Oliver Hartmann is definitely a solid choice. His material in support of Avantasia is so underrated. Unbelivable talent.
Tommy would be a great choice, as he can do the old stuff, and add something completely new to the band as well.
He's got the image that will work for the ladies as well. Just ask my wife.
Britt, funny you mention that, I also thought of him.
Am I the only one who thinks Silvio Massaro (Vanishing Point) would also be a good fit?

Andreas is not out of the picture, he is just here in the US (LA) doing some work for his company here in the US. He is still a huge part of SW.and from what I understand both the drummer and the (godly) bass player are out of the picture with the latter being the driving force behind the band
They posted on their forum that they have chosen a new drummer and will be making an official announcement soon.
Where do you get that Andreas B is 'out of the picture'? I've not heard/read anything of the sort, but that'd be terrible news if true.
I can't agree. Seventh Wonder definitely keeps growing and growing. People are spreading the word, new fans are made each day and sales are better with each album....To be honest I doubt we will see Seventh Wonder grow much beyond the point where they are now...
Although 2011 will be a rather quiet year for Seventh Wonder (not many shows) there's no need to be worried at all.
Andreas Blomqvist is not out of the picture at all!
The search for the new drummer and the fact that Andreas will be working in the USA for a year (and then return to Stockholm) has not been great timing - i.e. playing shows supporting the release of 'The Great Escape' - but it is only a minor set-back. Like miel said, they WILL headline ProgPower Europe on friday, indeed with Johan Larsson and the new drummer.
If things work out the right way, there might be an 'Italian tour' as well!

I'm convinced the guys will have fantastic new ideas for the next album when they start rehearsing again in february/march next year.
Regarding Tommy, I think the tour with Kamelot is a great opportunity and experience for him as a singer and indirectly for Seventh Wonder as well (exposure).
I do not want him to leave Seventh Wonder. Kamelot is a nice band, but that's it - no competition at all to SW in my book.
