Since I live in Switzerland, I wanted to know what you guys think about one of the only famous band from this quiet country...

(I already have an idea on the result of this poll, but I don't want to influence you...)

Cheers,

Aleks.

"Tonight . . . long stick goes boom!"

One of my favorite sexual metaphors ever. How can you not like a band whose entire existence is predicated upon creating a facsimile of Bon-ers AC/DC?

I remember in the days before MTV, when LRS-102, Louisville's premier rock station of the time, had a cable channel that showed early videos and, occasionally, live clips. Well, there was a six- or eight-song Krokus set, and they ran around the stage like maniacs. That was some roedy fucking rock & roll.

I heard a funny story about Krokus once. Actually, it's really about the Suburbs. One summer, back when there was a Chicagofest, the Suburbs were booked to play on a bill right before Krokus. The crowd, mostly Krokus fans, responded predictably, hurling insults and garbage at the stage. One guy marched back and forth across the front row holding up a sign pointed at the band that said "YOU FAGS SUCK". The other side of the sign, the side pointed at the crowd, said "THESE FAGS SUCK."

I saw After the Fire (of "Der Kommisar" fame) open for Van Halen at Louisville's Freedom Hall, and I thought they were gonna get dragged off the stage and killed.

My friend Mick saw Autograph open for Van Halen another time, and he said that this biker dude stood next to him--front row, center--flipping the double bird for Autograph's entire set and screaming, "YOU SUCKK!!!" so loudly that Mick said he thought the guy's head was gonna explode.

CRAP.

Their version of "School's Out" sucked.
