Singer Rejected Auditioning To Join AC/DC

Krokus’ Marc Storace once auditioned for AC/DC. However, he had to turn it down for certain reasons.

Marc Storace explains his decision

In a new interview with Mark Strigl , the rocker explained why he turned the offer down and how he felt about it.

“I had the opportunity to audition and I turned it down because I was feeling real happy with the way things were going for Krokus,” Storace responded when asked about the rumors. “I was loyal to my new buddies and happy with the music direction, and the way things were going.”

“The guy who asked me if I wanted to go audition was the CEO of the company that just delivered our new light show and I was really on cloud nine with Krokus. I said, ‘No, I’m not going to audition for anybody. I’m happy here,’” he added.

AC/DC had started searching for new singers following Bon Scott’s passing in 1980. They first asked Slade’s Noddy Holder, but he refused. AC/DC later asked Iggy Pop, but his reason for turning the offer down was different.

“I listened to their record. I thought I can’t fill that bill. I wasn’t like, ugh, I don’t like them. It was quite well made. They do careful work. But I’m not what they needed,” he explained.

Storace had also rejected, but he later revealed that he didn’t regret his decision and was happy with how things were going.

“The thing about AC/DC is it’s not realistic to think that way, when you think why I have decided that way. And I wouldn’t change a minute. I’m happy. I have a loving wife. I have two beautiful children. They’re intelligent. They’re doing their own thing, I have my own house. I’m an ambassador for Peugeot. It’s great to be alive. And that’s why I’m doing my solo album. And I don’t want to stop,” the lead singer said.

Krokus is set to play a few shows at Great Stirrup Cay from March 10th to 15th to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band. They will then move on to Sweden’s Time To Rock Festival.
