RockOverdose.gr recently conducted an interview with guitarist Timo Tolkki (SYMFONIA, ex-STRATOVARIUS). In the interview Tolkki talked about Greece, reveals his collaboration with a native female singer and more. Excerpts can be found below:
Rockoverdose.gr: New drummer along with a new album in February 2013 for Stratovarius. What are your thoughts about this?
Timo Tolkki: “I know him. He actually played the initial demos of Symfonia so I know him well. I don't think about Strato that much anymore. I left the band five years ago. I wish them well. Hard working guys. I love them and I do miss them. I wish we could one day do one more album and tour with the Visions line up, In five years or something. That would be really cool."
Rockoverdose.gr: Hope too! What happened to the new Credo album? Will we ever get to listen to those songs?
Timo Tolkki: “Well, the pledge thing turned out to be much more work than I anticipated but that was not the reason why I cancelled it.
Initially I was dealing with a very low number of people, maybe 400. That also was not the reason why I cancelled it but it made me think that maybe the system still has flaws in it. Credo or whatever it will be called, is something I hope I can release some day or maybe even after I have died.
It is very special music and I almost feel that I should not charge any money from it. I feel it is music that should just be given to those who want to hear it.”
