	RAGE would like to wish you a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year"

19.12.2003 Metal X-mas by Victor Smolski
	Metal X-mas to all fans, friends, endorsement-companies and everybody who supported me in the last year. Every musician needs this feeling and energy of support like a car needs petrol! If you want to be fast you need a lot of it... This year was a year of great happenings: Recording a very cool album with Mike and Peavy, great shows at Bach-festival, Wacken, USA and Korea, the successful tour with Helloween (thanks to you "Pumpkin-heads",the friendliest headliner-band I ever played with, and to all Crew-members, especially to Charly and Jesus!), the most craziest and dangerous 24h Race at the Nürburgring, and last but not least: Opening the doors to my Metal-Club! Next year after working at our Rage-DVD I will go back to studio to finish my Solo-CD, which I delayed a few times because I concentrated myself on working with Rage. As a little present I have a lot of new MP3 files at my website! Thanks for all and a "Happy New Year"! See you at the shows next year...
