My favourite songs from Tinnitus Sanctus are Nine Lives and Aren't You A Little Pervert Too?!
When I saw them live in january 2009 I hadn't heard the Tinnitus Sanctus album yet, so I didn't know the songs, but Nine Lives made me sing along to it the first time I heard it, and it stuck... really like that one

Maybe it's not their best album, but it's a good album...

King of Fools!!!

I like Edguy very much although I must say that the older albums are better than the last ones.
Edguy is one of the best live bands I knew...Toby, the singer, is very funny and brilliant on stage. Last time I saw them live they started playing Hearts on Fire because Toby found an old Hammerfall setlist on stage

^that's awesome. The guy's really original on stage. At the Rhapsody forum someone posted a video where Tobi found a mini piano on the stage and he started to play a Bon Jovi intro on it and they played the full song. And when they where in Sweden and they knew about HF members watching, they played a sample of Let the Hammer Fall.

But I must say that I'm a bit worried about their future musical direction. So far I only own Mandrake and Hellfire Club, and I find especially the latter super awesome. I'll give the older albums a listen later this month (and maybe buy Hall of Flames), but I already tried a considerable amount of songs of their two latest efforts, Rocket Ride and Tinnitus Sanctus. For some reason, it sounds totally boring to me, really uninspired and unmemorable, with only 2 or 3 exceptions.

And please note that I don't really mind a change of genre, because the genre that Edguy could be called now also appeals to me. But somehow I still find Avantasia awesome, even though it's from the same mastermind.

The best song ever, "Life and Times of a Bonus track" it's the last song on the single of King of Fools. The song is hilarious!
I also really like New Age Messiahs..."Who the fuck is Jesus?" Sometimes I wonder if Tobi suffers from megalomania!

No. Nothing wrong with the Tobi.

What to say about Tobi? Avantasia and Edguy are one of the best power metal bands ever!

Avantasia is still metal, for the most part - agreed. But Edguy, from what I've heard from Tinnitus Sanctus, they're not metal anymore. Hard Rock at best. Strange when you realise that only 4 years before TS Edguy made a song like Mysteria...

*prepares to contradict himself*


I recently gave much of the tracks of those albums another listen (somehow I keep returning doing that again). This time I realised that I quite liked it. So now Tinnitus Sanctus is on discount, I might pick it up somewhere.


After listening songs from TS, I have to say that there's quite a few metal songs on them. Especially Speedhoven, everyone who calls a song like that with double bass drumming not metal, is either deaf or stupid.

Speedhoven is one of my favourites!
