And...more mistakes

The following Video interviews should be placed in the Audio interview section:

2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe1vwiD_9_M (Michael Kiske interview Helloween- Never asked to replace Bruce...)
2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Hcby1mfks (MICHAEL KISKE & AMANDA SOMERVILLE Discuss 'City Of Heroes'...)

Finally the following interview link should be replaced (the video resolution is bad & the other is the official one):

2013: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGi80mgblkM (old link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiGjXnm2-_4 (new official link)

[nightangel]

new interviews added, mistakes corrected and better version video added.

It may take a little more time to add all things since I'm still not 100% healthy.

Finally a new and long Audio Interview with Kiske, in English/Spanish:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOpR-ul_DRY

Michael speaks mostly about the Helloween reunion tour but there are also some interesting questions about other things. He mentions that he will stop doing projects (like Place Vendome & Kiske/Somerville) and that he wants to do another Unisonic album , maybe a little touring with Avantasia and perhaps an acoustic solo album and an Elvis cover album in the future.

A long Interview in Spanish with some interesting news:

https://mariskalrock.com/entrevistas/en ... mocratica/

About a possible new album with Unisonic :

"It is possible, perhaps in one or two years, it will also depend on the availability of Dennis. It is a possibility that I do not rule out and very feasible, but not at the moment."

About Place Vendome:

"Place Vendome is something that I have parked for a long time and that for the moment I do not plan to recover. I do not say no to the possibility of doing new things with Kai and Dennis with Unisonic and also not to do them with Tobias and Avantasia and even with Amanda, but that is not the case with Place Vendome."

About Avantasia:

"At the moment there are no plans for it, but of course when I am with Avantasia I have a great time and I really like the collaborations I do. Now I am too busy with everything related to Helloween, but if Tobias proposes it to me, and I can combine it, I think I would participate in Avantasia again. On the other hand, I also have to tell you that the tours with Avantasia are quite heavy, since being two months in a row playing non-stop is a very important beating. In that sense I prefer what we were doing with Helloween now, which was to play two weeks and rest for a while, even so, if Tobias wanted to count on me and the circumstances allowed it, I wouldn't mind continuing to collaborate with Avantasia."

About the Helloween reunion tour he states that his favorite show was:

"Wacken was the most extraordinary of all. I don't know why, but the feelings I had in Wacken were super intense. For me at Wacken everything was enormously special: the show, the atmosphere, the audience, the communication between the band ... The audience and everything in the environment had such a positive energy that it left me in a kind of trance. That was a concert that I will never forget personally."

About a possible Elvis tribute album:

"At the moment I am focusing on Helloween and although it is true that I am a big fan of Elvis, I am in no hurry to record that tribute. Maybe next year I can do it and maybe do it acoustically. I do not know…"
