Template talk:Avantasia

Other members of the project

Since Tobias Sammet is the only official member of the project, I think there's no reason to add other members, even if they had contributed to a considerable number of songs. Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 16:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

But on "The Scarecrow (album)" and the two upcoming albums Tobias Sammet, Sascha Paeth, Eric Singer and Miro is heard on all tracks. They aren't considered official members by Tobias, but they deserve to be.User talk:Lolknuth 16:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, but they are always credited as guests, not members. Avantasia itself is presented as "Tobias Sammet's Avantasia". The best thing we could do for them is to place Sascha Paeth, Eric Singer and Miro in the same line as Henjo Richter, Markus Grosskopf and Alex Holzwarth, leaving only Tobias as a constant member.

What I think is, this template should have the musicians who play with Avantasia in the shows and (why not?) all the guest musicians featured in the albums, just like "Arjen A. Lucassen's 'Ayreon'" template. Robson Milk 11:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobsonE (talk • contribs)

Ayreon guest musicians have a separated template, because there are so many contributors that the main Ayreon template would get too messy - and this one will get messy too if we add all those musicians. Bands with guest performers in general have no links to them in their templates, e.g. Template:Santana. Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 15:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
