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).

Tomorrow
by: Edguy[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Another day is coming
a new day has begun
An eagle is rising slowly to the skies of no return
disappearing in the growing sun
so proud and so beautiful
thinking about tomorrow with tears in his eyes
Once a lot of brothers spread their wings to join his way
Now he`s left alone in a world of lies
Cry for tomorrow
Why don`t we hear the eagles cries
Living in sorrow
Why don`t we help him to survive
Once a dignity- a mighty sign of pride
Strong and proud and free
A symbol of eternity. why don`t we see
we can`t survive, if we don`t realize
our world is a place that can`t be created twice
