 EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet has announced that Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker and Alice Cooper will appear as guest musicians on his forthcoming AVANTASIA project. This is what he had to say:
Tobias (AVANTASIA, EDGUY): "I am really proud and grateful to have Rudolf and Alice as guests on the album. I am glad Rudolf finally managed to do it as the Scorpions have been so busy promoting their new album "Humanity Hour1" which I think is their best since 1987. We had to re-schedule the session once and finally we worked things out catching up backstage in Slovakia during a Scorpions/Edguy show. And what can I say about Alice Cooper? He is a unique American legend! Everybody knows him and all I can say is: I ain't worthy, I ain't worthy! The role he's sung suits him perfectly! Both Rudolf and Alice - did great performances and I am truely blessed to have won them as special guests for my album!"
Also starring on Avantasia so far: Sascha Paeth, Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper), Miro, Michael Kiske, Jorn Lande (ex-Masterplan), Bob Catley (Magnum) and Amanda Somerville.
Lost In Space Part 1 & 2 is due to be released on October 19th.
In other news, it has been announced that AVANTASIA will headline Wacken Open Air in 2008 along side Iron Maiden and Children Of Bodom. More on the news later...
