Weikath reminds me of a cool old uncle

[@amihol]

Michael Weikath is the most funny man. I am really laughing when watching his interwievs. He's honest and I like that.

[@doksooli]

Kai actually works part-time as an actor. He is Daryl in "The walking dead". ^^

[@celioazevedoofficial]

Helloween gods! The best band of the universe!

[@Albertrhoads]

Obviously everybody in the band is enjoying touring together!!

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Great to see the fathers of Helloween & power metal together again. I'd love for them to collaborate more and compose some new songs - It went pretty great 30 years ago 😅🙌

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I am sure that you heard their new song Skyfall. I think it is amazing, and I can't wait for the whole album to come out in mid June.

[@PauloHowlett]

O Weikath é sincerão kkkkkkkkkk "ah, gravamos pq a gravadora pediu" kkkkk ele sempre fala a real.

[@iAkis4]

just saw Bruce Dickinson with a Helloween t-shirt..cool..

[@mikem.7921]

Hope they do a super tour together in the near future 🙏

[@juancarlossanchez3769]

I have grown up listening to these two gods of music. And this proyect has fulfilled my dream

[@RumikXxeno]

I was on Masters of Rock and Pumpinks United were f'cking AWESOME!! I hope they'll stay together

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

One of the greatest guitar duos ever!!!!! These two are just as great as Adrian Smith and Dave Murray and Glenn Tipton and KK Downing . I can't wait for them to release a live double CD album and DVD. This tour is amazing and needs to be released on CD and DVD.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I am so excited for the new album that is coming out this year sometime in the summer hopefully. The amazing talent that this current lineup has is PHENOMENAL! Members like Kai Hansen, Andi Deris, Michael Weikath, Michael Kiske, Markus Grosskopf, and Sascha Gerstner are all amazing songwriters. The new album should be incredible with all these excellent songwriters. I am really looking forward to it big time!! I have a feeling that it is going to be number one album of the year for 2021.

[@AlaricAranEdhel]

We will have a DVD !!!!!! And maybe ... an album !!! This band is fucking magic !!! :D

[@shabeth7773]

Aläric Aran Edhel hopefully a special DVD for Waken!!!

[@AlaricAranEdhel]

I hope ! The only festival I will make next summer is the Hellfest. But shit, they were not invited, so I think I will buy a ticket for Wacken or Barcelona Rock Fest just to see them a second time ^^

[@lilienmarc]

Awesome to see both together

[@EvanJr]

Haha. This Michael is a spetacular caracter. Spreading wind in your hair. Trade mark... Very fun.🎖️

[@brownholecharles]

in every interview I've ever seen of Helloween including the ones from 20+ years ago, Weikath is fucking hilarious..

[@MichaelFougere]

Looks like a new album with this lineup is in the plans, i'll be looking forward to it.

[@adinadamian5634]

They are releasing a new album this year! :)

[@derekd1997]

Enough touring I want new Helloween Gamma Ray and Unisonic

[@missbrokendreams]

2 years later and still we don’t know for sure what’s gonna happen But if they decide not to keep on being pumpkins united, I surely hope Gamma Ray to come back (and Unisonic too ofc)

[@derekd1997]

@@missbrokendreams yeah me too i would prefer that. I really liked the most recent Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Unisonic albums. I dont know if their writing together will be as good as separate, and we just get way less content. Oh well economy is rough and they need a retirement fund, they've already given so much, I really wish them the best.

[@missbrokendreams]

Derek D yeah I totally agree with you. I think too many creative minds in one band might not work so well - or it might work wonders, Pumpkins United is a hell of a song for example right? But still we won’t get to see much of their separate “musical”!personalities I guess. I would be thrilled for another song following the lines of Insurrection for example but idk if it would be fitted for all-star Helloween.

..ride the skyy..

[@MonsterFlicks]

Kai, you're my my idol. Please remove the wig. Empire of the Undead was a badass album. Land of the Free is my favorite album ever. Please write a badass album for your fans, you're the last of a dying kind. Write one more album for your fans, Kai. True metal lives forever!

All czech people say "the" Prague :D

Michael seems like he has had a stroke.

[@jikhyunahn2533]

they be so dorky and funny

[@ykoba4054]

Aged Weikath resembles Beethoven (the portrait I saw).

[@martinmueller5328]

I’m stoned

[@Mikau-gb8uo]

Weiki looks sick..

[@OLDM4N-DE]

Michael Weikath's desinterest is so showing. With Kai it sounds like he is really enjoying it, with Weikath its like "Well, I have to do it. So its ok.". As much as I like to see them all united, but that assumption "united" seems definately not as one would think. Its sad to see. There is a reason I didnt care for Helloween without Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen since both them left. There is something missing that seems only there for the United tour.

[@falaquisto]

Well, isn't Weiki almost always like this? As far as I know, Weiki I've seen from the interviews was always looking disinterested.

[@drtdyvfdaweazweadvtbiunjoi443]

he's always been like this, it's his character! you really haven't understood anything..

[@ipeniemela]

Weiki has a bit of a quirky personality and he doesn't care much for doing publicity. But if you watch the bonus materials on their Live On 3 Continents dvd, you will see that he actually gets on great with his bandmates.

[@jirijahoda6288]

As you all said, this is his character. It is completely nonsense that he did not care about Helloween and do not like the be part of it. It is just his kind of humor

[@tonyvandroiysulas4297]

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂keep watch the peace, like,everyone having fun,weiki is like is ok,kai: You don't? 😂😂😂😂😂I love That dude 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeanpaulalves7379]

It seems that there isnt very good feeling between those two

[@YehspuhrTv]

If you want to see somebody that it pissed about pumpkins untied.. check out Masterplans album "PumpKings" (It's a slaugther). Roland grapow is trying to cash in on Helloween being hot right now.... and he was not invited to the party. Kai and Weiki are getting along just fine, Weiki is just being Weiki :)

[@salt27dogg]

Weikath is known for his dry humor. From what I heard he told Kiske, what have I done that u can not forgive me?. These men Kai, Weiki, Michi Andi and Marcus are geniuses but it's not easy combining all those egos . But Kai and Andi appear to be the most down to earth . IMHO

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Weikath & Kai are very close actually. They were the ones to first reach out and make Pumpkins United happen. They were the brains behind the Keeper albums and Walls of Jericho. They were the decision makers and they wrote many great songs together as well. Weikath just has the very dry humor and weird persona, which shines through here :)

[@jeanpaulalves7379]

I like all your answers

how tall is that fucking giant towering over Kai and Weikath?

Totally irrelevant answer. How is it being back together with Michi and Kai? "Everybody is moving too vivid". Er, OK.
