Bruno Laguide : Drums
His
musical career is narowly linked to Thierry's.
In fact, they founded Wotan together during the year 1976. In this first year, they could hardly find a place to rehearse, but anyway, the band was working well, even if they could not find "their" vocalist. After that, they found a place for rehearsal in Bruno's parent's house until he leaves for his military service, in 1979. This will mean the end of Wotan Mark I.
When he is back Wotan is brought back to life for a while, but, without the fitting vocalist, they quickly came to split. So he tried to do things on his own and joined a band called Panam, where the bass player was Boboss (the first bass player for Kob). But knowing that Thierry did not have no band by this time, he finally persuaded Boboss to come with them. This is how they started Wotan Mark II during the spring of 1982.
As
usual, they started without any singer. After they've been testing
a lot of them, in 1983 Bruno joined back Panam, which had find a wonderful
singer, Jean Jacques Berete. And during the summer of 1984 he came
back to Wotan with him. But even if they have been working very hard,
they had to face too many problems (especially with record companies).
So they decided to call it quit during July 1987. Bruno even decided
to stop everything.
But in 1997, Boboss wanted to make it back with Bruno and Thierry, to make it short, yet another version of Wotan !!!! So Thierry and Bruno started to work together during February of 1997, while Boboss was buying his new equipment. Boboss had stopped playing for six years and Bruno for ten !!!
In
the meanwhile they had learned that Wotan was used for nazi's propaganda
during WWII, so they decided to change the name of the band. After
two years of rehearsing, Stéphane Graziani came in, the band became
Kob and Rudy came in as well. Then Boboss decided to quit and was
replaced by a guy who had been meeting Thierry at school in ... 1975,
François !!!!
