Jon Schaffer Interview
Region Code: All
Video Standart: PAL (European Version) / NTSC (U.S./Canada Version)

Iced Earth frontman Jon Schaffer isn’t one of those metal musicians who only want to entertain their fans with their music. On the contrary, Schaffer uses his compositions to acquaint his fans with historic events and to kindle their interest in subjects that they probably wouldn’t have access to otherwise. He has repeatedly proved to be an artist who is fascinated by politics and history and looks beyond the boundaries of his genre, basing his songs on educational objectives. Iced Earth’s 2003 album, "The Glorious Burdon", was a milestone in terms of music and subject matter. Particularly the concert version of "Gettysburg (1863)" is a successful opener to a historic chapter that is directly linked to the contemporary US. The brand-new double DVD of the same name is about to round off Schaffer’s ambitious project.

In three parts ("The Devil To Pay", "Hold At All Costs", "High Water Mark"), Iced Earth narrate the historic events that took place in that legendary location in Pennsylvania in July 1863, when the Confederate troops met the Union in the most blood-soaked battle ever on American soil. Iced Earth and their "Gettysburg" DVD chronicle this dramatic historic subject in language, images and sound more comprehensively than any other rock band before them. “I’ve visited the original battle sites several times and read a lot of books about the subject”, says Schaffer. “But I’d never claim to be a Gettysburg expert. I can still find out much more about it because I’ve realized: the more you study this battle, the more different points of view you’ll discover.” Also included for the first time is the track in two different 5.1 Surround Sound versions (Metal and Orchestral).

Agradecimentos especiais pelo brilhante trabalho a Evandro "IcedPriest" do antigo site Disciples Of The Ice, na qual tínhamos e ainda temos grande respeito. É uma pena que "alguns cidadãos" preferem jogar fogo onde não tem lenha.
