I never like sniffing the dirty laundry.

Ann-Marie, I respectfully disagree. I think he HAD to go into the details he had due to his recent history. If it was short and sweet, people would have thought Triple-T was off his meds again. But, it also showed something else.
I think Triple-T tried to part with the Strato name intact. But, if you read that TK and Jorg were running the shop, you would have seen that they would do nothing to keep it going. So, it looked like a similar issue that Phil Mogg had with Michael Schenker over the UFO name. Since Schenker was part owner of the name, he could object to the use of it. I am afraid the same thing happened here. Kotipelto and Michael refused to allow the Strato name to be used. And, since Porra is with TK, it meant Strato would have consisted of Triple-T and Jens Johansson.
Maybe it is for the best. The sad part is that Triple-T has to start all over again. What's worse is that Jens Johannsson lost his major band. I do not know if he will be part of Triple-T's new project. But, stranger things have happened.
It is a good thing that I saw Strato when I did.
Peace,
