[edit] Your latest Edits on Thomas Anders page

I kept some of your additional information that you had made on Thomas Anders page, however, you had a lot of info that didn't need to be there as they never became even remotely popular, for example: the projects that he was involved in on aside. As for the tour, I went into his official web site "www.thomas-anders.com" and double checked it. The tour that was given in the cities you had mentioned, was after his Souled album not in '87 or '88. And it was in front of 85,000 people altogether, not 85,000 per concert. Let's have everything we are adding into this page in a very clear way. I have spent hours rectifying all the info (that the page contained two months ago) and hours adding more info. Thanks.

[edit] Thomas Anders tour 1987-1988

Thomas Anders toured as The Thomas Anders Show from April 1987 till February 1990 in stadium-like places: Katowice, Poland - April 1987; Budapest, Hungary - May 1987; Cesme, Turkey - July 1987; Moscow & St. Petersburg, USSR - October 4-10, 1987; Viña del Mar, Chile - February 21-22, 1988; Sun City, SAR - April 4, 1988; Viña del Mar, Chile - February 19-20, 1989; Eastern Germany - September 1989; Pretoria, SAR - October 12, 1989; Moscow,St. Petersburg, Kiev, Vilnius, Kaunas, Tbilisi, etc, USSR - February - March, 1990; Please see the back-cover of the official fan-club video-tape: http://www.thomasanders.ru/creative/discography/video/chile/chile_cov.htm

In 1996 Thomas Anders was involved in several dance-projects like Phantomas and Chain Reaction. It was a significant part of his career. Please see an interview given by the producer of the Phantomas-project Ramon Zenker (Fragma, Hardfloor) to www.moderntalking.ru (officially supported by BMG-Russia): http://www.moderntalking.ru/thomassolo/phantomas/interview2003_eng.htm


[edit] Different tour

You're a refering to an entirely different tour, the cities you had mentioned the first time in the article which I kept but moved to a correct timeline match perfectly to the ones they mention in his official web site which is not after MT's first split but it is after Souled album. And before only 85,000 enthusiasts. The one you are mentioning includes some of the same cities plus lots others before a huge number of people,however.

I also read the interview through the help of your link (thanks), and it's clearly explained by Ramon that they stopped it becuase they saw no success in the near future. That's probably also why they don't bring it up in his official web site. So let's sleep on that info for now.

Let's keep in mind that normally the official web sites are controled by what artists desire to include in. So if it's not there, it's probably because Thomas doesn't feel it is important. Consequently, we don't want to fill the wikipedia with the kind of stuff that are not worth mentioning.

Take care, Harout72

[edit] Discography & World tour

Please check info about Phantomas and Chain Reaction releases on: http://www.germancharts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Thomas+Anders

Just note: Probably you misread the information about the world tour on the official site. After the Souled album Thomas Anders toured mostly in Germany and Russia. The world tour took place from Spring 1987 till February 1990.

Sincerely, Bolafik


[edit] Are we both refering to the same site?

Thomas's official web site is www.thomas-anders.com. On the English version of the site, it talks of only one tour (click on the no. 4 of all numbers placed vertically). Whereas, the German version of the site mentions the same tour after souled as well as the tour given In chile in 1989. However, the one given after "Souled" is not just within Germany and Russia (tell me that you don't think Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipai are located within Russia nor Germany). So, as much as I respect an avid fan of Thomas Anders like yourself, please don't tell me I misread the TOUR INFO as I am fluent in both German and English.

I did check the Germancharts through your link, and it does not indicate chart positions on any of the releases, from which we could at least know how well the sales of the songs have been.


P.S. I never said I didn't believe that Thomas Anders was involved within other projects, but rather I said, they have never even remotely become popular. They are not worth mentioning. It's clear that YOU have MISREAD what I've written to you in the previous message (above).

Take care, Harout72
