And although it seemed to be impossible to bring the project onto the stage after an extensive preparatory time Avantasia headlined some of the biggest summer festivals in 2008. To this day many fans recall the Avantasia live shows a magical once-in-a-lifetime concert experience.

At the end of the year a huge allstar ensemble will hit the road to bring Avantasia on stage once more. The first six shows are now confirmed, and more dates will follow.

Maggie Bloodstone: Well, first thing we would love to know is: When can we expect you in America?

Richard Kruspe: Good question. [Laughs.] Actually, we talked about it today, a lot. What we plan to do right now, is a lot of things – we’re not 20 anymore, so things have changed for us. At the moment, it looks like America is the only market where we cannot provide the same show as we play in the rest of the world. [1, see footnotes at the end of the article] So, we have to be balanced, like, what makes financial sense? One of my dreams is Madison Square Garden – just to play one show and to feel out, like, if there is a need for us, are people waiting for us, what can we do, what would be the next step? It can change, nothing is set in stone, nothing is confirmed, but we’ve talked about what’s the best thing, so the fans are happy and the band is happy. But I’m a big supporter of the American market.

T. H. : Thanks fine.

M.: Are you enjoying Los Angeles?

Bill : Oh, we have a great time. We went to the town and had a really good time. It was really cool.

M.: Tell us which town do you prefer? New York or Los Angeles?

Bill: It is nice to come from New York to Los Angeles and enjoy nice weather but I like both of them. I can’t decide. My dream is to have a flat in New York and a house in Los Angeles.

M.: We are really happy that we are having you here in the USA. You made some shoots yesterday for a really big magazine.  Tell us something about that?

Bill : It was great. We were making shoot for about two hours with a really nice guy. And we have some really great pictures.

M.: I have some questions for you from your fans. They sent us some. So first question is : When you record love songs from where do you get inspiration? Is it something that happened to you or is it something that you want to happen or is it something about other people?

Bill.: I think it is about all of us. I haven’t  had any relationship for five years. But George is in a relationship. He has a girlfriend. So that’s it.

M.: When you are performing on stage do you prefer singing  in German or in English?

Bill.: I think we like to mix it up. Yes we mix everything. And it also depends on the day.

M.: For the first time ever we were able to issued a German version  of your album here in the USA. So we are really proud.

Bill.: Oh, thats cool.

M.:  O.K. next question. If you had a day off guys and you could do whatever you want to do with no security where would you go and what would you do?

Tom: I would go for ice cream and then later probably to the cinema.

M. : When you were young and still in school how did you handle with pushing around by older guys?

Bill : We didn’t have such problem. We were all the time together . It was good to have a family member standing next to you.

M.: Do you want to stay in the music business for the rest of your life or you want to do something else in the future?

Bill. : I think we want to stay in a music business. We have a lot of plans. We want to go to Tokio, make a lot of new records and play new gigs.

M. : Did you expect such a big success when you came to the music business?

Bill: No, no at all. We dreamed about that but we didn’t expect it at all. We were borned in a small village and there was no music scene. We really had a luck.

M.: And you did it because you enjoyed it.

Bill.: Yes we used to play in a small clubs in front of five,ten people.

M.: What do you feel on the stage  when you see your fans singing along?

Bill.: That is the best feeling you can have as a musician. Everything is just about playing live, being on stage and feel our fans. And when we played some German songs in America it was simply incredible. But it is hard to describe. You have to experience it.

M.: And the last question. What is your favorite song from the album?

Bill.: I like Automatic and older songs.

M. : Ok guys thank you for everything. See you soon.

T.K.: Bye.
