I’ve been away for a bit. But going through the thread you pick great music that I love!Day 23: A song with a 6 word title
I've spoken at length about Tobias Sammet, Edguy, and Avantasia in this thread. But, here I go again!
One of the greatest shames surrounding this band is from the album Ghostlights. The opening track and first single, Mystery of a Blood Red Rose was intended to have Meat Loaf as the lead singer. It was written for him, but for some reason he pulled out of the project and never explained why. My guess is health issues; 2016 saw him collapse on stage and go through several surgeries. But we'll never know. Rest in peace you beautiful man.
Nevertheless, Tobi does one hell of a job as lead on this track,
but one can definitely hear how it was written for Meat Loaf.
