So you guys remember when I said, "Gee, Edguy sounds a lot like Avantasia"? And you disregarded me and said I was dumb about not liking Edguy (which, for the record, I do, now that I own an album).
Well, I was right. Tobias Sammet is the lead Edguy guy, and Avantasia was his side project.
Just FYI. And a big fat told you so.
