Throwing back appropriately to the same building that we are rehearsing for the Wacken Open Air!
This photo was from my first official show ever as a member of Savatage.
I’m playing this music. With my best friends. Rehearsing for one of the biggest festivals in the world. I have to be honest with you. …
We are having so much fun. There may be almost 100,000 people at Wacken. But the honest smiles and emotions I’m seeing during these rehearsals are some of the most precious moments of my life.
I watch Paul as he sees this all come together and I will say one thing. Like a proud father he’s smiling larger than any of us.
One week from today the stages of Wacken will be hosting a very special night!
When I have tears in my eyes at rehearsal u can only imagine what the fans will feel.
I’m going to go visit Criss on Friday. I need to sit and talk and thank him for his special guidance to me throughout the last 28 years.
If only he could be onstage at this show…but somehow through our souls he definitely is!
Mt. Kings birthday rehearsal happened to be one of the funniest experiences of my life. We were all laughing to the point of tears.
Goodnight!
Chris
