Timeline

1962

Michael Ingo Joachim "Weiki" Weikath (born 7 August 1962) is a German musician, best known as a founding member and one of the guitarists of pioneering power metal band Helloween.

Weikath was born in Hamburg and was musical from a very early age.

As a four to five-year-old, he would lie in the grass, looking at the sky, and come up with melodies in his head.

The first album he owned was 1962–1966 by The Beatles.

1971

He began taking a serious interest in music in 1971 and spent much of his time as a child at the tube stereo set of his parents, listening to all the stations available at the time.

1974

In 1974, Weikath started playing the guitar and later on began rehearsing with his friends.

1978

He formed his first band, Powerfool, in 1978.

Prior to forming Helloween, he worked for a record mail order company.

1982

In 1982, he served heavy social duty as an alternative to military service.

The main bands that have had an influence on him are The Beatles, Deep Purple, Scorpions, UFO, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, the Sex Pistols, and Wishbone Ash.

The guitarists that influenced him when he started playing were Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth, and Eddie Van Halen.

Weikath is one of the founding members of Helloween, along with Kai Hansen (vocals/guitar), Markus Grosskopf (bass), and Ingo Schwichtenberg (drums).

Weikath integrated the first Helloween line up in 1982.

1984

By 1984, the band had signed a deal with Noise Records and recorded two songs for a Noise compilation record called Death Metal.

On that album, he was responsible for the song "Oernst of Life."

1998

In a 1998 interview with Weikath, Chaotic Critiques webzine pointed out the occasional spiritual themes and uplifting melodies on songs such as "Hey Lord!"

and asked if the band was somewhat spiritual.

Weikath replied that all the band, except Uli Kusch, were Christian.

Weikath stated that he himself is Catholic.

Today, he resides in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

Like fellow Helloween guitarist Sascha Gerstner, Weikath is using a DigiTech GSP1101 preamp with a Marshall JVM410H amplifier for live performances.

2016

He had been one of only two original members still active in the band, the other being Markus Grosskopf, until Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske rejoined in 2016.
