KAMELOT Guitarist: 'We Are Itching To Get Back Out There!'

March 14, 2008

KAMELOT's official web site has been updated with a new question-and-answer session with the group's guitarist, Thomas Youngblood. It follows below in its entirety:

Q: How is Sean Tibbetts doing, the bassist that was doing an amazing job filling in for Glenn? Last we heard he dislocated his knee at the show in London?

Youngblood: "Sean has fully recovered. He was a real warrior on that tour, man. Glenn is still having conflicts with touring. Sean will be on tour with us again and this time he has to lay off the spin moves that leads to dislocating of joints, haha! Funny thing is, I thought I broke my foot a few weeks ago on a Ripstik, stay away from those things people."

Q: How are things with the new video "Rule the World"?

Youngblood: "Well, we received the final version a few days ago and we were all floored by the final outcome. It was great to get back to Belgrade to shoot and hang out with the creative team there. The video will certainly be one if not the best video we have ever done. The graphics and visuals are amazing and it was fun to see my character on the screen this time as a bad guy. Some world premiers will be announced soon."

Q: The new release "Ghost Opera - The Second Coming" is due to be in stores at the end of March and early April in the U.S. Can you tell us something about it?

Youngblood: "Well, the idea of a reissue was thrown around with adding some bonus songs, etc... We wanted to release a live CD that we did from Belgrade, Serbia on the first trip to Europe for 'Ghost Opera'. So we thought that if we do a reissue it has be packed with great material and not just bonus songs. We added a new cover, thick new booklet with new photos and graphics. A live video clip from the Belgrade show and 10 live songs on the two-disc slipcase packaging. Not just another reissue by any standards."

Q: So the tour is coming up, any new songs, surprises?

Youngblood: "Yes, we are adding new songs and some older songs that fans have been asking for. In the countries where pyros are allowed we are doing full pyro shows and large staging. We are itching to get back out there!"

Q: In closing tell us a little about the U.S. tour coming up.

Youngblood: "Well, we just announced a U.S. run with EDGUY as special guests. We are sure those nights coming up will be killer. I think a future run in Canada is on the table as well, let's see."
