Krokus - Ballroom Blitz

[@rinaticson390]

SWEET

[@michaelhutton7462]

I was in high school when this came out and i still listen to Krokus today....such a GREAT BAND .....they ROCKED!!!!!

[@cwecub]

It came out in1974 by Sweet

[@silviaplank2066]

One of the favorit songes of my brother

[@samhain4399]

This is the first time I've seen the vid since "The Blitz" came out/ 84'... Still have the LP and gets a listen to now and again.

[@georgethomasmendivil7776]

@@cwecub indeed it is very SWEET 74'

[@farrellvanessa]

Produced in June '73 and released in the UK in Sept 73', Blitz was written by Chinn and Chapman. One of Sweet's most popular hits. Great cover:)

[@funkyzero]

When I first heard Krokus, I was convinced they were gonna be the next biggest thing. I don't know what happened... they were a freekin awesome band. Same with Fastway.

[@rayres1074]

30m albums sold worldwide for a non-American metal band is a big thing for me.

[@funkyzero]

Agreed. When was their last album release? So yea...

[@rayres1074]

funkyzero 2013. Not a good release, but a release nonetheless

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

@Tony From Syracuse I agree, Screaming in the Night was real and tough and mean, and this was just kid stuff fun, waited for the next release (on the radio) to be more hard core, but it never arrived and away they went.

[@poppaluv]

@@TheRadioAteMyTV same here!!

[@grobin3745]

This is a great song (among many). Marc Storace's voice matured in Krokus and his talent is legendary...you can hear the foundation and potential in his early work with Tea (including ballads)...can't help but love this band!

[@ArturoPro-k4t]

Damn they don't music like this anymore ❤❤🎉🎉🎉😢😊😊

[@teresadivilbiss8936]

You got that right!

[@BradLad56]

I think there's a word missing here

[@ronaldgreen5119]

I saw them on that same tour, amigo, at the old Charlotte Coliseum. Man, what a night. Krokus rocked. And I remember Rob Halford riding a Harley on the stage. It doesn't get much better than that!

[@tcoffey6]

I was at that show!! It was awesome. I told my 30 year old son about Rob Halford on the harley and he flipped out. Great memories ❤

[@Saltysailor83]

Saw these guys open up for Judas Priest on the Screaming for Vengeance tour. They rocked!

[@angelarivard8326]

I remember that tour! 80 something. I was a bit under the influence of the 80’s.

[@r.s.334]

Saw them with Def Leppard and Gary Moore. They were good Too showy if anything

[@Triton1051]

JAVIER QUINTERO I saw 'em on that tour. Great show, high' energy. Raw power, we expected big things and we were not disappointed!

[@haydenrockz2471]

They were awsome

[@noneanywhere7600]

Really? I was not aware they were that big!

[@johnhall271]

I heard this song years ago & thought that Krokus originally did it, then I found out about a band called Sweet & damn, just damn. Sweet is one of the absolute best bands of all time!!!!

[@anjaschmied6257]

Long live the fantastic music of the legendary Sweet!!

[@michaeldemita8148]

They are all rock gods Sweet Krokus etc etc etc Talent is talent Rock on dudes

[@lprince9914]

Nice kinky boots

[@farrellvanessa]

Happy you found them:) Sweet influenced many bands from Def Leppard to Motley and so many bands in between. Love these covers and all the new fans it brings to the Sweet table:)

[@lukecage3485]

I think Krokus' version is far better and harder.

[@nirandornminrintara1454]

They played in Dortmund 1983 just like it passed yesterday so many bands in this rock concert...Ozzy...Michael Schenker group...Iron Maiden ...Def Leppard..Judas Priest...Scorpions..Quiet Riot...Krokus....it was a nice time to remember in rock history

[@twstrchasr]

Great song by Sweet !!

[@smosmilesmom]

My 14 & 8 yr old sons are big Krokus fans, cuz their dad LOVES Krokus! haha Just saw them in Vegas Tuesday. Badass show!! I'm a bigger fan after seeing them live.

[@ChevyLover396]

MMMm i do love Krokus but Sweets is a hard one to follow

[@RARufus]

This is a great cover but it's hard to top the original.

[@sandyd753]

I saw krokus with Dokken at the eagles ballroom in Milwaukee sometime in the 80s. Both were awesome live, as I recall. I love the original of this song, but I think krokus did a great job with it. I am surprised krokus didn't make it bigger and last longer than they did. They were a great band

[@barbaracicerchi5758]

I saw Krokus open for Motorhead. Amazing

[@meyeboy2]

Holy shit, i bet that was a super kickass show! 😯

[@sandyd753]

@@meyeboy2 it really was!

[@skiph1622]

Awesome sound in the 1980’s. But surprisingly they still do rock shows (outside the United States) and still sound amazingly great for a band 40 years older than when they were in their prime. Look up “Screaming in the night -live) 2023.

[@sandyd753]

@@skiph1622 that's great to hear. I had no idea they were still together and playing! Thanks for the info

[@marlamorris3721]

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to my childhood and a gymnasium dance that I used to get to attend with the older kids. Thank you for rocking my childhood!!!

[@andreaswolski5173]

So lange nicht mehr gehört. Glaube es war 77 auf einer Fete, geile Gruppe. Wir waren damala alle gut drauf. ::::

[@hughjass1044]

Heard this cover version for the very first time on the radio today. Don't know how I could have missed it back in the day!

[@Ильмур_69]

Извините, английским не владею в достаточной мере, но вот эту песню услышал в далёком 1985-м. Весь концерт, у друга, переписал на кассету и балдел. Хороший рок был в 80-х. Может ностальгия по юности....

[@guybarter8667]

My first concert, they opened for Priest in Portland Maine. Been a fan since! Going to see them in Boston soon!

[@TS-ib9ll]

Ah, good to see the old Krokus songs. Keep on rockin'!

[@stefangebhardt396]

Youbknow than this was a cover verdion Not from Krokus The song is by the Sweet

Fernando von arb is very awesome and all guys too. Wish to go back in the 80s.

[@Whitekhat]

Pretty faithful cover of The Sweet song, but with a little extra 80's sparkle. Love it.

It only took me … years to piece it all together, lol. This being the remake of "Sweets/Ballroom Blitz"...however I owned this album/song(bad version)before I tracked down the original version of Ballroom Blitz by Sweet...Sweet, wow how they lead the rock world in remakes of their songs.

Great cover

Love this song, and I sure do love 80s hair metal and glam punk!! By the way this song I sooo glam punk!! I can see people moshing to this song!! Again i like it!!

[@BrettHoustonTube]

What a Sweet ass song!

[@Jason-nn9pl]

Wow,small fan group!!!

[@FilmAppreciationSociety]

saw the "Swiss Bliz" live at Newport Music Hall in C-bus Ohio on High Street back in the day. 1984 Marc Storace was The Voice (although none could match vocal chords with the late Ronnie James Dio). Fernando Von Arb was their lead "shredder". Me and my mate were chatting up a pair of hot chicks in skin tight leather dresses at the bar and Fernando made his entrance into the club - bought the four of us a round of drinks on his tab. We were planned to hook up with those chicks at an I-hop after the show but were too wasted to find our car quickly and missed out - true story of my life.

Es tan dificil que alguien supere las versiones del grandioso Sweet, sin embargo no lo hacen mal, Krokus es un gran grupo

[@afoolsbabybear2266]

Si

[@D.A.Hanks14]

Best remake of this song. Everyone else tried to keep Sweet's sound, but Krokus made it in 80's metal style.

[@zooms7889]

yeah people couldn't recapture the vocalist's energy. Krokus didn't try, and the song reaped the benefits

[@farrellvanessa]

@@zooms7889 You're so right. No one could replicate Brian's voice. The man was a legend. This is a great cover though!

DEAR MUSIC INDUSTRY, WHY YOU CHOOSE AXL ROSE FOR AC/DC WHEN YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN THE GREAT MARC STORACE? !!!

[@andytanas]

They offered it to Storace when Bon Scott died and he turned it down

[@destrozandosuenosconlaverd4628]

Por q estas bien pendejo la musica industrial como dices se hace cuando la banda tiene exito acdc y guns n roses son de lo mejor han brillados solos no estas porquerias de banda q solo son poseers y todabia cantan canciones de otras bandas, el q es perico donde quiera es verde!!

[@monkeesfan1965]

or you could have let tem fade away, instead of the prolonged torture- to them and us

[@mithralnuggets8437]

Music industry? I'm pretty sure Angus chose Axl and it was a great choice.

[@hughjass1044]

I'm pretty sure it was the band who chose Axl and not "the music industry." Why not Storace? Who knows? Not available, not interested; coulda been a lot of things. I dunno; is he even still active today?

[@zooms7889]

This honestly sounds like a good live performance than a studio recording lol, with the vocals sounding pretty rough (quite good for live vocal standards tho), the guitar sounding a little unrefined but overall still good, and the drums sounding like normal

[@tomkelsey2303]

Saw Krokus open for someone in 1984-5ish. Can't remember who...Hagar, maybe? Anyway, they kicked ass!

[@buckwild8458]

This came out my sophomore year...

[@snerkberkeley5318]

The best thing about this song is that it was recorded in a single take in the studio. Not the normal hundreds, cut and spliced together. Says so right on the album cover.

[@zooms7889]

yeah from listening to this it really sounds more like a very good live performance than a studio recording, mostly bc the vocals aren't very good by studio recording standards, but the drums and guitar sound much better

Literal version lyrics: Someone's passing a note And he is putting it in his pocket See that woman sitting With the sailor with a snake 'round his neck See the man pouring drinks With the guy who ain't a shrink There appear to be newlyweds The woman just pushed that old man's head back And look she's gonna do it again Oh yeah Take a look at my band Can you see we're happenin' Can you see that I'm croonin' And my guitarist is groovin' And the camera is still filming us performin' Can you see that we're sick of it Sure I love to sing but it don't mean a thing If the camera's still filming it Filming it Filming it Filming it Filming it Oh three guys are just standing Waiting for a drink to fill them up The couple from earlier Is being visited by a local punk Now there's a fight going on No wait it's only a young Man getting an autograph Wait a minute autograph? You know, here's a fact That's a name of another band Oh yeah I am grabbing the mic See the drummer drummin' My guitarist jumpin' Now isn't that somethin'? And the camera is still filming us performin' Can you see that we're sick of it Sure I love to sing but it don't mean a thing If the camera's still filming it Filming it Sexy chick Flash and flick Filming it David Kelley's grandpa Just got blown away Now there's a storm brewin' A chick I'll be doin' And the camera is still filming us performin' Can you see that we're sick of it Sure I love to sing but it don't mean a thing If the camera's still filming it Filming it Barroom fight Python kiss Broken glass It's it's a barroom fight...(repeat until solo) Now a table is movin' A violinist soothin' And the camera is still filming us performin' Can you see that we're sick of it Sure I love to sing but it don't mean a thing If the camera's still filming it Filming it Crazy fans They just want To meet the band
