Helloween - Exclusive Helloween Interview lyrics

(helloween)<br>Kiske:<br>Well, japan. we've been there, I think, two times now, and it's always been<br>A great fun playing there. I like the venues. they are sounding very good,<br>They look very good, and kids over there really appreciate good music and<br>Stuff. and I think the next time we're gonna play at the budokan, which is<br>Pretty cool. lookin' forward to it. it's gonna be fun.<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>Japan has been always great to play there, and will be in the future. and<br>Japan people are great, it's fun to play there and you feel very confident<br>And convinient or whatever to play there. and japanese people are listening<br>Very carefully, I don't know. it's great to be in japan.<br><br>Kiske:<br>Kids of the century is the first life sign of us after two and a half<br>Years. and after all those rumours going around about this band me<br>Leaving the band, me splitting up, or the band splitting up, and all that<br>Stuff, which has been quite a lot. maybe that's normal when the band's not<br>On the scene for a while. but after that it feels really good to have,<br>Actually, a new album ready and a single out. so the kids know we are still<br>There. and with the music you can prove what you can do still even without<br>One guy that just left the band. I think we found the right person there,<br>Roland. and I think the album says everything. yeah, I wrote kids of the<br>Century about more than two years ago now. and remembering that time i<br>Feel like, when I wrote that song, I was in that feel of that all the kids<br>Today, they just feel like they haven't got anything to do with the<br>Problems. everything goes wrong, the nature or whatever. just came out of<br>That feeling actually. and that's what the song's all about, I think. what<br>The kids today...because I feel like everybody's responsible, especially<br>The kids. if they don't feel like they have to change anything or have to<br>Make things better, nobody will.<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>I think having roland in the band is.. we are as lucky as we have michael<br>In the band by that time, we are lucky having roland in the band. and he's<br>Just doing great songs and great guitar work he's doing. and a good pal as<br>Well. he's a nice fellow. and he just fits in the band very much. I think<br>The fans will accept him of course.<br><br>Weikath:<br>Well, the nice thing about roland being in the band is that I saw him<br>Like, I don't know, fifteen years ago or so on stage, and I thought that<br>Was pretty impressing, what he did there, and I could never forget about<br>That. and that's why actually I called him up then when we needed another<br>Guitarist, remember that guy? . and so it took me, like, four hours to<br>Find out the number, like I had to phone up musicians I knew and suddenly<br>Somehow I got the number, and phoned him up: you might not know me, but i<br>Know you. how about playing guitar in helloween? and he didn't even know<br>The band. so I had to give him some examples of our songs, like really<br>Loud, cranked it up. and so, well, he was interested, like it quite a lot.<br>And then we went to rehearsing, we had to do the whole stuff within two<br>Months. 'cause then we had to go on an american tour and japan meant two<br>Hours of playing. and well, ha ha, quite a tough job I would say. after<br>All, I mean, we can handle that, we are pretty good, you know. and i'm<br>Sorry about that, but well... yeah, roland is a very nice guy. he's<br>Doing a big part of the band with his character, and his kind of being.<br>And it's quite a difference too how the whole thing worked before, because<br>He is a completely different character. he is a lot more calm and very<br>Critical. he's always got his own opinion and that's exactly what we need.<br><br>Kiske:<br><br>Yeah, we recorded the album at puk studio in denmark, which is a very good<br>Studio, I think, very lovely place. it's right in the middle of nowhere<br>But that's actually what we wanted, to really concentrate on the album.<br>And working with chris was pretty cool, because he's got a very strong<br>Sense of humor as we like it. and we had some cool moments there and<br>That's all caught on the album. yeah, the production that chris<br>Tsangarides has done is right in your face. that's the best description<br>Of the sound actually. so just check it out!<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>Crystal clear, or...<br><br>Kiske:<br>Crystal tsangarides clear, ha ha!<br><br>Weikath:<br>I would say thank you to everybody who kept up the faith during all that<br>Time, and after all, those rumours are untrue.<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>The best thing for the fans, for the people who like us, is just to listen<br>What comes from us directly, like this now, and the album of course.<br><br>Kiske:<br>Yeah, especially the album.<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>Don't trust any rumours or whatever.<br><br>Kiske:<br>The thing is, forget about what's been in the magazines, or what has been<br>Said, or all the stuff. and just check out the album and you know what's<br>Going on. of course, the single as well.<br><br>Schwichtenberg:<br>Thanks for keeping the faith.
