I saw them on this tour in '83 opening for Def Leppard (with Gary Moore as support).  I bought this album (yes - ALBUM) the next day. Still have that copy of it. Not a bad song on it.

One of the best voices in Rock! If not THE best!

Everybody pokes fun at Krokus and it's B.S. I seen them live back in the day several times. They might not have been as consistent in song writing as say the Scorpions, but live they were just as tight a band. I won't hear bad of Huey Lewis and The News ( sports tour ) either, that was probably the most flawless live show I have ever seen. Chris ( Haynes?) is a guitar GOD. I was blown away by him. I read later that Smith and Murray from Iron Maiden thought he was badass as well.

@ipsofacto297 Same here man. Mainstream music since the mid-90s (or at least rock music) has been so depressing it's unbearable.

Headhunter is one of the first LPs I purchased. This song is epic. I love the way it ends then comes back with the drums to set up the final "Headhunter." I thought the earlier Krokus albums were kind of interesting. Their later pop metal stuff is pretty forgettable. But then again, what pop metal isn't forgettable.

headhunter kicks ass espesially the opening of the song

[rattlecan666]

Should have been the singer for AC/DC after Bon Scott died.

This is my song of the week !!!

[dokkcrue71]

Damn,This song still rocks today.

[ipsofacto297]

Some people from my generation refer to this stuff as "dinosaur rock" or that of dusting off their music collection. Personally, I never stopped listening to it. There is so much great music like this from the 80's that I just keep rotating the same few dozens of artists/bands from this era...and have never gotten board of it. IMO, other than a small handful of great tunes, rock music from the 90's til now has sucked!

[rattlecan666]

Turn it up to 11!

Back in 83, I remember this was the heaviest song on the radio. In fact, I couldn't believe it was on the radio. The next album, The Blitz was good, but couldn't compare to this. They should have stayed with this kind of stuff.

[Rowzdower69ify]

I saw Krokus with Saxon,and those days I long for most!

Slayer= Heavy Metal

Poison= Toxic avengers

And above all!.......Up the Irons!!!!

[beroth77]

gREAT MUSICIANS WITH NO TALENT FOR MAKE SONGS lol...BUT EVEN COPYING ACDC AND OTHERS THEYARE BETTER THAN SOME ORIGINALS lol...LIKE THE SINGER BLOW bON SCOTT TECHNICALLY.bUT HE IMITATE bON NO DOUBT

[irishshredrecords]

I seen Krokus open for Rainbow in Chicago on the Hardware tour and they kicked major ass. I just wish that they had kept doing albums like Headhunter.

[beroth77]

Not shure but the intro sounds little like the intro from Dynamite by Scorpions 82'

[shockofhyperbole]

@Sjamsucks Don't forget about Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Some of the best black and death metal bands have come out the Scandinavian region.

35 years later Im still listening to KROKUS, how happy am I ? very.

[Edono55]

I like various types of music but METAL ROCK IS FOREVER IN MY BLOOD !!!

[PapaWolfman]

@DoctorFeelgood666 Uhhh.. I wouldn't exactly put Poison in the same category as Krokus, Iron Maiden, and such... I don't consider their type of "glam rock" as metal at all.
