Swazi Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 According to recent rumours the new singer of GOTTHARD will be Tommy Heart (Fair Warning). Apparently to be confirmed soon ........... If you have ever seen Tommy acting on stage this will not surprise you at all. He could be Steve Lee's brother. Not a bad choice at all, imo.

Cool - great singer. After the last shithouse Fair Warning disc I wouldn't care if they didn't bother recording anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Great if it's true - sounds awesome, Gotthard deserved to be continued, still with all due respect to the late Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Howdy Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Cant say I am familiar with Fair Warning, but as a big fan of Gotthard I am glad they are continuing and hope they can prove to be as successful without Steve. Nobody can replace Steve, but fingers crossed for the second stage of their career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Damn, I cannot say I'm a fan of this guy's voice and never have been... right back to the V2 days. He's not unbearable and I hope he works out for them. Would love to see the band continue well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullethead Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I miss Steve Lee... I am not a fan of Fair Warning either. I put Gotthard in the same category as Jaded Heart. Once they lost Bormann, the band was dead to me. Same here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 so who's gonna be the new singer of Fair Warning ? probably they should take Michael Flexig ? where is he now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIM (2) Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 so who's gonna be the new singer of Fair Warning ? probably they should take Michael Flexig ? where is he now ? Jesus, I hope to hell they don't take Flexig. Him and Tommy Heart tend to share vocals on the Zeno albums and Heart is a much better singer. If Flexig's voice gets any higher he'll be only be audible on sonar or to dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodicrockoz Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Tommy would be a great choice for Gotthard, in a perfect world, Fair Warning would tour as Gotthard's support with Tommy handling the vocals for both bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I actually honestly recall thinking a couple of times when I lost concentration, is this a shiela on lead vocals? But aside from that, I actually think it was a pretty good album.

There was a Zeno album last year but it was pretty average. He does sound like a woman mostly. Or, you know the noise when you accidentially tread on a cat's tail? Like that.

Ali Rock Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 As a huge fan of Gotthard I hope it's just a rumour. I don't mind Heart but He is not the right lad for Gotthard IMO. I had hoped for an unknown lad like Shakra did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodicrockoz Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well Tommy's just hosed off this rumour as being FALSE. In other news, Tommy's working on a solo album for 2012. No news on a Fair Warning album though. However the new singer of Gotthard is an Aussie guy who's name is Nic Maeder, some may recogize him from the band Maeder who were based here in Melbourne Australia.

embrock Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Okay, that's an interesting choice! I always thought he sounded a lot like Steve Lee on a couple of Maeder-songs, but I'm not sure if he can pull it of in the live-setting.

melodicrockoz Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I didnt mind Maeder as a live act, some 5 years ago, it seemed Melboure had a number of bands similar to Maeder playing around alot, wonder if any of those vocalists applied for the Gotthard gig.

embrock Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Have you guys heard the new song yet? It's available as a free download from their Homepage I like it quite a lot and I'm convinced they've made a great choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Wow, no hiding the fact that they've gone for complete Steve Lee type vocal, which I don't think is a bad thing at all. No one could ever replace him, but at least Gotthard will go on sounding like Gotthard. I'm really glad the Tommy Heart thing was just a silly rumour, but I am curious as to how it got that much credit when this guy had obviously been in the band for a while, long enough to record a new song? Oh, and it's a nice song too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
