This is an ace thread Shaun, I am definately going to crank some
Scorps tonight!

[SparkieD]

70's Scorpions is ALWAYS in heavy rotation here.

[binnie]

I really like their early 80s work too, they were pretty consistent.

In recent years, "Unbreakable" was a solid release, and the new album is growing on me....

Ditto!

The intro to "Hour 1" reminds me a little of Voivod.....

A local band I'm friends with , lucked out and are opening 5 Canadian dates for them. Lucky Bastiges....

[Coyote]

Is it just me, or did Klaus look a little bit like R.J. Dio back in the day?

[Mr Badguy]

A great collection of centre partings from the early days.

:D

[Hellraiser!!]

hahaha Klaus and Uli Roth had terrible teeth in the 70's!!!

The only stuff I don't really like is the late 90s stuff. Even then they had the odd tune which was listenable.

Their last couple of albums have been excellent though. Although I'm disappointed that their are no Klaus/Rudolph compositions on "Humanity-Hour 1" (having said that, I can't complain about the quality of the majority of the album..."Hour 1", "Humanity", "We Were Born To Fly", "321"...killer).

[rustoffa]

My mom threw my Lovedrive album away because of the pornographic cover. The guilt was just killing me, so I made up some shit about how the cover was fake....that it was like wax and not a real boob. She just glared and the guilt got worse.

Oh, I love their 80's stuff, too. I just like the 70's stuff with Uli better. Not that I don't like Mathias. He's awesome and a hell of a lot more pleasing to the eye back in the day...YOWZA!

Ha Ha!

I bought that on CD about 2 months ago, and the shop assistant that served me looked at me like I was Satan!

I just winked and licked my lips to add to his sense of moral outrage! He must have thought I was a kiddie fiddler!

[jharp84]

Listening to Humanity right now! Only 2nd spin! Good but not up to andrews(melodicrock 95% review yet!) Key word YET!! The best albums have to grow sometimes! Unlike CVH, when I heard 1984 for the first time, IT WAS IMMEDIATE!! Especially after all the covers on diver down, I knew they NAILED IT BIG TIME!! BAck to Scorps!! My fave of the last 10 years is Eye to Eye!!

[Dave's Bitch]

Sorting stuff out.Must say i have missed this place,the house of music the most

[ppg960]

Time to bring back an old Thread.
I thought this one was great. Since the Band is calling it quits, it's cool to look at the older videos they released. Lots of good stuff here!
