Servus

Hey there....my name is Fabian, I'm from germany and no one knows me from the AM! forum.

Like 5 months ago a friend gave me a cd with the words: "Dude, listen to this...could be something for you"!
It was a blank cd with the words "Sink or Swim" on it.....

I was so fuckin' blown away....I can't even remember when it was the last time a band impressed me like that!
They just can't do wrong...the words, the music, just perfect.

2 weeks ago I saw them live...and what should I say....they have such a passion & heart for what they do....they "live" their songs!!

Enough said...very good idea that they get an own forum!

I like!!!

nice to meet you, and yes they do deserve there own forum

Welcome! Nice to have you here - hope you enjoy it!

And the funny thing about this concert was that Brian played like the last 1/3 of the show with only 4 strings!

But who needs 6 strings anyway...!?

That's all that a genuis needs! ;-) Haha.

Servus, I am also a TGA fan living in Germany! Where did you see them play? I saw them 4 times on that tour... and I am going to see them in late august again

I saw them on the 25th in Freiburg....the same evening was the game between germany vs. turkey...

so we came there and there was no one but the band putting their stuff in. They said that they play later when the game is over (they hoped that more people will come). But in the end it were like 50 people....a great show anyways!!!

I thought about going to the Freiburg show but just couldn't make it. I saw them in Berlin, Leipzig, Munchen and Wurzburg.

Not bad...4 times on one tour....so now you're like the 5th gaslight member!?

yeah, in fact, at the Wurzburg show Brian said "So we are going to do something special tonight, we have a good friend of ours in the audience, Scott, why don't you come up on stage and sing a song"

so I got on stage and sang 1930... it was awesome

WTF!!?? Ok....now I'm a bit jealous!! That's definitely a moment to remember.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

yeah, it really was a bad ass moment... 4th best moment of my life.

So you're originally from the states!? Why do you live in germany?

I am an american soldier stationed in Bavaria, I love it here so much. This is the best place I have ever lived by far. I love Germany.

TGA is playing Berlin on 30 August, are you going?

Bavaria? Awesome....so you're a neighbour!

Unfortunately not....at the beginning of august my vacations are over and I have my examinations straight ahead, a lot of fuckin learnin' and workin'!

how long is your term?

Have you done any time in Iraq?

Yes, I have been to Iraq and Afghanistan (Afghanistan was far worse for me). I have been living in Europe for 4 years now (I lived in Italy for 2 years prior to moving to Germany). I am about to re-enlist in the army and try to stay here for another 3 years.

To be honest the only things I miss about the states are:

1. 7-11
2. Taco Bell/Wendy's
3. Good Chinese food

oh what I would do for a coke flavored slurpee!

Stay safe buddy. I have been in the middle east for almost 5 years now, so I know the dangers. I was in Saudi when those bombs went off, I heard them go off, I felt the walls shake ... Keep your eye on the winding road ahead ...

you in the miltary to?

Believe me, I was aware that it was 7-11 and I not having a slurpee made me die a little bit inside.

No - I am not in the military - I teach. I don't miss slurpees or taco bell (i worked there - so I know what they serve!) but I do miss the green and cool air.
