I clicked so fast on this one y’all!!! Krokus is definitely the most underrated metal band of the 80zzzzz….this song is so anthemic & dramatic. The video is awesomely ridiculous too!!! Marc Storace probably has the coolest voice in metal. Try their version of “Ballroom Blitz” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Saw this video on headbangers ball went out and bought the cassette the next day great album remember driving around in my 1st car 1973 amc germlin jamming this
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. I watched MTV be born and this is one of the earliest MTV vids to exist during its infancy and will always bring back those days to me when I hear it!
@@RobertJuzstoneyes, long stick goes Boom 💥! This was my introduction to Krokus! I thought they sounded like AC/DC at the time. Also, anything from the Headhunter album!
This shows why ACDC contacted Marc as a possible replacement for Bon Scott after Bon passed away. Marc turned it down because Krokus had their second big hit in the U.S. and he was happy with the way things were going.
Love Krokus! They were so good in the 80s. “Eat the Rich”, Midnight Maniac” “Headhunter”, “Let This Live Begin” are bangers! Singer Marc Storace was amazing!
Another killer 80's band that not alot of people have heard of. Try the Bullet Boys "Smooth up in ya" next. You won't be disappointed. The singer carries a note out at the end that is reminiscent of the dude in that Sheriff song. You'll trip on it.
@@Willie_McBride Uhh… give me a break dude - they’ve reacted to worse than that. It was all over the radio when it came out in the 80’s and not a word of it was bleeped - so there you go…
"I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart I picked her up and held her high and I swore to be avenged" One of the Classic lines from the Classic Rock era.
NO WAY!!!!!!!! This was one of my favorite songs - every time the vid came on MTV I went nuts! I was the only one, my friends didnt like it like I did. God the memories !! So glad you liked them! ❤
Classic stuff. Marc Storace can bring it! "Long Stick Goes Boom" is great, but my favorite is "Eat the Rich". There are three songs with this title, all different (Krokus and one by Motorhead and one by Aerosmith), but Krokus was first and IMO the best.
Post apocalyptic or fantasy settings were common due to the popularity of Conan the Barbarian and Mad Max. Tom Petty's "You got lucky" is a good example of the latter, cool video and great song.
Ballroom Blitz and Midnight Maniac was the label pushing then to become more pop metal which killed their career in the US Eat The Rich 💯 From same album as Screaming in the Night
He turned down the opportunity to audition for the band. At the time he wasn't fond of being compared to Bon Scott. These days he looks at the comparison differently.
Forever - Y and T. j/a this was another great song from another great hairband from the early 80s. Very confident both of you will like this song. It’s like a gallop sound. Love to see you react to it and thanks for this great reaction!
Y & T was definitely not hair Metal. they released their first album in 76. Under the name Yesterday And Today. Their 2nd album Struck Down came out in 78. Both real good Hard Rock albums. In fact, their first album is one of the best debut albums from the 70s. After these two albums, they changed their name to Y & T. Forever is a Great song. Hurricane is Y & T at their most Rocking.
Krokus!! Awesome song. Great pick! If you want some great 80s rock.... "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" by Night Ranger. It has an amazing guitar solos and the vocals are absolutely awesome!! You can't go wrong with this song! There are so many more 80s hairspray rock songs that you guys haven't done! I'm so glad I got to grow up in that era and also pumped I got to hear me some Krokus!
Night Ranger. One of my favorite Rock Bands from the 80s. The first 3 albums are Rock Classics. The song above is one of their best. They should do this one.
I met them at a signing in a department store in Ohio in 1984! Still have their autographs in my Krokus album! Try "Long Stick Goes Boom" and "Headhunter"!
They didn't break in the USA till this, their 7th album. The title song " headhunter" was the heaviest thing AOR radio had played as of 83. Metal Rendezvous in 1980, got some love too. It was the first with Marc Storace. " lady double dealer" is played in the 2014 movie " gone girl"
Oh, yeah, come on, right, come and rescue me. Alright, I wrote oh yeah, give me a journey. The Jade of pancake Smith s***'s carrently cut the ropes that I'm taught to the soak tree worth. To have a pancake party, a pancake part, your Jade and Smith banquet.
The lead singer Marc Storace was actually asked to join AC/DC after the untimely death of Bon Scott, but he didn't want to stop with Krokus as they were just hitting it big. And the rest is history.
I’ve been waiting for this one Such a great 80s metal band still going If I’m not mistaken So many great songs the entire The Blitz album is full of rockers Midnight Maniac, Our Love, and Hot Stuff to name a few The album “Change Of Address” is a masterpiece of 80s Rock
Marc Storace and Krokus! Saw them when this album came out! ( 82) This and Def Leppard Photograph were all over MTV about the same time. Next " Eat The Rich".
Krokus is a killer band. Very underrated. Should check out album version of this song. Video version shortened the song. Video is part two, part one was a song called eat the Rich. Also a great song. Our love, ballroom blitz, long stick goes boom. All great songs
That song that song that is almost almost as much fun. As j have straight a pink Smith, almost as funniest. Jade about what happened to paint it party how much
Jayda jayda Payne. Pickett party, a banquet party, will have a bottle of mushrooms soccer dough, how you get here? Yeah, right, I know, and you're taking clothes off with Jada. Run around the mansion and talk about Whaley. Or should my aunt talk to you really, to your own? Really? She'll try to talk to her. Or you never know, she might want to have a family friend over what's that? Find some seven ten year old salmar
The singer is Marc Storace (pronounced sto-RAH-see) and he's joined here on the chorus by Jimi Jamison of Survivor fame. Very underrated band. Marc is THE quintessential voice for metal. Bar none. And Krokus always had top notch guitarists that'll give you goose bumps -- the late Tommy Kiefer, Chris Von Rohr, and Fernando Von Arb -- totally electrifying. Be sure to check out "Eat The Rich" (you two will LOVE that one), "Headhunter", "Bedside Radio", "Ready To Burn" (with Rob Halford), "Backseat Rock And Roll", "Tokyo Night", and the unforgettable "Fire" ... 😊
the singer is Marc Storace. They only had a couple moderate hits but a rabid following. I loved them. They did a great cover of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Stayed Awake All Night. Another band like Thin Lizzy that never really got their due
@SteveBSByou are right though, you can still hear TL on radio, but I’d be super surprised to hear krokus. I was actually surprised to see a krokus reaction video.
Krokus has a bunch of great songs such as “ Eat the Rich” or “Long Stick Goes Boom” or “Ballroom Blitz” or “Stayed Awake All Night” “Headhunters” …. On and on
Marc Storace was the lead singer here. He was also one of the singers that nearly took the spot in AC/DC after Bon Scott passed. If you dig in to more Krokus you will hear his voice on display and understand why he could have slid right in for that AC/DC spot with ease
Lead singer Marc Storace (pronounced sto-RA-chi) is a certified lion lungs who was considered for the frontman spot in both AC/DC and Rainbow. Krokus as a band is a certified European metal legend, with a plethora of anthemic classics like "Long stick goes boom", "Headhunter", "Bedside radio", "Easy rocker", "Burning up the night", "Midnite maniac", "Eat the rich", "Tokyo nights" - to name but a very few from their 80s heyday. But the band have actually perforned stellarly even in their old age. One of my personal favorites is their 2006 "Hellraiser" album, featuring at least two masterpiece songs: "Angel of my dreams" (basically "Screaming in the night part 2" and "Spirit of the night" (basically "Headhunter" part 2, as in a speed demon metal MONSTER).
I love this song, great group! Always thought this video was so cool, never forget it from back in the 80s on MTV! Oh MTV, when you could just watch one music video after another, those were the days! 😂 Love you guys!!❤
My dad loved this song, he would describe what he saw through the singers eyes and it was so epic to him…thank you for bringing back a great memory of him 🖤
The production on this track is amazing. Especially for a metal song in the 80's when producers were notorious for piling on tons of reverb and no bottom end this was a masterful job of recording done rtght
YES I have waited forever for y'all to do this song! I saw them in Charlotte North Carolina that open for Sammy Hagar they did this song and I fell in love with it one of my top 5 favorite song
i am glad you finally got to this band. the scene where he walks on the counter was used by MTV all the time back in the day as their identification montage. along with the bass riff intro to Megadeth peace sells.
Glad to see you diving into Krokus! One of my favorites growing up. I really thought that when Tommy Keifer passed (great feel guitar player; that solo on Tokyo Nights is ridiculous) that they were going to have problems, but then Fernando von Arb came along, and they never missed a step. Marc Storace is an amazing vocalist. He was approached at one point to replace Bon Scott in AC/DC, but turned them down. Many have said that was a mistake, but there is something to be said for making music with the people you vibe with most strongly - he doesn't regret it. Other great suggestions here, but their cover of BTO's "Stayed Awake All Night" I would highly recommend. Turn that up loud! :)
When punk began to rage in the UK in the mid-70s and dominated the rock music scene, including in the media, many big European bands had to react. The hard rockers in particular tried to survive with tours in the USA and apparently made good money, including Def Leppard, Judas Priest..., but also the Dutch band Golden Earring (I love them a lot); Scorpions from Germany and Krokus from Switzerland ... . In their own country Krokus had their first radio hit in 1980 with the rocking Bedside Radio from the album Metal Rendez-Vous. Tip: Eat The Rich from the same album Headhunter 1983, from the predecessor Long Stick Goes Boom.💥
Krokus has a huge catalog of great songs including everything on the Headhunter and Change of Address albums as well as most songs on One Vice at a Time. Also Midnite Maniac, Ballroom Blitz, Our Love, Too Wired to Sleep…
Such a great song! The video is, of course, classic 80's cheese. I'm glad I was there for all that cheesy imagery during the first years of MTV. It was such a great time to be a kid.
I HAVE SEEN KROKUS OPEN UP FOR KISS AT THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY ARENA IN FAYETTEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA. THEY ARE AN AMAZING BAND. ROCK BAND DANGER DANGER ALSO ON THE BILL IS WORTH CHECKING OUT!!! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS KISS WHO GOT ME TO LISTEN TO HARD ROCK. I GOT TO SEE THEM THE THIRD TIME AT THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY ARENA. I HAVE SEEN KISS FOR THE LAST TIME AT THE NORTH CHARLESTON ARENA. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE DRUMMER PETER CRISS AND LEAD GUITARIST ACE FREHLEY’S LAST SHOW WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF KISS. I SEEN HISTORY BEING MADE THAT NIGHT!!! ALSO ROCK BAND SKID ROW OPENED UP FOR KISS THAT NIGHT.
Someone else brought up Mandy Myer and Jimi Jamison in one of their comments. Mandy Myer was a guitarist for Krokus, but apparently was not with the band at this time. The lead guitarist was Fernando von Arb for this song. Myer eventually went on to be the lead guitarist for Asia on their 3rd album ("Astra") in 1985. Jimi Jamison, who went on to replace Dave Bickler with Survivor on their 5th studio album "Vital Signs" in 1984. Jimi DID do the backing vocals on this song (according to Wikipedia).
I got to meet the band when they played at a small rock club in Houston in 2015. Been a fan of theirs since high school! Also check out, "Our Love", "Stayed Awake All Night" and "Ballroom Blitz".
I'm absolutely stunned that this is y'alls first time reacting to Krokus. There for awhile in the 80s they were very popular. I got to see them in '83 or '84 in concert when my best friend surprised me with concert tickets. Great concert! I think Accept was the opening act, but I can't remember for sure. What can I say? I'm old.😂
One of my all time favorite groups. Krokus is still killing it but I would have to use my passport to see them. I wore out a couple cassettes of multiple albums.
Lead singer Marc storage has appeared in two "B" movies - Anuk and Anuk 2 . Anuk 2 also saw German metal queen Doro Pesch make her acting debut as well.
Wow great choice! another one of my favs I was hoping you would discover.. Underrated is an understatement. This band just pours their heart and souls into their songs. There sound is a driving force with lead singer Marc Storace power vocals leading the way. “ Try “ Stay Awake All Night”, “ American Woman” and “ Eat The Rich “… if you like classic heavy metal this group is one to add to your fav playlists. You have to listen to the long version.. please do❤
I clicked so fast on this one y’all!!! Krokus is definitely the most underrated metal band of the 80zzzzz….this song is so anthemic & dramatic. The video is awesomely ridiculous too!!! Marc Storace probably has the coolest voice in metal. Try their version of “Ballroom Blitz” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Saw this video on headbangers ball went out and bought the cassette the next day great album remember driving around in my 1st car 1973 amc germlin jamming this
Yes.... Ballroom Blotz next
No, No, and No, Long Stick Goes Boom, To The Top, etc.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. I watched MTV be born and this is one of the earliest MTV vids to exist during its infancy and will always bring back those days to me when I hear it!
@@RobertJuzstoneyes, long stick goes Boom 💥! This was my introduction to Krokus! I thought they sounded like AC/DC at the time. Also, anything from the Headhunter album!
Headhunter and Long Stick Goes Boom are two heavy Krokus bangers to hit!
Great songs
I 2nd that!
Also Eat The Rich and Ready To Burn. 🔥
@@llusk6375 "Are your ready, ready to burn" is a classic in their live albums!
AC/DC
K R O K U S ! The band and lead singer Marc Storace both still sound good today
This shows why ACDC contacted Marc as a possible replacement for Bon Scott after Bon passed away. Marc turned it down because Krokus had their second big hit in the U.S. and he was happy with the way things were going.
Hell YEAH!!! Finally got to Krokus... *The Party can now BEGIN!!!*
This was an awesome band. Very underrated.
-" underrated " ?-
Still is🤘
Midnite maniac , Bedside radio , Stayed awake all night , and a good ballad Let this love begin . Krokus is so underrated.
"Stayed awake all night" chorus sticks with you!
Saw Krokus and Def Leppard in a small venue in Syracuse NY in 1983. Awesome show. Great tune!
I seen the same tour,..but in London Ontario Canada lol
Awesome simply Awesome
Saw that tour in Springfield MA with Gary Moore opening in a triple-header. Great show!
Same tour, Providence RI.
I saw them with Def Leppard. Also in Phoenix, Arizona, the same year. What a great show that was the first time I ever saw them.....
Yes I saw that tour in Birmingham AL.
Love Krokus! They were so good in the 80s. “Eat the Rich”, Midnight Maniac” “Headhunter”, “Let This Live Begin” are bangers! Singer Marc Storace was amazing!
Another killer 80's band that not alot of people have heard of. Try the Bullet Boys "Smooth up in ya" next. You won't be disappointed. The singer carries a note out at the end that is reminiscent of the dude in that Sheriff song. You'll trip on it.
Smooth up in ya??!? C’mon bro, this is a family channel! You don’t want to make Amber uncomfortable.
@@Willie_McBride Uhh… give me a break dude - they’ve reacted to worse than that. It was all over the radio when it came out in the 80’s and not a word of it was bleeped - so there you go…
They did a great cover of For the Love of Money.
For the Love of Money 100%
This is just the tip of the iceberg for Krokus.. so many good songs…
"I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up and held her high and I swore to be avenged"
One of the Classic lines from the Classic Rock era.
NO WAY!!!!!!!! This was one of my favorite songs - every time the vid came on MTV I went nuts! I was the only one, my friends didnt like it like I did. God the memories !! So glad you liked them! ❤
1983 Classic and 41 years later, the song still Rock in 2024!
Classic stuff. Marc Storace can bring it!
"Long Stick Goes Boom" is great, but my favorite is "Eat the Rich". There are three songs with this title, all different (Krokus and one by Motorhead and one by Aerosmith), but Krokus was first and IMO the best.
OMG! Where did y’all dig this one up?? I was a young man when this was a hit …on MTV. Where have years gone?
I was wondering when you'd get to this! Great reaction! They have many, many more songs. Next listen to Long Stick Goes Boom!🤘🤘👍👍❤❤❤
❤❤❤YES!!! I remember requesting this!!! I LOVE this song! My favorite power ballad ever!!!❤❤❤
Me also
This is what rock was all about. The bass the drums the guitar and that voice is the total package
So cool to hear Krokus again. My favorite song back in the day is Our Love! Thank you for making me smile. You rock!
Agreed! Love that song!!
Great song, glad y'all checked it out. And you can always count on the 80s for an entertaining video
Post apocalyptic or fantasy settings were common due to the popularity of Conan the Barbarian and Mad Max. Tom Petty's "You got lucky" is a good example of the latter, cool video and great song.
Entertaining? 😂 or completely unrelated? That’s the 80’s
Amazing band!! They did a great cover of Ballroom Blitz and Schools Out!! Midnight Maniac, Hoodoo, and a lot more!! Keep going!
Midnight maniac. Yes
They also covered "American Woman" by The Guess Who and "Stay Awake All Night" by BTO ...
A couple of my bands in the 80s covered Ballromm Blitz and Midnight Maniac. Great stuff
Ballroom Blitz and Midnight Maniac was the label pushing then to become more pop metal which killed their career in the US
Eat The Rich 💯
From same album as Screaming in the Night
Fun Fact; lead singer Marc Storace was seriously considered for lead singer for ACDC after Bon's death.
I heard they ultimately decided against him because he sounded TOO MUCH like Bon.
He turned down the opportunity to audition for the band. At the time he wasn't fond of being compared to Bon Scott. These days he looks at the comparison differently.
I'd always wondered if that was urban legend or not -- we didn't have Google back in the day!! @@big106razor
Yea Marc was dedicated to KROKUS …. he even thought they were destined for stardom
Awesome, thanks guys! First concert I ever went to, 1978 Def Leppard with Krokus, Syracuse War Memorial. I forgot about this song!
This is one of my FAVORITE songs! So glad you liked it!
Forever - Y and T. j/a this was another great song from another great hairband from the early 80s.
Very confident both of you will like this song. It’s like a gallop sound. Love to see you react to it and thanks for this great reaction!
Y & T was definitely not hair Metal. they released their first album in 76. Under the name Yesterday And Today. Their 2nd album Struck Down came out in 78. Both real good Hard Rock albums. In fact, their first album is one of the best debut albums from the 70s. After these two albums, they changed their name to Y & T. Forever is a Great song. Hurricane is Y & T at their most Rocking.
Headhunter is a must for starters, Krokus are friggin awesome ! 🤘❤️🇨🇦
I love this song. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Krokus!! Awesome song. Great pick! If you want some great 80s rock.... "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" by Night Ranger. It has an amazing guitar solos and the vocals are absolutely awesome!! You can't go wrong with this song! There are so many more 80s hairspray rock songs that you guys haven't done! I'm so glad I got to grow up in that era and also pumped I got to hear me some Krokus!
Yesss!!! One of my all time favorites to this day!
Night Ranger. One of my favorite Rock Bands from the 80s. The first 3 albums are Rock Classics. The song above is one of their best. They should do this one.
There is still sooo many good hairspray 80s songs they haven't done yet. I think they would be extremely happy to do more NIGHTRANGER!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I met them at a signing in a department store in Ohio in 1984! Still have their autographs in my Krokus album! Try "Long Stick Goes Boom" and "Headhunter"!
They didn't break in the USA till this, their 7th album. The title song " headhunter" was the heaviest thing AOR radio had played as of 83. Metal Rendezvous in 1980, got some love too. It was the first with Marc Storace. " lady double dealer" is played in the 2014 movie " gone girl"
Oh, yeah, come on, right, come and rescue me. Alright, I wrote oh yeah, give me a journey. The Jade of pancake Smith s***'s carrently cut the ropes that I'm taught to the soak tree worth. To have a pancake party, a pancake part, your Jade and Smith banquet.
You, you know how much fun the bracket? Pick it party yes, don't you question Mack? I answer real thing i've got to heat up in the hammer
She can talk about whale or. We're sick, you just talk to your really? Or you're sick and homelesshe could always bring out her family
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Well, let's go over the Smith's house and have a pancake party. Have a pancake party at the Smiths, all right?😅😅😅😅😅😅
The lead singer Marc Storace was actually asked to join AC/DC after the untimely death of Bon Scott, but he didn't want to stop with Krokus as they were just hitting it big. And the rest is history.
It's one of my favorite songs that people don't ever play. I'm glad you all did
I’ve been waiting for this one
Such a great 80s metal band still going If I’m not mistaken
So many great songs the entire The Blitz album is full of rockers Midnight Maniac, Our Love, and Hot Stuff to name a few
The album “Change Of Address” is a masterpiece of 80s Rock
You said it. Change Of Address got me hooked to this band. Added that to one of my favorite albums of the 80s.
Any idea why Change Of Address isn’t on Spotify?
Luckily I still have the vinyl and cd versions
@SteveBSB I never said it was on the blitz i know what song is from what album
Marc Storace and Krokus! Saw them when this album came out! ( 82) This and Def Leppard Photograph were all over MTV about the same time. Next " Eat The Rich".
Bro, I had this on cassette!
Rocked krokus in the early morning hours cruising with my buddies!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Midnight Maniac is a great song by Krokus. You should check it out.
LOVE that song. I think Jay will love it too. I was hoping that would've been the 1st introduction to them.
There are so many great hair/metal bands from back in the day. You could spend a massive amount of time exploring that rabbit hole!
Krokus is a killer band. Very underrated. Should check out album version of this song. Video version shortened the song. Video is part two, part one was a song called eat the Rich. Also a great song. Our love, ballroom blitz, long stick goes boom. All great songs
Awesome song, so underrated. Some great memories with this one. Thanx so much, Keep rockin' peace
I have known the drummer, Steve Pace, for well over 50 years now. Great drummer & a quality person
Their 3 albums "Metal Rendez-Vous", "One Vice At A Time" & "Hardware" are flawless, some of the best metal albums ever made!
That song that song that is almost almost as much fun. As j have straight a pink Smith, almost as funniest. Jade about what happened to paint it party how much
You can get him to a packet, Jade a packet Smith. To run a hard party, i'd recommend it.
Jayda jayda Payne. Pickett party, a banquet party, will have a bottle of mushrooms soccer dough, how you get here? Yeah, right, I know, and you're taking clothes off with Jada. Run around the mansion and talk about Whaley. Or should my aunt talk to you really, to your own? Really? She'll try to talk to her. Or you never know, she might want to have a family friend over what's that? Find some seven ten year old salmar
A pancake party? At the the beginning. Hey how are you got😅😅😅😅😅
Seriously, though it would be like it would be a fun time partying in the. Pink and party with jada I would attempt you if god base are I'll be there
They’re one of the best. Great guitars, great melodies and great singer. All of their albums are excellent with many being legendary.
The singer is Marc Storace (pronounced sto-RAH-see) and he's joined here on the chorus by Jimi Jamison of Survivor fame. Very underrated band. Marc is THE quintessential voice for metal. Bar none.

Krokus is Incredible 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Krokus is from Switzerland.
I also saw Krokus and Def Leppard in 83 in Syracuse. Awesome show. Great reaction.
Eat the Rich is an absolute jam...
Headhunter is a must if you want to hear Krokus go hard. Their cover of American Woman is probably the best cover of that song ever.
Lead singer Marc Storace (pronounced sto-RA-chi) is a certified lion lungs who was considered for the frontman spot in both AC/DC and Rainbow.
Krokus as a band is a certified European metal legend, with a plethora of anthemic classics like "Long stick goes boom", "Headhunter", "Bedside radio", "Easy rocker", "Burning up the night", "Midnite maniac", "Eat the rich", "Tokyo nights" - to name but a very few from their 80s heyday. But the band have actually perforned stellarly even in their old age.

Love you guys!!❤
My dad loved this song, he would describe what he saw through the singers eyes and it was so epic to him…thank you for bringing back a great memory of him 🖤
Great representation of 80s big hair rock! Love this song!
1st time hearing this too.
Never heard of Krokus before.
Pretty Good!
The production on this track is amazing. Especially for a metal song in the 80's when producers were notorious for piling on tons of reverb and no bottom end this was a masterful job of recording done rtght
YES I have waited forever for y'all to do this song! I saw them in Charlotte North Carolina that open for Sammy Hagar they did this song and I fell in love with it one of my top 5 favorite song
Saw this, tapped it, wasn't disappointed. Great band and a great reaction. KROKUS has a permanent place in iconic 80s rock/metal
Wow….. “Krokus” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 seen them with Judas Priest in 1986 🔥❤️🎸 this whole album is 🔥🔥🔥
i am glad you finally got to this band. the scene where he walks on the counter was used by MTV all the time back in the day as their identification montage. along with the bass riff intro to Megadeth peace sells.

Yes more Krokus please!!!! Down The Drain, Long Stick Goes Boom, Playin The Outlaw, To The Top...... all great songs.... you guys are great!!!!!
1980’s seen Krokus and Sammy Hagar “I can’t drive 55” what a night 🔥 🎸 🍻
When punk began to rage in the UK in the mid-70s and dominated the rock music scene, including in the media, many big European bands had to react.

Tip: Eat The Rich from the same album Headhunter 1983, from the predecessor Long Stick Goes Boom.💥
Thanks you two for doing Krokus. Long stick goes boom is another legendary song
This song rocks…and their live version of this is remarkable…just as good.
Krokus has a huge catalog of great songs including everything on the Headhunter and Change of Address albums as well as most songs on One Vice at a Time. Also Midnite Maniac, Ballroom Blitz, Our Love, Too Wired to Sleep…
OMG!!!!!AWESOME!!!!!...Classic 80s Metal...great song.
Yeah, great song! Been waiting for this one.
Such a great song! The video is, of course, classic 80's cheese. I'm glad I was there for all that cheesy imagery during the first years of MTV. It was such a great time to be a kid.
My favorite Krokus songs: 4. "Midnight Maniac". 3 "Screaming in the Night". 2. Their cover of "Ballroom Blitz" (ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE). 1. "Our Love".
I don’t think I could of clicked any faster, krokus is freaking awesome!!!
I HAVE SEEN KROKUS OPEN UP FOR KISS AT THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY ARENA IN FAYETTEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA. THEY ARE AN AMAZING BAND. ROCK BAND DANGER DANGER ALSO ON THE BILL IS WORTH CHECKING OUT!!! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS KISS WHO GOT ME TO LISTEN TO HARD ROCK. I GOT TO SEE THEM THE THIRD TIME AT THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY ARENA. I HAVE SEEN KISS FOR THE LAST TIME AT THE NORTH CHARLESTON ARENA. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE DRUMMER PETER CRISS AND LEAD GUITARIST ACE FREHLEY’S LAST SHOW WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF KISS. I SEEN HISTORY BEING MADE THAT NIGHT!!! ALSO ROCK BAND SKID ROW OPENED UP FOR KISS THAT NIGHT.
Forget the video, just close your eyes, lay back, and CRANK IT UP. So freaking good!
They do my favorite version of "Ballroom Blitz".... Loved this band when I was a kid..
Singer’s name is Marc Storace. Great early 80’s band.
Someone else brought up Mandy Myer and Jimi Jamison in one of their comments. Mandy Myer was a guitarist for Krokus, but apparently was not with the band at this time. The lead guitarist was Fernando von Arb for this song. Myer eventually went on to be the lead guitarist for Asia on their 3rd album ("Astra") in 1985. Jimi Jamison, who went on to replace Dave Bickler with Survivor on their 5th studio album "Vital Signs" in 1984. Jimi DID do the backing vocals on this song (according to Wikipedia).
Mandy and Jimi, were also in the band Cobra. First Strike from 83, is a Rock Classic.
YEAH!!!!! I LOVE this song!!! Next up ......... 'Our Love'!!!!!
Our Love, Eat the Rich, Midnight Maniac, and Headhunter are some songs by Krokus you may want to check out. I saw them once in the 80's. Great band!
I got to meet the band when they played at a small rock club in Houston in 2015. Been a fan of theirs since high school! Also check out, "Our Love", "Stayed Awake All Night" and "Ballroom Blitz".
I'm absolutely stunned that this is y'alls first time reacting to Krokus. There for awhile in the 80s they were very popular. I got to see them in '83 or '84 in concert when my best friend surprised me with concert tickets. Great concert! I think Accept was the opening act, but I can't remember for sure. What can I say? I'm old.😂
This song was blasting in every house party in the early 80's.
I hadn't heard this in YEARS! Forgot all about it!! Thank you!
This group been around for along time…check out the Head Hunters album…it’s rocks
This is as good as you could find for a rock song
CLASSIC.. this album SLAPS
One of my all time favorite groups. Krokus is still killing it but I would have to use my passport to see them. I wore out a couple cassettes of multiple albums.
OMG I grew up with this song in the 80s They even played it at my 6th grade dance, and I am almost 50 now lol Nice guys
Such a great song, love it and never get tired of hearing it. Too bad they didn't make a better video!!! lol
A 1980’s classic, saw them in concert on this tour at the Lloyd Nobel Center in Norman, Oklahoma 🎸🤘🏻
Lead singer Marc storage has appeared in two "B" movies - Anuk and Anuk 2 . Anuk 2 also saw German metal queen Doro Pesch make her acting debut as well.
When I was Kevin's body guard in the 80s this was his favorite band.
Loved in 80's .. still ❤ now in 2024
I've just seen playing Fernando von Arb two weeks ago performing with his own Band Bad Ass Romance! Greetings from Switzerland!
Krokus - "Stayed Awake All Night" is awesome.
Another great video & song by Krokus is Our Love Will Never Die.
So glad you picked a Krokus song, this is by far my favorite song of theirs.
Wow great choice! another one of my favs I was hoping you would discover.. Underrated is an understatement. This band just pours their heart and souls into their songs. There sound is a driving force with lead singer Marc Storace power vocals leading the way. “ Try “ Stay Awake All Night”, “ American Woman” and “ Eat The Rich “… if you like classic heavy metal this group is one to add to your fav playlists. You have to listen to the long version.. please do❤
Great song, great band...Krokus - Stayed awake all night is another good one.
