[My Favorite Headache]

What a career....I will definitely check this tour out when it hits the states. A lot of people wrongly label The Scorpions as an 80s band...they formed in the 60s! Many many classic songs. It's just getting to that time I guess...the 60s and 70s bands are retiring and this decade will surely find the end to most 80s artists careers for good.

I feel a billion-dollar reunion tour coming in about 3 years.

Never heard of them — any good?

The Scorpions? Yikes. I am not familiar with them, and believe me, that’s odd. Have they had any semi-popular songs that played on radio that I would say, “Oh yeah, I’ve heard that before.”?

I lost interest in these guys YEARS ago.

When Uli Jon Roth left the band, they were finished as far as I’m concerned. They were a heavier band w/ a semi-stoner style when Roth was their lead guitarist. They played longer songs @ the time, too. He was replaced by Matthias Jabs, who is pretty good...but for some reason, their music switched to a more pop/made-for-radio/Top 40 style, I guess in order to draw more female fans & go after the big $$$. Yeah, it worked quite well for them, but I thought it sucked! They cut the length of their songs to w/in radio airplay length of 4 minutes or so, & wussed out completely, IMO.

Does anyone remember the ORIGINAL cover to their “Virgin Killer” album? The one w/ a little girl kneeling behind a broken pane of glass? I bought it @ an ol’ record store decades ago, but I heard that it was illegal in some places...is that true???

It thought their career ended in 1986.

After their last concert each scorpion plans to cross a river on the back of a frog.
