Edguy - New Video Online
"Robin Hood", the new video from German melodic metal band Edguy can now be watched below
Video director Oliver Sommer (Avantasia, Helloween) and the band decided to satirize the Errol Flynn film "The Adventures Of Robin Hood". The miniature epic was shot in the forest with a large number of additional actors, starring German TV comedian Bernhard Hoecker in two different leading roles.
Commented Edguy frontman Tobias Sammet: "When you decide to do things like that, of course, you have to be aware that you will most likely make a fool out of yourself. We had to wear tights and looked a bit like four idiots and one transvestite. But we have come to a point we don't care so much anymore. We feel like being in a luxury position where the record label gives us a lot of money to waste for really silly things like sneaking through the forest and looking like idiots.
The shooting was one of the funniest days in our career, and that means something. Although it was hard work ? the rain, the mud, soaking wet tights, angry horses, carriage, a lot of travesty, sword fighting and hurting smile muscles. You gotta check it out!"
"Robin Hood" comes off the band's upcoming new album, entitled Age Of The Joker, which will be released in Europe on August 29 through Nuclear Blast Records.
The CD was recorded at Peppermint Park studio (Scorpions, Phil Collins) in Hannover.
Age Of The Joker tracklist:
01. Robin Hood
02. Nobody's Hero
03. Rock Of Cashel
04. Pandora's Box
05. Breathe
06. Two Out Of Seven
07. Faces In The Darkness
08. The Arcane Guild
09. Fire On The Downline
10. Behind The Gates To Midnight World
11. Every Night Without You
Limited-edition bonus disc:
01. God Fallen Silent
02. Aleister Crowley Memorial Boogie
03. Cum On Feel The Noize (Slade cover)
04. Standing In The Rain
05. Robin Hood (single version)
06. Two Out Of Seven (single version)
