Guitarist Micha Vetter recalls his first encounter with the track:

“Back then, as a 17-year-old, this song immediately grabbed me by the balls! The story and the emotions of the song completely captivated me. I had been a fan of Falco for a few years, but this song burned itself directly into my brain! Falco was an outstanding artist for me. I didn’t just see him as a singer – he was simply the epitome of a true artist. Jeanny wasn’t just a song, it was a monument he had created! And now, for the 40th anniversary, we wanted to pay homage to this song, a tribute so to speak. Of course, the song had to remain as original as possible, but we also wanted to create a version that sounds like BLACK & DAMNED. As a metal band, we naturally had to include a little guitar solo, and we wanted the song to sound bombastic. That’s why we made it “big” with a full orchestra. And since everything about the original was perfect, we even designed our video as close to the original as possible, so Falco fans can relive those days through our version.”
