I thought they broke up too. And I thought Tolkki ended up getting the rights to the Stratovarius name. I guess not.

Noooooo... Why him?! I've seen him perform live a couple of times and sure he can play, but I doubt his creativity.

Because Timo Tolkki was ever so creative with his own solos...

Initially they did, but at the end of May then Timo Tolkki's waived his rights to the name Stratovarius to the rest of the band members [ more info here].

Hmm.. I don't know this guitarist. to me Stratovarius was Timo Tolkki's music backed up by the sound the rest of the lineup gave him. So i don't see this as being another strato album but then again neither is RR. Hopefully both projects don't sound like a bad version of stratovarius that is just missing something but with the last album this seems possible..
and TT was creative. great songwriter and i think he still has one of the most unique styles

I think it was better for them to try Jani Liimatainen.

The story of this band doesn't really fit a power metal band... now it's just getting hilarious, I was sure they broke up aswell
Anybody knows what the new guy has been working with before? (too lazy to check out his myspace)

For those who keep talking about Strato's breaking up, let there be known that there's quite a chanche that this line-up here won't be keeping the old name.
But it is quite hilarious when you read all the statements of Timo K and Timo T about each other.

I think it's better for everyone that Stratovarius keep playing, the only thing it's to trust in this new guitarist that sounds quite good in that video, and wait until the new work of the group. Maybe Tolkki was an awesome creator and guitar player, but his relationship with the other members made him dispensable.

y'all saying that you thought they broke up and a lot of bad things but before you did that you'd had look into their official myspace sites so you would understand what happened......i love tolkki but this would make them to have more creativity even if the songs aren't better from the strato albums but remember that tolkki used to write everything about strato and the other guys only colaborate in a few songs....hopefully everything will be ok for both sides!!!

What the hell is going on? I don't like this sort of music, but was quite shocked to hear they had split up. But I'm not quite sure which shock is worse, hearing they broke up or that they got back together.

and i just remembered something.....i don't think they're going to continue with the stratovarius name 'cos in timo tolkki's myspace he tells that he is going to do a last strato album...but is going to be a re-issue album with anti ikkonen and toumo lassila so that's why i don't think that...but on the other side he sent jorg, jens and tk a letter saying that strato rights belong to them...so i dunno what the fuck will happen but i like them so i will support and still buy the two sides stuff

i strongly agree, it's like more of a joke than a band is it? Tolkki's music/Stratovarius' music will remain as Tolkki's. Why don't they change their Band name? or is it the name stratovarius will give them truckloads of money right? right!
