Reunited German heavy metal band Accept will play a one-hour-long set as the support act for AC/DC on May 25 in Hannover, Germany. According to a press release, "Everybody in Accept is honored and excited to perform with one of the greatest legends in rock and share the stage with their all time heroes."
Accept will play the only cover song it has ever recorded — "I'm A Rebel", which originally appeared on Accept's second album. "I'm A Rebel" was written for AC/DC by Alec Young (older brother of Malcolm & Angus Young and ), but it was never recorded by the Australian hard rock legends.
"Teutonic Terror", the new video from Accept, will make its online debut on MySpace today (Wednesday, May 5) at 12:00 noon EST / 9:00 a.m. PST. The clip was shot in March with director Dave Blass of Grid41.com and it promises to be the "most metal" Accept video ever.
The new lineup of Accept will play its first-ever concert this Saturday, May 8 at the 750-capacity New York City's Gramercy Theatre. Following the New York City show, Accept will head to Europe to perform special gigs in carefully handpicked venues in various European capitals.
