Re: Krokus

I'm a fan, They did have some fun cover songs & I love their Headhunter album. I also have 4 0r 5 of their records & enjoy them. I seen them open for Blackfoot & Ted Nugent around 1981 & they put on a good performance
WOW, that must've been awesome. Love Blackfoot too!
Saw Krokus at my first ever concert in 1983 opening for Def Leppard, with Gary Moore third on the bill.

Headhunter still gets regular spins from me. A couple of their more recent albums are actually pretty decent too.

Headhunter and One Vice At A Time are the only Krokus albums I return to. I know I have one of their other albums on vinyl but for whatever reason it is not memorable and not as interesting to me as Headhunter or One Vice At A Time. Their version of “American Woman” is the main reason I remain interested in listening to One Vice but Headhunter is a little more enjoyable even when you get past “Screaming In The Night”.

Yeah got to agree with your choice of Krokus albums including One Vice at a Time 1980 & Headhunter 1982 that I also like to still occasionally listen to. I have the cd album versions of all there albums from Metal Rendez-vous in 1979 to Heart Attack in 1987 and yes I also agree that their versions of American Woman and Screaming In The Hight are both good cover versions, obviously the boys listened to The Guess Who a lot.

I read back in the 1990s that all the boys were big AC/DC fans.

I've written about Krokus twice in my Cassette Chronicles series. I wrote about the Headhunter and Change of Address albums. I was supposed to go see them on their announced farewell tour but that would've been in November of 2020 and obviously that tour got cancelled.

Where are the Cassette Chronicles threads?

I feel like I have a 45 or two as well. Have to check my attic.

I had everything for the most part on cassette up through Headhunter. I checked out at The Blitz. I have Headhunter on CD, and the rest of their discography digitally.
I thought Hellraiser was a really good album.
