For the third time in as many years, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting Tommy Vetterly, Coroner’s guitarist. The first time, he was accompanying his delicious wife Nina in 69 Chambers during Hellfest 2010 and seemed filled with uncertainty regarding his band’s future. The second time, after his memorable performance at Hellfest 2011, his main feeling was relief at seeing that the band had achieved their stage reunion successfully. This time, Vetterli greeted us with a surprised look and a warm smile when we met him once again at the Motocultor festival (French festival) one sunny afternoon. This time, his face showed confidence, pleasure, and possibly pride, before the night’s show.
This year, however, instead of interviewing the band’s guitarist a third time to get news from Coroner and their projects for the future, we asked for another member’s opinion. In this instance, the other member was vocalist/bassist Ron Broder, also known at the time as Ron Royce.
Only a couple of hours before they were to tread the boards at the Motocultor festival, we met Broder near the prefabricated building that doubled as the band’s trailer. Hands shaking, he was trying to roll a cigarette. “I’m still very nervous before I go on stage”, he explains. That’s the moment a slightly inebriated man chooses to make an appearance. A fan of the Swiss trio, he expresses all the gratitude he feels towards the band, which, according to him, has changed his life. The man screams, waves about and asks us to take his picture with Broder, who seems touched by this declaration but also looks uncomfortable and shy. To relax a little and finally roll that bloody cig, he offers us to sit down and chat.
