How Many Tears

"How Many Tears" is a track by German power metal band Helloween, featured on their 1985 debut album Walls of Jericho. The album captured the band's early raw energy, driven by the twin guitar work of Kai Hansen and Michael Weikath. For electric guitarists, the song offers an engaging study in fast, aggressive riffing and the twin-guitar interplay that helped define the European power metal sound of the mid-1980s.

  • Walls of Jericho was Helloween's debut album, released in 1985, showcasing their early speed metal foundation before their polished power metal era.
  • The song features twin guitar work from Kai Hansen and Michael Weikath, making it a strong study in coordinated rhythm and lead guitar roles.
  • Helloween formed in Hamburg in 1984 and became one of the most influential European heavy metal bands of the decade.

While Helloween primarily used Gibson SGs and Ibanez models, the Stratocaster's single-cutaway versatility and humbucker pairing offered similar sustain and upper-fret accessibility needed for their dual-guitar harmonies. The instrument's reliability and articulate pickup response aligned with the band's philosophy of letting tube amp tone and technique drive their signature power metal sound.
