Helloween - 2025 European Tour

And a London date on my birthday as well. Don't mind if I do

 

[Cronopio]

Damn. Need to get down to the backside (endearing euphemism for Gothenburg, used by East Coast Swedes) then.

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Going to try and make that London date

 

[Symphony]

Maybe we can make this date a bit of a "gathering of the clans" perhaps?

 

[Cronopio]

Sounds like a sweet idea.

Did you see that video of "Eagle Fly Free" from Budokan, Steve?

 

[Symphony]

Not yet Alex no - I'll have to check it out it seems

 

[Cronopio]

Here it is.

 

[Symphony]

Nice mate - thanks for sharing

 

[Cronopio]

They've still got it!

 

[Symphony]

Definitely! Talking of Halloween - I watched a podcast from Sea of Tranquility yesterday where they were discussing favourite and not so favourite Helloween albums, as opposed to the best albums. Very interesting watch/listen

Sea of Tranquility - UK Connection - Helloween

 

[Cronopio]

Let me guess - Chameleon still sucks? I like that album; something different all right. But I can see why it was poorly received at the time.

 

[Symphony]

Yeah that one and Pink Bubbles are somewhat easy targets I think. I actually quite like Pink Bubbles to be fair - I'd take that over Rabbit Don't Come Easy any day of the week.

Sea of Tranquility podcasts are generally very good and well worth checking out. The guys were always really supportive of PQ back in the day too which I always appreciated.

 

[Cronopio]

I'm with you on Pink Bubbles. Horrible artwork, though.

I know they like to berate "Windmill", nowadays more tongue-in-cheekily, I guess, but that is actually a pretty decent ballad.

I genuinely have liked that album in the past too, just best to go into it not expecting power metal

 

[Symphony]

Not long now til this. Watching the blu ray from Budokan has really whetted my appetite for this one.

Trying to get a few people along for this one in London - I know it is a Monday night/school night and all that, but dammit these things don't come along that often nowadays

 

[Symphony]

And talking of Helloween........good times, almost 20 years ago.

Bradford Rio ahh that brings back very happy memories of PQ and Pagans Mind
