Mandy Meyer only toured with the band for the Hardware album due to Tommy Kiefer leaving the band. Mark Kohler would replace Mandy after the tour cycle. When Marc Storace joined Krokus as lead vocalist Tommy Kiefer, original lead vocalist, became just a bass player. He didn't stay long. This was also the time of the bands sonic shift from a Progressive Rock band to a Heavy Metal band. The era from Metal Rendez-vous to Headhunter is my favorite of the band. It was a more raw AC/DC inspired sound. When the band made a hit record with the power ballad "Screaming In The Night" they had to follow it up and the corporate unit shifters said "We need more hits, bigger hits!" the band caved like they all do and began a more commercial chart chasing Los Angeles Hair Band sound that turned me off. They got better after getting off the commercial money train. The band has retired, a planned North Ameican Farewll Tour was squashed by Coovid-19.
