First of all, many thanks for taking time to do this interview and giving us the opportunity to ask you questions like this, that's really cool！
        After the China tour, could you express your idea, The fans of Vision Divine in China are longing to hear that.

1. It's your first time to visit china, how do you feel about this trip? and how do you feel about the fans in china?

WE HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY CHINESE FANS!

WHEN WE FLEW TO CHINA FOR OUR FIRST SHOW WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO
EXPECT FROM PEOPLE,BECAUSE IT WAS OUR VERY FIRST TIME THERE. WITH OUR GREAT
SURPRISE WE FOUND NICE PEOPLE, VERY FRIENDLY AND ALSO VERY HOT DURING OUR
SHOWS.WE ALSO FOUND GOOD FRIENDS OVER THERE, AND WE REALLY HOPE THERE WILL SOON BE ANOTHER CHANCE TO COME BACK AS WE LEFT A PART OF OUR HEART THERE.

2. There are 4 different venue in 4 cities, which one do you like better? live house or theater?

WE LOVED EVERY SINGLE SHOW. EACH ONE HAS BEEN DIFFERENT, IN ATMOSPHERE,
PEOPLE, ETC... BUT IN EACH CITY WE FOUND FRIENDLY FANS, LOUD FANS! WE WERE
SURPRISED TO SEE HOW LOUD PEOPLE WERE SHOUTING AND ENJOYING OUR SHOWS. WE ALWAYS DID EVERYTHING WE COULD TO GIVE OUR BEST IN EVERY SINGLE SHOW, IN
RESPECT TO THOSE FANS WHO WERE IN "THAT" SHOW, AND NOT THE ONE BEFORE OR THE ONE THE DAY AFTER. A SPECIAL DAY, ANYWAY, IT HAS BEEN THE SECOND SHOW WE HAD IN SHENYANG, IN A WONDERFUL THEATRE WHO WAS SOLD OUT. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
WONDERFUL,AND WE WERE REALLY PROUD TO KNOW WE'VE BEEN THE FIRST STRANGER
BAND WHO EVER PLAYED IN THAT TOWN!

   
3. The 2 Shanghai girls send you a traditional Chinese painting, how do you feel about the gift? do you know what does it means?

WELL I DON'T READ CHINESE, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD IT MEANS "VISION DIVINE". NOW
THAT PAINTING IS IN MY STUDIO, ATTACHED TO A WALL THAT EVERYBODY SEES WHEN
ENTERING THE ROOM!

4. Both girls follow you from Beijing to Shanghai, it should be the most crazy fans in china, do you have such crazy fans or things in the past tours?

AHAH! YES IT'S BEEN CRAZY! WE WERE SO MUCH SURPRISED! THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY
KIND WITH US, BRINGING NICE PRESENTS FOR EACH ONE OF THE BAND! I WISH WE
COULD HAVE DONE MORE FOR THEM BUT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO KNOW THAT WE WILL
BRING THEM IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER, AS THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE DON'T FORGET
EASILY.

ABOUT THE PAST TOURS, WE ALWAYS HAVE SOME "CRAZY" FAN , BUT THE WONDERFUL OF
THIS WORLD IS TO SEE THAT EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT. PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS A
DIFFERENT AND PERSONAL WAY TO EXPRESS THEIR LOVE FOR VISION DIVINE, AND THIS
IS WONDERFULL.

5. Could you tell us what's your daily life in tour?

OH, I DON'T DO THAT MUCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE TO PLAY A SHOW EVERY NIGHT
AND THEN WE HAVE TO FLY. I GENERALLY STAY IN HOTEL, IF THERE IS ENOUGH TIME
I TRY TO VISIT THE NEW COUNTRIES WHERE I AM, AS THE BIGGEST LUCK OF BEING A
MUSICIAN IS THAT I HAVE THE LUCK TO SEE SO MANY PLACES OF THIS WORLD, THAT I
COULDN'T HAVE SEEN OTHERWISE. THEN BASICALLY WHEN I AM IN THE HOTEL I PLAY
GUITAR WITH MY HEADPHONES!
  
6. You have high requirement in gears, is that the most important thing in tour?

IT'S NOT THAT WE HAVE HIGH REQUIREMENTS, BUT IT'S TRUE THAT OUR MUSIC IS
DIFFICULT TO BE PLAYED ON STAGE IF WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT.
CONSIDER WE ARE 6 MUSICIANS AND ALSO WE USE SOME SAMPLES FOR BACKING VOCALS.

IF WE DON'T HAVE A PROPER SOUND, WE CANNOT PLAY! THE ONLY PROBLEM I REMEMBER
OF THIS TOUR, IT'S THAT IN EVERY VENUE I FOUND AN AMPLIFIER WITH NO
FOOTSWITCH AT ALL! WITHOUT A FOOTSWITCH, I CANNOT CHANGE MY SOUND FROM
DISTORTION TO CLEAN, AND AS EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND BY LISTENING TO OUR
ALBUMS, ALL OUR SONGS HAVE BOTH DISTORTED AND CLEAN GUITARS, SO I NEED AT
LEAST THIS PEDAL SO THAT I CAN CHANGE THE SOUND DURING THE SONG! ABOUT THE
REST, I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE AN AMPLIFIER OR ANOTHER, I CAN PLAY WITH A
COMBO OR A ALL TUBE AMPLIFIER...

BESIDE ALL THIS, IF WE INSISTED SOMETIMES FOR SOMETHING, THAT WAS BECAUSE WE
ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR MIND. PEOPLE BUY TICKETS, THEY TRAVEL TO SEE OUR
SHOW. IT'S A SIGN OF RESPECT TO THEM, TO HAVE THE BEST SOUND AS POSSIBLE,
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE PAYS AND TRAVEL AND THEY COME TO THE VENUE FOR US. WE
MUST GIVE THEM THE BEST SHOW AS POSSIBLE!
I JUST HOPE YOU WILL NOT HATE US NOW, AHAH!

7. In China, you like to take pictures for fans on the stage, is that your hobby? Will these photos be appear at your website?

YES OF COURSE! IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO THINK THAT WE ARE PLAYING SO DISTANT
FROM HOME AND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE COMING TO LISTEN TO OUR BAND, OUR MUSIC!

THIS IS WHY WE ALWAYS TAKE PHOTOS OF OUR FANS. WE MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THAT
IF WE ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM,THEY ARE ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO US!
picTURES WILL APPEAR IN OUR WEBSITE AS SOON AS WE WILL COLLECT ALL THE
PHOTOS FROM ALL OF US.

 
8. Have you notice about the supporting bands? Can you tell us how do you feel about the China metal?

WE HAD SUCH A TOUGH SCHEDULE THAT EVERY DAY I ARRIVED TO THE VENUE VERY
TIRED, AND I ALWAYS TOOK SOME TIME TO REST FOR A WHILE, BUT I SAW SOME VERY
GOOD BAND, VERY GOOD MUSICIANS. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT IN CHINA AS WELL THERE
ARE PEOPLE MAKING METAL BECOME MORE POPULAR AND BIGGER.

9.In the end, will you consider to release a Live DVD after touring so much cities in the world?

NO, NOT THIS TIME. WE RELEASED A DVD ONE YEAR AGO, I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY
FOR A SECOND ONE. MAYBE NEXT YEAR, IF WE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO REPEAT SUCH
A LONG AND BIG TOUR AROUND THE WORLD, WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT.

10.  Will you come to China once again? Say somthing to fans in GuitarChina.

I REALLY HOPE SO!

AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, WE DID ALL THE BEST WE COULD TO PLAY GOOD SHOWS AND
MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY ABOUT THE BAND AND OUR MUSIC. I HOPE PEOPLE AND PROMOTERS

LIKED VISION DIVINE ENOUGH TO BRING US BACK. WE LOVED YOUR COUNTRY AND THE
FANS OVER THERE, AND WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO COME BACK AS SOON AS
IT WILL BE POSSIBLE. I CAN PROMISE PEOPLE THAT IF THERE WILL BE A CHANCE,
VISION DIVINE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE!

I WANNA PERSONALLY SAY "THANKS A LOT " TO ALL THE FANS WE MET ALONG OUR
SHOWS, THANK YOU FOR HAVING COME TO THE SHOWS AND FOR HAVING SHARED SOME OF YOUR TIME WITH US.MOST OF ALL THANKS TO OUR BIGGEST FRIEND, JOHN WEI FROM
GUITARCHINA.COM BECAUSE HE'S BEEN A TRUE FRIEND, VERY PROFESSIONAL AND A
TRUE TOUR MANAGER, WHO WAS GIVING US THE TIMES FOR LUNCH, DINNER, AIRPLANES
ETC... HE'S BEEN A GREAT GUY AND WE WILL BRING HIM IN OUR HEARTS TILL THE
NEXT TIME WE WILL HOPEFULLY BE BACK! SEE YOU SOON!!!
