BRAINSTORM Guitarist Checks In Guitarist
Torsten "Todde" Ihlenfeld from German power metallers
BRAINSTORM has issued the following update:
"Hi Brainiacs, the Braintrain rolled through Europe on full steam and we are back home now preparing for the summer festivals and more shows in the fall (see picture collage). Let me say that this tour really was a blast - and so typical for Brainstorm with all the hassle in the run-up for the tour such as the re-booking of some dates due to reasons beyond our control... the whole band starting the tour with a flu, lost cymbals, some serious food poisoning, all the usual
SPINAL TAP tour adventures and not to forget myself, as I had to sit out some dates of the tour due to very important and serious family issues that beared no delay. Having said that, I would like to thank our good friend and guitar-wizard Tom Naumann for helping out here on guitars and doing an amazing job in filling in for me on the dates that I unfortunately had to miss. You delivered the goods, brother! Thanks a lot.
Also, Toni (Ieva) did an amazing job on bass as well, that guy really knows how to groove, so thanks for the warm welcome you Brainiacs gave both killer-bumble-Bs, Toni and Tom. Please find some first pictures here for your viewing pleasure and watch out for more pics and some personal words and views reflecting the tour from each of us soon. To all you Brainiacs out there, thanks for a great tour, you rule! See you on the summer festivals!!!"
