Krokus (Official Thread)

Re: Krokus

Screaming in the Night has to be one of their greatest songs, the beginning just kicks ass. The video sorta sucks, but who cares. The solos have an awesome tone.
I think I'll check out their later LP's

This is a somewhat better video, and the song is KILLER. Love the vocals, and the mix is amazing.



This one got less airplay than the one you cited, but it was a bit higher in energy and my dad's favorite, heh.

Re: Krokus

Krokus were a pretty good band, some of their albums were a little hit and miss but Metal Rendezvous and Hardware were excellent.

Re: Krokus

My two favourite tracks off Metal Rendezvous

 

[E-Z]

THIS BAND PUT ME IN HOSPITAL.

I knew of this band in the early 1980s overhere in the U.K. when the N.W.O.B.H.M. thing was BIG for a couple of years at that time and although they were a Swiss-band they bacame part of the N.W.O.B.H.M. band-waggon.

Anyway one track in particular has a 'killer' lead guitar solo in it that just blew me away everytime (and it still does). The track is called- EAT THE RICH and i use to dig out my Gibson (copy) flying-V and 'throw shapes' during this number until the day that i injured myself and had to have an operation!!.
