Here's a few from me:

What's the possibilty of a North America tour in 2006? Will they headline or 
be part of some festival or support band for someone else?

Any further videos (or singles) planned for the new album?

What about the earlier rumor about this tour consisting of only songs played 
from the new album and the 2003 album?

Is Raven out of the band permanently or just for the tour?

Who is the "new" bass player?

Will the 2003 live dvd ever be released in any form?

Will "Gems of Power" ever be released?

Will the rest of the pre-90's back catalog ever be remastered and released?

Box set of rarities in the near future?
