[21:17:23] Hansi, Blind Guardian was 1995 on Tour with "Böhse Onkelz" - what do you think about this Band? [21:17:29] I don ´t know right now, hopefuly in 2001 [21:17:41] 2001 in the Brazil? [21:17:50] or the new album? [21:17:55] :) [21:18:05] Will you ever tour in the states? [21:18:27] The new album will hopefully and surely be out in 2001, but when isn ´t clear right now [21:18:40] Both in 2001 [21:18:46] ok i see [21:19:02] Hansi, please answer me ;) [21:19:11] It ´s not my type of music [21:19:13] plz answer me too Hansi [21:19:19] Hansi, when will you go to Brazil again? [21:19:32] arteira: he said 2001 for both questions [21:19:37] okay [21:19:41] :) [21:19:45] Have you heard Ayreon and what do you think of it? Would you like to be on Ayreon? [21:19:49] will there come an Second "Demons & Wizards" Album? [21:20:11] we will be in Brazil somewhere in 2001 [21:20:14] D&W is not good anyway [21:20:19] Can Blind Guardian please take a stop in Norway on next tour? [21:21:03] time is almost up [21:21:06] Any plans to tour in Finland? [21:21:08] Feanor: are you giving precedence to the new BG album or to the orchestral project now? Or both? [21:21:09] I hear the first one and thought it wasn ´t bad, but something is missing to make it really big [21:21:25] hey, he just answerde 3 or 4 questions :( [21:21:30] Archeron, I thope we will pass by on our next European tour [21:21:32] next people [21:21:39] thanx, i'll be there [21:21:58] Ayreon Finnland is pretty possible, too [21:22:27] i was wondering if you have any plans to ever tour the usa? [21:22:35] feanor: what do u think of running wild's "victory"? [21:22:36] Hi hansi do you plan to come to Bulgaria on one of your tours? [21:23:20] Belial, I am sure there is a big possibility with our next one, so far it wouldn ´t have made sense [21:23:59] cool :) what is the next album going to be like? A concept album? [21:24:09] Sorry to say I haven ´t heard it,yet. Only the song on the rock hard CD and that wasn ´t very spectacular [21:24:41] >Barbarian>I hope so, though we haven ´t got in any offers so far [21:24:46] Feanor: are you giving precedence to the new BG album or to the orchestral project now? Or both? [21:24:49] and what about comming here to BG [21:25:31] >Belial> I am not sure yet. I believe this time it will be topic themes which each song. I lean towards [21:26:35] >Nemo> we prfer to work on the regular album right now. The orchestral stuff is on hold, but it is the best stuff we have done so far [21:26:42] i think that there will be thousands of people coming to the concert just for you [21:26:45] time for the next people [21:27:05] Barbarian That would be an adventure for sure [21:27:19] Hansi, do you think Guardian will ever come to Moscow? I heard that a company called TCI tried to organize a concert but you refused... Is it true? [21:27:24] Since Tokyo Tales was released quite a few years ago, how about a new live album? [21:27:28] Greetins Hansi [21:27:55] >BlindBard> it depends on the success of the next album, but we desperately would like to go there [21:28:14] hope to see oyu here :) [21:28:17] BlindBard noone contacted us so far [21:28:20] Hansi, is there any chance of coming again to south America in the next tour? [21:28:32] I know a big fanbase here in Venezuela [21:28:42] that would love to have you guys play [21:29:01] >Beorn>Let ´s wait and see, but we consider to do so, probably after the next regular, time will tell [21:29:19] Will the songs of the cancelled ep be on the next record? [21:29:35] Hansi: what stage have you reached in the process of making the new album? Some songs have been completed a lot of time ago... please update us on the situation [21:29:38] beJuanito surely we will. we had a great but stressful time over there. we all would love to do it again [21:29:46] Good [21:29:53] 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? [21:30:12] companies i mean [21:30:21] beorn: possible, but not approved. it is a question of quality [21:30:27] In the new album... is it more like NiME, Imaginations... or is it something really new? [21:30:56] 60% is done and we are increasing speed and quality [21:31:53] next [21:31:55] 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 [21:32:05] greetins from Venezuela Hansi [21:32:11] Hansi: what's your favorite beer ? =) [21:32:20] yes [21:32:27] Hell-o Hansi, I'd like to know what do you think of Finnish Melodic Opera Metal band, called Nightwish? [21:32:30] bejuanito so far it is in between, but we again tried to invent something new [21:32:38] Hi Hansi, Will Blind Guardian appear on the "Lord of the Rings" soundtrack? [21:33:13] katharsis my favourtie beer is Rhenannia, but i had to cut it down a little over the last few years [21:33:23] feanor: what food do u like the best ? [21:33:37] BlitzWar I think they do a decent job [21:34:15] >boeder>right now it is strawberry cream [21:34:46] bregolad i doubt we do, but the movie will be great anyway [21:34:54] Will the next album be LOTR inspired? [21:35:05] Feanor: wie geht´s ? [21:35:09] Do you like to use IRC alot? [21:35:44] bregolad I guess it will be Tolkien influenced on one or two songs, plus the ep stuff which deal with Silmarillion [21:36:01] Hansi, why no LOTR soundtrack? [21:36:18] blitzwar I don ´t even know what it is, so I guess I will like it [21:36:37] time for the next bunch of people [21:36:45] no... [21:36:54] why no LOTR soundtrack? [21:37:01] bregolad we weren ´t asked so far, plus we were not able to provide them with stuff in time [21:37:42] hi hansi, why blind guardian hasn´t released any live video yet? [21:38:04] do you have any song title or next album title so far? [21:38:17] have you read pratcheet? [21:38:23] we didn ´t feel that the time was right so far. we would like to make it special [21:38:35] how do you and Andre do when you write songs together? [21:38:56] will next album be heavier than nightfall? it dissapointed me a bit... [21:39:26] dark angel I have read Pratchet and enjoyed it partly, I still hold back titles for the new album [21:39:42] (CRISPIN).HI HANSI! I'M FROM GREECE.ROCK CITY .REMEMBER? [21:39:49] have you heard any spanish heavy metal band? i knew you have heard su ta gar [21:40:15] butterflyman seperately we usually work on single pieces and try to build things to together it is like jiggsaw puzzling [21:40:19] but there are cool bands like tierra santa, avalanch, easy rider, latzen and more for sure... [21:40:47] dark-angel I am not sure what heavy means, if NIME is not [21:41:09] Crispin of course I remember the mighty crispin [21:41:35] i say perhaps harder kind of imaginations or past albums, for me nime has too many "ballads" [21:41:35] but NIME is cool for sure :) [21:41:45] dark-angel I hear Baron Rojo and some others but I am unfortunately no specialist [21:41:53] How do you come up with song ideas ? when ? [21:41:55] Rock City rules [21:42:15] try to hear them hansi, spain has good heavy bands that aren´t known in europe but.. haha! [21:42:17] it's time for the next group [21:42:22] does Andre do the most musical part and you the lyrics? [21:42:24] bye hansi [21:42:35] Century Media just released Somewhere Far Beyond here in the US. Do you know of any plans to release Forgotten Tales or even the first 2 albums here? [21:42:40] hi hansi, i have one question, will BG play in your hometown krefeld, ever again? [21:42:43] Hi Hansi, i´f like to know if you play "Role Playing Games"... [21:42:44] dark-angel we will do our best to make you happy, we have no intention to supply you with too many ballads [21:43:25] butterfly man we share the musical part, but it is 65% André and 35% me [21:44:12] Dear_Soul I don ´t have a clue, but they would be stupid not to [21:44:28] Have you ever thought about doing a show or tour involving Iced Earth, Blind Guardian and Demons & Wizards? Maybe releasing a live CD to go along with it? [21:44:43] darktemplar only god knows, it is not out of the world [21:45:02] What do you think about Spain? [21:45:04] hansi, is it true, that some of the band band members can be found sometimes at Pizza Hut in krefeld? [21:45:06] ddrake I don ´t, sorry [21:45:54] uhh, I think you MUST make a theme for LOTR movie [21:45:55] : ) [21:45:59] Dead-soul it is difficult, but at least Jon and I would enjoy it. WE will see. It is a good opportunity for the states [21:46:27] okay, time's up [21:46:32] thanks hansi! [21:46:34] on to the next [21:46:40] smuack hansi!

[21:47:02] Hansi, will you get a permanent bassist for the next album? And why have you tuned down the heaviness from IFTOS to NIME, thus, will the next one be heavy like IFTOS and epic/well arranged like NIME? Going forth... Will you visit Sweden on the next tour? Perhaps play att Sweden Rock Festival. [21:47:10] hows it going hansi??? [21:47:23] darktemplar surely you can find magnus in each kind of restaurant. little fat thomen probably, as well [21:47:37] what do u think about the argentinian ppl???

[21:52:12] hallo Hansi, I'd like to ask if Oliver is a steady member of the band right now... [21:53:03] dreamer no he is not, but he is the best slave you can buy at the moment [21:53:12] hehehe, lowest price :P [21:53:45] erekose good life, good music, my wife around me, my dog at my side, a good book and and one or two healthy beer [21:53:49] up to now your lyrics have been about fantasy, do you plan change that sometime in the future? [21:54:01] hansi, will u keep using him on next album/ tour? [21:54:08] (oliver) [21:54:10] Hansi do you have contact with the other members outside of band commitments? [21:54:22] erekose I am not really able to deal with other topics, so i stick to the guns [21:54:27] And this one I've been wondering for a long time. Where babies come from? [21:55:06] ds-sama partly we will, I might appear as a bassist on one or two songs again. [21:55:32] i live in zaragoza(spain) you came here in 1995 i think, what was it like? will you ever come back here? [21:55:43] ok :) [21:55:55] enitwetog so you should walk in the dark for a few more days [21:56:18] Thank you, Finland loves you, you are god, etc. :) [21:56:27] erekose it was fun [21:56:59] what do you think of "Opeth"? [21:57:06] enitwetog and i live finnlan, though i haven ´t been there so far. this must be changed [21:57:15] okay, time for a change [21:57:17] aside from the previous question, I'd like to ask you Hansi if you thought about making a song that is based on a Star Wars concept ... [21:57:20] erekose i don ´t even know them, sorry [21:57:27] ok [21:57:33] thank you hansi [21:57:59] dreamer that easily can turn into a cheesy failure [21:58:02] Do you need any swedish young female groupies at your next tour? *grins* I volunteer. I worship you. *grins even more* Please come to sweden and I promise to give you a kiss on the cheek! [21:58:02] Hansi: in which country did you get drunk the most? [21:58:56] Evylyn my wife said thanks there is no need and I agree [21:59:12] errtu difficult question [21:59:17] Would you like "Lord of the rings to be" the lead-motive in the film LOTR if you got the offer? [21:59:30] hansi: me and Wolffien were thinking that you really should do a cover song of 'road runner-themes song' cover :) just to continue your great series of cover songs :) [21:59:31] you don't remember? [21:59:39] evylyn I even would pay money for it [21:59:40] *grins* at least I gave it a try [22:00:05] Will you come to sweden at your next tour? [22:00:32] extrian we might do so if I only knew the song [22:00:51] Why don't u have sweaters with your logo in other sizes than xxl!!!? it is not good for me [22:00:51] evylyn surely we will [22:00:59] Feanor: for the love of god, don't let them send the song to you [22:01:17] Errtu that ´s the mess with drunken sailors [22:01:45] errtu god knows mercy anyway [22:02:02] so far i have seen little of his mercy [22:02:04] okies, changing groups [22:02:08] have you heard about the Metallica vs Napster thing, and what do you think of it? [22:02:28] Hail Hansi!!!! How are you? I am a fanatical fan from New York City who had the pleasure of seeing BG perform at Wacken '98....I was blown away. Finally travelling thousands of km to see BG I was in heaven. Hopefully Century Media will promote the hell out of the next album!!!! or else they will pay.... [22:02:31] HI Hansi first Of all say that I appreciate in extreme the fact D&W Will play 3 times in Spain....spain rulzzz but what so many times here and so few in the rest of the world (just 4) [22:02:40] errtu Napster is something i don ´t really consider to be of interest [22:02:52] Why the other members of the group aren't here ? ...posibly because it's a interview with Hansi Kürsch ?... but , why only with you ? [22:02:57] hansi....in spain you're touring with Dark Moor, who choosed that band??? have you ever heard them??? [22:03:12] plz people, keep it moderate for Hansi [22:03:27] ok hap :P [22:03:29] fanatiko the other guys will appear on later days. this is just a beginning [22:03:30] hehe...you knew I had to say that CHris :) [22:03:47] fathervic the promoter, i think [22:03:52] sure, just not too much at a time :) [22:03:59] okok.hansi: When was the last time you guys went to a strip club? [22:04:21] oohhh I suposed it was cause we are the fucking best crowd in the world!!! :PPP [22:04:24] on the internet surfed a song called Gandalf the Magician that was instrumental, was it a BG song???? [22:04:43] Did you know that 24-Jun , the day you play in Barcelona it's Sant Joan , and the typical in that day are the fireworks ... What are going to hear louder the firework noise ore the Blind Guardian music ? [22:04:43] fates i haven ´t done so far, but i am convinced the others haven ´t as well [22:04:56] fathervic, isn't from Pär Lindh Project? [22:05:14] dunno lobo....that's why I ask [22:05:41] there's a song done by PHL that some ppl think BG did [22:05:44] Hansi: hehe...a very belieavable answer :).....I just wanna say I will wage war on MTV in NYC on behalf of BG if you want me too :) [22:05:46] fathervic i am sure it is not us, so this is a miraculous amateurish, but good copy, I heard [22:05:54] what kind of music has the band been hearing last months? [22:06:03] here on spain we have an internet BG fanclub, do you think is possible to get an interview when D&W comes here?????? [22:06:25] okay, changing time [22:06:29] fanatiko isn ´t it Demons and Wizards playing, I am confused [22:06:41] * Galadrim says: Elen sila lùmenn omentielmo Hansi, How about giving Peter Jackson one of the songs from N.I.M.E to use in the movie? (NOLDOR PERHAPS) [22:06:45] Hansi, you read Tolkien (of cource!), King, Murkok. What else you have read of fantasy books. How abaut Rodger Zelazny? Robert Jordan? Le Guin? [22:06:51] Lobothrax Pär Lindh is cool [22:07:15] fates go ahead [22:07:47] Hansi, does Blind Guardian let people up on stage to sing/play along with you? [22:07:58] fanatiko I enjoy listening to the old stuff, the best newer album is the latest Dream Theater [22:08:33] framin a bunch Stephan Grundy, Lawhead, etc. [22:08:41] Hansi, you favorit movie? How about Star Wars, Brave Heart, Labyrinth? [22:09:34] Hansi - Hey! You dont read Zalazny? Realy it is a great mistake ;) [22:09:45] galadrim in seldom cases we do, but usually it is impossible. We have a careful but impressive looking roadie who takes care on such things [22:10:02] * Galadrim says: Elen sila lùmenn omentielmo Hansi, How about giving Peter Jackson one of the songs from N.I.M.E to use in the movie? (NOLDOR PERHAPS) [22:10:10] Hansi - And how about Russian Fans? Do you planed concerts in Russia? [22:10:17] framin I would like to add Willow and the 6th Sense [22:10:37] time's up [22:10:42] Will the next B.G record continue, where N.I.M.E ended ??? [22:10:47] framin Roger Zelazny is nice, but i am not fond of reading his novells [22:11:01] Hansi, excuse me... I haven't the possibility to hear HARVEST OF SORROW, but i have heard that is GREAT!!! Can you tell me if it will be out somehow (maybe in the next BG album!!!) PLEASE TELL ME THAT IT WILL BE OUT!!! [22:11:02] Hail Hansi, my name is Roger and I'm from Sweden...the biggest Tolkien-fan around =) [22:11:02] First of all I like to thank you and the rest of Blind Guardian. It was because of you I started to listen to Metal. [22:11:03] I will also greet you from all my Metalfriends in Bäckefors and Dals Ed here in Sweden...I think we love you all here =) [22:11:09] ok, take it easy people [22:11:36] oh, sorry..I've prepeared myself for hours =) [22:11:51] galadrim I think they they would be too heavy, he needs bombastic classical music, which we could provide him with, but I think they have made their decision already [22:11:58] Hansi, excuse me... I haven't the possibility to hear HARVEST OF SORROW, but i have heard that is GREAT!!! Can you tell me if it will be out somehow (maybe in the next BG album!!!) PLEASE TELL ME THAT IT WILL BE OUT!!! [22:12:08] glorfindel that sounds more than just impressive [22:12:28] gighen: please wait for an answer, don't repeat yourself [22:12:32] Thank you my dear Metalbrother =) What do you think about Luca Turilli's soloalbum "King of the Nordic Twilight"? [22:12:42] ok, excuse me... [22:13:28] gighen it is a good song and out of the old songs it does have the biggest chance to appear on the next B.G. output [22:13:57] glofindel a little too much of everything [22:14:15] I hope to hear feddler at gods of metal... is a great song! You are a great composer:))) [22:14:16] Oh, shame..I love it almost as much as NFIME [22:14:35] What do you think about the reunation of Iron Maiden? [22:14:51] gighen that ´s guaranteed. we start rehearsals on Monday [22:14:58] okay, time for new [22:15:22] Hail to you... Do you or your band members listen to extreme metal much such as brutal |BlacK| metal, like Darkthrone, Burzum, Gorgoroth.... or Death Metal at all? [22:15:29] Hi Hansi! Greetings from Greece! Have you seen the LOTR movie trailer? If yes what did you think of the music? [22:15:48] glorfindel let ´s wait and hear more than just one or two songs. the songs I heard was good but overwhelming [22:16:05] gothic I did it rules [22:16:12] i think so too :) [22:16:15] Would you ever consider to make your music more mainstream/commercial if you would get a big offer (i.e. movie soundtracks, etc.) [22:16:38] graverot I guess none of us does. If someone does, it surely will be Magnus [22:16:45] ok [22:16:53] i'm not reffering specificaly to lotr ;) [22:17:21] do you listen to classical music and if so who are your favorite composers? [22:17:42] gothic not in the regular terms of mainstream, but I wouldn ´t mind writing another Ballad such as "The BArd ´s song" [22:18:00] Have you ever thought/tried to make a concept album based on a different fantasy subject other than Tolkien's settings? [22:18:27] graverot So this sounds cheesy my favourite composer is Mozart. I like classical stuff but I am no pro [22:18:57] just a hint hansi, try Liszt ö) [22:19:02] gothic I considered the "Rhinegold" saga, but that has been turned down by andré [22:19:12] what bands got you into metal all those years ago?

[22:34:38] thanks to all of you [22:35:03] Hi Hansi! Greetings from sweden. Do ou gonna play in sweden on the next BG tour? [22:35:05] imaginations none so far, sorry. so there is no favourite one [22:35:11] Hail Hansi! A quick one... about new album, more alike to first few albums or to last 2 albums? Tolkien inspired... again? And BTW, greetings in the name of all Serbian fans (trust me, there's a lot!) :-) [22:35:36] igloo we will, it just has been an accident that we didn ´t tour Sweden last time [22:35:40] Hansi another thing,how about playing in Greece this year? is it possible? [22:35:49] Hansi: when are you planning to release the new BG-album? [22:36:03] one question at a time please [22:36:26] igor we lean towards the latest two recordings. it maybe is little heavier than NIME, but there ´s still a little way to go [22:37:27] Hansi: wich is your favourite BG-song? [22:37:43] Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. A couple of months ago, Kai K. told me that u have finished about 4 songs from new album... done any more? Near the end maybe? :) [22:37:53] Igor nice to hear that there are a lot of serbian fans. by the way i was asked about my favourite food before. serbian beansoup surely belongs to the top dishes ont that planet, though ia am not sure if it is known in Serbia [22:38:09] hahaha! [22:38:18] Sure known! :) [22:38:29] igloo The Bard ´s Song and Bright Eyes Time stands still [22:38:53] Hansi: how long can you stay? as you can see we still have a bunch of people to go [22:39:24] Hansi have you ever tried Souvlaki??? (then let's talk about top dishes!!) [22:39:30] igor it is more, we about to finish 7 or 8 songs, but we need 5 more. In the end they will all of the same high level [22:39:37] I'm asked all I had Chris, if others agree new group can go. :) [22:39:44] time for the next group [22:40:03] imaginations good food, no doubt, but it does not get close to S.Bs [22:40:33] Hail Hansi! You are simply wonderful! :) I wanted to tell ya only one thing: The silmarillion wasn't so beautiful when I read it, but when I've listened to it It was GLORIOUS!, MAGNIFIC!, TERRIFIC! [22:40:55] Hi Hansi, I just want to say thanx for all themusic and for everything Blind Guardian has done for me over the years [22:41:09] jack_daniel it is my pleasure. [22:41:43] ironlord my thanks goes out to you [22:42:03] always welcome, no problem [22:42:31] ironlord we will try to keep you happy and thrilled, that ´s one the reasons a BG album takes so long [22:42:45] btw, hi from all the american fans( not sure how many, but I think there is alot) [22:42:59] ironlord say hi for me [22:43:08] ok [22:43:22] Hansi: why don't Demons&Wizards play at Wacken Open Air?` [22:43:58] I couldn ´t confirm my appearance, because of BG studio activities [22:44:15] Soth last one was for you [22:44:25] Hey Hansi! [22:44:36] jimthehobbit heidiho [22:44:36] When do you plan on coming on tour again? [22:44:39] i know. sad but true, but BG is more important In My Humble Opinio, too [22:44:55] rummer control has it that Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Nevermore are to do a west coast USA tour ? true or false [22:45:14] jth we will start touring at the end of the next year I would say. let ´s see how far we get [22:45:26] soth right [22:45:39] hummmm [22:45:42] if you could fit it would you be able to come to the south of spain, since loads of other bands have come [22:46:01] and you guys rule! [22:46:20] kender unfortunately it is not more than a rumour, though we were asked to play the states. The new album deserves all our attention right now [22:46:36] darn [22:46:42] guys come on [22:47:07] just one night in arizona USA when the new album is finshed [22:47:22] jth we love the south of Spain, sorry to say but usually it isn ´t too much in our hands where we are going to play. Granada would be cool agian [22:47:22] * JimTheHobbit thinks BG should get a song on the Lord of the rings soundtrack [22:47:26] * Kender begs and pleads [22:47:28] 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. [22:47:29] Now you know that Alsacian beer drinkers love your music and the whole group. [22:47:58] kender I will consider to do that. it would be cool trip, but f... expensive, one must say [22:48:10] thats true [22:48:22] besides you don't want to be here this time of year [22:48:28] kb that ´s the way it goes. cool to hear [22:48:31] What bands where your inspiration while growing up? [22:48:33] today it will be 112f [22:48:38] when do you come in france? [22:49:04] kb sounds nice. I would give some of my hairs to play in Alaska [22:49:07] must change [22:49:13] bye Hansi! [22:49:17] kender true [22:49:33] 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/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? [22:50:54] kyriakos andrea is fine thanks. Ba the way Jon and I enjoyed Greed, nevertheless. I am sure it won ´t happen again [22:50:55] Do you plan to come in Italy with BG?? [22:51:13] When I interviewed you a while back when you had come to Greece you said that Azriel's story is about losing faith and then finding your path again ... you said it depicts your life somehow .. Can we say that this is somehow depicted in your songs as well ( Banished from sanctuary lyrics and then a little more optimistic lyrics followed by the fact that you said you want to start reading about religion after you finish reading history ...) [22:52:10] lady kitana greetings back to italy [22:52:35] Hansi: how long can you stay? as you can see we still have a bunch of people to go [22:52:37] serenity I would be contact haplo [22:52:45] uh btw hansi, this is an auto message, not a mesg of mine :p [22:52:58] time for a change again [22:53:06] can I say a magic spell?

All the others more or less sold the same amount, excluding Forgotten Tales and Tokyo Tales of course, who sold weakest [22:58:42] 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? [22:58:58] How much of the orchestral album have you finished and are you planning to finish it right after the new regular is released [22:59:14] linda thanks I decided to focus on B.G., D6W for the next few years, so there hardly will be any time [22:59:19] Hi Hansi greeting from Brasil.

[23:05:43] o you want to drink with us in "alsace" [23:05:46] Hello Hansi, about the cancelled gigs here in Brazil, I´d like to ask if there is any remaining sorrow in your relationship with brazilian fans after that? We understood everything after reading your explaining e-mail [23:05:49] mongvar second show in Brazil and first show in Argentina have been the best during our last touring period. it has been wonderful [23:06:07] kisses form spain hansi :*** [23:06:22] Do you know Tom Angelripper and Do you like it ? [23:06:52] what do you think about pokemon?? [23:07:39] cybertroll do you really think so. I guess people should enjoy the music and the lyrics should comfort the music. Whatever I write down comes from the bottom of my heart and delivers each message I can think of in these certain moments [23:08:28] morgoth it is a pitty. I hope we can do something special once we are back in South America, as a kind of excuse [23:08:35] Is there any chance of releasing a Blind Guardian´s "Scream for me Brazil"? :P [23:08:48] nightwish thanks [23:08:59] nightwish thanks [23:09:00] hansi what do you think aboy metallica's problem with napster? would you do the same?

If yes, could you give us some titles? [23:09:44] Hello Hansi! Greetings from Sweden! I’m going to Krefeld this summer with my family for one day and I was wondering if there’s any chance for me to meet you guys? [23:09:44] thanks chris [23:09:44] morgoth why not [23:09:48] Brother Hansi, Greetings from New York, USA! Question 1:Will you do a song about the Greatest Warrior of Middle-Earth... Me!!! Question 2:Will Blind Guardian ever come out with Guitar Tableture for their albums... (I've tabbed most of D&W's songs)..Thanks for your time [23:09:58] 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) [23:10:19] hansi, what do u think about the mp3 trade that has been done all over internet? [23:10:20] hi hansi, first of all: thanks alot! second: do you know if the d&w concerts will be sold out? [23:10:21] olorin yes we will it is a secret which [23:10:30] Can you imagine yourself being say... 50 years old and still composing music and releasing albums with BG? Is this your goal or you think that you will probably quit a lot sooner? [23:10:35] i mean what do u think about your songs being traded for free? [23:10:52] even its just mp3, not full albums [23:11:00] snoworc we will be rather busy I am afraid. [23:11:49] Turin your song is in operation. Harvest of Sorrow definitely deals with your weird relationship to your beloved sister [23:12:23] nemo I will eagerly answer all of your questions if i can [23:12:48] ds-sama it is a bless and a curse [23:13:14] nikannah which one [23:13:19] DS... he's Hansi.. not Lars ;p [23:13:21] pratteln [23:13:31] ch [23:13:37] next group, sorry [23:13:43] 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... [23:13:46] olorin I can, my voice slowly vains in these days [23:14:01] and it partly sucks ;/ [23:14:04] 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. hehe. :) [23:14:06] Hail Hansi!! Greetings from Sweden!! Earlier tonight you said that Mozart was your favourite composer. Is the song "The Script For My Requiem" inspired by Mozart's death and his requiem? [23:14:09] 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 :) [23:14:14] ds-sama it doesn ´t help me too much. that ´s for sure [23:14:15] Hi Hansi, I'm from Italy and we already met a few months ago during the D&W promotion. I know you are a big fan of 70s' hard rock and prog. What is, in your opinion the main difference between the spirit of the music of those times and nowadays? Don't you think there are tooooo many bands cloning each other, now? [23:14:25] And also i would very much like to see BG tour here in Sweden! [23:14:26] Hansi, Do you play Warhammer? [23:14:26] Hiiii Hansi! what made you or the band choose 'Don't talk to strangers' for the Dio tribute? [23:14:56] nikannah I doubt it will. But it will be crowded [23:14:56] Thanx Haplo [23:15:13] take it easy on him, people :) [23:15:24] ds-sama that ´s not the right way I think [23:15:26] I am taking it easy... [23:15:28] hehe, been holding up for over two hours now! ;) [23:15:34] Peavy: the composer is Basilis Polidouris [23:15:43] Hansi: Heard of Arjen "Ayreon" Lucassen? Ever been asked the be in one of his records? [23:15:43] peavy how did you find outß [23:15:50] Cybertroll: oh yeah, i think you corrected me before on the mailing list too. :) [23:15:56] well as long as you dont record a load/ reload then sue us, its fine :) [23:16:05] pianist no it is not [23:16:11] ok [23:16:41] Will ther be mor D&W records? [23:16:48] Feanor: i can imagine, sitting here for two hours and answering all kinds of questions. phew [23:17:00] Hansi: How is that guitar effect at the beginning of 'Into the Storm' done? [23:17:02] peavy I do like the movie, regarding composers I just say let ´s see what the future brings [23:17:06] feanor: do you play warhammer? [23:17:32] purple74 100% my opinion [23:17:39] feanor: do u play roleplaying games? [23:17:39] Feanor: i can only hope, the battlemusic You could come up with.. too much of a swindling thought :) [23:17:44] Great, Hansi! :-D [23:18:35] pemm it was a democratic decision plus we knew we would be able to manage that one in certain amount of time. It is a great song [23:18:36] next [23:18:39] bye Hansi (greetings from Galadrim and Bregolad too) [23:19:18] Opossum not so far.
