<font color=969696>Statement from Timo Tolkki regarding the departure of Anders Johansson:
"He gave me a call and said that he doesnīt want to join the band permanently and that he is happy to be in Hammerfall playing True Metal.
Since I am looking for a permanent member, we agreed in good spirits to go separate ways.
I am very disappointed that he didnīt want to join STRATOVARIUS permanently, but at the same time I wish him and the Hammerfall guys well and best of luck with their career.
I suspect that the decision of Anders has something to do with my reputation. I can understand him very well, I wouldnīt join a band in which I would be playing in.
I have already contacted a Finnish drummer and I hope I can announce his name very soon."
-----
He wasn't even in the band for a week. I hope Stratovarius fails miserably. :y:</font>
