RAGE Performs At 'Stockcar Crash Challenge'

October 13, 2010

German power metallers RAGE performed the song "Drop Dead" at Stefan Raab's "Stockcar Crash Challenge" on Saturday, October 9 at the sold-out Schalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The event was televised live on Pro7 and was reportedly watched by several million people.

Commented RAGE guitarist Victor Smolski: "As [soon as] we got the call that Stefan wanted his favourite metal band RAGE to perform at the opening of the show, we were pretty excited and just confirmed, of course, immediately." He continued, "The song 'Drop Dead' was chosen by Stefan. It was a lot of fun to play in front of the sold-out Schalke Arena on the truck with flamethrowers and pyrotechnics! Stefan controlled the pyros and at one point he was nearly melting the amps. " Frontman Peavy Wagner added: "Even if we got grilled, it was just an amazing experience." Drummer André Hilgers is still overwhelmed: "It was a breathtaking venue, a great crew and an absolutely awesome atmosphere."
