Kai on stage with Angra

Written by Harald on .

On November, 5th the brasilian band Angra celebrated its 14th anniversary with a very special and extended show in Sao Paulo.

"...nevertheless, nothing of that would diminish the more than special participation in the festivities of a true living legend. Kai Hansen, former Helloween guitar player/singer and currently leading Gamma Ray, showed up on the stage to sing Temple Of Hate with the band. He was clearly amazed by the audience reaction to his presence and would come to the stage again to play guitar and sing during the execution of the Helloween hit I Want Out. People went nuts..."
