° THE COSMIC TOILET ° - Info
*** (This is just a copy of the Info from my old "real" website, mainly written in November 2001, but also with some updated stuff from 2008 and 2009...) ***
*The Toilet-Music-Story* (flushings of the Toilet):
I started seriously making music at the age of 9. Drums and a bit later also guitar.
I broke a lot of my mothers' knitting-needles, by hitting them around on everything in my room whilst listening to Sweet, Teens, Sailor, Les Humphries, Truck-Stop, Abba and Elvis...
...Later then I found a very old guitar from my fathers' mother with only three rusty strings on it. But that was enough for me to play the bass-notes of songs from Iron Maiden and Kiss...
Oh I forgot, when I was 6, I was forced to learn that melodica-shit. I hated it. But I was able to make one strange sound of dissonance with it... That was my first musicaly expression "in front of the things for which I didn't have asked for"
... Anyway - ...
I also loved to play the little Glockenspiel we had. And the first song which I ever have learned by ear to play on it was "Moonriver".
...Well, I was a weird child, but I had my romantic moments :)
My sister had a flute and an accordion. Also good stuff to make some crazy-evil noise!
I liked to play the director of an orchestra (in my imagination) whilst listening to my fathers' Mozart and Beethoven-Stuff.
...Strawinsky would have been better, but I had no big choice then.
My aunt had an old piano. And sometimes while the others were still eating, I went to that piano-room and improvised "strange noise"...and scared the others and even myself with it, until someone screamed: "play something nice or stop it...we're still eating...!!"
In school I was the first singer until my voice was breaking.
I had lots of "gigs" with singing or doing some stupid-funny theatre-stuff at the age of 3 to 10. I didn't liked to do that much but well...
With doing that shit I made some points by my neurotic kindergarten-attendant, and later by my evil teacher of death...!...
And singing and playing in front of drunken valley-fools, sweating parents and other scary freaks was quite an experience...
...Maybe that was my first step into "Rock & Roll"-Business!
I also had a small "career" as a drummer in the music-club of the town... But after one and a half hour I was so pissed and sick of that goddamned waltz-3/4-boredom and that old weird asshole who was the director, so I just stood up, threw my sticks away and cursed that fucking-stupid Nazi-Shit to hell.
...well, I had luck! Fifty or a hundred years earlier I would have been burnt for that action... ...but what not happened can still happen :-o ...the torture never stopsss.
Anyhow, I took some lessons in drumming. But that was a waste of time. Because these "strange guys" showed me stuff that I either didn't wanted to learn, or they just pissed me off with their damned antisocial authoritarian commands. And they wanted lots of money for that stupid shit!
May they burn in hell forever.
So I kept on learning to play "Run To The Hills" by myself, and had a good time anyway! :)
My music-teacher (Mr.Gensler) in school showed me a bit on the guitar until I was able to play "Karl der Käfer" (from "Gänsehaut"), "Über den Wolken" (Reinhard May), "Yesterday" (Beatles), and other nice songs...
That was fun. He was okay.
With 11 (in summer 1982) I had my first complete drum-set! Also a better acoustic-guitar.
That was the "real" beginning...! Learning to play all my albums from Iron Maiden, Kiss, Saxon, Pink Floyd, and Motörhead... by ear, day in day out... and making our neighbourhood going mad... .
Sometimes I played drums or guitar in "church"!
I mean, besides the fact that all these evil stories and that awful music in "church" made me just fucking paranoid, it was evil-stupid-boring hell for me. ---Watching the eternal flame in resignation... hoping it's gonna end all soon... pain of life, anger of death, the eternal madness, hell & fire, or a never-ending boring paradies, and stuff... :)--- ewww, fuck off.
...But playing "When the smoke is going down" (from "Scorpions"), while the blessed freaks left the building, was an unusual bizarre event!...!
When I was 12, I founded a little band in school. "The SAND-RIDERS".
(I had that "great" idea for that silly band-name, while I have read the lyrics from Iron Maiden's "To Tame A Land"!...)
Anyway, there was Ralf Zeiler on guitar, Susanne Kling on Keyboards, and me on drums. And sometimes others who tried to sing and stuff. ...I remember -"Mambo" was the best! :)
...We covered songs from Elvis and Scorpions... .
Finally we had two 20-minutes-gigs on one day, where I also played the "hard-learned" drum-solo from Vinnie Appice (from the Black Sabbath - Live-eviL -Record). What a climax! ...
That was a funny cool time with them then... We were friends, but I think they had a hard time with me sometimes, because I was a draconian asshole... Sorry but -Hell, I wanted to get famous, as quick as possible! :-/ ... :)
Later I also did other music-projects, sessions, recordings and live-gigs in school, at home or in rehearsal-rooms with friends.
But nothing ever had reached "THE SAND-RIDERS Experience" again!
Playing with old-home-town-friend Frank was also funny. He played accordion and I played drums.
Together we played "Carma-Karma-Cama-Kama-.?..-Chameleon" from Culture-Club... And OUR Version really ROCKED!!!
And nope, we weren't gay.
With school-friend Branko, it was always great to play the whole Gary Moore "We want Moore"-live-record. He sang and I played guitar and sang also. Great fun!
Yep, "Iron Maiden", "Gary Moore", and "Pac-Man" - That was our thing :)
And I still have lots of old tape-recordings from acoustic-guitar-sessions (the best-ones from summer 1986) with Boris (a good ol' friend from then).
But he didn't like to play with me much, because I always condemned him to play the rhythm-guitar while I played the fuck out of me in eternal pseudo-Ritchie Blackmore-solos...
(sorry Boris, I know you suffered...)
From thirteen to fifteen I was the drummer of my first "real" band: "THE STYLE". ...what a stupid band-name...
Anyhow, besides lots of personal conflicts, our music was really cool! I absolutely loved it. VanHalen-Whitesnake-AC/DC-BrianAdams-alike-Rock'n'Roll.
I had a good and also a stupid time with these "nice guys"... once we were friends, but then... one time these snobs fired me because they thought I was a too fucked up person for them! Well, how right they were!!!... :-) But then they couldn't find a better drummer anyway...
We did a 4-Track-Demo and had one final gig in the school of the other band-members. Yelling girls and stuff... Wonderful shit... .
Then I played in a band called "MESSALINA". In which I also have played since the beginning of 1986...
The music was something like Rush meets Marillion meets Deep Purple meets Billy Idol meets Thin Lizzy meets Saga.
Good musicians and really great music!! Just own compositions. And I also made good sessions and some recordings with Andi the guitar-player. I learned a lot from him! But as a band we unfortunately failed. In the end we did not know what we did... Maybe...?!... But nevertheless it was a great time!
All in all we made a 4-Track-Demo, a Studio-Demo, and we had two gigs.
After that time with them (in autumn 1987) it was the beginning for me, where I seriously started to feel that I have to compose and do my own music without compromise.
And that's it what I did.
But I also carried on in searching for a band. That was a dumb time. I had lots of sessions with musicians and bands from everywhere, but none of them were able to "fulfil my heavy demands"... Most of them were just boring dreamers or their musical horizon was too limited...
Well, I know, I was an arrogant fuck-up, but I also payed hard for my "sins", since I grew up in a small town, full of paranoid freaks, religious-superstitiousness, and other brutal-stupid-interesting stuff. So, no wonder...
"I ALREADY PAYED HARD FOR JUST BEING BORN" - So what did you expect?!!! ;-) ... .
... It was clearly that one day I had to end in these other strange realms of music, in jail, or in a sanatorium ...! :) ...
In spring '89 I had one very stupid "solo-gig" which I will never forget. I played on a school-festival in a room where they sold french-meal. The people were louder than me with my acoustic-guitar, (I played some Meola/McLaughlin-alike-Stuff) so I took the microphone and said that they should shut up or leave. Then I played on like a soldier . "Very impressive"... :-) ...
Another similar gig then was with the keyboarder Bernd Engelberg from old-"Messalina" at my last day in school. Before, we rehearsed two instrumental-songs from me... We played good but the concert was bare bullshit...
...yeah "Life is Haaard if you want to present some Aaaart".
NOBODY TOLD ME THAT!!! Then I knew it.
And the march to absurdity had just begun...
Months later I found a band called "EMERALD" (years later they called themselves "Rachel's Birthday").
They were brilliant! A music-mix of Yes, Genesis, Marillion, Zappa, and Electronic-stuff.
But they broke up shortly after I've learned some of their songs on the drums.
Anyhow I started a project with their keyboarder Alfred Müller and their singer Ralf Glasbrenner. And we sounded great as a "prog-rock-trio"!
But well, for some strange reasons this thing... Juz Another Band-History... .
Anyway, later I composed and recorded some good stuff with Alfred Müller until very strange things happened... .
"THE FORMULA" = another good "Art-Rock"-band where I played for ONE rehearsal. Well...
Then I played the drums with CEZANNE. = ZZ-Top/southern rock-stuff band, at the end of '89.
It was fun. Great guys... Cool Time.
God, life could have been easy. Playing rock-drums and living Rock And Roll, BUT...
...Other sessions with other bands followed. Either as drummer or guitar-player.
Shit-Bizz as usual... :o ...
In summer/autumn-1990 I started to study music in vienna - at the "AIM".
I did that half a year until I came to the insight that it just made me even more fucked up than I already was, and that it just bored me to death. I'm sorry for some good teachers there, but it was really not my thing. I mean, I always just hated school with all my strength!... :-/ So what was I thinking?!... I always had known what I wanted in music. And everything I can do, I've learned from myself by listening to records and trying to figuring it out on the instruments. And it worked since "day one"...
...So I really was a dumb guy when I had the idea to "study" music...
But anyway it was a good experience with the people and the life there.
(Greetings to Haymo, Jean-Marc, Jean-Pierre and Leo!)... .
Back from vienna, playing "live" with "Nice Rock-band"-projects = God that sucked!!! It just made me crazy on stage. And so I started to do some aggressive nonsens to keep myself from dying...
Until that time, playing "live" my "arty"-kind of music was also no big satisfaction.
In Dec.'91 I played a little gig with keyboarder, singer, friend and founder of "Messalina" -Roland Bliesener at a Vernissage... I thought my head explodes...
Well I was a bad amok-sucker... . That gig had brought me to the realization that I always had one big problem in presenting my music and myself, in a "social" way.
It always seemed like a big lie to me, to play the game as everything seems to be alright while the music keeps "telling" the outside that nothing is alright.!?!...
Well, I took that "unnecessary-shit" very serious. Later I realized that no-one gives a shit.
= In the end, music is "just entertainment". You can't change the world with entertainment. And as a musician you only can give your contribution to the Music-World. But you can't touch the Real-World with it. "I'm sorry to say that". ...
But anyway, music makes sense as long as it makes fun or any reason for yourself.
Very cheap, but I think that's it. = "Get a Sense of Humour or Die".
But "Rock'n'Roll" is not the answer for everything. ... But I dunno.
So let's have fun anyway. Nearly anything is better than just waiting and dying. :-O
After that period I worked on in recording my own music like insane.
I also did some recordings with or for friends like CeBe. = He was the founder, guitar-player & singer of "Comtdicman" (now he is with The Watcher), ...and with other music-people... .
I just did that because I had to do that. I had no idea where this should end. I didn't even thought about it. Maybe sometimes, but then I was just damned-frustrated.
Besides that, my inner psychopathic warfare was always too big for really winning something with my talents in the outside-world.
So - "You really have to be very stupid when you're doing something with all your passion and energy in a world where nobody gives a GaGa for it"- IS NOT THE ANSWER for why I stucked...!...
But for me there's not much real-fun out there - So what d' fuck.
---Nobody has asked for it. Nobody said that it's going to be easy. Nobody even cares. There is even no fucking reason for anything!!! So, Shut up 'n' play yer Guitar.---
In 1993 I played guitar in a Cover-Band ("Frantic"). That was a very sick time. But also funny, sometimes. Well, it was a necessary "station". The best thing was that I've learned a lot about playing guitar with an amp!! Not only with an effect-processor as I was used to do before then.
I played 25-30 gigs with them. Lots of unforgettable moments... It wasn't just bad, but... well, it was just not my time.
Then I was pretty fucked up and totally sick for a long time (after all).
But I recorded some of my best personally music at that "phase".
One gig in October '94 with the fun-punkers from "Ferdich Ab" brought me back to life, where I just sat in a big chair on stage and improvised some stupid entertainment (pretending to wank, annoying the audience and shit...). Before and after every song I had to hit a big gong next to me... I know it sounds very stupid and sick. It was in fact very stupid and sick. That's the reason why I liked it!
Then I did this kind of entertainment also "live" with The Cosmic Toilet. Only in a musical different frame.
"THE TIME OF MY LIFE HAD JUST BEGUN" . ... Jippyyyy...
( shut up. )
.
Since 1989, that's when I started constant home-recording, I have now music-material for maybe 99 CDs, full-packed with musical-adventures from all possible kinds and styles of that thing - M.U.S.I.C.
But who needs it?!
Well, "The day may come when the world is ready for The Cosmic Toilet"
- or the other way round...
So if this is it, this is it. (huh?) (!)
.
I also made projects with people who make poetry.
A really good-one with Rainer Würth, back in '94/'95.
We made a Tape with our recordings = "Sex, 12°, regnerisch".
Dark-bizarre-funny Stuff.
I did some studio-musician-jobs,
- with Fun-Punk-Band "Ferdich Ab", in '95. Some drums, bass, and guitars,
- with Poet-Avant-Jazz-Rock-Punk-Band "Krakatit", in '97. Some guitars and Song-writings.
Live-gigs,
- with Krakatit, = Guitar & Stage-Acting,
- Helge Schneider-Cover-Band, = Percussions,
- and The Cosmic Toilet. = ... .
Performances ( The Cosmic Toilet ), ...
I also produced a 4-Track-Recordings-DCD, and mixed one normal CD for "Schrödinger's Cat", 1998/'99.
... and the normal "sessions and recordings with people"-stuff. Until it was time again for the Real-Toilet.
*** OOOPS , I forgot to mention my All-Time-Favorite Live-Band "COMTDICMAN", where I used to play mainly the drums or sometimes bass or guitar or vocals, or whatever... at the shows.
It was great shit, I loved it to death. It was a fat-balled comedy of Punk, Rock'n'Roll and high-quality- Sickness. I always was looking forward to die on stage with them...! Wow, cool :) ...
...anyway, if only they could have been able to play my Toilet-Music, then I would have had a "The Cosmic Toilet - DREAM-BAND" ... ***
.
"The COSMIC TOILET - L I V E", is normaly only myself, playing and improvising to background-music and noise-atmospheres which comes from the Dat-recorder.
Everything else is open. = The course of such a gig is up to the behaviour of the audience.
But sometimes I also invite some musician-friends to play with the Toilet...
.
* " In memory ... " * :
The "real-live" Cosmic Toilet was born in November 1997, in PF (Rumpelkammer).
There I had my first "planned" solo-gig.
I was "the opener" for another good PF-Band "Rusty Cage".
I called my show - "Zipfel". [You can hear the first song "ZERO"-(which was the friendliest Song of that evening...) of that concert on my double CD "Groby's Cosmic Toilet"-CD2"S.B.G.M."]
Before my actual show started, I already stood on the stage and played funny noises and silly stuff... The people came into the hall and didn't know if it was the beginning of the concert or whatever.
Then after an hour or so, the lights went out and The Nightmare Begun!
Well, it was a really black and intensive "program". It turned into THE DARK SIDE OF THE TOILET. I played guitar, sang, screamed, yelled and talked to my Dat-backgrounds.
It was hell. Thomas Mrochen (the mixer) made an earthquake of a sound. And Marco Alvino (engineer) made a great light-show. It was wonderful.
It was really the first time in my life where I enjoyed "my existence" on Stage!
... Yep, that was my night.
Some people of the audience were shocked and left the hall. But well... go to hell.
So, that evening was something really very special to me. And it was also the beginning of the "Live-Toilet". Others followed.
.
.. ... and now ... .. ( ?!? ) :
Yo, since the last years there was not much musical-life shown from me.
I did my "Shaggy..."-CD, played some "Comtdicman"-gigs, sat a lot in front of my Mac, remastered tons of old "Toilet"-material; worked on and recorded some new stuff; played, and recorded sessions... , ...
Well, my life has changed a lil'... . But that's okay...
...and last but not least, hmm well... nuff' said.
So here I sit again on my own. It's the same guy on the same Toilet.
_- Up The Toilets -_
.
The CDs I released are one double-CD, called "GROBY'S COSMIC TOILET", and one "normal"-CD, called "SHAGGY ANGEL COCKTAIL".
The double CD contains the first CD called "MUTANT", stuffed with 4-Track Recordings from 1995... , and the second CD is called "SHADY BUBBLED GUITAR MOVIES", with also 4-Track-Stuff from 1997 and more... Musical-Adventures between Jazz-Rock / Noise / Ambient / Metal / Space-Blues / Avantgarde / Nonsense and whatever...
So here we go, and oh wait, I forgot to explain my third CD = SHAGGY ANGEL COCKTAIL , from 1999. It's 8-Track-Stuff. The style of these recordings is really "glamorous" in comparison to the other CDs... Maybe just "more normal", I don't know... . But I like it! :)
All the Music on the CDs is composed, recorded and "just done" by myself.
But during the mastering-process in making the Songs ready for CD, I had helping hands, ears (and arty-farts) from Kai Portolano, Horscht Andree, Zvony Artitsch, and Thomas Mrochen.
...You can read this stuff on the CD-Covers... .
.
.
So, I wish you some good kind of fun or whatever with my music and the rest of the realms of The Cosmic Toilet.!.
.
If you have some interest in buying a COSMIC TOILET-CD, then please mail me, and I'll send you details.
The double-CD "GROBY'S COSMIC TOILET-1 & 2" costs 10.- Euro
The "SHAGGY ANGEL COCK"-CD costs 10.-Euro
So, fight for the last original Toilet-CDs on Earth !!!
.
Oooh: (the great legendary "Stefan Grob & Rainer Würth"-Tape: "Sex, 12°, regnerisch", is also still available!!!
- As a remastered CD = 10.-Euro).
.
.
.
If you have any questions or whatever..., mail me.
*** RECORD-COMPANIES ARE WELCOME *** --- hm... .
Greetings From Beyond The Toilet !
..., yours Stefan Grob
- Groby, November 2001 -
...
May the Toilet be with you . ALWAYS .

°°° 01. April 2008 °°° :
Erst 'mal 'n paar überfällige Nachträge:
"musikalische Stationen - spezielle Events" der letzten Jahre,
welche bis jetzt ein bisle sang-und-schwanzlos unkommentiert passierten.
( - Lang ist's her, aber egal - )
Falls ich 'was oder Jemanden vergesse, oder Jemand hier erwähnt wird
der bisher ein unbescholtenes Dasein -ohne in Verbindung mit The COSMIC TOILET
gebracht zu werden- führen konnte, 'tschuldigung.
:
Im Juli 2003 (während meiner ja hauptberuflichen "The WATCHER"-Zeit)
schickte mir Quensch (Achim Gschwend, Q-Songs) ein Liedchen
von Seiner Einer zum Gitarren drauf machen
für/von Meiner Einer/meinerseits.
Hatte ich dann auch gemacht.
Und irgendwas hat er dann wiederum damit gemacht...
Irgendwo auf seiner Website gibt's das...
- - -
Ende 2003 spielte ich live mit "DRUKK" (rip) die Drums zum Judas Priest-Cover
"Breaking The Law". Was kann's/konnte es schöneres geben für den alten
Metal-Groby ?!!! - I NEVER FORGET WHERE I'M COMING FROM -
Folgendes soll an dieser guten Stelle 'mal gesagt sein:
Ich mein', ich liebe Jazz-Rock, jeglich guten Prog-Rock, Space-Music,
Avantgarde, Klassik, Blues, Punk ... und den ganzen Müll
der da kam und als musikalisches Ausdrucksmittel interessant war
von da ab wo ich 17-18 war. Aber wer mit dem Rock & Metal Zeug der 70er/80er
aufgewachsen ist wie ich, Musiker ist, sich aber im Nachhinein "zu schade"
dafür ist..., ist einfach nur sau-dumm. So wie ich nicht.
Hmmm, wäre ich doch lieber "normaler" Metal-Rock-Drummer geblieben...
Sowieso, am Ende ist Musik nur Musik und kann uns auch nicht retten vor
durchgeknallten New-Age-lern und philosophisch-verkümmerten-abergläubisch-
pseudo-selbstbewusst-übermutivierten Schwanznasen jeglicher Sorte.
Vorallem wenn diese dann noch "Musiker" sind. Wai-o-wai, diese Leute
sind gesellschaftlich viel zu talentiert und psychologisch so armselig normal,
daß es ein Verbrechen ist, ihnen überhaupt Instrumente zu verkaufen.
Egal was sie damit auch machen, sie wissen nicht was sie tun.
Sie wollen nur Agathe Müller gefallen.
Aber ist es nicht das was wir alle wollen ?!! Ja, auch sie, Herr Grob, gell ?!
Maul halten.
Und wie schon Curd Jürgens so schön sprach, auf Jeff Wayne's deutscher
Musical-Version von "Der Krieg Der Welten" '78:
"... Die Welt gehört den Marsianern ..."
Was ich damit sagen will, ich weiß es nicht. Aber ich spüre es.
"Rock'n'Rooooooooooooool..."
- - -
April 2004 war ich für ca. 3-4 Proben bei der pforzheimer
Cover-Band "RED HEAT" als Schlagzeuger tätig.
Mit gutem-altem Steffe Erhardt (von meinen einstigen "CEZANNE"-Tagen 1989)
an der kuulsten Rrrrock-Gitarre Doitschlanz,
Franz Nagel (d Billy Sheehan aus Pforzä) am Bass,
und 'nem geilen Sänger (Name, weiß nemme).
Aus Zeitgründen blieb ich dann aber nicht dabei.
Egal, die Proben waren geil !!!
Vorallem war's wohl die letzte Chance in meinem Leben
'mal wieder Tommy Aldridge-mäßig abzugehen auf
"...in the still of the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..."
- - -
Mai 2004 spielte ich für zwei Lieder von "OPPOSED"
(Pforzheims legendärste Trash-Death-Metal Band) Keyboards ein.
- - -
Die erste Hälfte bis Dreiviertel des letzten Jahres (2007) verbrachte ich
wie irgendwo oben schon erwähnt mit Stefan Kling und seiner Musik.
Wir spielten ein Mal live (April '07) in Stuttgart im Weißnichmehr auf so 'nem
Radio-Deutschelandsuchtvozhadgschisse-Festival. Saudumm aber witzig sowas
wenigstens zu-guter-letzt auch 'mal erüberlebt zu haben. Schbizze.
Brawo Grob.
Irgendwo im Netz kursiert sogar ein Live-Video-Mitschnitt davon...
Dann machten wir 'mal 'ne Pink Floyd-Coverband zum Geburtstag von 'nem
Kumpel von Ihm. Das war ein Highlight jener Zeit!
Klampfen auf "Comfortably Numb", "Run Like Hell" und Nobody Home".
Kuuuuuuuuul! Gilmour und Waters forever...
Da waren Daniel Wetzel (Pforzheim kennt und liebt Ihn) am Bass,
Mario Andrich (Büchenbronn...) - Gesängung und Keytöne,
Herr Kling an den Trömmeln, der Groob am Ascht, und diverse Gäste...
Jaja das war toll, aber das eigentlich Beste:
Die Stefan Kling CD "Umbrella Times" kommt nun doch nicht 'raus.
Was ein quatsch...
Schade. Es war Hammer-Musik. Ich spielte einige meiner geilsten Gitarren-
Sachen und Zeugs dafür ein. Die Nach-Produktion war beschwerlich, aber
es wäre mindestens ein saugutes Demo geworden.
...hm. Un alläs dooo füor Umme !!!
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAcCcK
ajo abor glachd hemor
- - -
Dann waren da noch '06/'07 diverse Auftritte im "Afrika"- Restaurant
mit Miki, S. Kling, ... und im "Kupferdächle" bei der Session...
Proberaum-Parties... Becken-Sprünge... Ausnüchterungszellen...
Platzwunden... Veilchens... "Ein Künstlerleben in Pforzheim halt"...
Aber nun genug mit dem Geseich.

Goodbye stupid yesterday - Hello fucked-up tomorrow ... yes she is.
