Scorpions :)

Noisy buggers!!

Always loved the Scorpions!  Lovedrive was my favorite album.  I used to be able to play fake drums to every song (air drums?  I used drumsticks without a kit but knew where every hit and kick was supposed to be!) and I knew all the rhythm guitar parts to each song (plus a couple of the leads).  Fun stuff!

I have enuf trouble makin' up schtuff for original songs. I can't be arsed to learn existing schtuff.

...apart from the last batch of cover tunes you just posted, obveeusslee..

I saw the Scorpions in 2005 Alex, they were excellent.

the quality is horrid,but i am a big fan of the scorps,ive seen them 3 times and they are amazing.
first time in 1983 it was my second concert(aerosmith my first)
and what a live performance they put on.
and talk about a wall of sound..i had never seen that many speakers on a stage untill i seen van halen a year later.

Hi,

1st album (Lonesome Crow) ... neither here nor there for me.

2nd album (Fly to the Rainbow) ... still like it ... ahs some very nice long cuts in it.

3rd album (sorry ... don't remember title) ... was a total blow out with a great album cover that was banned in various places, and a different one had to be done for America. The album was hard, fast ... and not great for me, but it was noisy ... and could only really be played ... LOUD.

After that, Scorpions became just another loud rock band, and while there were nice things here and there, they were not one of my favorite bands ... enjoyable stuff here and there and that live album is a massive blow out ... but so were many other albums by others.

Actually, their third album was In Trance, but their fourth was one of those banned and/or changed:  Virgin Killers.  The most well known album that had a revised cover is my favorite:  Love Drive (their 7th album).
