Time passes by, the world changes, people change,
relationships and friendships change and what I got to know very
deep: in bad times you find out who your real friends are.
There's been a famous person in my life that once said to me: "If
there are 50 persons in your life that are against you, it is not
for sure that these persons are right with what they
say!" Personal thanks to:
Jan-Georg ...
for the long and very good friendship that we had in the past starting
with our great work with the RVL-Kids and sadly though ending after
our fight in 2006. But however we did a incredibly great and unique
job with the kids and for sure we will always have that times in
our mind. It had become our second home and second family and made
us strong for the real life outside the team. What is more we had
a really f*****g great time on the road (Vienna 2005,...)! Jan ...
first of all for our everlasting friendship, the cool times we
had together especially in the past and in our "younger years"
with Tobias as well and for believing in me at any time in the
past and for letting me know that I can always count on you in
any situation of life. Jan: thanks for all your support in life
and with the rowing groups! It cannot be payed with money what
you did for me and the kids! Tobias ...
for the best friendship of the past in our childhood and when
we grew up in the same street. Finally I added you here as
well although we hardly have contact nowadays and both mainly
go our own ways I think. Kevin ... for our great friendship. You have been a good friend to me for such a long time, not only during our studies, respecting my opinions, thoughts and feelings even if it is not always like yours. In between I also got to know your thoughts and feelings quite well and we have some things in common! There are often things in our mind we don't have to talk about but know what the other thinks of (life, women,...)! You always took and take the time to help me if I need(ed) it in life... stay the way you are and be sure to have my biggest recognision for what you did/do for me in life! Great to see that you are going your way with your partner - she is it I know! Harald Well, actually not myself, but Harald as well *smile*! ... for the great time studying together, motivating each other any time and in any case where it's been necessary and talking about everything including women and life in general.
Although each of us now goes his own way and we have different kind of jobs and we live too far away from each other it's been cool to have you in my life and I maybe we will one day meet again in life?! My family in heaven and on earth ... especially my dogs "Schnuffi" & "Pummel" and my mum, simply for being and letting me grow up in such a positive environment. At least I started admiring it when I got to know through my studies and my work with kids and families that it is not taken for granted that you grow up so peacefully. It has not always been easy to get along with you/me but I think that belongs to growing up somehow!? Thanks for all the support you gave to me during all the years in the past, present and future! Lisa - "LZ 111" You
were supposed to be here as well after our ways got seperated
in 2006. You are still here and I think there really was a time
when I thought you really belong here at least as much as the
other persons even if times changed a lot during after a while. RVL-Kids 2002-2006 ...
especially for the great time we had in the past, for being my
second "family" and
my place to feel free and spent most of my time in life all
the years. It's really been something special for almost everyone
who had been part of it and we all learned a lot from eachother
I think. You were not at all only a youth group, you were
always something special for me! RVL-Kids 2008 ...
for giving me back the strength, energy and idealisme for
building up a new youth group at my last rowing club. RVL-Kids 2010 up to today... ...
again and again for ... Christopher & Dominique... ... and to their family including BRISKO and the other "zoo" ...for being so nice neighbours, students and even mates and almost my second family, too! Nicki: stay the way you are and you will find your way! Violetta: thanks for chatting all the time and supporting me in whatever happens in my life! Vio: I absolutely share your opinion about what belongs to a good friendship! And: thanks for charing my opinions and beeing there for me so many times, especially with good advice via ICQ but I always wondered, how you could manage your family and still have so much time left for listening to me all the time! *smile* Korbinian ... for the
cool time you've been my rowing-student but it's been much more
in my eyes! Thank you for the cool video-editing sessions in
my flat, for the insider-laughs (the ones that Pauline didn't
like at all! *LOL*)... and at the end most for believing in Tamara
and me all the time! I think we will have some more cool time
in the future, rocking on concerts or in the "bunker" as
we used to in the past! I will never forget you imitating Peavy
from Rage or playing drums to "Straight
to hell"! Stay the way you are, it counts a lot in life to
be able to advocate one's own opinion like you always do! Thanks for your statement
on your
homepage about the split at the rowing club and thanks to your
parents, too, for supporting me!
Klasse 4c - Grundschule Altwarmbüchen 2009/2010 ... at the beginning it's
just been a new kind of job for me.
But especially in the end it became a really great time with all of you even though it's been a hard time sometimes. There are so many moments that will remain in my mind forever... like the class trip to Hankensbüttel in the beginning, the meeting with Hannover 96 (shortly before Robert died) or all the last excursions at the end of the term (Wöhler-Dusche-Hof, Herrenhäuser Gärten). Special thanks first of all to Glenn!!! (stay the way you are!) but as well to Niko, Jonas S. (you'll find your way for sure!), Cedric, Jonas B. and Vanessa (the "Froop" girl!) from the girls but all other crazy kids as well! And last but not least the class teacher Frau Langer! PS.: Thanks as well to all kids during the breaks, especially Maksim for fooling around with you! Thanks
for the incredibly great and emotional time with all of you... ... even if
we normally don't find that much time to talk or meet, I know I
can count on you! I will never forget the first years "on
tour" with you, there
will nothing be like that again I think! Hope to see you soon at
another Metal-event! Basti: thanks for the homepage support and advice
and be sure you still can do the best and loudest burps in galaxy!
Kralle: thanks for the hottest signed Helloween Pic-LP collection
and for best deals on Merchandise ("Da nimmste's halt schnell
bevor's weg ist, das sind meine letzten Exemplare, die gehen weg
wie warme Semmeln")!
Janne Mattsson ... not only a Swedish-German
internet-acquaintanceship, but a really long friendship (almost about
ten years so far?!) after a funny beginning (oh, you are NOT a girl?)
beginning, many, many years ago! Thanks for listening to me all the
time during the chats and on the phone and thanks for telling me
I am right about what I do, feel and think! I hope we will finally
personally meet sometime in this galaxy!?
Update April 2007: ...so short as if it's almost been like a dream for both of us, but not unreal anymore, we made it! Thanks for your incredible kind hospitality, the friendly and familiar athmosphere with you, Pernilla, "Deris" and "Attila", the sweetest cats on earth! And thanks for the delicious and interesting meals! And be sure: the next time we will meet, won't take eight more years! Stay heavy! ;-) Update April 2009: "I am proud to be your friend! Let this friendship last so much longer that counting the years will get impossible!!!" Janne: "Heavier words than these have not been spoken and I agree with this sentence and your words to 110%! Thank you for having me in your life!" Thomas Nack ... first of all for being my all time favorite drummer! But there is much more I want to thank you for! For the cool but rare lessons and the nice time drumming together, for all your inspiring and very individual live sessions in the past and future... and not at least for the friendship all over the years (round about 5 or even more)! Thanks, too, for the kind talks in Hamburg, on the phone about life and it's problems,... all the best for you! Band thanks to: Music means a lot to me for sure. Without the music of some bands I would be nothing in this world, not even existing anymore in my eyes! The music of my favourite bands gives me the power I need in my life. It's real handmade music with emotions and feelings the only true music in my eyes. And for me it's not only the cool music the bands make, it's much more. It's the fact that I got to know their members as quite normal human beings with feelings faults and everything that I also have.
Helloween for sure belongs here in the frist place as you can guess from the whole layout of the page and from the link this page has.
Kai ("Großvater des Melodic Metal"), Henjo, Dirk and Dan ...for beeing one of my all time favorite bands and for all the cool events together with the Schizoid Clan and the great time especially on the "Powerplant Tour" in 1999 (11 shows in Germany and Austria ) but also on all other great shows in the past years you did! There were so many situations and times over the years in my life were you gave me the power to carry on! First of all your music and your lyrics give me the strength but what is more, your way of being and every minute with you does, too! Totally awesome! :-P
Iron Savior ...for being one of the most powerful metal-bands in my life and what is more, for being the kindest band and honest guys in the business! Thanks for all the time with you in the past and in the future and thanks for letting me be part of the show! Very strange that I so far do not have a picture of the whole band together with me - so definitely something to be done in the future. Special thanks to Yenz (together with me on the right) for the great chats and phonecalls and very very much thanks for supporting me with material for your webpages, graphics, texts or even mental support from you!
...for being one of my all-time favorite metal bands that has been part of my life since more then ten years so far! It's unbelievable how much power you, your personalities and your music has/have given me up to the present day and will do for sure in the future as well. My deepest respect for everything you did so far, always beeing honest and "true" and taking the music-business not too ! These word go out especially to Tobias Sammet, for me you are on the same high level musicians like André Matos, Michi Kiske are and I know how much these guys have influenced you and your style! Starting with the "Theatre Of Salvation" album and the following tour with Gamma Ray the story began. Every album that followed and every tour has become a special thing for me in my life and word can not describe what it means to me! Thanks for always being so warm friendly all the time!
... for all your great heavy metal music and especially the time with you in 2008: Dokkum (NL), Hamburg and Hannover (GER)! Thanks as well for some great Helloween cover songs, you make the pumpkin come alive!
... for all your music starting from your very first release in 2000 which in my eyes is one of the best debuts I know! Your music is so strong and emotional in one way that it's totally fascinating me. I remember so many nights where I've been sitting at home at my desk listening to your music and having a beer, or playing drums to one of your songs, like my absolutely fav. one, "My Land", escaping from reality into 'your' dreamland. Special thanks to Tommy (see picture) for one of my favorite drummers!
More bands will follow soon... Internet thanks to: Christopher Ullrich for
very quick, kind and individualized help with the
Webshop and Forum for the Iron Savior Webpage Final words: |
