Short broadcast from Krokus promoting the Metal Rendez-vous release. Metal Rendez-vous was the first Krokus album to feature vocalist Marc Storace, it was also the first to break through on American Radio. Metal Rendez-vous was also my first Krokus album, recommended by a fellow Metalhead in my school and guitarist for a rival band that I had much respect for. When I popped the record on it wasn't an immediate love affair. What made me like the band and album was a very short live recording. This was quite a few years ago so I can't remember where the recording was made but it proved that Krokus was a damn good live act.

When I first got a chance to see Krokus it was as the opening act for Def Leppard for the Leppard's first Detroit headline show. A show I was very eager to see having seen Def Leppard on their High And Dry tour in Ohio. I may offend some Def Leppard fans but Krokus kick Def Leppard's ass all over that Detroit stage. It had the same effect as seeing Van Halen blow Black Sabbath off the stage in Detroit, I became a fan for life!
