Chris Von Rohr
Krokus
Founding member and bassist with legendary Swiss
rock band Krokus, Chris Von Rohr is now using a
Vintage ICON V4MRSSB with the band. Alongside a
handful of other breakthrough European bands of
the early/mid 70's including Focus, Golden Earring,
Can, Tangerine Dream and Amon Duul II, Krokus' distinctive
heavy metal-flavoured recipe helped put 70's Euro-Rock
firmly on the musical map of the time.
Formed in 1974 by Von Rohr – on bass and originally
lead vocals – with guitarist Tommy Kiefer,
Krokus enjoyed a prolonged period of success in
both Europe and America, particularly in the 1980's
when they often toured as support to premier league
rock bands such as AC/DC, Rainbow and Def Leppard.
In 2007, an early Krokus line-up which featured
Von Rohr, guitarist Fernando Von Arb, drummer Freddy
Steady and vocalist Marc Storace, reunited to play
a selection of Krokus hits on a Swiss television
show, whilst a version of the Sweet glam anthem,
Ballroom Blitz, performed by Krokus featured in
the computer game 'Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80's'.
Recently, the band announced that the reformed line-up
will stay together, and will be recording a new
album and touring in 2009.
