in Serbia <Igloo> Hansi: wich is your favourite 
BG-song? <imaginations> Hansi have you ever tried Souvlaki??? (then let's 
talk about top dishes!!) <Ironlord> Hi Hansi, I just want to say thanx for all themusic 
and for everything Blind Guardian has done for me over the 
years <KB> Just Wanted to say that in our place which is very close to 
Germany we are a group of about ten guys who listen to your music. A friend of a 
friend's brother brought us a cd, and some of us did discover the tolkien part 
of your songsÖ A few weeks later we were total fans, and nobody knew who you 
were. <Kyriakos> Hansi : First of all , I would like to apologize on 
behalf of the Greeks for what happened when you and Jon came to Greece for the 
signings session . I appreciate the fact that it was your own decission :) Thanx 
and sorry for the mess . It was everybody's fault ! So ... How's Andrea ? ( 
Greetings :) how are you and how is everybody else ( the guys 
:)? <Serenity^> Feanor: I'm a metal-journalist from Sweden, and I 
was wondering if you'd be interested in doing an interview with our magazine? 
I/we would truly appreciate it, and it would be a great honour for us. Would be 
great if we could discuss this via e-mail or in a private chatroom, if you're 
interested? <Vilhelmus> Hi Hansi! I know this sonds stupid, but to what 
address can I send my band's demo CD for you? I would like to be sure that it 
comes straight to you. <Legion> hello Feanor from greece once again:)...the first 
question i would like to ask is what do u do to keep your voice in shape when 
there are all those live shows or recording <Koniko> can I say a magic spell? 
PIZZACCIOUGHE!!! <Lilith> Hi Hansi greeting from Brasil. When and how did u start 
reading fantasy books??? <loddie666> Hail Hansi!!! question: I always thought and dreamed 
that making a living on a band, playing Metal, would save me from having a 
routine life, you know, stuff you have to do every day. you make a living on 
your band, so, do you think that is true? <SnowOrc> Hello Hansi! Greetings from Sweden! Im going to 
Krefeld this summer with my family for one day and I was wondering if theres 
any chance for me to meet you guys? <Nemo> Hansi: I've got lots of stuff to ask you too, but I will 
meet you at Gods of Metal for a full interview... so meet you there 
:o) <DS-sama> hansi, what do u think about the mp3 trade that has 
been done all over internet? <Opossum_> feanor: do u play roleplaying 
games? <Rekail> Hi Hansi, pleased to speak to you... here in Spain we 
have a #blind_guardian channel, dou you think you would give us one interview at 
the Demons tour please ?? <Peavy> First off, id like to thank you for giving us eager and 
BG-worshipping fans this opportunity. must be a royal pain in the backside.

t-shirt of Bg in Russia, firms in Germany dont <Rekail> Ummmm ...you had been so many time answering the 
questions... don`t you want to go to the W.C ?? hahah <Tark> Hansi..what can I say? I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!! :)) Oh..a 
question now..a stupid question maybe..but what's your best album in your 
opinion? you must be true! :) <Treesinger> Hi Hansi, I'd like to know, what you think about 
religion? <Weiman> Hi Andre, greetings from Gothenburg! First question:

earth <_blade_> Greetings Hansi!!!My name is Chris and I'm a singer 
too!!My band is named "Distant Dreamland" and we play something like BG!We are 
from Greece <Cybertroll> Hansi, in my opinion you influence many people with 
your music and your lyrics. How do you feel about it? Is it a heavy 
burden? <|Samuel|> hansi, you're a real great compposer ans singer, in 
my country (spain) you're a "tio de putisima madre" <JimTheHobbit> Feanor : if you could be bothered, could you sign 
my guestbook, www.geocities.com/jimthehobbit thanks so 
much! <SnowOrc> Hello Hansi! When did you started to play guitar (I 
guess you learned that first?) And when did you realized that you wanted to be a 
singer?
  
  
     Chat with Hansi - General questions 
<BlindBard> Hansi, what you would advise to a beginning 
band? Do you think it's better to send the demos to as much comanies as possible 
or try to play live everyvere to get known?
<BlindBard> 
companies i mean
<Feanor> Blindbard demos are far more 
efficient, than live shows. it is a tough time to get a deal for young bands 
right. Take of the sharks outside
<Feanor> katharsis my favourtie beer is Rhenannia, but i had 
to cut it down a little over the last few years
<Feanor> <boeder>right now it is strawberry cream
<Feanor> 
blitzwar I don ´t even know what it is, so I guess I will like it
<Feanor> 
dark angel I have read Pratchet and enjoyed it partly, I still hold back titles 
for the new album
<Feanor> Crispin of course I remember the mighty 
crispin
<Feanor> Rock City rules
<Feanor> ddrake I don ´t, sorry
<Feanor> 
ddarke Spain is great. spanish fans are special
<Feanor> 
darktemplar surely you can find magnus in each kind of restaurant. little fat 
thomen probably, as well
<Feanor> dickinson massive crowd reaction, it ruled. the 
accoustic shows I considered to be the best we have experienced so far
<Feanor> erekose good life, good music, my wife around 
me, my dog at my side, a good book and and one or two healthy beer
<Feanor> 
erekose it was fun
<Feanor> enitwetog so you should walk in 
the dark for a few more days
<Feanor> enitwetog and i live finnlan, though i haven ´t been 
there so far. this must be changed
<Feanor> 
Evylyn my wife said thanks there is no need and I agree
<Evylyn> 
*grins* at least I gave it a try
<Feanor> errtu difficult question
<Errtu> 
you don't remember?
<Feanor> Errtu that ´s the mess with drunken 
sailors
<Feanor> errtu Napster is something i 
don ´t really consider to be of interest
<Feanor> fanatiko the other guys will appear on later 
days. this is just a beginning
<Feanor> fates i haven ´t done so far, but i am 
convinced the others haven ´t as well
<Feanor> framin a bunch Stephan Grundy, 
Lawhead, etc.
<Framin> Hansi - Hey! You dont read Zalazny? Realy 
it is a great mistake ;)
<Feanor> framin Roger Zelazny is nice, 
but i am not fond of reading his novells
<Feanor> framin I would like to add Willow and 
the 6th Sense
<Feanor> 
helloween there are couple of good countries, which achieve more or less the 
same level. so this is hard to say, plus it changes from time to time. you never 
can be sure about the reaction and we always try to give our best
<Feanor> hero I might die by the sword one day, but I don 
´t own one. I would be a dangerous weapon in my hand
<Feanor> hra47 I of course do, my wife complyins about 
it big times
<Feanor> imaginations none so far, sorry. so there is 
no favourite one
<Igor> hahaha!
<Igor> Sure known! 
:)
<Feanor> igloo The Bard ´s Song and Bright Eyes Time 
stands still
<Feanor> imaginations good food, no 
doubt, but it does not get close to S.Bs
<Feanor> ironlord my thanks goes out to 
you
<Ironlord> always welcome, no 
problem
<Feanor> ironlord we will try to keep you happy and 
thrilled, that ´s one the reasons a BG album takes so 
long
<Ironlord> btw, hi from all the american fans( not sure how 
many, but I think there is alot)
<Feanor> ironlord say hi for 
me
<Ironlord> ok
<KB> Now you know that Alsacian beer drinkers love your 
music and the whole group.
<Feanor> kb that ´s the way it goes. 
cool to hear
<Feanor> kb sounds nice. I would give some of my 
hairs to play in Alaska
<Feanor> kyriakos andrea is fine thanks. Ba the way Jon and 
I enjoyed Greed, nevertheless. I am sure it won ´t happen again
<Feanor> serenity I would be contact haplo
<Feanor> Vilhelmus send it to the 
Fanclubs address, which has changed so ask haplo
<Haplo> Hansi: 
excuse me, plz direct people to mystical/-kos, he's better informed hehe
<Feanor> legion not 
smoking, only small amounts of alcohol during studio session, live a happy life, 
try to avoid stress (which is impossible)
<Feanor> koniko you can
<Feanor> Lilith Years back. A long 
story, which I can ´t really remember right now. I started with horror novels 
that ´s for sure
<Feanor> loddie666 it 
is a nice life, but odd. It is far more work than fun. but i enjoy work
<Feanor> snoworc we will be 
rather busy I am afraid.
<Feanor> nemo I will eagerly answer all of your questions if 
i can
<DS-sama> i mean what do u think 
about your songs being traded for free?
<DS-sama> even its just 
mp3, not full albums
<Feanor> ds-sama it is a bless and a 
curse
<Landis> DS... he's Hansi.. not Lars 
;p
<DS-sama> well a band whose name i dontwant to mention 
*ocugh*met*cough*allica has sued the developers of a program that makes mp3 
trading easier...
<DS-sama> and it partly sucks 
;/
<Feanor> ds-sama it doesn ´t help me too much. that ´s for 
sure
<Feanor> ds-sama that ´s not the right way I 
think
<DS-sama> well as long as you dont record a load/ reload 
then sue us, its fine :)
<Feanor> Opossum not so far. There hardly would be any 
time
<Feanor> rekail why 
not?
<Rekail> At Barcelona we contact with you.. ok 
??
<Feanor> rekail I can ´t await speaking to you
<Peavy> Do you like the movie Conan the Barbarian? The 
music in that movie is widely talked about, and i personally love it. Have you 
heard about the composer Basil Poledonius (im not sure of the spelling)? Could 
there ever be a collaberation between some other composer, perhaps him? im sure 
a classical composer would be very interesting to a band such as BG 
:)
<Peavy> And also i would very much like to see BG tour here 
in Sweden!
<Peavy> hehe, been holding up for over two hours now! 
;)
<Cybertroll> Peavy: the composer is Basilis 
Polidouris
<Feanor> peavy how did you find 
outß
<Peavy> Cybertroll: oh yeah, i think you corrected me 
before on the mailing list too. :)
<Peavy> Feanor: i can 
imagine, sitting here for two hours and answering all kinds of questions. 
phew
<Feanor> peavy I do like the movie, regarding composers I 
just say let ´s see what the future brings
<Peavy> Feanor: i can 
only hope, the battlemusic You could come up with.. too much of a swindling 
thought :)
<Smasher> want 
have a busines with our firms (in Russia) and we dont want buy our pirats suxx 
... ... maybe bg's cant
<Smasher> help us 
&
<Feanor> smasher regarding t-shirts, wait until we play 
there or check out with EMP
<Rekail> 
:P
<Feanor> rekail I am well abled person and I guess I know how 
to behave
<Feanor> tark same goes back to 
you. NIME I am always true (or let ´s say mostly)
<Feanor> treesinger religion is cool, which one is the 
best I can ´t say. As long as you don ´t have to spend money on it they all have 
their good points
<Feanor> weiman

with distorted guitars
