Stratovarius' new vocalist is a schladie!?

[Flatulor]

i have yet to hear this new vocalist and decide for myself if the band has gone to the badger patch. i mean, kotipelto was an amazing vocalist and gave the band a great sound. but what really angers me is that they are replacing him with something that sounds nothing like him. who knows, it might be good, but then again it might suck ass. i am also infuriated by the fact that their awesome drummer has left as well. those two were pretty much the backbone and heart of the band. sure the guitarist and keyboardist kick ass, but without Jörg and timo it just wont be the same =\.
