Does anybody know the whereabouts of original Eloy bassist Wolfgang Stocker, who played on their first two albums? Is he still living? What happened to him after his time with Eloy? |

| I don't know but what you can do is highlight his name then do right click and then "search google for.." If nothing comes up then he's probably working at a hardware store somewhere. |

Great question, OP. Perhaps the Mysterious Monolith hides the truth? ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Big Bang Magazine has some more information. See the end of the paragraph for 1973: http://www.bigbangmag.com/deloy4.php" rel="nofollow - http://www.bigbangmag.com/deloy4.php Using Google translate: "Back from this trip, the bassist Wolfgang Stocker, then the youngest member of Eloy, decides to throw in the towel and find an occupation more compatible with his family life. He is now CEO of a major insurance company ... He is replaced by Luitjen Janssen." ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |
