Krokus
Anyone a fan?
These guys kicked ass back in the day and still look good during this clip live in 06.
Marc Storace still sounds as good as he did 25 years ago.
Opinions?

Haven't really kept up with their more recent stuff over the years, but loved them in their prime. On the real early stuff, especially songs like "Long Stick Goes Boom", they sounded like Sweden's answer to AC/DC.

That clip sounded great loved these guys back in the 80's still love them today, man if AC/DC ever needed to replace Brian Johnson (which i hope they never have do) what a perfect fit in Marc Storace...

I liked Headhunter, but after that I really haven't heard anything else from them. I heard The Blitz kicked ass also but I never got around to trying it out.

One Vice At A Time is the best AC/DC album AC/DC never made.
Well, there are 4 or 5 songs that would fit in on several AC/DC albums from that one - "Long Stick Goes Boom," leading the way. That is a GREAT song - and the album is a killer from start to finish!
Headhunter is another classic, and The Blitz is a good album (but not up to the standards of the previous two). To Rock or Not To Be is a solid, solid reunion album with the One Vice lineup intact, but that didn't last and now it's just Marc Storace and 4 other hired guns (Mandy Meyer among them, and he did have a brief stint in the band a while back).
But, MAN, back in '82 and '83 they were one of the best bands going! (And I've said for years that since Brian Johnson's voice is shot that Angus should just give Marc a call and make some magic!)

when Bon died he was in the running, but was counting on Krokus being big. I love Krokus, but in hindsight it was a big mistake.
