Thank you very much. I have been afraid of posting that into the board at first. I was thinkig of the huge mass of 'true' Priest fans, trying to tear us down after watching the clip. As a small local band, we always looked up to those great bands like Judas Priest, Saxon etc. of course. But we also saw some kind of 'idols' in other local bands, having been on stage much longer. One of that bands was called NOIZE. Those guys nearly 'lived' with us in the same practicing room for about ten years. Their cover version of the song inspired me to also do that song, which was originally released in the year I was born. In every case of life, I think it is very important to have such idols, since they are the ones that bring you forward in the end.

People shuold not take our video too serious. I am definitely not a Priest singer. But "Heading out to the highway" is quite a cool song made by one of the biggest bands on earth. Our interpretation is just meant to be a link to the past ... for memory purposes. People don't know that we did not get into a studio for recording. We used an old personal computer instead. We also did not have a professional camera, but used the video function of a standard digital photo-cam instead. As we prepared for "the race" ... to be located at a bus stop near the high school we all went to ... the local security watched us and called the police. We had already done a few pre-start-shots, when the police arrived. Finally - after long minutes of discussion, trying to not get arrested - we still had both cars parking parallel in the middle of the street. Being forced to drive away anyway ... we got the chance / were allowed to do that last shot. And so we did. This is actually the reason, why you do not see more takes of the race itself. In the end, I think, our hometown police dept. still doesn't know that it is co-starring in the clip.

It was really fun. And that is, what it always should be.

Yours

		Nice! Liked some of those camera angles (eg. guitar cam..heh). Great throwback to the vid getting those cars ready for the race too!
