Krokus - Long Stick Goes Boom (Live 2005)

[CoreyT]

Occasionally I hear these guy's on Sirius Ozzie's Boneyard channel.
I have heard this song before, and I believe I read in my new AC/DC book "The Youngs" that Krokus is a group that sounds a lot like AC/DC.
The singer in this song sounds like a combo of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson.
The guitar riff sounds a lot like what AC/DC does too, especially the part with the Les Paul in the beginning.

Anyone know much about this group, where they are from, or if they have a lot of other good songs?
I heard this song again on my way into work, so I decided to pull up a video.

This just popped up after watching the above video.

They're from Switzerland, and have been at it since the mid 70s. They were pretty big in the early/mid 80s. IMO, Headhunter was their best album. I believe that was released in '83. I saw them in 84 or 85. Dokken opened for them.
