Tobias Sammet´S AVANTASIA - MOONGLOW WORLD TOUR 2019 Tobias Sammet´s AVANTASIA - MOONGLOW WORLD TOUR 2019 Deutschlands international erfolgreichstes Symphonic-Rock-Event kommt 2019 mit neuem Album MOONGLOW im Gepäck auf Welttournee Nach dem enormen Erfolg seiner „Ghostlights World Tour 2016/2017", die nach ausverkauften Konzerten in Asien, Amerika und Europa mit der live im TV ausgestrahlten Headlinershow auf dem letztjährigen Wacken:Open:Air in seiner deutschen Heimat abgeschlossen wurde, geht TOBIAS SAMMET´S AVANTASIA im nächsten Jahr wieder auf Welttournee, um sein im Januar 2019 erscheinendes Album „MOONGLOW“ zu präsentieren. Das einzigartige Konzerterlebnis zwischen Bombast, Rock und Oper konnte in den letzten Jahren über 1,2 Millionen Menschen rund um den Globus begeistern und wird nun in einer noch opulenteren Show, bei der sich Tobias Sammet die Bühne mit den weltbesten Rocksängern teilt, eine einmalige Atmosphäre bieten. Mit über 3,5 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern zählt der aus Fulda stammende Tobias Sammet, der das Rockevent AVANTASIA 1999 erschaffen und 2008 erstmals live präsentierte, zu den international erfolgreichsten Musikern Deutschlands und arbeitete bereits mit Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine und Rudolf Schenker (The Scorpions), Bruce Kulick und Eric Singer (KISS), Eric Martin (Mr. Big) sowie vielen weiteren Größen aus dem internationalen Musikbusiness zusammen. Lange galt Tobias Sammet’s AVANTASIA als Geheimtipp. Doch nach unzähligen Auftritten als Headliner auf den weltgrößten Rockfestivals (Sweden Rock Festival, Quebec Music Festival, Barcelona Rock u.a.), Goldauszeichnungen und mehreren Top-10-Platzierungen in den weltweiten Charts, ist die bevorstehende AVANTASIA - MOONGLOW WORLD TOUR 2019: DAS ROCKEVENT DES JAHRES! Tobias Sammet: "Ich wollte es in den letzten 18 Monaten eigentlich etwas ruhiger angehen. Aber am besten scheine ich zu entspannen, wenn ich kreativ bin. Jedenfalls sind mir im Rahmen dieser Phase wahnsinnig viele Ideen zugeflogen, die danach schrien, in der vollen epischen Breite AVANTASIAs gemeinsam mit den besten Sängern der Welt produziert zu werden. Ich war so überzeugt von den Songs, dass mir sehr schnell klar war: wenn es jemals ein neues AVANTASIA-Kapitel geben soll, dann mit diesem Material - vorbei an allen Trends und den Vorgaben der Musikindustrie, handgemacht und persönlich, epische 10-Minuten- Stücke neben eingängigen Rocksongs; entstanden aus dem echtesten Beweggrund: nämlich großartige Musik zu machen! Ohne dass irgendwelche Business-Heinis ihren Senf dazugeben und alles nachher mundgerecht in die Unterhaltungslandschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts passt. MOONGLOW wird das aufwändigste Album meiner Karriere; der größte, bunteste, besteste und unvernünftigste Luxus, den ich mir je in meinem Leben geleistet habe. Und ich kann es kaum erwarten, das Album im Januar zu veröffentlichen und im Anschluss daran die MOONGLOW WORLD TOUR mit der größten Show, die AVANTASIA jemals auf die Bühne gebracht hat, einmal um den gesamten Globus zu tragen!" .

  • SCORPIONS Lovedrive (Hard Rock)
    SCORPIONS Lovedrive (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 1979 Nombre de pistes : 8 Durée : 37' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! Bon voyage ! Avec Lovedrive, SCORPIONS entame la plus extraordinaire trilogie discographique jamais enregistrée par un groupe de Rock allemand. Sans doute est-ce dû au succès rencontré par la tournée mondiale d’où fut tiré le splendide live Tokyo Tapes et qui a enfin apporté une crédibilité internationale aux arthropodes.Sans doute également l’intégration du jeune guitariste Matthias JABS (remplaçant l’excentrique Uli John ROTH, parti fonder ELECTRIC SUN, bien que l’on ressente encore parfois son apport musical) a-t-elle eu une influence sur le résultat final. Sans doute, encore, est-ce le fait de changer de label, passant de RCA à EMI. Sans doute, enfin, que la nationalité même du groupe fut un rempart contre le Punk qui a dévasté les plus grands noms de l’époque. Les conseils du producteur Dieter DIERKS expliquent également certainement le succès fulgurant remporté par ce cinquième album studio des SCORPIONS. Tout autant que la pochette (signée par l’avant-gardiste Hipgnosis) qui, une nouvelle fois (après celle fort décriée et aujourd’hui introuvable de Virgin Killer) fait jaser.

  • Beyond the Black Are Most Certainly That. You're in Doubt?
    Lost in Forever - LIVE Stratospheric? Beyond The Black are most certainly that. You’re in doubt? Let’s explain… …Only two years ago, dynamic frontwoman and world-class vocalist Jennifer Haben and her band colleagues celebrated their live debut on stage at the legendary Wacken Open Air 2014. A few months later they were supporting the legendary SAXON on their UK tour. On February 13th 2015 the band released their debut full-length album Songs of Love and Death, which hit the German top 20 album charts, and which was produced by melodic metal maestro Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Edguy, Epica, Kamelot, Rhapsody). You’ve probably already guessed that the album was royally received throughout Europe, with Haben establishing herself as one of the leading voices in hard rock and metal music. Beyond The Black continued to conquer the road. They played their own headliner tour in spring and autumn 2015, and featured at several of Germany’s biggest rock & metal- festivals. Momentum is beautiful thing; Beyond The Black supported Queensrÿche in Holland and Within Temptation in Switzerland, and their incredible ascent culminated in them receiving the “Best Debut Album 2015” Metal Hammer Award.

  • Die Rockband Scorpions
    DIE ROCKBAND SCORPIONS Seit den 70er Jahren steht die deutsche Rockband Scorpions auf der Bühne. Hits wie "Rock You Like a Hurricane" oder "Wind of Change" machten sie weltberühmt. Eine Aus- stellung des "Rock und Pop Museums" in Gronau blickt jetzt auf die 40-jährige Bandge- schichte zurück. MANUSKRIPT SPRECHERIN: "Rock You Like a Hurricane" – ein Klassiker von den Scorpions. "Rock You Like A Hurri- cane" – das ist auch der Titel der Ausstellung über die Scorpions. Das "Rock und Pop Mu- seum" im nordrhein-westfälischen Gronau dokumentiert das Lebenswerk der Band, die auszog , um Geschichte zu schreiben. KLAUS MEINE (Sänger der Scorpions): Wenn man durch die Ausstellung geht, dann füllen sich diese 40 Jahre mit Leben, an so vielen Zeitabschnitten und mit so vielen Dokumenten. SPRECHERIN: Auf 650 Quadratmetern zeigt das Museum Exponate aus vier Jahrzehnten, darunter Bühnen-Outfits , Plakate legendärer Konzerte, bisher nie gezeigte Fotos, Musikinstru- mente, Gold - und Platinplatten sowie Filme aus der Anfangszeit. KLAUS MEINE: Das waren wirklich Jahre, die die Foundation gelegt haben, den Grund gelegt haben für eine spätere Weltkarriere, wo man wirklich … wo man gespürt hat, da sind die richtigen Leute zusammen, da ist die … die Chemie ist stark, das sind alles Musiker, die wirklich bereit sind, alles dafür zu geben und wirklich diesen Traum zu leben . SPRECHERIN: Der Traum beginnt Mitte der 60er Jahre, als Schüler eine Band in der Nähe von Hannover gründen. Die Musiker um Gitarrist Rudolf Schenker, hier ganz rechts im Bild, sind von der englischen Beat- und Rockmusik infiziert. Wie ihre Vorbilder – die Rolling Stones oder die Small Faces – wollen sie hoch hinaus .

  • PK 2 Hamburg Beatles History.Pdf (253.4
    MEDIA INFORMATION NO HAMBURG, NO BEATLES: THE HISTORY OF THE FAB FOUR IN HAMBURG From the evolution of the Hamburg Sound to today’s club scene On 17 August 1960, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best played their first gig at the Indra Club in the legendary St Pauli district of Hamburg. Mark Lewisohn, the acclaimed Beatles author, aptly commented “No Hamburg, no Beatles”. The Beatles, some of whom were still minors in the beginning, spent two years in Hamburg, with only a few breaks in between. Here, they laid the foundations for their global career. Following their debut in 1960, the Beatles played in Hamburg more often than anywhere else in the world – with 300 concerts, five contracts with four different music clubs, and about 1,200 hours spent on Hamburg stages. John Lennon once said “I grew up in Liverpool but I came of age in Hamburg”, and this is arguably the story of the Beatles in Hamburg in a nutshell. It all began with a shock. When The Beatles got their first engagement in Hamburg on the 17th of August 1960, they where full of anticipation. The Hanseatic City was considered to be the perfect place to make good money by giging. And the Reeperbahn was the incarnation of adventure for those naive from Liverpool. Where nowadays countless cutting-edge music clubs line the neon bright streets, back in the day, the audience craved for all night entertainment – especially for exciting music, such as Rock‘n‘Roll and it‘s British exports.

  • EPICA „Requiem for the Indifferent“
    EPICA „Requiem For The Indifferent“ VÖ: 09.03.2012 Line up: Epica Online: Simone Simons – Vocals www.epica.nl Mark Jansen – Guitars & Vocals www.facebook.com/epica Coen Janssen – Synths & Piano Isaac Delahaye - Guitars Arien van Weesenbeek – Drums Yves Huts - Bass Ever since EPICA emerged on the scene at the end of 2002, the band has been living in a whirlwind of studio recordings, interviews, screaming fans, live performances and a rock 'n roll lifestyle. With every new album EPICA pushes the boundaries by reinventing their distinctive style, and nothing seems to stop the band on their rise to the top. With their previous record ‘Design Your Universe’, seen by many as a true milestone in bombastic and symphonic metal, EPICA seemed to have found the perfect musical mixture between classical and heavy music. The album entered the charts everywhere and consolidated their position among the top of today’s metal acts. An extensive tour marathon with over 200 headlining shows allover the globe proved both their ambition and their success. This time EPICA once again raises the bar with their fifth album called 'Requiem of the Indifferent’. Full of trademark hymns, significant lyrics, powerful guitar riffing alternated with cinematic interludes, Simone Simons’ angelic voice, it is a very logical step after ‘Design Your Universe’. Again it is an album which has to grow on the listener, so make sure to give it a couple of spins to get the whole picture. As with every album, EPICA mixes hard, technical and fast with intimate and slow, with as good as everything in between.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • AVANTASIA 18. April 2013 Ludwigsburg MHP Arena Mystery
    AVANTASIA 18. April 2013 Ludwigsburg MHP Arena Mystery World Tour Was viele nicht für möglich gehalten haben, wird im April 2013 nach langer Planung nun doch Wirklichkeit: Tobias Sammet hat sein Allstar-Projekt AVANTASIA wieder mobilisiert, um mit dem im März erscheinenden neuen Album "The Mystery Of Time" im Gepäck zu einem monumentalen Unterfangen, der „Mystery World Tour“, aufzubrechen. In wenigen ausgewählten Städten rund um den Globus werden AVANTASIA, bestehend aus einigen bereits von der letzten Tour bekannten Gaststars, aber auch großen Überraschungen, die einmalige AVANTASIA-Magie auf die Bühnen bringen. Weil Tobias und sein Starensemble sich allen Epochen der Bandhistorie - dem neuen Album, den Hits der Alben jüngerer Vergangenheit, aber selbstverständlich auch den Frühwerken - ausgiebig widmen und demenstprechend viele Stücke präsentieren wollen, werden AVANTASIA - zumindest bei der eigenen Hallentour - drei Stunden (!!!) spielen. Für die exklusiven Festival-Shows im Sommer wird die Band dann ein knapperes Best-Of-Programm mit Fokus auf dem aktuellen Album spielen. Über Tobias Sammet Mit über drei Millionen verkaufter Tonträger, über 600 Konzerten in fast vierzig Ländern in Asien, Nord-, Süd- und Mittelamerika, Australien und Europa gehört der Fuldaer Sänger und Komponist Tobias Sammet zu den international erfolgreichsten Musikern, die in den letzten Jahren aus der deutschen Musiklandschaft hervorgingen. Ob mit der 1992 von ihm gegründeten Band Edguy oder seinem Rockopern-Projekt „Tobias Sammet‘s Avantasia“, bei dem er in den vergangenen Jahren im Studio ua. mit solch renommierten Musikern wie Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine und Rudolf Schenker von den Scorpions und Mitgliedern der legendären US-Band Kiss gearbeitet hat - sämtliche seiner jüngsten Veröffentlichungen belegten Plätze in den Top-10 der weltweiten Albumcharts.
