Metal-Rules.com's Marko Syrjala has posted a new interview conducted with Helloween guitarist Michael Weikath. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: In your opinion, what is the classic lineup of Helloween?

A: "The classic lineup—that’s the one with Michael Kiske and Ingo (Schwichtenberg, drums) and (Kai) Hansen. That’s a time… that’s something that time passed by. Now we’re in the present and that’s what we do to make a good living and whatever. You know, the new lineup has its advantages and the old classic one had its disadvantages. Actually, it wasn’t an easy life. I mean, you hear the complaints about me and what kind of asshole and dictator I was or whatever... and the people who say that, they know themselves that it’s not true if they really reflect. They know what was going on back then and it’s actually just easy to put the blame just on me."

Q: Yeah, but everybody has their own side of the story.

A: "It could have all been so cool if not for the fucking bikers around and it could have been so cool if I wouldn’t have been around because then I wouldn’t have had to have that entire struggle that was going on. For me what counts is that you have a great act that works and functions and is looked upon by the people as something important or great or something and that is indispensable. Because you can do so many bands which are not really necessary. Then you can go and say hmm or whatever."

Q: Would I dare to ask that how is your relationship with Roland Grapow on these days?

A: "None."
