Volker Krawczak

German bass player, born October 5, 1962 in Bochum. In the years 1981–1986 Krawczak played bass in the German heavy metal band Steeler and appeared on the group's first two studio albums Steeler (1984) and Rulin' the Earth (1985). He was subsequently forced to leave the group because he was considered too fat, which did not fit the group's image of tall, thin musicians. Since 1989, he plays bass in former Steeler member Axel Rudi Pell's solo project.
