So what do you think about this guy? Jani Liimatainen from Finland, his influences include Pantera and dream theater. He's a former Sonata Arctica member and was one of the founders. I think he now plays in a Finnish band called Sydänpuu(Hearttree).

Jani has been a favorite of mine for many years, I was so sad when i heard he left Sonata Arctica, his sense of melody is unparalled, and his technique is perfect!!

QUOTE (Tuubsu @ Feb 25 2008, 08:59 PM)  I actually tried to search on the matter and I could not find a clear stating why but, I got the picture something like this: In Finland military service is mandatory, if you don't wanna go to military service you can go to civil service and if you refuse to go to any of those you go to jail for I think 6 months... So if I understood correctly Jani went to do his Civil service but, bailed out in the middle of it and was ordered to be arrested... And some say the band couldn't deal with that and kicked him out...  This is just the picture I have got, so if someone knows for sure then please correct me.... That's about the same story I heard -------------------- Gear:

That's a really unusual story....and to be honest that is like the most ridiculous reason to kick a band member i ever heard

No one knows if its true though, And i agree, it is a stupid reason.

because I have my own opinions on that matter and will choose between civil service and jail...

I think that they kicked him out because Jani couldn't come to gigs and play live because all of this hassle that he needed to finish the civil service or military (which if I am correct was his own fault because he had delayed it for so long) and they needed to continue touring/gigging so they had to get someone to play guitar
I don't know if this is true but the picture that I got was something like this -------------------- Gear:
