All of them are extremely hot and so he means: "In heaven there's no beer, so we'd better drink it here!" Thanks to: ..., Leo, Marc and Hena for 'surviving' my famous 'pasta-vodka' (Ha Ha), ... and especially Karin for the patience and comprehension... (I love you) And you. Yes, you! For makin' all this possible. Keep on rockin' and take care! Leo Leoni Gotthard's guitarist is the bands clown and permanent motivator but he also has a very high sensibility for all kind of creatures. Especially for animals! "Who's the animal?", he asks with irony but besides he also means that "blondes definitely have move fun..." Thanks to: ... and last but least my guitar. No thanks to drags, drunk & drive and furs. P. S. If I forgot somebody, I'm sorry. Shit happens! Marc Lynn Gotthard's bass player is a Formula 1-freak and you can definitely hear it. He loves dogs, horses and Asterix, the legendary Gaul, who teached us 2000 years ago that "we're responsible for everything we do ... but also for all the things we don't do!" Marc shares this opinion and he lives it. Thanks to: ..., fans and friends and especially all the guys from Gotthard for all the fun we got since we started. Let the good times roll! Hena Habegger Gotthard's drummer grew up in the Swiss Alps and of course he has a strong relationship to cowhides... "Don't talk but do it" is his Credo ... but what else could a drummer say! Thanks to: ... . All my friends around me. Thanks folks and ... Cheers!
