Stratovarius breaking up

2008-04-07T22:12:00.001+08:00

"Dear Stratovarius Fans,

"It is time to stop the silence and announce what some of you have already been speculating. Stratovarius is no more.

"Last October I told the guys that I am stopping the band and told them the reasons why. This letter is addressed to you, Stratovarius fans, who have supported the band for so many years. I first thought that I would write just a very generelized, typical "music business" statement that basically never says anything. Then I decided that you deserve to hear at least parts of the truth what has been going on behind the scenes so you will be able to understand my decision better.

"All the time, since TK and Jörg joined the band, there have been tensions and negativity flying around. This has been concentrating on me, TK and Jörg. The reasons Jari Kainulainen was fired some years back were so absurd that I am not even try to explain them here. If I write a book one day, maybe then. Anyways, I think the seeds were planted already back then, something like 12 years ago. There were many confrontations, Jörg has been complaining to me about TK and TK complaining to me about Jörg. At a times it was a mess, although of course, it never would show outside to the fans. It is not my intention to disrespect TK and Jörg here. They are both fundamentally good guys. Things just sometimes happen and relationships go to directions we don't want them to go. It's like a divorce, nobody wants it to happen but sometimes it is best for all so everyone can continue their own lives. Plus I want to tell how things have been behind the curtains. You always only see the good side anyway, you don't really know what is going on."

-Timo Tolkki, guitars.

Yang is sad.

ROCKUP 2008

2008-04-06T10:12:00.002+08:00

"Rock Up! is a fundraising event that uses the influence of music to make a change in the lives of others. The event includes a concert where musicians, singers, dancers and celebrities come together to highlight the plight of the Agathians Shelter Home. The Home is currently raising funds for the construction of their new residence and is in need of RM350,000 to complete the construction of their new residence. However this fundraising event will be aiming to raise at least RM100,000 in order for the home to begin construction work.

This event, “Rock up” means to be present, and by using that, we are asking the public to show up and be present at the event to make a change in the lives of these children.

We are hosting a charity event at The Curve on the 9th of May, 2008.

Raffle tickets will be sold before and during the event itself, and buyers will stand a chance to win the 16 prizes on offer. In line with the event’s tagline “Music to Change”, the event will feature musical and dance performances from the children of Agathians Shelter, Diplomats of Drum, Furniture, Junji Delfino and many others. It will also feature a celebrity fashion show where the clothes worn by the models will be sold in an auction."
