New to Edguy. I think Mandrake is a great Classic power metal style album. Feels very much like Helloween. Tobi sounds like Kiske at times.
Hellfire Club is a cool album. It's true that after this, they got less power metal-ish. But Rocket Ride is still really good. But i think with Age of Joker, they went a little too far in that Rock/pop direction; still good though, and feels like Edguy and has the big chorus's, but, you know...... This Sammet guy must be a big Bon Jovi fan. I guarantee. I bet if he were to reveal what new music he's been listening too the last few years, there would be a big lack of Metal. I hear no Helloween or Maiden influence anymore.
Has any other details about this new one, Space whatever, come out yet? What do you expect from it musically?
And i hope in the future Tobi Sammet focuses mainly on Edguy. Avantasia has no interest in me. I really like all Edguy, but i feel that judging by fans opinions, he may have missed a chance here. Hellfire Club is very popular, but then he went on to Avantasia shit, then went back to Edguy with a whole new style of music. I have a feeling Edguy could have been a bigger band then they are ;(
