ACCEPT: 'Teutonic Terror' Video Featuring Fan-Shot Footage Posted Online
April 13, 2011Reformed heavy metal legends ACCEPT have released a new video for the song "Teutonic Terror" featuring footage that was compiled using over 100 fan-filmed concert clips.
Commented ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann: "It's amazing now everyone has a camera and can videotape the shows. Back in the day it was a big issue with people bootlegging concerts, [and] now everyone does it. Five minutes after the show's over, it's on YouTube, so we thought this would be a fun way to embrace it rather than to fight against it.
"Back in '85 we did a live album in Japan which was called 'Kaizoku-Ban', which roughly translates to 'Bootleg', so I guess this is our 2011 answer to that.
"It's been a amazing ride, and it's far from over."
ACCEPT will take part in an in-store signing session and meet-and-greet on Friday, April 15 between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at Best Buy Oxford Valley in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. Pick up your copy of ACCEPT's "Blood Of The Nations" on CD and have it signed by the entire band. Drum heads will be available to purchase as well to have the group sign.
