Actually I hope that he tours with Place Vendome at some point. I really like this stuff. Especially the new album.

Considering that he hasn't toured since 93 those prospects do not look too good.

True, but it's all hanging on what he "might" do.

I might win a million dollars.

I actually like Kiske maybe 'cause I feel the band was also better back when he was the singer, it could just be a casuality, however in my opinion the whole band used to work amazing specially until Hansen left.
The atmosphere was great, and even if I don't consider myself a metal-head I can't but enjoy a lot those early helloween performances.
There is a bootleg that in my opinion reflects the abilities of Kiske as a vocalist as well as the good frontman he was (in my opinion).

But if you want to keep only a good image in your mind, stop the video at 05:25, because what comes later is not that good.

Okay, maybe back when he wasn't completly Anti-Metal he enjoyed playing on stage, but from PBGA Tour on he doesn't seem to enjoy it at all.

But then again, maybe I just won't acknowledge his abilitys because I just can't stand the fucking guy.

Mehida:I'm not going to slam on you for liking the guy, it's fine and it's your choice, however most of us here like the band as it is now, and that is our choice.

On the "Iced Pumpkin" bootleg from 1988 Kiske sounds awesome, it was probably when he was at his best, but then on the "Chameleon In The East" - he sounds so bored it's almost pathetic :?

He shot the clown in Vegas just to get in the clowns pants. He then shot the sheriff but he did not shoot the deputy
