(helloween)Kiske:Well, japan. we've been there, I think, two times now, and it's always beenA great fun playing there. I like the venues. they are sounding very good,They look very good, and kids over there really appreciate good music andStuff. and I think the next time we're gonna play at the budokan, which isPretty cool. lookin' forward to it. it's gonna be fun.Schwichtenberg:Japan has been always great to play there, and will be in the future. andJapan people are great, it's fun to play there and you feel very confidentAnd convinient or whatever to play there. and japanese people are listeningVery carefully, I don't know. it's great to be in japan.Kiske:Kids of the century is the first life sign of us after two and a halfYears. and after all those rumours going around about this band meLeaving the band, me splitting up, or the band splitting up, and all thatStuff, which has been quite a lot. maybe that's normal when the band's notOn the scene for a while. but after that it feels really good to have,Actually, a new album ready and a single out. so the kids know we are stillThere. and with the music you can prove what you can do still even withoutOne guy that just left the band. I think we found the right person there,Roland. and I think the album says everything. yeah, I wrote kids of theCentury about more than two years ago now. and remembering that time iFeel like, when I wrote that song, I was in that feel of that all the kidsToday, they just feel like they haven't got anything to do with theProblems. everything goes wrong, the nature or whatever. just came out ofThat feeling actually. and that's what the song's all about, I think. whatThe kids today...because I feel like everybody's responsible, especiallyThe kids. if they don't feel like they have to change anything or have toMake things better, nobody will.Schwichtenberg:I think having roland in the band is.. we are as lucky as we have michaelIn the band by that time, we are lucky having roland in the band. and he'sJust doing great songs and great guitar work he's doing. and a good pal asWell. he's a nice fellow. and he just fits in the band very much. I thinkThe fans will accept him of course.Weikath:Well, the nice thing about roland being in the band is that I saw himLike, I don't know, fifteen years ago or so on stage, and I thought thatWas pretty impressing, what he did there, and I could never forget aboutThat. and that's why actually I called him up then when we needed anotherGuitarist, remember that guy? . and so it took me, like, four hours toFind out the number, like I had to phone up musicians I knew and suddenlySomehow I got the number, and phoned him up: you might not know me, but iKnow you. how about playing guitar in helloween? and he didn't even knowThe band. so I had to give him some examples of our songs, like reallyLoud, cranked it up. and so, well, he was interested, like it quite a lot.And then we went to rehearsing, we had to do the whole stuff within twoMonths. 'cause then we had to go on an american tour and japan meant twoHours of playing. and well, ha ha, quite a tough job I would say. afterAll, I mean, we can handle that, we are pretty good, you know. and i'mSorry about that, but well... yeah, roland is a very nice guy. he'sDoing a big part of the band with his character, and his kind of being.And it's quite a difference too how the whole thing worked before, becauseHe is a completely different character. he is a lot more calm and veryCritical. he's always got his own opinion and that's exactly what we need.Kiske:Yeah, we recorded the album at puk studio in denmark, which is a very goodStudio, I think, very lovely place. it's right in the middle of nowhereBut that's actually what we wanted, to really concentrate on the album.And working with chris was pretty cool, because he's got a very strongSense of humor as we like it. and we had some cool moments there andThat's all caught on the album. yeah, the production that chrisTsangarides has done is right in your face. that's the best descriptionOf the sound actually. so just check it out!Schwichtenberg:Crystal clear, or...Kiske:Crystal tsangarides clear, ha ha!Weikath:I would say thank you to everybody who kept up the faith during all thatTime, and after all, those rumours are untrue.Schwichtenberg:The best thing for the fans, for the people who like us, is just to listenWhat comes from us directly, like this now, and the album of course.Kiske:Yeah, especially the album.Schwichtenberg:Don't trust any rumours or whatever.Kiske:The thing is, forget about what's been in the magazines, or what has beenSaid, or all the stuff. and just check out the album and you know what'sGoing on. of course, the single as well.Schwichtenberg:Thanks for keeping the faith.
