June 16, 2010Video footage of HAIL! — the supergroup featuring vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, BEYOND FEAR),guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA),drummer Paul Bostaph (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, EXODUS, FORBIDDEN) and bassist James Lomenzo (MEGADETH) — performing a cover version of the BLACK SABBATH classic "Neon Knights" on June 12, 2010 at the Sauna Open Air festival in Tampere, Finland with a special guest appearance by Marco Hietala of NIGHTWISH and TAROT can be viewed below.
Commented HAIL!: "If having DEATH ANGEL [perform the KISS classic 'Cold Gin' with us] wasn't enough — we also had Marco Hietala from NIGHTWISH/TAROT sing 'Neon Knights' with us again!
"We had a great time when Marco sang with us in Helsinki [on June 8] and the dude can w(hail!). He's a Finnish god so the crowd went bananas and he tore it up.
"It was an incredible night and everybody had a great time.
"What a wonderful way to say 'see you later' to Finland — friends having fun together the HAIL! way."
Added HAIL!: "The next time you see Andreas, buy him a beer and say thank you. This guy is seriously the ultimate road warrior. After our show at Sauna Open Air, he left at 3:00 in the morning, took a two-hour car ride to Helsinki airport, flew to Zurich, Switzerland, drove two hours to play the Greenfield Festival with SEPULTURA at 3:00 in the afternoon, walked onstage after not seeing the guys for a month and tore it up! ...and his day was far from over as he then drove two hours back to the airport to catch a 2:30 a.m. flight to Madrid, got to the hotel at 10:00 a.m. and played with us at Rock In Rio Madrid (then flew to Frankfurt to grab a train to Saarbrucken to meet up with SEPULTURA for the next two months!).
"Never a complaint or bad word."
"Hail! Andreas Kisser!"
