Goodbye!
The time has come for me after 10 years of Megaherz to say "Adios"; starting the first of January, Wenz, X-ti, Olli, and Jürgen will continue without me; I have reached more with Megaherz than I ever thought possible; I have fought for German-language rock music, I wanted to show the people in Germany that their own language is more than well suited to make good rock music too; Yes, we had problems with the press as it officially began in 1997 with "Wer bist du"; we were condemned yearlong as a cheap Rammstein-copy and ignored, but we didn't give up and that was right and good.
In 1992 I had a vision and I lived for this vision and fought tirelessly; today we have friends and fans in the whole world (thanks to "Gott sein" and all the napster-users that thought it was a Rammstein song at the time); thanks to Betsy and Jobarr, you guys are the key to our international fans; we have so much to thank you for that it can't be expressed in words; your passion and enthusiasm brought so many people to us (and vice versa), that every record company and every management look like idiots in comparison with their boring ideas. I would like to thank everyone that has helped us not to give up and who believed in us and our ex-members: Noel Pix, Frank, Andi Knote, Gregor Minnig at ZYX, Peter Mathea, John Funk....just to name a few.
I am not fed up with music; I won't just leave and knit socks; I will not do the music business that favor, to say goodbye forever, because I like to be a "pain in the ass" much too much!
But: Megaherz and Alex do not love each other anymore; I am leaving the band because I represent a different artistic-creative and visionary opinion than the others; we have drifted apart and we can not work together anymore. This happens in families, businesses, bands, and friendships; a shame, but true;
I wish Mhz well and would like to close with the following words:
höchste zeit, jetzt muss ich gehen, wir werden uns bald wieder sehn, zulange schon quält mich diese sucht, die mir die kraft entzieht!
Stay how you are, believe in each other and believe in good music
I'll be back
adios
al (herzblut)
p.s. I was always a Rammstein fan and I will always be a Rammstein fan; just like I will always be a Megaherz fan! Stay true!
