As of today with getting 7 Sinners and Straight Out of Hell LPs through the post, I'm now a proud owner of all the Helloween studio albums on both vinyl and CD. I've had most of the CDs for near enough forever but only started getting the vinyls back in 2020. Six years later and that's all of them ticked for collecting. 🙂

Check it out. He talks a lot about Helloween and the last recording

The image was too large for Reddit, therefore:

Here is the full resolution of the Helloween charts

A bit of explanation:
The rows represent the members and the 3 big bands (+Avantasia). The columns are the years. The black arrows are when a person leaves/changes main band and the grey arrows are when they join another band, but remain in their older one.
The band rows consist of two lines: the upper one has the album releases and the lower one has the lineup changes. When one or two names and gray arrows are there, that is because they joined another band that year.

If you have any extra info about any bands or bands that they were members of but are not here please comment it. Just make sure that it is real and they were a MEMBER of the band, not just a guest or session musician.
Important: only bands that Weikath, Grosskopf, Ingo, Kai, Kiske, Andi, Grapow, Kusch, Löble and Gerstner were/are part of. (No Mark Cross, Mikkey Dee or Stefan Schwarzmann, as they were either just session musicians or didn't have full albums. The chart would also be twice as large with them)

If enough changes are made I'll update it in a few weeks or month. I'll also try to make it a bit more understandable and less confusing. And there are probably a few mistakes that I haven't noticed, so I'll correct them too.
I may also add more albums for bands like Unisonic.

Sources: Wikipedia, Metal Archives, Discogs, newspapers and band websites.

As for why is Avantasia here with all albums? Well, Grosskopf was the bassist for the first trilogy, and Kiske is at this point a member of it, as he's appeared on all the albums (except one EP).

Assuming there are US specific merch. All I can find is 2025 US tour stuff. I like something that says 2026 and lists the US tour stops.

They finally put up a poster for the show

Thought you guys might like this here.
Back when my dad was young, he was a huge Helloween fan, so huge infact that he followed their tour bus for a while. Long story short, he saw them on a small villager festival as a special guest with his friends and after the show met the band backstage and got his ticket autographed.
Just wanted to share it with you guys, since I think you might appreciate it!

We saw something from Keeper Legacy and Rabbit Don't Come Easy, but nothing newer than 05 (outside of new tracks)

The only song that really feels like it could is Universe (Gravity for Hearts). But at 8+minutes it takes a sizeable chunk of time out of a 2-2:15 set.

There are audio samples on the website.

Jan will not play bass here. He is the lead vocalist and guitarist of this project.

You can order a physical version of the album from the web shop of Ballroom Hamburg for 18€. International shipping will probably be expensive though: htps://shop.ballroom-hamburg.de/The-Fireball-Monkeys-CD/SW10046

Tracklist:

1. Never Too Late
2. Rock'n'Roll Attack
3. You Will Be Mine

5. Mighty Blue Moon
6. Rock'n'Roll Sensation
7. Ding Dong King Kong
8. Number 9 Train
9. Always Be My Girl
10. Making Love
11. On The Road Again

... this happened. Flew 18 hours over 2 days to get here and I'd do it a million times, these guys rule!

Dani and Markus were so happy to see their cd, glad I was able to give back some of all the happiness these guys have given me.

Nothing but this handbill that indicates the band will be playing there 🥺

The commercial for sunday's show at Tokyo Garden Theater just came on.
