Ok so the trip to Greece was indeed a bit interesting (knowing EXACTLY what happened n' why) but they got there, they had a KILLER time in Greece and they were stoked to play in front of rabid fans again.. and got home alot easier.. hehehe
I've spoken to Mid about the art ~ he's got the "itch" (if you're creative in any way, you know what I mean) and is impatient to start...
As far as his solo stuff, I like it ~ it's very HIM and the emotions he's able to portray with his voice get me every time... and knowing him helps me better understand his solo work... While in Cleveland at BWBK in '04, he and Ben did Lost Reflection in the hotel room we were all hangin' out in and later Mid did Boxes and Pain... To hear that voice reverberate in a small hotel room was great (the jam in the hotel's bar with the guys of Seven Witches was kewl too)... He & Ben invited us down to the PP event but unfortunately none of us could go... (I now kick myself every time I think of it, 'cause Edguy was there that year... I am OBSESSED with them.. hehehe)
I think the reunion will be just fine... and I do so look forward to hearing the new material
