The HELLOWEEN guitarist talked to us last Monday and it turned to be a bloody long but damn' interesting conversation as well.В 

WEIKATH give us an insight of '7 Sinners' - the new studio album by German power metallersВ - to be released end of October.

But he's alsoВ talking about:

- WhatВ HelloweenВ andВ Iron Maiden do have in common,
- his favourite OZZY guitarist,
- why the hell he's so fond of MUSE,
- about the other Geman bands - AcceptВ and ScorpionsВ and many more:

Here's an excerpt of the interview:

A LOT IS GOING ON WITH THE GERMAN METAL SCENE AT THE MOMENT. THE SCORPIONS FOR EXAMPLE - HAS THE THOUGHT OF ANNOUNCING A FAREWELL TOUR AND CALLING IT A DAY EVER CROSSED YOUR MINDS TOO?
We will not be doing a final tour yet and we'll probably have to go on. The Scorpions have existed since 67-68' while we still have some time ahead of us.

Due to the bad record contracts we used to have in the past we didn't get paid enough, so we still have to work for our retirement. We're not rich enough yet, we don't have Rolls Royces, we don't have castles yet, we still have to fight for our lives every day, so we have to go on because there's not a lot of other things we can do apart from music.

READ AND LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE INETRVIEW AT THIS LOCATION.
