Timo Kotipelto

[Goreripper]

has been kicked out of Stratovarius. Maybe now they'll get a singer who can stay on-key.

 

[Spiff]

And Jorg Michael's been given the boot too, hasn't he?

I really like Stratovarius but they get real old real fast. Their DVD is good though.

 

[MeKaChrOme]

yeh, theyre pretty repetitive... didnt expect that though, i thought from all their releases that they were fairly stable

 

[Goreripper]

Yep, Jorg's gone too. Apparently Timo Tolkki had a spaz attack about the direction the band was going in (ie. moving up and down on the one spot, if you ask me), and decided some changes were in order.

 

[Spiff]

And there were fisticuffs too!

 

[Goreripper]

That would have been funny.

 

[Penelope]

They've just signed the biggest deal ever for a Finnish band, 3 Million US dollars, and then they fall apart. Tolkki seems to be a bit of a diva, and they really won't be the same without Kotipelto's vocals. I hope they can replace him with someone decent and hold it together. Apparently Tolkki has been talking to a German vocalist. Maybe it's Dirk Thurisch. Now that would be cool.

 

[Cyclonus]

My cousin will be angry.

I really don't care... I didn't mind Timo, but a replacement wont really bother me.

Imagine a fist fight between power metallers. Its Lord Of The Rings all over again!

 

[Sydo]

I bet they hire Ripper.

 

[spawn]

Then Jon can get Matt back! It was all a misunderstanding!

 

[Sydo]

Matt is a geek.

 

[Spiff]

Even Koichi is more metal than Matt is!

 

[spawn]

I mean Matt Barlow!

 

[Spiff]

Ah, I thought you meant Matt Damon.

 

[spawn]

No, can understand the error though.

 

[Spiff]

Matt Damon is pretty metal though.

 

[spawn]

No he isnt!

 

[Spiff]

Listen to Something Wicked and tell me he's not metal!

 

[spawn]

I thought he was better in that stupid movie with Robin Williams! Teaching Mr Goodwill or whatever it was.
