Hubi Meisel

This time, when I was born as Hubertus Johannes Meisel in Frankfurt/Germany in summer 1974, I had already been influenced by the music of Mozart, as my Mom used to play his music to me during her pregnancy. In my early childhood (we had meanwhile moved to a tiny Bavarian village near the Alps), my interest in music was becoming more obvious... I was often seen singing into plugs or conducting with a carrot... In 1987 I finally heard of groups like Savatage, Accept, Maiden & AC/DC and started acquiring a taste for that kind of music. In 1989, I joined some guys from my neighbourhood to play songs of Deep Purple and the Scorpions. We named our group SILK ‘N‘ RAGS, then recorded several demo-tapes, played many local gigs and just had a great time!
