Sölvesborg - Like in the good ole days KROKUS roar and rock in front of ten-thousands of fans. And shared the main stage with acts like Kiss and Status Quo that they toured with in the 80's.
It has been a while since the rockers played in front of such a large crowd. 40'000 fans screamed and yelled and danced to the KROKUS hits like «Long Stick Goes Boom», «Bedside Radio» and «Hoodoo Woman» at the SwedenRock Open Air Festival, one of the biggest and most prestigeous in Europe.
«We were steaming hot, inspired by the crowd and gave it our all», explains Marc Storace. «It was like a madhouse, already at the airport dozens of fans wanted autographs». And backstage at the festival old friendships were renewed with Kiss (with whom we toured in the 80's in the USA), Status Quo (with whom we will play this coming Friday in Murten, Switzerland) and Asia (Mandy was a member of that band at one time).
«At the festival there were not only hard rocker guys, but also tons of nice looking rocker gals», added bassist Chris von Rohr with a wink of an eye.
Sölvesborg - Elchtest bestanden! Wie zu ihren besten Zeiten lassen es Krokus vor zehntausenden von Fans richtig krachen. Auch alte Weggefährten wie Kiss, Status Quo oder Asia gaben sich in Stockholm die Ehre.
Vor einer solch eindrücklichen Kulisse haben die Solothurner Musiker lange nicht mehr Krach gemacht. 40'000 Fans jubelten Krokus am Wochenende zu, als sie am Sweden-Rock-Open-Air ihre Hits «Long Stick Goes Boom», «Bedside Radio» und «Hoodoo Woman» spielten.
«Wir haben mächtig Dampf abgelassen», sagt Sänger Marc Storace. «Es war verrückt, bereits am Flughafen mussten wir Dutzende Autogramme verteilen.» Am Festival trafen Krokus auf alte Weggefährten wie Kiss, Status Quo, Saxon und Survivor.
«Es hatte dort aber nicht nur harte Elch Typen, sondern auch jede Menge schöne Elchinnen», so Bassist Chris von Rohr augenzwinkernd.
