Krokus

Why they never achieved the multiplatinum heights of Scorpions or Quiet Riot is a mystery.

Krokus singer Marc Storace says he turned down the chance to audition for AC/DC after Bon Scott passed away. Now he wouldn't mind having another shot at the gig.

Drummer Dani Crivelli, who played with the Swiss metal band Krokus from 1987-1989, has passed away. The band revealed his death in a statement on their web site on Sunday (April 21).

If people think about Twisted Sister or Krokus at all these days, they probably remember them as completely unrelated bands who happened to enjoy their respective commercial peaks during roughly the same portion of the '80s. But the truth is that they've actually been bitter enemies for more than 30 years.
