艺人介绍

这是一个来自瑞士的硬摇滚乐队，成立与1990年。乐队成员由主唱Steve Lee、吉他手Leo Leoni、Freddy Scherer、贝斯手Marc Lynn、鼓手Hena Habegger组成。可能这对于一个极端金属乐队来说，已经是前辈级别的，但是对于一个硬摇滚风格的乐队来说，他们还是后生仔。从1990年开始，他们的作品一直没有断过，07年的这张Domino Effect作品已经是他们的第9张正式作品。之前的作品得到过很多高级别的奖项和荣誉，受到过英国传统摇滚权威杂志的盛赞。仅在瑞士本土唱片销量就达到 1百万张，要知道，整个瑞士就仅仅有7百万人口。主唱Steve Lee 2010年10月10日死于车祸。Gotthard于2011年11月20日宣布他们已经找到新主唱来代替因车祸不幸逝世的主唱Steve Lee，继任者是1971年出生于瑞士洛桑的Nic Maeder。无疑，GOTTHARD 是瑞士历史上最成功的摇滚艺人。GOTTHARD 的风格中受到很多老牌硬摇滚乐队的影响，比如 Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Whitesnake, Deep Purple，以及明显的 Aerosmith。很多人说他们的主唱象极 Whitesnake 的主唱，有一种成熟男性的沧桑感。无论是抒情的，爆发力的，旋律的，节奏的歌曲，GOTTHARD都有着真正的王者风范，很多歌曲让我们这些听老摇滚过来的人倍感亲切。是那种如果你也能弹着吉他，在舞台上唱起这样歌曲，姑娘就会马上爱上你的那种甜蜜沧桑摇滚乐。对那些怀旧的朋友，年纪比较大，火气不是那么旺的朋友，GOTTHARD可能是你一听就会动心的作品。 by Jason Birchmeier Gotthard, a Swiss hard rock band that sings in English, are one of the most successful musical acts ever to arise from Switzerland. Gotthard sold over two million albums worldwide, one million of them sold in Switzerland alone (a country of less than eight million inhabitants, keep in mind), as practically all of the band's albums were Swiss chart-toppers. Gotthard were also popular in Germany, where the band's albums regularly charted. Formed in Lugano, a town in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in the far south of Switzerland, the band was initially named Krak and was comprised of vocalist Steve Lee, guitarist Leo Leoni, bassist Marc Lynn, and drummer Hena Habegger. Under the guidance of Krokus bassist/songwriter/founder Chris von Rohr, the band changed its name to Gotthard (a name derived from Saint Gotthard, a Roman Catholic saint after which the well-known St. Gotthard Pass in Switzerland was named) and signed a recording contract with BMG.With von Rohr at the helm as their producer and co-songwriter, the band went about recording its debut, Gotthard (1992). In addition to von Rohr, Lee and Leoni were the primary songwriters, and Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell played on two songs ("Firedance," "Get Down"). Gotthard spawned a pair of MTV-aired videos ("Hush," "All I Care For") and spent 15 weeks on the Swiss chart, peaking at number five and ultimately earning platinum status. After some international touring, Gotthard returned to the studio with von Rohr once again at the helm as producer/co-songwriter, resulting in Dial Hard (1994), the band's second album. Even more successful than Gotthard, Dial Hard spent several weeks at number one in Switzerland, charted in Germany and Japan, and ultimately went platinum, thanks in part to MTV-aired videos for "Mountain Mama" and "I'm on My Way." In 1995, the band and von Rohr traveled to Los Angeles to record a follow-up album, G. (1996), whose release was preceded by the single "Father Is That Enough?" A chart-topper in Switzerland and Top 50 in Germany, G. was promoted with a sold-out Swiss tour, a 20-date German tour, and a Japanese tour as well. Mandy Meyer, onetime guitarist for Asia (Astra, 1985), joined the band membership at this point. (He later left in 2004 and was replaced by Freddy Scherer.) Gotthard's popularity continued unabated in the wake of G., which might have been the band's moment of peak popularity. D-Frosted (1997), a live unplugged album, and Open (1999), a standard studio effort, each spent five weeks atop the Swiss album chart. Gotthard were touring throughout Europe at this point, and in 2000 they enjoyed their first number one single, "Heaven." Successive album releases continued to hit number one in Switzerland while charting respectably in Germany: Homerun (2001), the ballad collection One Life One Soul (2002), Human Zoo (2003), the best-of collection One Team One Spirit (2004), Lipservice (2005), the live album Made in Switzerland (2006), and Domino Effect (2007).
