Michael Kiske的新聞又一則~
as title....
不是打棒球呢，又是Kiske。XDXDXD
Former HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske has responded to the negative feedback
by some metal fans to his announcement that he will rearrange and re-record
all of the songs that he wrote with his former band for an upcoming CD, to be
released next year through Frontiers Records.
When asked by a fan named Deborah Schwichtenberg what he thinks of people who
are criticizing his decision to re-record the HELLOWEEN classics, claiming
that Kiske "used to eat from HELLOWEEN's songs" before slamming them in the
press and now once again wanting to "eat" from HELLOWEEN by selling new
recordings of their material, Kiske responded, "I don't give a hack about
this! Unfortunately, the metal world is full of people who bark and complain
and bark and complain forever anyway, no matter what I do. They will always
search for reasons to cry.
"I was part of that band, so I didn't just 'eat' from them. That's a very
weird way of thinking. I was BUILDING the band together with the original
members, and no one can forbid me to re-record acoustic versions of MY OWN
music. I don't think I have to ask 'metal popes' for their permission to do
that at all. Those are MY songs — if I feel like doing this, I do it anyway!
"The good first HELLOWEEN years (with Kai Hansen) were also absolutely great;
I don't reject them at all! And I think it was a good idea from Serafino
(Frontiers Records) to give my songs of the past a new acoustic sound that
fits me today. Because on one hand this shows that I don't reject my past;
and on the other hand, it can also give some (more open and intelligent)
people another perspective at those songs. And if anyone doesn't like that
idea. no one forces him or her to listen to it! These new recordings will NOT
AT ALL sound like HELLOWEEN or metal, so it is VERY stupid to put it the way
some do. I have already started to go through some arrangements, and it's big
fun; I'm really excited about it. Those early songs of mine were not so bad
at all, and they work great as acoustics.
"Unfortunately, Deborah, metal these days means a lot of negativity,
dogmatism and art-enemy mentalities. They really believe THEY have to tell
musicians what they are 'allowed' to do or not (as you can see again). And
they can also only look at everything from a negative and destructive angle;
they will always put everything in a way so they can slander around about it.
They just can't help it! And a lot of them don't even understand what I am
talking about, when I'm explaining my ways of thinking. They also
intentionally mix things up which are separate issues.
"I don't really say anything bad about Helloween. I had my problems with one
particular person in there, and sometimes I have to defend myself a bit
because of things this particular person (successfully) likes to spread about
me, but I enjoyed the first years a lot! The reason for this hatred is that I
name what is wrong and sick about today's heavy metal scene; and THAT'S
really what many are so pissed about! The metal spirit tries to dictate laws
for thinking and music, and if you don't follow those laws, you 'betray'
them. But that spirit IS a pure betrayal of freedom in itself. So to be true
to yourself, you've got to 'betray' that dogmatism sooner or later.
"This is actually a big part of WHY I can't stand this scene anymore. They
can't handle someone like me anyway. I disagree with the typical metal
ideologies in so many ways, and I'm not afraid to speak my mind about it; and
that's enough for many to go against someone like me. They simply don't LIKE
how I think, Deborah, so they will always find reasons to talk dirty against
me. Who cares! But I'm always newly surprised again about the reactions of
certain smart-asses there; about what they cherish and what they condemn. I
can't see at all where my 'crime' is supposed to be here? I thought (think)
this acoustic album of my past is a nice idea, which should cause some
excitement and maybe even some peace, but many minds obviously function in
different ways. But they won't have any effect on what I am doing anyway;
that's for sure; I won't allow that. And my friends are going to enjoy this.
"I am slowly building my own fan base now, and I don't really need to know
about all the nonsense certain jerks like to spread about me. They can fuck
off! And you shouldn't let this get to you either, Deborah. Believe me: it
ain't worth it! I'm trying to lead a pretty clean life. I'm not a perfect
man, but I'm always straightforward and honest; so who are those a-holes to
teach me morals?! ... They certainly don't stand for MY morals!"
Michael Kiske's latest solo album, simply entitled "Kiske", was released in
May via Frontiers Records.
