 Krunk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Krunk is the brainchild of eighties drum legend James Kottak who goes by the name Jimmy Ratchitt.
A lot of people have taken this song out of context saying the song is Racist, Kottak personally told me the song is in reference to a Daniel Boone poem about how when Daniel Boone came back to Kentucky how much more populated it was.
I was really surprised in a lot of ways by how well James is singing ability is. Krunk is more along the lines of Punk than Hard Rock, so their fan base will be within that genre.

Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jimmy Ratchitt, who, in another life, as James Kottak, drummed for KINGDOM COME and, for the last 10 years, Germany’s prime heavy metalists, SCORPIONS, Kottak also boasts another major player in Athena.
Obvious comparisons will no doubt ensue over the drumming styles of Athena and her brother but one thing is for certain, Athena’s her own person.
Kottak represents her music, the band’s singular vision, and, along with Jimmy/Dave/Rev, her shot at the brass ring.

This time, The Scorpions came with a full band, with Klaus Meine on lead vocals, Rudolph Schenker (guitar and background vocal), Matthias Jabs (guitar), James Kottak (drums and percussion) and Ralph Rieckerman (bass guitar).
The highlight of the night was James Kottak, who stole the show by doing a 10-minute demonstration of shouting plus drumming, and did a spectacular improvisation while the others took a break and changed costume for the second half.

The short-lived Hard Rock outfit WILD HORSES was formed by former BLACK SHEEP and KINGDOM COME drummer James Kottak who ultimately found himself reunited with KINGDOM COME colleague Rick Steier alongside ex-SHOUT vocalist John Levesque.
The original intention Kottak had after forming the group was to work with his old BUSTER BROWN colleague Johnny Edwards, but the singer was nabbed by FOREIGNER to fill LOU GRAMM's shoes and thus Levesque stepped in.
Until Jimmy Bain laughingly told Kottak about his old, long defunct British band of the same name Kottak was unaware that the handle had been used before.

Apparently, this is another classic rock band that refuses to die.

This 1999 CD from the incredibly successful Scorpions was met with cries of outrage and confusion by fans who had come to expect albums like "Crazy World" and "Love at First Sting." "Eye II Eye" was an experiment - and one that was only occasionally successful.
