Matias Kupiainen: takes the stratovarious crown

News:
18-10-2008:
Wooah, some big news from Matias Kupiainen, he managed to get the top slot in the revamped Stratovarious taking voer from Timmo Tolkki. The band posted a two-and-a-half-minute video blog featuring footage from the writing/recording sessions for the new STRATOVARIUS album.



Lord knows why Matias Kupiainen didn't get short listed for the guitar idol final... no doubt judges will be regretting this... Hopefully Risto Kupiainen the super keyboard whizz will have another guitarist lined up for his CD.

I missed this but blabbermouth spotted:
In an August 2008 online posting, Jens Johansson stated about the 25-year-old Kupiainen, "He was the only guy we even considered seriously." He also confirmed that the group had "over 15 songs written and demoed already, but probably not all of these will make it to the actual album. . . We are very happy with the material, the direction, and the general vibe in the band."
