[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Everyone always talks about Kiske, but to me, these two are the main guys in Helloween. They wrote the songs, and by doing so, they invented power metal. They have such awesome chemistry, like, Kai seems to be the only guy that actually understands Weikath's weird persona - and brings out the best in him. I hope to experience them writing more music together in the future :)

[@PauloHowlett]

Sure, but Kiske is Helloween's voice.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

True. However, Kiske is nothing without the songwriting ;)

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Michael Holmgaard euro power metal..america also has power metal..give riot, savatage, virgin steele etc a listen

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Paulo Felicio from the 80s

[@PauloHowlett]

Andreia Reminiec I consider Savatage and Virgin Steele to be Prog Metal, though they have epic songs.

[@JoolsGuitar]

this is pure gold. Give us a big brother type of show about the everyday life of helloween, hosted by Kati

[@eevahyvarinen]

Yeah! I would watch that :)

[@ronniesushett9185]

these guys have a great sense of humor. I like it.

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Ronnie Sushett so do I..especially Weiki's sense of humor

[@AndresEstrada1]

Andreia Reminiec and don't forget Paul McCartney's too!

[@mustasilma]

The previous interviews were great, but this one is by far the best!!! Never laughed that hard while watching an interview😂😂😂

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Greatest interview I have ever seen with Kai Hansen and Michael Weikath. I have never seen Michael Weikath more relaxed in an interview than this one. Great job.

[@clavesseptem7223]

Honestly...I would love to hear Weiki sing one day. Also, those two are hilarious! :D

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Claves Septem so would I

[@AndE667]

there's a short bit of him singing on one of Chameleon's singles.

[@adinadamian5634]

@@AndE667 Which one of the songs?

[@AndE667]

@@adinadamian5634 Introduction has a short snippet of naughty version of Get Me Out Of Herr

[@adinadamian5634]

@@AndE667 Ok, thanks.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Michael Weikath and Kai Hansen are one of the greatest guitar duos ever. In my opinion they are just as amazing as Dave Murray and Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden and KK Downing and Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Kai actually wrote a song called "Heart of the Unicorn" for Gamma Ray

[@KatiRausch]

I know. Maybe Gamma Ray wants my song 😉

[@PauloHowlett]

That's true. And Helloween has Pink Bubbles Go Ape. Maybe she could make a song about a Pink Unicorn With Ape Heart, or something like that.

[@KatiRausch]

Yeah, that could work... I'll try my best ;)

[@itsamemario8001]

love the interview, quite relaxed atmosphere.

[@Andersondvaz]

The best shows start when they got UNITED, Helloween now is my favorite band along with Megadeth!

[@jackiecraigmile3021]

This is one of my favorite interviews kai is awesome wish ingo schwichtenberg was still here on this earth the interview would have been even more awesome Rest in Peace Ingo schwichtenberg you will never be forgotten.

[@celioazevedoofficial]

Hello gorgeous interviewer! Helloween is the best band.

[@dial3ctic289]

Just for the record I saw Kai yesterday night here in Buenos Aires he made something like 8 minutes song playing and singing at the same time. Beautiful voice he has. Amazing performer.

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Awesome and relaxed vibe. Felt like I was right there hanging out with you guys. Thanks!

[@lucianobolano8844]

Voyce of kai is amazing

[@hendrahusnussalam7617]

Am I the only one who thinks that Kai looks like Adrian Smith?

[@keira1989]

Not at all! I thought I was the only one!

Haha, I am watching this interview again, exactly 4 years later when it was released!

[@SPNrulz]

Katie, it's hard to be you!! :D I don't know how to respond to Weiki's answers most of the time! Gosh!

[@setubandha9203]

Michael, you´re so funny and charming! I was laughing a lot, really, and a was quite envy :)

[@PauloHowlett]

Nice interviewer...

[@tomek3135]

Tomek an elf? Kai looks more like a dwarf to me

[@gameratheart5144]

Два человека которые начали писать историю пауэра... причем все написано легко и непринужденно - многие сейчас усераются -чтобы попытаться воспроизвести на свет хоть нечто издалека похожее.... но увы!!! Ребята -ВЫ ЛУЧШИЕ!!!!)))) Two people who started writing the power story... and everything is written easily and naturally - many people are now scowling-to try to reproduce at least something similar from afar.... but alas!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!))))

[@dariodzimbeg]

well, unimaginable happened. enough said.

[@aceofspades02]

3:23 epic cough!

[@edvaldomartins9674]

Hahahahah the best part of a Interview

I Got Myself a Microphone by: Hansen/Weikath/McCartney from the album: Embarassing Abassador Lyrics: I got myself a microphone I am a crap guitarist *guitar solo*

[@marcelolima1666]

Weikath the man of a thousand faces

[@user-uq8mp3ps7d]

この2人大好き

[@metalzonemt-2]

Is that how Weikath really speaks English, or is he just making a parody of every movie I've ever seen that has English speaking Germans?

[@henriklmao]

He's just joking. There were some passages in this interview, where he spoke pretty accentless.

[@tgohan_s]

What a beautyful girl!

[@technicalko2010]

so many germans in finland, what's up with that?

[@AmphibienIngo]

Maybe the Finns know what's good.... 😎

[@kokelawless]

Its hard to tell when Weiki is joking or being serious.

[@Fenrir1409]

Now bring back to Uli Kush and Ronald Grapow!!! I would pay my life saves for a 4 hours Helloweens concert

TUYOUBE *LOL

[@eduardogreco4423]

Kai is such a great composer and musician, but I have to admit that I got more interested in the interviewer, super hot girl!

[@PauloHowlett]

Weiki is speaking with too much of a German accent when talking in English here hahaha

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Paulo Felicio almost all of Helloween is German ... Duh !

[@KateryReminiec9399]

Paulo Felicio If you were to listen to me speak , you'd say that I also have an accent

[@PauloHowlett]

Andreia Reminiec You don't say! Not almost, ALL OF THEM are German ;)

[@PauloHowlett]

Andreia Reminiec Weiki's accent is more prominent. You almost don't note Deris's or Kiske's accent when speaking English.

[@salt27dogg]

Andreia Reminiec almost??? Dani isn’t German?? I know he is Swiss but is he German Swiss?

[@guitarplayercf]

Kati, just one word to describe you, mamasita

[@philouze1815]

Fucking Weiki. Love that guy.

[@PauloHowlett]

I didn't understand why the final sentences were censored in the end of the video.

[@mustasilma]

Because it's funny. I was laughing on the floor, when I watched that...

[@eevahyvarinen]

It has something to do with the cliche that Germans always complain about everything ;) Soo funny!!!

[@KateryReminiec9399]

What was with all of that noise while Weiki was speaking ?

[@KaiHansen65]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🌹😊

[@VladimirFedorov236]

Who can answer? Why do they never play the ballad Lake of Tears?

[@mustasilma]

Because "Lake Of Tears" is a song of Gamma Ray and not a Helloween song. But great pieve, I would also love to hear them play it!

[@denyjadul3371]

How about windmill?

[@RodrigoMera]

That's from Gamma Ray

[@Mikau-gb8uo]

Weiki looks so bored with the whole world and everyone in it :D

[@BlackOrc1988]

Why did you cut out the complaining part?!? I bet it's pretty funny :))

[@RodrigoMera]

He's known for complaining on interviews lol

[@TioClotildo]

Weiki really have fun with his cigarettes

[@juliereminiec4937]

Does Helloween like Chicago ,IL?
