Edguy's "Rocket Ride" enters German charts at #8

The latest album from German power metal kings Edguy has entered the charts at the 8th position. It also entered at #8 in Sweden and #25 in Finland. The band's frontman, Tobias Sammet, had the following to say on the subject:

"It's unbelievable and it proves once more how loyal heavy metal fans and EDGUY fans are. We're certainly proud of our fans, especially because beforehand the suit-and-tie-people said it would be a difficult week to release an album cause the stores are full of ROBBIE WILLIAMS and MARADONNA and what's-his-name. They call it a lot of 'traffic.' Nobody told them rockets are not supposed to get stuck in traffic jams. ;-) I don't wanna believe there's a wrong time for a right album.

"Anyway. thank you all so much and now it feels even better to be on tour, 'cause it's our chance of saying 'thanx' to each and everybody personally. We're in England right now and England kicks arse, the venues are packed and I fucking wonder how come people say there are no metal fans in England. England's metalheads kick ass!"
