Timeline

1953

Fernando von Arb or simply FVA (born 17 January 1953) is a Swiss guitarist, songwriter and producer.

He is best known for being the lead guitarist of the Swiss hard rock band Krokus.

1970

In the early 1970s, Von Arb was playing in the band Montezuma when he was recruited by Chris von Rohr and Tommy Kiefer to join their band, Krokus.

He joined the group in time for their second album, To You All as the rhythm guitarist.

In the 1970s, Von Arb undertook the task of finding a powerful voice to front the band, encountering trouble until he discovered Maltese-born Marc Storace to lead his band's vocals for years to come.

Although Von Arb and Storace have been apart for a few albums, they are still in Krokus to this day.

At one point, Storace and Von Rohr quit the band, leaving Von Arb to create another band with ex-Krokus member Juerg Naegeli.

They took pseudonyms which were Rob Weiss and Ben Branov (Branov is von Arb spelled backwards), and the two released a couple of albums that were big in Switzerland.

1990

In 1990, Von Arb assembled another line-up for Krokus, which would be shunned and uncared for.

Around the same time, Von Arb became ill, leading to suspicion that he may have been diagnosed with lymphoma, but he is healthy now.

1994

1994 rolled around, and Von Arb again tried to build Krokus.

He was successful, with former vocalist Marc Storace rejoining the lineup.

1999

Failing to keep Storace in 1999 proved to be a downfall.

Round 13 was released, but was less noticed.

2004

In 2004, Von Arb and Storace reunited once again and released live albums that proved to be an advantage of having Storace.

2005

In 2005, Von Arb temporarily left Krokus due to tendonitis in his wrist to be replaced by Mandy Meyer.

2007

However, by 2007, he had returned and was able to reunite the four principle members of the group's classic line-up (featuring himself, Storace, Von Rohr, and Freddy Steady).

2008

By 2008, the group's rhythm guitarist during much of the "classic lineup days," Mark Kohler, had also rejoined the lineup, a landmark in the band's history, and the quintet played several live shows.

2010

In 2010, Krokus released the album Hoodoo.

2013

Von Arb and Krokus released Dirty Dynamite on 5 March 2013 with minor success in the US, but a major hit in Switzerland.

It contains a cover of The Beatles' hit song "Help!".

2017

In 2017, Krokus and von Arb went on to release their cover album, Big Rocks.

2019

In 2019, Krokus announced that they would be retiring following their farewell tour.

Plans for the tour were postponed into 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
