Stratovarius: is Timo Tolkki attack just a fake to get out of the deal with Sanctuary?
Added Friday, March 05, 2004 Metal Meltdown Online's Doctor Metal has published the reasons why he thinks that the attack to Timo Tolkki is false:
"I had thought the attack on Tolkki in Spain was 100% real. I guess I was so taken by surprise that I didn't even think twice and consider that the man's credibility these days is pretty low. After considering everything throughout the day on Monday, I came to the conclusion that many visitors of this site did on the Forum - that this "attack" is probably just another Tolkki publicity stunt. I came to this conclusion after looking at those post-attack pictures and considering the big, goofy bandages on his eye and arm. Did one of the other patients wrap these up for him? I can't imagine a real doctor doing that kind of work for a black/swollen eye. As someone basically said, it looks like some toilet paper and tape holding that together. What doctor would treat the arm and eye the same way? The pictures have fake written all over them. Or it's a cover-up for injuries Tolkki sustained some other way, either from his own actions or getting into a fight with someone."
