Je dirai même plus:

C'est du pur fan service (même dans les paroles qui reprennent des noms de morceaux j'ai l'impression) mais c'est du bon !
Y a même Kai Hansen qui chante, non ? :huh?:

Edith balance le communiqué officiel du groupe, avec des chiffres fous:

Helloween a écrit:WHOA.

The PUMPKINS UNITED WORLD TOUR is going to be raw awesomeness! The news of Andi, Michi, Kai, Weiki, Sascha, Markus, and Dani turning in a unique premiere and entering the stage together has struck like a bombshell. Allow us to briefly show off with some numbers: The Super Tour, with plenty of dates being sold out for a while now, will be witnessed by more than 10,000 in Mexico City, 16,000 Brazilians will be rocking out in Sao Paulo, 9,000 have checked in at Santiago de Chile while in Stuttgart there’ll be 6,000; 8,000 can’t wait until the Milan show and finally there will be ultimate mayhem at the mega highlights in Prague with 12,000 tickets sold as well as in Madrid with, believe it or not, 14,000 (!) Spanish Pumpkinheads. No wonder, the metal press features hardly any other band in its cover stories and the world’s biggest metal mag “BURRN!” dedicates an unbelievable 41-page spread to PUMPKINS UNITED. This world tour will be forever unforgettable for the entire band and far more than 100,000 HELLOWEEN maniacs all over the planet.

WHAT?!

As we all know, HELLOWEEN is addictive – and so the boys can’t wait for the tour to start either and are releasing yet another sensational announcement while hunkering down in the rehearsal room: PUMPKINS UNITED are not only preparing to share the live stage, but have also written and recorded an exclusive song together. This year, Christmas and New Year’s eve happen in October, because the aptly titled track “PUMPKINS UNITED” blends everything that has made this band world-famous and a true trailblazer of an own sub genre: power guitar riffs, three-part guitar solos, double bass thunderstorms, and melodic-anthemic choruses soaring above all else, performed by all three singers of the band’s history! So this track is all about maximum “UNITED feeling” and a dream hardly anyone thought would come true. And now for the cherry on top: As a thank you to all fans for a quarter of a century of HELLOWEEN mania and decades of loyalty, “PUMPKINS UNITED” will be available via www.helloween.org from October 13 as a FREE DOWNLOAD!

WHO-HOO!

PUMPKINS UNITED airlines is ready for take-off: Tour riders have been sent long since, the crew is loading the flight cases, the new track is on repeat, and the boys are properly pumped up because the eagerly awaited kick-off in Mexico on October 19 is just around the corner now. But whether you have tickets or not: We highly recommend to stay tuned – for who knows where this unbelievable PUMPKINS UNITED journey will lead to from here ...

C'est clair que ça racole bien ("We wake up the mountain", "By Dr. Stein brought back to life", "We're riding the sky"), sinon, c'est du Helloween récent tout ce qui a de plus classique.

S'ils arrivent à se mettre d'accord pour un album commun, ce sera un magnifique coup marketing. Mais si c'est du même tonneau que ça, sans moi.

par Dark S. Sam 14 Oct 2017, 11:57

Pas d'accord, on ressent bien la patte de Kai Hansen dans le son, certaines mélodies et riffs, sans évidemment parler du chant. Le refrain par contre il est vrai ne détonne guère du Helloween récent. Après, hein, c'est clairement pas un chef d'oeuvre mais bon rien d'étonnant de la part de mecs rincés depuis plusieurs années.

par Pietro Sam 14 Oct 2017, 15:35

La même avec les paroles:

Pour moi qui ai un peu décroché du groupe récemment, c'est leur meilleur morceau depuis longtemps ! :bmbeer:

par Dark S. Sam 14 Oct 2017, 20:04

C'est clair que c'est meilleur que n'importe quel morceau du dernier album.

Des vidéos: HELLOWEEN Plays First Reunion Show With MICHAEL KISKE, KAI HANSEN (Video)

par dupinguez Lun 23 Oct 2017, 11:24

Kiske va pas tenir longtemps... En rechantant les titres il a du se dire "mais merde, pourquoi on a fait des lignes de chant aussi aigues bordel!!"

Michael Kiske Health Issues!
With regret we have to announce that Michael Kiske has voice problems, caused by our tiring travel schedule.
He gave his best during the first two shows in Mexico, but after consulting a doctor he was told his voice needs to rest.
We thought about cancelling tomorrow´s show in San Jose, Costa Rica, but HELLOWEEN and especially Michael don´t want to let the fans down. We know that many of you have anticipated this for a long time and made many sacrifices to attend our show!
Having this in mind, we decided to strip down the setlist so we can continue the tour.
Michael is eager to perform for the fans in San Jose, but unfortunately his participation will depend on tomorrows medical advice.
Thank you for your understanding!

HELLOWEEN's KAI HANSEN Admits To Using Taped Vocals During Opening Concert Of 'Pumpkins United' Tour

Ils ont (enfin) rajouté Pumpkins United à la setlist:

Il y aura un DVD Live... et un album :

For those, who mysteriously missed the tour, goosebumps footage of the PUMPKINS UNITED WORLD TOUR, will be released as a live CD as well as on DVD and Blu-ray beginning of 2019!!!

As we are still indulging in the Wacken encore or preparing for the show in Las Vegas/ USA, those maniacs are already launching the next sensation: For starters, Nuclear Blast has insisted to keep the band on their roster for a few more years, and – double bass drum roll – there’ll actually be a brand-new STUDIO ALBUM with KISKE AND HANSEN. When the band around songwriting trio Weikath, Hansen and Deris will be retreating to the studio together with these two exceptional singers in 2019, it’s clear that the album scheduled for 2020 will be no less than EPIC.

par Pietro Mar 21 Aoû 2018, 16:21

Ah, ça c'est une bonne nouvelle ! Le DVD on s'en doutait (ça aurait vraiment été dommage de ne pas immortaliser cette tournée), mais l'album c'est une petite surprise.
En tout cas j'ai hâte. :kiss:

par Dark S. Mar 21 Aoû 2018, 20:16

Album en 2020 (pourquoi autant de temps ?), on est pas prêt de revoir Gamma Ray.

"It's been over 14 months since we started the 'Pumpkins United' world tour. It was a blast to see all these beautiful pumpkinheads around the globe! We're honored to have one of the best fans in the world.

"Here's a small glimpse about the last shows in Hamburg, Bamberg and Karlsruhe. Just to say thank you! It was an amazing time we had with you and our beloved crew!

"Now we need a small big break from touring!

"If you hadn't the chance to grab one of our merch items, feel free and grab one at our worldwide shipping store.

"So far we wish you a great start in 2019!"

HELLOWEEN To Release 'United Alive' Live Album And DVD/Blu-Ray In October

During the "Hellbook" production to celebrate HELLOWEEN's 30th anniversary, the contributors came to realize that the chemistry in the band had always been unique — and that what belongs together needs to be together again. However, the birth of "Pumpkins United" wasn't just an original line-up reunion, but the real deal. The ultimate cast consisting of all seven metal heroes: former vocalist Michael Kiske and guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen alongside current singer Andi Deris, guitarists Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner, bassist Markus Grosskopf and drummer Dani Löble. What followed was a cry of joy from North Germany's river Elbe to Rio's Sugar Loaf Mountain and the "Pumpkins United" world tour, with 69 shows in front of more than one million people in 32 countries acoss three continents in fall 2017. The band's headline slots at Wacken Open Air, Rock Fest and Masters Of Rock, as well as their shows with IRON MAIDEN at the Sweden Rock Festival and Firenze Rocks, the revival was received enthusiastically, stages were set on fire, and tears were shed. After dates in the U.S. and additional shows in Latin America, this tour for the ages ended in December 2018 with a highly emotional finale in Hamburg, where it all began in 1984.

"This amazing journey was one of those 'magic moments' words can't describe — it simply was what we all love most: meet great people, go back in time with our memories, and celebrate the ultimate HELLOWEEN party together," said Deris.

From October 4, that's finally possible: With the release of "United Alive" and "United Alive In Madrid" we can transport ourselves to that tour at any time, and dive into every detail with hellish tracking shots, breathless close-ups, and intimate interviews. The artwork was created by Martin Hausler once again and offers plenty of unreleased live images.

Said Kiske: "It wasn't easy to condense this unbelievable tour adequately and capture how it felt for us. That's why we had the idea to film the biggest festival gig, the most massive arena show, and the hottest club date."

The DVD/Blu-ray nails the tour with recordings from Wacken in front of 75,000 metalheads and 14,000 fans in the Madrid arena — and as a bonus, the show in the Espaço das Américas, gathering 8,000 in São Paulo. Altogether it offers over three hours of live material in stereo and premium 5.1 Surround Sound, plus backstage material, tons of surprises, and a very personal band interview about the past, present, and future. The live CD/vinyl presents a whopping two hours and 20 minutes of pure audio material from the concert in Madrid plus four bonus tracks from the shows in Prague, São Paulo, Wacken, and Santiago de Chile.

The "Pumpkins United" tour marks the first time Kiske has played live with HELLOWEEN since 1993. Hansen, who departed HELLOWEEN in 1988, has been joining the band onstage on various tours and festival appearances throughout the years. The set features several duets with Kiske and his replacement, Deris, along with many rarely played songs, including "Kids Of The Century", "Rise And Fall" and "Livin' Ain't No Crime". Hansen — who fronted HELLOWEEN until late 1986 — sings a medley of several early HELLOWEEN classics, including "Ride The Sky", "Judas", "Starlight" and "Heavy Metal (Is The Law)".

Je sais bien que c'est devenu la norme depuis longtemps, mais le montage épileptique, je trouve ça insupportable. En revanche, la prestation est très sympa (les voix sont presque parfaites Rolling Eyes

). J'aurais bien aimé être dans le public pour faire les chœurs sur ce morceau mythique. :bave:

J'aurais bien aimé choper cette tournée quand même. Ça faisait tellement longtemps qu'on attendait ça, et ça n'a pas eu l'air de décevoir.
