Krokus the blitz rar

The scuffle was like something right out of the Wild West. As drew to a close, Krokus were still living the rock-star dream. We had too much success and there was too much of everything. Time was running out for von Rohr, who Stone had identified as a trouble maker, and when the guitarist gave a tell-tale interview to a leading Swiss newspaper, in which he spilled the beans about life on the road, the bullet arrived.

I was starting to ask why, and he began dissing me to the rest of the guys. Sadly, Krokus only became more and more tepid. Everybody was trying to squeeze singles out of us, when we had made our reputation as an albums band. Everybody was fried. And when Fernando walked out the rest of us followed him. In the late s, Fernando von Arb put together a von Rohr-less line-up that was fronted by ex-Persian Risk and current Nazareth singer Carl Sentance, but the album they made, Round 13 , flopped.

At the start of the current millennium, von Rohr and von Arb began to meet regularly for tea and conversation. In , having spent time exorcising the issues of the past, Krokus reunited for a Swiss TV show, and went on to record couple of original albums and a covers set.

Ageing and having families brings acceptance of the strengths and weaknesses of others. Krokus' second album, To You All, found them pursuing a tougher hard rock sound with a revamped lineup: Von Rohr moved from drums to vocals, Fernando Von Arb came on board as second guitarist, and the band had a new rhythm section, bassist Jurg Naegeli and drummer Freddy Steady the new members were all previously with the group Montezuma.

By this time, Krokus had become a leading draw in Switzerland and Europe through steady touring, and were gaining momentum in England and the United States. Released in , One Vice at a Time was recorded after the band had signed a new management deal as well as a contract with Arista Records in the United States; it also marked the recorded debut of guitarist Mark Kohler after the departure of Tommy Kiefer.

The album sold well and the songs "Long Stick Goes Boom" and "American Woman" the latter a cover of the Guess Who's hit became modest hits, but their biggest breakthrough in the United States came with 's Headhunter, which went platinum in America and gold in Canada and Switzerland, spawning the hits "Screaming in the Night" and "Eat the Rich. Issued in , Change of Address was a commercial and critical disappointment, and after the live album Alive and Screamin', Krokus entered into a short-lived deal with MCA for 's Heart Attack, which featured new drummer Dani Crivelli.

Following an international tour in support of Heart Attack, Krokus went on hiatus, and while Fernando Von Arb formed a new version of the band with no other previous members to record 's Stampede and 's Round 13, other figures from Krokus' classic period drifted in and out of the group for several years, and Von Arb bowed out for a few years following wrist surgery in In , the best-known members of Krokus were persuaded to reunite for a special television appearance, and after Mark Storace, Fernando Von Arb, Mark Kohler, Chris Von Rohr, and Freddy Steady wowed the crowd and paid tribute to Tommy Kiefer, who died in , they played a massive homecoming show in Sweden and regrouped in the studio to record a new album, 's Hoodoo.

In May , the ongoing reunion hit a snag when it was announced that Freddy Steady had left the band, though Krokus vowed to continue, releasing their 17th album, Dirty Dynamite, in Sign In. Listen Now Browse Radio Search.
