I knew from the moment I wrote the song 'Lost In Space' that people will start complaining that it's too soft or too Bon Jovi or whatever and just whine about it because it wasn't what they ordered. If people want to order exactly what they should order a pizza: I take a bit more salami, less ham, some extra cheese and more peppers. But I'm not a damn pizza delivery, I'm a musician and I don't want to make any compromise. I think more people should have this attitude and make the record that they want to make, whether people are going to like it or not. - Tobias Sammet on Avantasia's new album.
I totally agree with everything he just said. There are way too many bands out there that are afraid to do new things because they think their fans will automatically start hating them. So they plod on and make the same music over and over to please them. I personally think that's the wrong way to go about it but what do I know as I'm not a musician.
