EDGUY Report On 'Robin Hood' Video Shoot; Single Artwork Revealed





EDGUY have just returned from the video shoot for 'Robin Hood', the
opening track from the band's forthcoming new album, Age Of The Joker.


Video director Oliver Sommer (AVANTASIA, NENA, HELLOWEEN) and the
band decided to satirize the Errol Flynn version, 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.





Tobias Sammet says: "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!"


The single, 'Robin Hood' will be out on August 5th and will be
available as download and on green vinyl. The video version of the song
was cut down to 5 minutes, but the album version has a running time of
more than 8 minutes.
