баси геройското...

баси геройското...

Защо сложи "ро"?!

Иначе Edguy са си Edguy, но тези обложки...

[Mort]

Мен обложките ме кефят, но някои метъли хумурът в музиката им се вижда кофти - техен проблем. Вярно обложката представя албума, но в крайна сметка музиката е важна, а това са Еdguy все пак, а при тях няма лабаво. Аз ще си взема и двете неща

[feather]

Инфото е яко - дано да оправдае очакванията. Мисля, че ще си заслужава, бандата не е случайна.

Eй, как ме е яд, че не мога да ги чуя веднага. За съжаление тук в работата на компа ми няма колони . Бързо сваляйте, че искам мнения

[feather]

За първи път няма да сваля нещо подобно, а ще си го купя като излезе...

Ей, направо ще ти вдигнем паметник - железно търпение , аз дори на Nightwish не можах да се сдържа и чух веднъж (е само веднъж де, но все пак...) промото преди да си взема диска.

[Mort]

Яки са песничките, колкото повече ги слушам, толкова повече им се кефя. Малко са по-лекички дори за сингъл на Edguy, но да се надяваме че в албума ще има тресни като Mysteria например...

Новото EP до голяма степен е в духа на предходното такова - "King Of Fools". Весела работа, много ме радва. И аз се надявам албумът да е порядъчно силен.

Явно се заформя някаква традиция по отношение на синглите им. Дано ако наистина след "смешен" сингъл има як албум, както беше Hellfire Club...

[Mort]

Вече са внесени от wizard. При вносителя Cdто е на цена 14лв, а DVDто 22 - струва си! Аз вече намазах, пък получих и голям плакат...

Отново съм аз, хъ-хъ, но ми е кеф да правя реклама на толкова любима група като Еdguy, та ето едно кратко интервю с Тоби по повод на сингъла и разни други неща :

Recently Edguy.net has asked Tobias Sammet a few questions about love, success, the forthcoming album and the tour. Enjoy! For German language click the little flag in the menu bar.

Still available are the new EP & DVD “Superheroes” which are still on the charts all over Europe having peaked at #2 in Sweden and # 25 in Germany.


Question: Now, have you finally found yourself a wife?
Tobias Sammet: Well, since the release of the DVD I’ve started families on a weekly basis, haha. No, it was all a joke, I am still single and feeling great, a bit afraid of commitment yet. Being a singing gypsy means you either end up being a cheap trophy for someone or you have loads of trouble once you get further in any given relationship. I spend a lot of time out in space on planet Tobi featuring stages, travelling and letting out the kid in me, 24 hours a day if necessary - or better: if possible, haha. If your world is reduced to 9 to 5, your local football-team and washing your Korean family van every saturday afternoon, I am on my way to Trinidad. Byebye. I accept and try to appreciate all kinds of life-styles, I can come out to share yours, but I won’t give up being a citizen of planet Tobi. Therefore it’s too late, I am too nuts already, haha. Well, that being said: I am still a ticking testosterone bomb, haha.

Q: So you’re desperately in need of groupies now?
TS: There’s no such a thing as groupies. That sounds professional and disgusting. There is just women that are attracted to little flexible egomaniacs with a microphone. You can’t blame them for their preferences and being an entertainer it is my duty to keep our fans in good mood and jolly them up. I’m poetic, aren’t I? Haha. According to eye-witness reports usually these girls stress that they are not “such a kind of girl” - before they undo the zipper, haha. Or have you heard that one: “I don’t know, I’ve never slept with a man before”? - Who cares? Me neither! Hahaha. Okay, let’s get this straight: Honestly you have read a lot about the whole chliché, the stereotype of a musician. About the parties and the drinking and drugs and all that, I tell you: If only ten percent were true, we wouldn’t have been able to do it for 14 years now. And I certainly wanna do it for another 20 years. People want a story, so people get a story: It’s funny to parody things, but I don’t wanna become the parody of a rock singer. I try to keep total control over me, I just got one life and I don’t throw it away to live up to a certain cliché. I am Tobi! Being a singer means you play the show and you go to bed early most of the time without partying, because you take care of your voice. I am having little naps all the time, I try to sleep as much as possible because it’s the best way to recover from vocal strains. I hardly speak on the road, hard to imagine, but true. So I am very isolated on the road. A few parties are fine with me - I am a musician! But I try not to drink too much all the time. That being said: Yes, I still believe I am able to have a serious relationship, but it’s not my highest priority to get into one at any price. You can’t force, if it happens then it’s brilliant, if not... Well, I guess my life is quite brilliant either way.

Q: Okay, let’s get to the new EP. How are the reactions so far?
TS: Great. As we expected we’ve heard it all from “best stuff you’ve ever done” to “biggest shit under the sun!”. But fortunately I don’t care about what Edguy haters say. There was not too much in the middle which is a compliment, because getting extreme reactions means you’ve had a strong impact on people; in whatever direction. We are a band that keeps moving constantly, we don’t wanna go back or become nostalgic. I want to stay interesting and keep things interesting for ourselves. We just wanna be Edguy and do whatever we like without forgetting about the quintessence of who we are. That’s the purest form of being true and honest. Even though you may always find someone who wants a rock musician to be a devote pet that dances to the pipe of someone else’s ignorance. But you can’t please everybody or be everybody’s darling anyway. So we first wanna please ourselves, cause only as long as we are happy we can make other people happy too.

Q: The cover of the Superheroes EP is quite unique. What’s the story behind
it?
TS: Well, it’s not a secret that I want to get attention. We liked the controversity that the EP-cover caused for example. It’s fun. It’s Edguy and it’s what our fans love us for. And it’s what I love our fans for. We bullshit around and we irritate and confuse our fans sometimes. It’s all because we don’t hesitate to entertain ourselves and have a good laugh! But when it comes down to the show and the albums we deliver the goods. We can rely on our fans and they can rely on us. That being said, the artwork was a good laugh and fits the Superheroes-concept.

Q: And are you happy with the EP’s commercial success so far?
TS: I don’t know about the sales yet but we have been on the German single charts for the 5th week now, having peaked at #25 right between all those major acts and we seem to stay up there for quite a while. Unfortunately this time all the TV-stations and radio stations think we are shit., haha. That’s why they don’t really play the song too often. We haven’t accept any financial co-operations with the sharks, which means pay-to-be-played. We haven’t kissed ass. I don’t wanna come up with weird paranoid theories, but I guess the German media scene and music business have problems in growing something that has developed a life on its own and that could get out of control. We are not an artificial remote controlled bunch of dancing kids they can place and displace the way they want. We are serious shit! But it’s too late, no matter what they do, we have one big advantage over all those plastic products. We have real and loyal fans in the long term. So there’s no stopping us, no matter if the major media likes us or not. But that’s so German, if you are a German band you have a hard time here. In Sweden the DVD rocketed to #2 on the charts right before Michael Jackson and the video gets airplay. But what the fuck: Others get their videos played, we have a fanbase that most of these German 3rd-class hiphop-assholes can only dream about. So what is more important? We are gonna go on tour and see what we have worked hard for. And we are all gonna have heaps of fun.

Q: So will there be a tour for the EP?
TS: No, but we just finish the album “Rocket Ride”, out January 20th. On the 4th of February the world tour will start. We will bring the biggest stage setting we have ever had and it will surely be entertaining. I am talking about real big things, stuff that you usually only see in arena productions. We bring it to the medium sized halls. Our agency is planning it right now, while we’re finishing the album.

Q: Can you tell us anything about the forthcoming album?
TS: Well, it’s gonna be great of course, haha. The songs of the “Superheroes”-EP and the “Rocket Ride”-album originate from the same writing process but still I have a vague feeling that the EP-material tends to be a bit softer than what the album as a whole is gonna be like. Anyway, what I can say is that we have got the biggest variety of different elements and the hell of a diversity on the album while it’s still Edguy. For the first time we’ve worked with Sascha Paeth as a producer in responsibility for reocording and mixing. Even some of the arrangements were assisted by him. It was easy to work like that, because we knew if it was gonna suck we would have a scapegoat, haha. It wouldn’t really have helped but we knew the album would become a killer from the moment on the first songs came together. In fact, some bands should take out insurance policy with Lloyd in London, a suck-insurance for sucking records.

Q: Which bands?
TS: Well, take your pick! I would say those who potentially tend to suck, haha. I am not talking about anyone specific, I wish everybody all the best. Anyway, seriously it was a pleasure to work with Sascha. We recorded the basics live, which means drums, rhythm guitars and bass in one room at the same time. If you screw up, there’s no chance you can fix things. But it worked and it sounds much stronger than playing Atari in the studio and fixing everything. It rocks. I guess, and I don’t wanna blow my own trumpet even though I wish I could – technically, haha. Well, what I wanna say is, that Sascha managed to create the most powerful but still transparent sound we have ever had. And I guess it will be state-of-the-art. When the Rammstein album “Mutter” came out, everybody talked about it and what a piece of art their sound was. And doubtlessly it was. In my humble opinion Sascha managed to create some equivalent on a different terrain. A state-of-the-art sound equivalent in Metal. But go and listen to it in January and then form your own opinion on it.
Anyway, back to the material itself. We got a song called “Matrix” which has very modern elements, we have a fun anthem called “Trinidad” and we have anthemic midtempo grooves galore. I can proudly announce we did an album that many other bands perhaps would not dare to do the way it is. And I mean it in a positive way, cause we didn’t do a grunge album, haha. We did an Edguy one. It’s melodic, powerful and it kicks major ass.

Q: Okay, do you have any last words for your fans?
TS: Much too many to tell them now. See you all on this website soon, check the tourdates. We are back!
