Now that he's out of Strato...how about Kotipelto for Progpower 5?

[Yngvai X]

I think he'd make an awsome headliner. Especially if he got Romeo to sit in with his band for it. Something tells me it was not Kotipelto's decision to turn down Strato's offer for PP4...

Kotipelto to headline PP V??? I don't know about that; let's be honest, Stratovarius made him, he did not make Stratovarius. I do agree that it was obviously Tollki who turned down the offer for PP 4, assuming there was an offer to begin with. Actually, it is his decision as Strat is his band.

I would suggest that Strato still play with Timo's replacement: Michael Kiske.

Whoah...


...things really did stir up... crazy.

I dunno. I'm really gonna catch fire for this one, but as good as Koti's voice and range is, his solo material wasn't something that stirred me up and made me start scouring for CD's like, say, Tobias Sammet's Avantasia project, or the Demons & Wizards project. Even though it would be cool to see Romeo and Timo tag-team a stage, they would still not justify a headlining position.

Still wanna see many other bands instead.

headline??? i think he would be a 2nd band, max

 

[MetalIcarus]

Agree with you DrBell

 

[Creeps]

that Kotipelto album wasn't all that good at all.. I was kinda disappointed in it. I think I've listened to it twice.

Headliner.. not my vote. Maybe an opener or 2nd slot.

 

[alexofbodom]

No thanks! I would much rather see Lost Horizon or Nocturnal Rites as a 2nd slot band.

uhhhh Kiske is NOT JOINING STRATOVARIUS!!!! jeez, some people really have wishful thinking

 

[pyramazekeyboardist]

wouldnt he have to bring along other people from the different bands he borrowed from? like janne warmen for example?
