i noticed that as well. they are booked until christmas and we know for sure there are no u.s. dates on there you know, i just thought of something. i wonder if there is something between schwarzmann and kaufmann. i don't want to start any rumors so know that this is souly my own thoughts. probably not even an opinion yet. it just went through my mind. but you know, SS quit for good when kaufmann came into the band didn't he? maybe SK can't deal with the talent of SS back there? maybe some jealousy? i couldn't imagine it, but you never know. or maybe SS is so bitter about kaufmann replacing him with a machine that SS is the one with the problem with kaufmann?! don't know. just thinking and typing out loud. Although I don't think it is as big of an issue as perhaps you're musings make it to be, the interview with Stefan S. that I mentioned in the "REV-Raptor" thread did hint at animosity towards Stefan K. about the programmed, computer drums, as well as not having any of his input taken into account in the songwriting process, which lead Stefan S. to quit U.D.O. (or at least that's how the interview frames it to sound like).

thanx for that interesting interview.. udo said it before that he would have joined accept once again but only with a few facts. but i never thought that the "IDEA" was so real and near??!! what i like are his comments about BOTN and the new singer. Udo is a grown up!! why should he ever say bad things about accept? than he would make his own GREAT history down!!! that is why i cannot understand wolf. what ever happend between udo and wolf or wolf and stefan or wolf and whoever... it has nothing to do with the glorious history of the MIGHTY ACCEPT, the band that Udo gave the voice.... every F*****ing word would be too much; i love to see wolf and peter jamming again and love to hear Udo behind the mic... hopefully with real drums, metal guitars and a better production in the future... we have to wait for the future BUT: i think REV RAPTOR will not be as bad as we think, hopefully because the songs (i think from the samples i have heard) are better than on Dominator???!!! i

Today I´ve read an interview with Udo and Fitty in the most important Spanish Metal web. They were here last week doin´ some promo (I didn´t know). They talk about the new album, they say they haven´t to play too much Accept stuff because Accept are back doin´ it and so they can concentrate on UDO´s old and rare stuff (I HOPE THIS IS TRUE)... and finally, talking about young bands and the nowdays scene, Udo says one thing to KILL HIM!! Translating from Spanish to English is something like: "there are young musicians that aren´t able to play their instruments or can´t play live because the have done all their music with computers" That´s what UDO exactly do!!! It´s incredible.... I am shocked!!! They would LEARN from young bands like BULLET, or WOLF, or METAL INQUISITOR how to play REAL instruments at studio and live If you have time or want to translate here´s the link www.rafabasa.com/?p=16781

Another thing I hate on that interview is the fukkin idea of the emptiness in Metal music when the veterans go out... indeed is very difficult that young bands of today get the high level of Priest, Accept, Dio, Maiden, Saxon, Motley Crue, W.A.S.P., .... but today there are really great bands releasing great albums, sounding pure Heavy Metal and we have to trust and to support them.
I really don´t care if veterans disappear, they have done their work, now let´s enjoy with the new generation of Heavy Metal/Hard/Sleazy or even Thrash Metal (not of my taste but I respect) bands.

Many times younger bands play better REAL music than the so called Veterans do...

when Accept follows up the "comeback album of the year" and "album of the year" with another killer album from start to finish and u.d.o. puts out another yawner dismal pile of computerized crap, that will seal the fate of u.d.o. as tomcat is right. u.d.o. has no hunger. no drive. no desire. meanwhile the guys in Accept are on a mission to prove that they are back and here to stay!!

About veterans: I do not know any as good live bands as Accept and UDO. But yeah, when thinking the UDO studio albums the difference is like night and day.
