Some good tracks, but I wouln't call me fan though.

I'm sure Rozz would be the winner with his DEATHbringing fists, but Robert could CURE himself afterwards. Besids, I read that Robert once said he'd rather chop his hands off before being honored by the Royals. So maybe he has no fists at all.

Yes, Nuremberg is beautiful and also offers some great musical happenings. But this year it's quite quiet, hopefully it's getting better soon.

Regarding bagpipes my favorite is Tanzwut, followed by Corvus Corax, Saltatio Mortis, In Extremo, Feuerschwanz, Faun, Jar and many many more. How popular are those bands outside Germany? I guess as to the mostly German lyrics not many people outside Europe have heard of those bands.

I've read where it was voted #1 on a list of "50 Greatest German Albums" compiled by Rolling Stones/Germany. I was curious about your opinion on that. Should it be, or do you think there is another album you think should be #1?

I don't think there could ever be a single album placed on a number one position. There are countless great albums, every week new albums are released. There are also epic albums produced by unknown artists which heardly anyone will ever hear. They all are distinctive regarding their style and therefore not comparable with each other. Additionally it is highly mood-dependent and subjective. So as to your question I would say no. I think such a ranking is not possible. If someone would ask me for my #1 album I would run away

Basically I'm open-minded but my personal limit is reached when it comes to Rap

Or German Volksmusik (e.g. Wildecker Herzbuben)

Since there are so many genres and sub-genres and I'm a mere music fan and no music genre scientist, for me I group a lot of different artists under the umbrella term "Gothic", including guitar-driven and electronic, Dark Wave, NDH and so on. So at the risk of naming "wrong Goth bands" here a small selection of dark bands I like:
Das Ich, Lacrimosa, ASP, Umbra Et Imago, Deine Lakaien, Ewigheim, Schwarzer Engel, Project Pitchfork, Diary of Dreams, Welle:Erdball, Cephalgy, Goethes Erben, Blutengel, Sopor Aeternus, Adversus, Deathstars, Heldmaschine, Lord of the Lost, Samsas Traum, Mono inc. and hundreds of other bands
