[ShatterTheSkiesAbove]

Is that crowd serious?!?! They look dead! I'd be going nutzzzz

[P00TANARA]

1:28 board...sombody shoot me..

[radiomayradiomay]

Bon Skott - First :-)

[f4llen4]

JIM MORRISON? WTF

[cantbangel]

1982 yee haw baby those were the daze

[mshepboy]

Seems like an exciting crowd

[TheHarsaw]

I like this band since my age 18... it's along time ago... when my country (indonesia) a lot of local music & american/british music invasion to my country...but, i am in love with first listen, and now i really love when i found this video... full of memories... Long live rock!

[Damienola]

fuckin peoples they listening this music and just staying idle and eats fucking gums!

they are really american womans

[chrltylr40]

I agree Krokus rocks. Saw them in the 80s opening for Kiss and they almost blew Kiss off the stage. Even better live... NOt an easy feat..

[DarthChrisB]

7 people are not neutral

[68mufflerman]

KROKUS RULES!!

[Swingkyd1]

Although I like this version....I still think Krokus is hilarious in hindsight... I mean c'mon...the singer just barely survived being thrown into a blender with that shirt! Was probably thrown there by Def Leppard's Joe Eliott...Kudoos for being opening act for many greats though...!

[golyg]

weak cover. any garage band is as good as these pretenders

[fweekstir]

@tjrtherocksponge Yes, they kept the original groove and made it way better. Props to burton cumming and co. but this is really nice. marc kicked the vocals up 2 notches.

[smyle0123]

My God ... I always think the same : Lenny Kravitz must be buy all his copies of this song after hear Krokus's version ( they respect the original version and made a beautiful and good taste guitar solo ) ...and burn that copies , jajajaà !!!

[Syntarro]

the fan @ 2:06  took on the whole band later that evening

[johnsheane]

I REALLY like the Guess Who but this version kicks ass

[thoomoo]

Great version

[livewirevirginia]

dude at 1:30 hahaha what a weak crowd

[AssassinTheHasson]

I watched the first 20 seconds and thought "FUCKING WMG" then it kicked in and I was like "...oh..."

[lisduggan64]

Look at the guy at 1:28 -sums up the world's attitude to Krokus unfortunately.

[mafelkins]

cooool ! dude !

[snakekramer]

Fernando von Arb is one goofy motherfucker but then again most great guitar players are lol

[triplexxxsatyr]

That's a damn good cover.

[henloz]

they kicked ass....what ever happened to them...the 80's rocked

[snakekramer]

@henloz They just released a new album and are touring I think

[geertwildersful]

KROKUS ROCKS FUCK BIEBER WITH A DONKEYDICK

[Flagg1991]

@randysrandy

Yeah, right? You ever seen the video for Protection from 1976? The crowd was sitting down like a bunch of stone statues.

[juanjodestroy]

gilipollas no suena

[MrMAndiG]

[MrMAndiG]

The dude at 1:26 looks like Asterix! :)

[charliegrech]

[charliegrech]

Swiss and Maltese

[Pitfeder]

Saggstark..!

[BlueSabb]

Go Swiss Krokus ! Ban the minarets !

[beatus61]

Alles geili Siächä

[karlmoles65]

Best cover of this song ever. Von Arb's riffing is just in-sane

[Baugin1]

I think he´s a good singer!

[baddfingerz]

Hell yeah

Only wish I was old enough to have seen them circa 1983 - Headhunter era

THIS WAS "METAL"!

[JaViNrY14]

the singer looks like bon scott!!! great song whatever

[halfordsdoll]

The year he hit on me in Dallas at the Texxas Jam in the Hyatt hotel. Mary Kay convention was happening and I also met Dio that night.

[Mystifier122]

This lineup of Krokus is back together and has just finished recording a new album called Hoodoo.

[gcugotteron]

grüessech wou mir chöme vo solothurn

[Zedster88]

Yes they are still together. Just finished a new studio CD

[schischaraucher]

Krokus... The father from a girlfriend of me is the guitarrist

[pigletized]

Great band, I wonder if they are still together and play today over 25 years later.

[eaglenook]

these guys just crank out this song. have watched newer versions by this same group this is by far the best done video

[southamericanrocker]

Great Version!

[Thunderstruckplayer]

like this version a lot :)

[gundejuz]

EUROPE AC/DC

[AceOfHeart2012]

Krokus kicks ass. Still. All you haters out there just remember that Marc Storace has seen more ass than a toilet seat. Quality ass.

[DrRockso99]

Krokus fuckin rules. To all the douchebags who don't agree, what the fuck are you doing here then? Go watch your justin timberlake videos or whatever gay crap you like. Why come here trolling for an argument?

[8kajis]

@DrRockso99

Sorry dude , but this is gayer than justin Timberlake.

This is gayer than Jonas brothers.

The faggy shit solo and the Ice cream girl really remind me of jizz licking faggots.

[Flagg1991]

@8kajis

Huh? You're joking, right?

[umjustefra]

@DrRockso99

Brilliant Dr,I agree with every word,

[neo123sos]

@DrRockso99 Krokus takes good songs that were made in the 70's and 80's and turns them into shit. I hate Justin Timberlake.

[DrRockso99]

@neo123sos Krokus has taken a couple decent songs from the 70s and 80s and made them Metal! If you don't like metal, then you wont like Krokus, in which case go listen to Lady GaGa douchebag. It's not really relevant which gay music it is that you do like specifically, whats important is that you don't like metal, and if you don't, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

[MrBranMuffins]

@DrRockso99 lol 1 year ago it was justin timberlake now its justin beaver. justins are trying to ruin our style of musical choice

[lisduggan64]

@DrRockso99 Krokus were the best AC/DC tribute band ever - even if they did "write" their own songs...and cover a few others....like this

[DrRockso99]

@lisduggan64 They definitely do have an early AC/DC thing going on. Didn't AC/DC try to get Storace to front for them after Scott died too??

[lisduggan64]

@DrRockso99 didn't know that. He looks a bit like Scott with the wiry hair and bare torso....I think Brian Johnson was the right choice though - Bon Scott recommended his didn't he. I have that reggae(ish) 12" inch (yellow vinyl) of TOkyo Nights - yep I'm that old - was there for Krokus first time around in 1980...great song and cool old record.

[musicgirl094]

@DrRockso99 "justin bieberlake" hahahahahahaaa that made my day lol.

i didn't know Krukus write this song :P (or is it a cover?)

Krukus rulessssss !! :D :D

[DrRockso99]

@musicgirl094 No, Krokus didn't write it, this is a cover. If you like this one, they have another great cover of "Ballroom Blitz" that you should check out.

[bloodbrotherz67]

this version is much better. than the guess who or kravitz.

[CrazyDiamond5321]

Better than Kravitz, yes.

[karlmoles65]

Goddamn right it is

fernando Von Arb is just PWNING that guitar..what a fucking almighty riff

[bernalj90]

i truly hope that you're either being sarcastic or tone-deaf

[bradtolbert7]

hmm well dont see how they butchered tht song.........sounds more rock n roll...i like it rock on krokus DOWN WITH HATERS

[chorizoalegre]

this is ashemed, the way these faggots butchered this song..... this pic should be deleted from here in this fucking second.... i hated the audience as well, bunch of faggots all...

[TheOriginalDCBernard]

Just WHO do those wankers think their fooling?

Better just give it up, retards.

[Flickerstruck]

One of the most preposterous bands ever. Just horrific.

[itlnstln35]

I don't post comments on here often, but I have to agree. This band has always been a joke!

[tyhplas]

Fucking rubbish, robotic cover version that could be bettered by any half decent local band.

[RockbertoRocks]

Best cover version!

FagKravitz didn't even had a clue how bad his shitty attempt sucked

[LowStackTom]

cover version ?!

[bradtolbert7]

it is a cover right?...sounds alot like american woman by the guess who except this is a cover version...-_-

[Moriok101]

At 1:28 ther's Asterix.

[0zzyfan44]

It rocks the original

[gilamonster001]

gefaellt mir nicht ! Der Saenger sieht aus wie Costa Cordalis, knatscht Kaugummi , einfach nur scheisse . Mein Favorit ,ist die Version von den Butthole Surfers !

[RapedByCannibals]

Das fand ich schon für über 10 Jahren erste Sahne!!

[egkd]

Is the audience on quaaaludes or something, what a fucking lame bunch !

It's the mighty KROKUS in their prime FFS !

[rhinobucketkixass]

Very Spinal Tappish @ 2:15

I love their Covers!

[razzisgeist]

thats so great

[umjustefra]

fecking brilliant

[karlmoles65]

Best cover of this song ever. Those Guitars kick ass. Fuck gaywad Lenny Kravitz!

[WizzDogg]

Ya what the fuck is up with the people there LMAO, But it looks like kinda like a joke with the people. But in the day these dudes fucking rocked hard

[gordonkimble]

1:28 true rock fan!

[newyorkspell]

@gordonkimble *lol* Also, the girl 2:08

[Dehumanizer689]

@gordonkimble i loled

[BoondockSaints01]

lol :20 - :23 DO NOT WANT!

[Bradysgrandpa]

I saw these boys in 82 with Rainbow & Pat Travers. They were too Swiss,

[UpInSmokeHq]

Bet that was a fucking awesome show. Krokus and Rainbow fucking right dude!!!

[sacrednvisions]

LoL , really ....... Now that's a video !!~

[caligulasparks]

the audience sucks big time

[aeonbelcebu]

este tipo canta con el tio Scot

[sudameriquen]

Krokus, they were in my country in Viña del Mar Festival in 1985. Screaming in the night was the best song they have ever made. Tokyo Nights is a good song also.

[throwachair]

Austin Powers!

[inuils01]

me gusta mas esta version es mas rockera

[insaneclownicp]

WELL OBVIOUSLY THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS BETTER

THE GUESS WHO

i think the only version that was up there was lenny kravits but krokus like no just no JUST NO

[sonoflifeson]

Suxephail = 12 yr old spic loser hit & run coward

BOO HOO*

[sonoflifeson]

guitar player: huge poser loser. pfffft. LAME.

[Mystifier122]

Krokus in 1982, they were great. OVAAT is my favorite album of theirs.

[joehohenester]

Fuck, Marc still got the power! - now look at AC/DC, what a shame...

[krinder]

una de las mejores bandas......power krokus!!!

[poundthe8]

grinding bass line

[sapper1984]

Good stuff

[retoronto]

The lead singer... Marc Storace... was one of the candidates to replace Bon Scott in AC/DC. He was beat out by Brian Johnson!

[siiwy]

i am not sure,, but i think,, marc didnt want to join ac-blitz dc,,, marc would have outrun brian johnson with his voice,,, i am pretty sure about that... well, things went diffrently

[madamx32]

glad brian got the job...marc is the better singer and krokus is the better band

[Innaband]

Yeah, that's why Krokus is still writing hits and touring, and AC/DC isn't... Oh, wait... it's the other way around. Hmmm... I don't get your concept. IMO They both rock and they both had a great thing going.

[ohio1968javelin]

god thats gay!!

[FIREOVER123]

rock`n`roll anyone!:)

[Nitro2691]

I have never seen anyone hit the guitar strings like he was doing during the lead riffs.

[retoronto]

Dude... this was sooooooo fucking lipsynched.... meaning he wasn't really "playing" the solo!

[stipecountry]

retoronto: So--all bands and artists do that for music videos...perhaps this was used as a music video back in the 80's.

[Nordwestmecklenburge]

There was everytime more than Toblerone and Ricola that comes from Switzerland!

[paul2112rush]

It looks like Top Of the Pops, but its OK. Great to See. Rock on Krokus .....It was a few years that I thought they wrote this song. It sounds as if they did..Guess Who...Awesome Version...Rock on...

[abodysite]

Hey, been waiting years for someone to post this vid. Thanks so much!

[phboba]

nice dude!

Krokus rocks
