Edguy
Edguy is a heavy metal band from Fulda, Germany that was formed in 1992.
Biography
Demos, AFM years (1992-2003)
Edguy was founded in 1992 by 14-year-old students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch and Dirk Sauer. The name "Edguy" was an affectionate epithet for their math teacher at the time. In 1994, the band released two demos, Evil Minded and Children of Steel. These tapes were sent to many record labels, all of whom rejected the band, believing they would be unsuccessful in the music business. Undeterred, they self released their ‘unofficial’ debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995. They signed with AFM Records shortly after, who offered to re-release Savage Poetry with more widespread distribution. The band rejected this proposal in favour of recording a new album, Kingdom of Madness, which was released in 1997, but drummer Dominik Storch left the band shortly after. 1998 saw the release of their second album, Vain Glory Opera, with friend Frank Lindenthal filling in on drums. This album helped expose Edguy to a wider audience, thanks in part to guest appearances from Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) and Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian). The band was joined by new drummer Felix Bohnke and bassist Tobias ‘Eggi’ Exxel later that year, allowing Tobias Sammet to solely focus on vocals (he had previously played bass as well handling vocal duties).

In Love
by: Fear Of PopI remember
The night we met
That night we sat
Entwined
Under summer skies
I looked into your eyes
You looked into mine
You said
Oleander holly
"You're not like the rest"
And I nodded
Crimson feet of Collie
"No one understands me"
You said
And I nodded once again
Beautiful and lovely
As if to agree that all men
Are indeed the same
My baby
Somehow, you said
The only one
I was different
Who really understands me
Floating hand in hand we
Whisper in the moonlight
And say that I'm
The things you want to see
Kody and her star child
For months on end
I maintained
Goddess of the moonlight
A veneer of sincere interest
Hold me in the morning
As if I were listening
As you relived every page
And tell me I'm
Of self-help and new age
the only one alive
That you'd read
Who really understands you
I went in for the kill
I'd read the same books
Tell me pretty stories
I learned to ape the motions
Of a sensitive human being
Say you understand me
And we were oh, so happy
My baby
But you found things to fix
The things you want to see
And I knew it was time
To move on
But I could never be
In love
In love
So now you have me
Completely figured out
You feel sorry for me
I can't express my feelings
I can't tell the truth
We are all alike
At puberty, I was sworn to secrecy
By the international brotherhood
Of lying, fickle males
I can't tell you anything
And I can't commit
You're right
I can't commit
To you
Hold me in the morning
I will always treasure
Our time together
Tell me pretty stories
I don't feel enough of anything
To harbor the kind of disdain
Say that you're the only one
That you'll maintain
You painted me into what you
My baby
Wanted to see
That's fine
But I could never be
But you will never know me
In love
In love
Oleander holly
Crimson feet of Collie
Beautiful and lovely
My baby
The only one
