I would like to apologize for being better than you all....actually scratch that, I am still greater than you all. I'm just sorry your parents conceived you low life scumbags

No worries Dio. My conception was a complete accident, so being compared to someone whose mother and father actualy tried to have a child but only ended up with you is fine by me.

Yo!
Back from Avantasia... no, not really. I won't be able to escape from this place for a while now, I can tell you.
This thing is more than a Tobias Sammet solo project, more than a concept album, more than a dozen Metal tracks telling a story.
My inner picture of the mastermind transformed from a genius to some kind of demi-god, but that's not important at all, is it?
And neither is my new Edguy poster with an uber cool and utterly adorable jumping Tobi in the middle.
Speaking of which, is it true that I'm too old to stick posters to my walls? I really need some opinions there to put that old hag (mother) to silence once and for all. [/rant]
I finally found that picture of Tobi I had been searching for. It was on the frst page of the Avantasia booklet and I scanned it in myself, that's why it looks so crappy.
This picture is from 2000, which means that it shows Sammet the genius at the age of twenty-three. The way he looks at the camera is so... *stares* Mind you, the first one to yell "He looks like a girl" will be fried. And what about his signature? It's cool, don't you think? Really fits him ^_^
It's just mad that when Tobi did Avantasia part one, he was my age. That makes the whole impressing beyond any description.
[Gabriel:]
Open my eyes
And see my bleeding wounded hands...
Feeling the pain too hard to stand. To stand...
Caught in the 'now and here'
While they are on the way
Hiding imagination, leading us astray...
[Lugaid:]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll
Leading to the core of your soul
[Gabriel (along to the voices in his head):]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia
Avantasia...
[Gabriel:]
Walking along the icy gallery of pain
Tell me now: What can keep the flame alive?
Lack of imagination - Raising up the tower
Where they hold our souls
To take away the power
[Lugaid:]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll
Leading to the core of your soul
[Gabriel:]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia
Oh - Avantasia - Oh
Oh - I hear the voices - Oh - Yeah
Oh - Into the light - Into the light
Oh - Avantasia... Oh...
