Elements of Rock was just amazing
Act.: 25.04.2010, 11:57; Pub.: 25.04.2010, 11:57
Elements of Rock (EoR) has been a big success for T-RAGE. And it all started with a wonder ...
Jean-Marc Crettaz, lead guitarist of the band, called me on Friday evening that he couldn't play tomorrow at our show because he got a really bad flu. This was the worst that could happen, I thought, but then someone told me that there was a prayer team at the EoR. So I told them to pray for us, for this problem might be solved by God if he wants us to play there.
I then called Jean-Marc the coming morning and he said "I feel well! We can do this show!"
So God loves rock'n'roll, that's the final proof ;-)
Well the second big success was the gig itself. After the show we had a LOT of very positive reactions and a lot of people wanted to buy a CD. We were very sorry to tell them that we didn't record any album yet.
Anyway ... Afterwards we were invited to do an interview with UK's Pundersons Gardens who made a documentary about the christian metal scene.
So it was a very exciting experience and we're thankful for this superb event.
Our thanks are also entitled to the team behind the EoR who did a great job. Thanks folks!

Every 80ies-metal fan could be fully content with this blasting and shredding evening!
Andy Haas (bass) from Omen stormed the stage while EMERALD were playing a cover song from Iron Maiden. He sang some rhymes and then jumped back into the audience to bang with the other metal heads.
