He's good (an obvious clone), but Stratovarius is a mess and has been for years. I suspect he's joined a sinking ship.
On a related note, I wish Vai would make a decent record. The last good one was Fire Garden, (first half, not the part with his vocals).

Strato is a mess because Tolkki is a bigger mental case than Britney. With him gone, so is the insanity.
Whether they can pick up the slack on song writing is another issue.
