August 2, 2009, 15 years ago
For FIREWIND's Italian fans, the Official Firewind Italian Fanclub is now up and running with a brand new MySpace page. Go to this location to check it out.
As previously reported, Firewiund guitarist Gus G recently checked in with the following report:
“The past few months for us have been really great. We decided to do select shows and festivals in 2009, so that we can concentrate on writing new material. So in May we embarked on a six-date UK/Ireland tour together with STRATOVARIUS and EDEN'S CURSE. All gigs were great and we already miss our UK fans right now…but we’ll be back in UK and Ireland in 2010 that’s for sure! So, straight out of the final gig with Strato and into the festival mood we played a bunch of great festivals like Metal Days (Switzerland), Rock Hard (Germany), Graspop (Belgium) for the second year in a row and Tuska (Finland). Then we played a very special show in Greece (and the only one for the rest of the year). We played with the SCORPIONS and DOKKEN at Creta Festival which took place in the beautiful island of Crete. I’m sure all good tourists know where that is.Not only did we use special pyro for that show, but I also ended up joining my idols, Scorpions, on stage and played 'Rock You Like A Hurricane'!!! This was beyond my imagination and I sure wasn’t dreaming! I thank the Scorpions for being so nice to us and for the once-in-a-lifetime invitation to play with them, I’ll never forget it! We’re now ready to do the final three shows of the summer – Unirock in Turkey, Summer Breeze in Germany and finally Ilha do Ermal festival in Portugal. We’ll see u all out there!”
