I wonder if he'll ask Renato Tribuzy to guest on it, seeing as how Ralf guested on his Execution album (which is AWESOME BTW)

I am happy to hear this but if he wants to do a solo album why not break the ties with Sinner, Koehler and Bauerfeind and really try something new and different... Work with some different people and really spread his wings...the guy has so much untapped potential... just my 3 cents...

Thank you.
I never understood solo albums that pretty much sound the same as the band you are already in. Furthermore, those where the "guest" musicians are pretty much folks from the same mold.
Hey, to each his own, but in all honesty, it seems like a huge waste of money for the label.
Not really, considering Primal Fear's large fanbase (speaking worldwide), this is a no-brainer sure thing for the label. But I understand your point about trying something more original.

Well, I have never checked up on these things, but I can't imagine that sales of Cans, Luca Turilli, Warmen, Kotipelto (SP???), etc. even come to 25% of the sales of each person's respective band. Add to the fact that those releases differ VERY little from the bands they are already in.
Sorry, for the most part, these seem like a waste of time. The artists say they do it to expand a bit and break away. For the most part, the album ends up sounding as exactly what you would expect, as they need to to ensure sales. Therefore, the original purpose ends up being defeated.
I know few may agree, but that is my take on it.

Well, those aren't really good examples, because in the cases you listed the singers wanted something not too far off from what their own bands were doing, but wanted to explore an aspect of the sound that they probably couldn't get away with or that fellow band members resisted.
I mean, if the Cans album had been a Hammerfall album I can't see it going over very well because the album is much darker and slower. The Luca Turilli albums are symphonic fantasy metal, but that's where the similarities to Rhapsody end. The first one may have been similar, but the second was a space opera with a more futuristic sound and the latest one was um, something.

And Kotipelto, geez, that's mostly a very bad attempt at simplistic classic 80s metal. Those albums are leagues below Stratovarius' weakest albums in terms of song quality.
