I saw Helloween for the first time in Las Vegas last Friday, it was the first date of the US leg of their Pumpkins United tour. A few friends and I queued outside the venue (which was thankfully indoors!) all afternoon before the show (we wound up second row stage right!), and we were lucky enough to meet Sascha Gerstner, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath and Markus Grosskopf between 2:30 and 5:30 in the afternoon! All were extremely kind and were more than willing to sign my jacket which I'm really happy about. One of the best days/nights ever.

Woah, congrats! Meeting such an big and historical important and still down-to-earth band (for free and not for extra money!)! :) The gig surely was great? I've seen them on their tour here in Germany and the set was 2 1/2h long - amazing.

Thank you so much! And yes, the show was INCREDIBLE! Most of them interacted with my friends and I multiple times throughout the set (which was about 2h50min long) :) I've got a picture of Kai Hansen looking directly at me, I vaguely remember him looking at me when I took it but I didn't realize it until when I was going through my pics afterwards :o

Thank you! They were also willing to take pics so I have pics with each of them, I haven't uploaded any yet because I'm lazy haha (but I will soon!)
