Stratovarius: "Tolkki's main motivation was greed."

[1928]

A statement from the rest of the band about the Stratovarius breakup. This is getting interesting... I wonder if Tolkki's going to have a rebuttal?

I think he already has in the forum. http://strato.jens.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8593&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
This is just speculation and gossip now though really, the facts of the matter are that Timo Tolki is releasing the 'would-be' new strato album as Revolution Renaissance and the rest of the guys seem like they will continue in one form or another.

It's a shame it had to end this way really. Stratovarius without Tolkki just won't be Stratovarius.

Oh wow that's a good link, thanks for the heads-up! And yea I agree, it's just not Stratovarius without Tolkki... then again, I was more a fan of JJ and TK than him, anyway...

All this dramatic bullshit from Stratovarius is pathetic. Grown men? It makes you wonder sometimes.

It's just handbags. And in some sense to be expected if we're honest.

 

[PowerMetalJesus]

I never liked Timo anyway so this is good news for me

I haven't had faith in Tolkki since day 1 with this split. I'm glad the others will still make music together cos that's a big "fuck you" to him because he seems to think he's irreplaceable.

The 'Final' statement from Timo on the Stratovarius split and the rest of the bands statement.
He certainly wants to reinforce his innocence
As said before, this is all just handbags. i think it will be the last statment because it's so long!!

The RR album isn't even that good. 2 or 3 good tracks, the rest utterly forgettable.
