@103991961193874313337 Taste is taste I guess. I also LOVE those albums. But I think a song like "The Piper Never Dies" is their crowning achievement :)
Bruce Dickinson must've been quaking in his booties when he heard Edguy. Closest approximation I have yet to hear in my 16 years of loving Maiden, and maybe even my 14 or so years of knowing about these guys.
Mikael Wertti Dont forget about Manowars debut album and Saxons Power and the glory. Manowar was even before Helloween, Running wild, Rage, Blind guardian etc.
saw you in mokena illinois. appendix removed. still the show must go on.. sitting in the rafters judging the crowd and hanging out at the bathrooms for selfies. You are amazing in all aspects of music. Keep it up.......
I remember when I went to a flea market around 2003, from which I found an edguy record and a hammerfall. Both I bought based on their cases looked cool. Was instantly hooked after hearing both records. And as luck would have it, both bands came to my city during 2007-2009
This song is about growing up .. the lyrics took me some time to figure out and are really well written one of the very, very good songs by Edguy ! Love Avantasia and Edguy !
My God, how I miss the days where Edguy was the real deal and Avantasia was just the side project. Mandrake, Hellfire Club and Rocket Ride are a hell of a trinity!!
Edguy had been an important part of my childhood, and I don't mind if it remains so. Now I'm much older and so is Tobias. When he was young he had a good voice. Now as he is older, he no longer has that golden voice. When he was younger he had an amazing skill of writing music. Now that he is older with the years of experience behind him he has an incredible skill for writing music. Let Edguy be a lovely memory from our childhood and let Tobias write something more mature, refined and sophisticated, which is Avantasia.
I think, the issue is the same like with Serj Tankian and System of a Down (who also had their prime in my teenage days). If you work together with 3-4 personalities over years, the writing of music and being creative starts with making compromises and attaching everyone’s wishes and needs. If you are caught between two successful groups and the most part of the work is hanging on you, don’t you ask yourself, if you still want to do this? Both singers, Serj Tankian and Tobias Sammet, have another thing in common: they considered their last studio efforts to be made under very heavy circumstances and did not knew, if they even wanted to make these albums. This was with Mezmerize/Hypnotize 📿🪬and so with Space Police - Defenders of the Crown 👮🏻♂️ 👑
When you're walking down the empty road Feel like creeping, crawling, cold and bare And you're afraid of Mister Scary-face Don't turn around since you may find him there A fire of hope has turned into smoke, The child to a man It's nothing but grey painting your way And no one could ever tell... Tell me why all the clowns have gone Tell me where did they run Just when I close my eyes I can see them arise Fool tell me where did you go Fool tell me why did you go away, all the clowns On and on, tomorrow's yesterday No more tears allowed, you'll stand your pain The child inside will die for liberty Hope you don't mind that they will nail a frame A spark of a 'no' Rebellion and hope The fire of life I don't mind if you blame Don't feel ashamed Still I know them well [repeat chorus] [solo: Both / Jens] [repeat chorus] Oh, all the clowns...
When i listen stratovarius,,this band show,,i click and i like it,,omg i never know this band,,this band containt power metal and melodic song,,,my ear like it,,,my body contraction,,and my head cant stop moving,,,,😁
I used to love these guys... they were so amazing, their music excellent and Sammet´s voice really made me feel alive. I had the opportunity to see them alive several times; sing, scream, jump and cry while they played for us... what unforgettable times !!
They really fell under the radar in the states...just one of those bands that, for some reason...didn't hit it big. Their first greatest hits CD is some of the best stuff. I used to have it.
Absolutely love this tune, it’s disappointing that they cut off the final chorus at the end though with the key change up, that was the best part :( still a classic nonetheless though!
