Check out "To Rock Or Not To Be" or "Rock The Block".....very heavy AC/DC vibe. I think there are stories that Storace was a candidate to be AC/DC's singer after Bon Scott died. He does sound A LOT like Bon.
Any love for KROKUS?

I have a greatest hits compilation of them that I've listened to on occasion. I don't dislike the band, but they always had an AC/DC vibe for me.

I think any band that uses that guitar tone gets labelled AC/Dc clone, throw in a singer with a little raspy voice and it's all over.
Krokus
Rhino Bucket
Dirty Looks
to name a few.
I like all the above bands, love my rock n roll, I don't care what anyone says.

It was always the vocals that I heard the AC/DC in. As much as Tom Kieffer or any of those raspy guys. Though Krokus vocals were more melodic.
Do think Bon had a very punk approach not that he planned it that way. Hell at the time there was not defined "punk approach" to anything really. A similar comparsion would have been D'ianno.
For many years one thing that kept me away from Krokus was the vocals sounding like AC/DC and all the cover tunes. I guess Matt and Dio finally beat the Krokus into me.
By the way Matt do you need to replace 'Heart Attack'? I picked an extra up a week ago.

"Long Stick Goes Boom" is as close to AC/DC as it gets. First time I heard that song I thought it WAS AC/DC. When I learned it was Krokus, I quickly dismissed then as an AC/DC clone. Then Headhunter came out and "Screaming in the Night" just blew me away along with the rest of the album. Saw them open for Def Leppard (Pyromania tour) at my very first concert and loved them ever since. Great underrated band that I'd love to see again.

...that's good man, we love our rock n roll too! No one is saying anything against rock n roll.

Nah, that wasn't a jab at anyone, just an open statement
Yea, good call on that one.
Not really a KROKUS tune that quickly comes to mind, as that really isn't their core sound, IMHO.
Though if this is the tune you heard first, I can see how one would write them off as an AC/DC clone.

It NEVER ends
I started with Metal Rendevouz and stopped after the Blitz.
Still like those early albums, and I did see Krokus & Motorhead in 1982 after a disasterous Prom Night!

A documentary is already done. In the year 2004 Krokus came out with a complete Cinema Movie "as long as we live". The complete Krokus story...interresting for fans. Could be possible that you find the DVD somwhere in America but as far as I know the release was only in Europe.

NICE! Where was this show at?
I am a huge Motorhead fan, so I am interested in ANY story about any Motorhead show attended.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
Well, there you go.
That wasn't even really advertised in the underground community!
I would venture to say that few even knew about that one.

I wasn't a Motorhead fan until I saw them on the Metal Masters Tour. I came out of there a converted follower! One of the best live bands that I've ever witnessed to grace the stage.

I used to really love Krokus back in the 80s. Headhunter was a killer album. Still is. Eat the Rich, Ready to Burn, Stayed Awake All Night, and Russian Winter! Good stuff. When I first went to college and moved into my dorm room. I was cranking some Headhunter on my turntable and some guy came into my room and said, "I thought I heard some Krokus." hehe.
I saw them open for Sammy Hagar on the VOA tour. They kicked all kinds of ass and were my favorite concert up until that time. Then Sammy came on and blew them away - the last tour with Bill Church on bass. It still ranks pretty high as one of my all time favorite shows as it was the Headhunter tour.
