THIS IS WHAT THEIR PEERS HAD TO SAY:
LEMMY (MOTöRHEAD):
"Krokus toured with us in the US in 1982 and I found them to be a fine young lot of loonies full of vim and foolishness! I know the reunion works well for them and good luck with the new album"
ALICE COOPER: "Everybody knows, KROKUS rules. Rock on, boys!" (574 KB, MP3 File) GENE SIMMONS (KISS): "Great that the guys are back!"
OZZY OSBOURNE: "Unkraut vergeht nicht. Welcome back, boys!"
DORO PESCH: "Krokus war von Anfang an eine meiner Lieblingsbands und für mich sogar immer eine Quelle echter Inspiration. Die Stimme von Marc Storace hat total viel Gefühl und Power. Darum gehört er zu meinen absoluten Liebligssängern"
PETER MAFFAY: "Krokus zeigen, dass gewisse Musik kein Verfalldatum hat. Schön, dass man sie auf diese Art und Weise wieder-sieht"
UDO JURGENS: "Toll, dass Chris und seine Jungs wieder on the road anzutreffen sind. Ihre Songs aus der frühen Ära der europäischen Rock-musik hören sich noch heute gut an. Krokus sind der lebende Beweis dafür, dass wir Dinosaurier der Unterhaltungsmusik eben doch noch nicht ausgestorben sind"
Gölä: "Die Band machte mich stolz, ein Schweizer zu sein, als ich durch Amerika reiste und im Radio ‹Bedside Radio› lief. Die Band machte mich glücklich, als ich hörte, dass sie wieder zusammen spielen. Ich danke dem Gott des Rock’n’Roll. Krokus sind the greatest Swiss rock’n’roll band in the world"
FLORIAN AST: "Lieber Chris, du bist ein Platin-Junge, und ein echtes Platin-Comeback von Krokus ist nur mit dir möglich. Lass die Blüte noch einmal aufblühen!"
ADRIAN SIEBER (LOVEBUGS): "‹Metal Rendez-vous› ist die beste Hard-Rock-Platte, die eine Schweizer Band je aufgenommen hat. Die zweitbeste ist ‹One Vice at a Time› und die drittbeste ‹Headhunter›. Noch Fragen?"
