MICHAEL KISKE Says New Solo Release "Will Be Finished Soon"
MICHAEL KISKE (UNISONIC, ex-HELLOWEEN) recently answered a few questions regarding his solo work and Unisonic activities for the Michael Kiske Fanclub. See below.
Q: Can you please give us an update about your upcoming solo album? Did you already start working with (guitarist) Sandro (Giampietro) on it? When do you plan to start the recordings?
A: "I will start vocals for it this week; so the album will be finished soon. It’s not so much a solo record, it’s a new thing with Sandro and me, we do all together. I was surprised how good it works to have Sandro producing it."
Q: Please give us a little tour summary (South America, Festivals, Asia and Spain-Germany). What were your best/worst moments? Maybe you experienced also some funny things? How did you feel when you lost your voice in Hamburg?
A: "We can not complain about the reactions all over the world; even in places where GOTTHARD was headlining, the whole venue was singing our songs. Actually Germany was sort of the more ”silent-gourmets”… Not bad, but not at all as much of a party as everywhere else. Most people came for Gotthard, while in other countries we had many fans showing up for us. Over hear in my own country we still have a lot of work to do, I guess. It was generally a good year especially for me. I finally got fully back into the whole thing again and I am now ready for more. The band got a good feel about itself and we can move on from here with hopefully better records.
When I lost my voice in Hamburg, I wasn’t in a good mood before the show already, because I knew I was getting very sick. I just knew it was not just a little cold. While I was warming up the voice before the show with some ELVIS tunes, I realized: it’s not going to work this time, because the voice died on me already then… On stage I took it pretty good, because... what can you do? A caught a real infection, there is really nothing you can do, so I tried to make the best out the situation. When the voice died in the third song, I left the stage and joined the crowd to take photos with them and sign autographs, while Kai was doing some singing. The next days I had 40 fever and even NOW, after 6 weeks, I’m still having it a bit in my bronchium. Sucks especially when this happens in your hometown, but sometimes life is just a bitch. It’s a situation I had to re-learn to live with too.
Q: Do you think Unisonic will play some festivals in the summer, or you will be very busy with other activities?
A: "Both. I am sure we will do at least a little bit, but we will also be busy with the next album."
