets the same from all income. I can tell you many bands when it's not like this.
Up until very last weeks I though things were fine, there have been arguments, but nothing fancy. At this point I feel that my vision of where to take Stratovarius next is threatened. Along with many other things, which I cannot tell you due to legal reasons. Let me just say this: when the things get so heated that some people in the band enter into fistfight, then something is wrong, wouldn't you agree?
I am talking with Kotipelto and Kainulainen here in Finland at the moment and next week I fly to New York to talk to Johansson. Then I fly to Germany to talk to Michael. And then I have to think.
So you guys have to wait for some more time for some more news.
At this point it seems 95% sure that 3 bandmembers have to leave. I really hope I can work things out with them, but if not, then they will have to go.
And to those who say I should leave Stratovarius I say, hmmm well, perhaps it's better that I don't say anything, so I just say Fuck Off! I am not leaving anywhere, we just signed this new deal and I am going to continue writing new songs and there will be more albums, no matter what the line up will be.
Stay tuned for more...

na het lezen van dit stuk vind ik die tolkki toch wel een mooie lul, schuift de rest van de band zonder pardon ff aan de kant.
hufter, loopt nou ineens te doen alsof ie in z'n fakking eentje strato heeft gemaakt tot wat het is.
maar ik hoop op een win-win situatie, als kltipelto eruit wordt getrapt kan ie zich gaan richten op z'n solo werk, en tolki gaat gewoon door met strato. dat worden met een beetje geluk dus 2 goeie bands.

kerel is altijd al vreselijk arrogant bezig geweest...
noemde zich bijvoorbeeld ooit in een interview de meest begaafde en belangrijkste muzikant van Stratovarius...
misschien is het wel zo dat ie de meeste muziek schrijft... maar je blijft nog altijd een band...
en met z'n solo project heeft ie nog niet zo veel weten te presteren als met Stratovarius...die cd van hem...vond ik maar matig

Boeiend, Stratovarius is niet meer boeiend na Element Pt. 1 en dus interesseert het me weinig, misschien kunnen de bandleden een nieuwe wel boeiende groep oprichten.

ik hoop dat er iets vergelijkbaars gaat gebeuren als vorig jaar bij halloween, dus dat de overige leden van strato een soort masterplan op gaat richten.Dominion schreef:Dom, erg dom. Met name omdat toekomstige muzikanten van Stratovarius dus ongeveer nu weten wat ze van em kunnen verwachten in de toekomst.
tolki krijgt toch wel genoeg lui bij elkaar om stratovarius een succesvol vervolg te geven.
Sterf!

Nu ja...zoals Tolki nu bezig is...is het nog maar de vraag of er nog genoeg mensen samen met hem in een band willen spelen...

Waarschijnlijk zit er een heel verhaal achter, niet logisch dat een (volgens mij) goedlopende band opeens door een akkefietje twee bandleden verliest.

STRATOVARIUS guitarist Timo Tolkki has posted the following message on the band's official web site:
"After speaking with all the band members I am now travelling to Berlin to talk with the Sanctuary team about the future of STRATOVARIUS.
"At this point I cannot say more about the situation. I am very sorry if my statements have offended someone. I have been under heavy pressure lately and my therapist has prescribed me some heavy antidepressants. They make it even more difficult for me to control my temper.
"I have received death threats, which has forced me to hire 2 bodyguards. They are both former military people with martial arts training. This is sad really, but what can you do?
"Anyway, I apologize once more if I have offended anyone with my comments. I hope you understand what kind of pressure we all are living in at the moment.
"I would like to say that things are not always what they seem. The music world can be very frustrating, largely due to legal and business matters. I hope I can tell you some news after returning from Berlin."
dat hoop ik idd ook ja...

zonder tolkki geen Stratovarius, maar een andere band, met andere muziek.

Ach... zo boeiend vind ik ze nou ook weer niet, laat ze maar lekker uit elkaar gaan en apart heerschendere bands oprichten
