Something supremely weird just happened recently. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=162040" rel="nofollow - http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=162040 Luca Turilli is returning to the original Rhapsody name with Patrice Guers and Dominique Leurquin. Alex Staropoli is continuing under the Rhapsody of Fire name with Fabio Lione and Tom Hess. Drummer Alex Holzwarth will appear in both projects. Guess the band pages might need to be separated again... -------------

Saw about this already. You'd think Luca would choose a more unique name for his version of the band. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Oh man that is so ridiculous and will probably warrant a seperation of the Rhapsody of Fire entry.
I think this sarcastic post from Blabbermouth says it pretty well:
Missing from the article excerpt is:
Fabio Lione has also decided to create a new band called Burning Rhapsody with everyone from Rhapsody Of Fire except Luca Turilli. Alex Staropoli has declared the forming of an original, new band called Enchanted Rhapsody with everyone from Rhapsody Of Fire except Tom Hess. Luca Turilli has promised to create a band called Rhapsody Face Of The Burning Elves with everyone except Alex Staropoli. And finally, everyone in Rhapsody of Fire decided to create a Rhapsody of Fire cover band called Rhapsody of The Burning Fire Flame and even hinted at recording some original material influenced by acts such as Luca Turilli's solo catalogue and Rhapsody of Fire. Now that�s what I call great humour  ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I would object to splitting the entry, because that would mean splitting up the albums which are part of the same saga. I'd sooner just add the new Rhapsody as a fresh entry and any new Rhapsody of Fire releases to the existing one. Though I guess we don't have to worry about that until the new Rhapsody actually releases something. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

My question is why doesn't Luca just release his music under his solo project? -------------

I was under the impression that the band initially changed their name because of copyright issues, so Luca using the Rhapsody name again is a bit confusing to me. I hope to God they didn�t change their name to Rhapsody of Fire because they felt it was a better name than simply Rhapsody. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I was always under the impression it was due to legal issue as well. No matter the case, evidently those legal issues are no longer a problem. My biggest worry about this split? They'll be two bands running around doing exactly the same thing, with neither really making anything of quality. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Also regarding the name, he could at least be considerate enough to call it Luca Turilli's Rhapsody if he has to have Rhapsody in the name, rather than reverting to the former name of Staropoli's version of the band. It's bound to generate confusion. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

In regard to the name and copyright issues, the original statement: "Due to copyright and trademark issues the band formerly known as Rhapsody has changed its name. The band members consider this a great new start, reflecting the emboldened and increasingly grandiose direction that their music has taken. �The power of the dragonflame will burn brighter than ever before,� says guitarist/songwriter Luca Turilli. Keyboardist/songwriter Alex Staropoli adds, �The name Rhapsody Of Fire better represents the energy that has always been present in this band and its music.� ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

This is pretty absurd. It's a shame considering I just got really into them this year.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |
