EdguyLogo.png formed in 1992 by Tobias Sammet and 3 school mates. The name was the name of "Mr. Edgar Siedschlag", their math teacher at the time.

The band was signed in 1995. Their first two albums didn't do very well, but Vain Glory Opera did in 1998! Timo Tolkki of Stratovarius & Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian were guest performers on this album. The band was signed to Nuclear Blast in 2004.

Re: Edguy

I see you have been busy MP,,,thanks for doing EDGUY saves me the effort of writing it myself.

OB I have everything except his latest live album, I think "Hellfire Club" or "Mandrake" would be a good place to start. Tobias Sammet is a very Prolific artist, he has done great work with EDGUY and according to an impeccable source(MP...:D) another "Avantasia" album is coming out in a few months.
