Hey Ricky! Welcome to LaFee's forum! It's very incredible to talk with you!
I cant' find the words to explain my hapiness!
I'm very happy! Very surprising...

So, can i ask you any questions about the show?

I readed that any persons could meet the band before the concert, true or false?
I would like taking a photography with you, Lafee ant the rest of the band after the show, is it possible?

Thank to answer me!

------------------------------------

Kevin,

thanks for the welcome. glad to be hear... I owe you that without you guys no Lafee and I do this many years enough to know so my pleasure!

Unfortunatly not all as imagine how much time that would take. Usally if scheduling permits Christina is holding a meet&greet with about 25 people before the show earlier that day. You can win those through radio raffels or fanclubs etc.. What I personally do is walk out before the show and have about 2 of those meet&greet passes with me to give out. You will be surprised how many people first dont recognize me. I just randomly pick two folks then.

So, if I understand, we can win passes for meet&greet through radios or things like that, and before the concert, you'll go out, and if we recognize you, you'll choose 2 persons and give to them 2 passes for meet&greet ??

It's a good idea & it's very original =)

And thanks to do that =D

glad to answer you some questions when I find the time!


Thanks for making this topic sticky so I can keep an overview. Btw about the M&G I am not in chrage of all those winners or raffles for the passes its up to the managmet of who they work with locally. Radio stations, fan clubs etc.. Please keep in eye and ear open in your city about that. I can only go out with the guys from the band at one point and give about 2 passes out for free randomly. Also usally we, the band, come out after the show to give some autographs,, Christina does as well sometimes. But depends on the volume of people out there and how long her day ways,,, she usally has a much bigger schedule then we do.



* In your official site, your differents cds are presented, but are they marketed?... I would like buying its! I'm a big fan of your musics!
Your're a great musical!

Thanks for asking about my music. Thasts old demo songs I did many years ago. You can still download them from my website if you like for FREE so far. Totally diffrent music though. I am working on my first "real" solo CD right now. But it will be instrumental guitar music again. My big passion beside LaFee and a chance to get myself to the limits as a guitar player. I need that type of challenge.


* What are your musical influences? Metal, rock, pop?...

Many guitar players of course. Guys like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons. Also Bands like Guns´n Roses, Metallica, Pantera, Dream Thetaer, Megadeth, Rage against the Machine any many more. ALso acoustic players like Tommy Emmanuel are AWESOME. Btw I met him yesterday at the airport... he was standing in line like us waiting for his flight. I was blown away to see him and took a photo with him!!


* France compares your band to Tokio Hotel... What do you think about this? Personnaly, I find that it's totally different!
Your universe is borrowed from dreams, enchantment... Great, Beautiful!


Well I respect all the groups out there and they do their thing. I dont have any competition with those guys honestly. Personally I am not into many of those bands music as its all to "un-heavy" for me or lacks of virtuostic elements. LaFee really includes some of those without beeing to much of a "musicians" band. I like that a lot. If totally want to go to music-music for that I have my own stuff.


* How do you live your celebrity? Fans are they intrusive?

When you meet me one day and I have some time to talk to you will find out very quick that I am not a celebrety. Total normal guy who just wants ti play his guitar and glad he can. Some of that "pseudo star behaviour" is NOT my thing or doesn not impress me. First show me what you really can do! Can you sing, play your instrument or are you just compensating you lack of skill by beeing" Mr. uber cool"?!



* What represents you tatoos, please?

I dont have any... that was just painted on my arms


* You're a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, isn't it? (like my brother! LOL!) I find that your personality, (Your genersity, kindsness ect...) physic (You're a Heck build!) is close to him


Yes! Arnold is super cool!!! I am working out a lot these days going to the gym whenevr I can... kinda catched me and helps to let that energy go. I love Arnolds mentality and how he turned every dream he had into reality. Very impressive... The Conan and Terminator movies are just brutally cool!!

Do you go to make a French tour ?

Hey Ricky
Firstable thank to you be here, this forum is wonderful and i hope that you will have pleasure to answer to our questions.

- How do your family/friends react about the fact that now you are so famous ?
- When you don't like something about a song, do you have the rule to tell/add your point of view ?

To finish, i was totally sure that you liked Guns N Roses, in "Stör ich", the guitar solo makes me think to Slash
They are for me one of the best hard rock band in the world (I'm a big fan )
And the band, LaFee and you were wonderful at the Open Air Schau Nicht Weg.

----------------------

@ Elise:

- My family is very happy for me especially my parents. Of course also a release for them as the path of a musician is very cloudy and unpredictable. You never know if you will ever make it or not. My friends that were left over the years beeing out of school especially respect my dedication to my dream becoming a guitar player and beeing able to make a living of it. In general though I am still the same guy. I dont like "star behaviour". Ah well I put sunglasses on may times but more because some days I am so tired and I dont want people to notice or beeing offended if I dont look at everybody directly. Kinda strange to explain.

- We all share opinions and suggestions of course.

Hey Ricky

What about your guitar solo on the 2006 tour?

---------------------------------------------------

Yes whats up with the solo?


---------------------------------

Thanks for answering to my question.

I was wondering when/how did you create it and how did you decide to play it for the concert?

-------------------------------

Its quite easy actually... and improvised. That means I just come up with it. Nothing special.

Hallo Ricky !

On your MySpace, you quote the metal band Dream Theater in your musical influences...and specially, Jordan Rudess the keyboarder.. but I can't imagine that you forgot Mr John Petrucci !!
And for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, they're really awesome ! you know probably G3 Live with Vai/Satriani/Malmsteen..

My questions :
- What kind of guitar do you use in concert ? (Ibanez, Gibson ???)
- Do you like the Flying V of Dave Mustaine ?

- and have you ever tried the "hair guitar" ?

Bis bald.

---------------------------

@Don: Oh absolutly John Petrucci is defenetly an influnece no doubts. Jordan Rudess is close to beeing THE perfect musician to me he is so unique. I am more then honored to say that I played on his new solo record.

Guitars i use CORT Guitars www.cort.co.kr exclusivly... for LaFee the EVL series and for my solo stuff a custom guitar I got made among some others from their series.

Hi,

Je pense qu'il s'agit d'un t-shirt "officiel" du groupe, puisque si tu fais bien attention à la dernière page du livret du premier album, les musiciens portent ce même motif!
