Gotthard is definitely one of the most famous and successful Swiss artists ever and almost every album has topped the Swiss charts since 1990.
With 2 million albums sold (1 million of which were sold in Switzerland, which only has 7 million habitants), they managed to get multi-platinum awards in different parts of the world.
Influences include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Whitesnake, Deep Purple and Aerosmith. Singer Steve Lee is especially fond of Whitesnake and has based his singing style on their lead singer David Coverdale.
Gotthard also performed "Immigrant Song" (originally by Led Zeppelin) live and it featured exclusively on a CD by Classic Rock (a long running monthly UK rock magazine). "Hush" was also performed live and can be found on Made In Switzerland album.
Another cover of a song they have recorded is "The Mighty Quinn", originally called Quinn The Eskimo, by Bob Dylan.
Singer Steve Lee was killed in a motorcycle accident on October 5th 2010. A truck struck him while he was stopped on the side of a desert road in Nevada (USA), putting on rain gear.
Current line-up:
Nic Maeder: Vocals
Leo Leoni: Lead Guitar

Gotthard Lyrics
Fight Hold tight, got it all on and I’m taking so…
Give Me Real Take what you want and only taste from the middle Take…
I Can Got me when I’m giving all my time Got me when…
Remember It's Me I gave you all my love And I wonder what…
Right On Give it all you wanna, Give it all you got,…
S.O.S. I don’t get what’s wrong with me But I know…
Shine Just took another turn, You're here and now I burn Just…
Starlight If you wanna be what you see Just put your name…
Take It All back And there goes, what you give, what you give God knows…
Tell Me Tell me that you love me Tell me that you do Tell…
Where Are You Where are you? Are you where the sky's are blue? Are…
Yippie Aye Yay Down, down got me going Left my fate and a life…
