An interview I did with Edguy bassist Tobias "Eggi" Exxel.
Metal Obsession: Hi Tobias, how are you? Welcome to Metal Obsession.
Tobias “Eggi” Exxel: Thank you very much.
MO: Edguy will soon be returning to Australia to play this new years eve in Sydney, at Screamfest which of course is a new and upcoming metal festival in Australia and also includes some sideshows throughout Australia in early 2010. For the many Australian fans who haven’t had the chance of seeing Edguy live, what can they expect from this upcoming tour?
Eggi: I think its just going to be the great show. Its going to be fun. Everyone knows that Edguy are a fun and a happy metal band, so I think it’s going to be great.
MO: Edguy have toured Australia twice already. Once in 2002 and again 2004. I’ve heard in many interviews that Edguy seem to like Australia over any other country the band have toured, yet our fanbase is quite small compared to Europe or America. What makes Australia so special to you over any other country you have toured so far?
Eggi: It was a great experience to play there back in 2002 and 2004. What can I say, I’m just looking forward to it. Will be playing a festival for the first time in Australia which will be completely new to us and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m curious to see what other bands are playing with us because I have no idea who the other bands are playing at the festival.
I think I’m just going to be having a beer, watching the show and talking to the fans and stuff like that. I think that’s going to be really cool. I remember the first time we toured Australia and we were all excited to see Kangaroos and stuff like that because we don’t have anything like that in Germany.
