Joerg Fischer played bass, additional guitars and backing vocals. He was born March 2, 1967 in Frankfurt/Main Germany (i.e. FLEXABLE). Joerg began playing guitar in 1981 and bass in 1990. He played in various rock, hard rock and progressive rock bands around Frankfurt and joined versus X in October 1999 after having met Ekkehard at an Spock's Beard concert. Because of his similar musical influences Jörg turned out to be the perfect missing part for versus X. He is also bass player and backing vocalist in the Deep Purple-Coverband "Cheap Turtle".
Stefan Maywald was the first Drummer of versus X and he played together with Arne since the times of its precursor Vague Venture.
Stephan Dilley was the band's bass player until 1997. He was born in 1966 and started playing bass guitar at the age of 23. Stephan joined versus X in 1995.
