Since I just said this on the Gamma Ray forum, I might as well use it for today's trivia ;)
Today's:
Dirk Schlachter of Gamma Ray had knee surgery in August 2001. As a result, he missed the promotional appearances and the first 10 shows of the No World Order tour. Markus Grosskopf of Helloween filled in on bass.
Though Kai is to blame for it. He urged Dirk to jump off the drum riser two times during a show. The first time was fine but the second time killed his knee. He performed the rest of the show on a stool.
He had to wear a knee brace from September 2001-November 2003. At least according to the pictures from shows during that time :)
dirk,
