Rich Davenport's Rock Show - Chris Von Rohr (Krokus) and Stefan Kaufmann (ex-Accept) Interviews by Rich Davenport on Mixcloud
In the first hour of the show, Chris Von Rohr, bassist, producer, songwriter and founding member of Krokus talks about the new remastered reissues of three of the band’s classic albums, Metal Rendez-vous, Hardware and One Vice At A Time, which have just been released by Rock Candy Records. Chris charts the band’s rise to fame, which was driven by these three records, and chooses classic songs from each one.
In part two, former Accept drummer, songwriter and co-producer, Stefan Kaufmann takes an in-depth look at two newly reissued Accept albums (out now on Hear No Evil Recordings) the classic Russian Roulette, and its controversial follow-up Eat The Heat, and the events surrounding both releases. Stefan also explains the reasons for Udo Dirkschneider’s departure from Accept in 1987, looks at the short-lived stint of UK vocalist Rob Armitage (Baby Tuckoo) and the subsequent recruitment of David Reece, and gives the full story of the band’s ill-fated Eat The Heat album and tour, which ended with the band splitting up part way through a run of US dates.
