RAGE Guitarist VICTOR SMOLSKI - The Year In Review
December 19, 2006, 18 years ago
RAGE guitarist Victor Smolski has issued the following look back on 2006:
"I would like to wish you nice Christmas holidays and all the best for 2007!!!The year 2006 was a real successful year. We did a fantastic tour with RAGE (a few off-days more would be nice...) Here, I would like to say thanks to 'Schrörg' from our booking agency Dragon Production. Another beautiful adventure was the signing of my first professional racing contract at RTCC, where I gathered lots of race experience during many races. At the last race of the season on the Nürburgring, I won a real big cup.
The most challenging job was the DVD recording of a RAGE concert in St. Petersburg. I was very nervous, as it was a lot of things to organize for me, but at the end I was glad, that evrything runs perfect. The fans will get a very interesting product with more then 6 hours of material on 2 DVD's.
At the end of the year, a difficult decision was to be made - the split with Mike Terrana as Rage drummer. Nevertheless, there's a bright perspective in front of us: We definitely won't cancel a single show. At the moment I'm busy with the production of the Nuclear Blast 20 years anniversary sampler.

Thanks a lot for the great support to all fans, friends and endorsement-companies.
Happy New Year! See you at the shows next year..."
Victor
