Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Any fans of The Scorpions out there? I personally think they are one of the best bands in the world having had such sublime guitarists as Michael and Rudolph Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and Matthias Jabs. Really considering seeing them in London in October as Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth will be with them, only toruble is after fees etc a ticket will be about 50 quid, ten times what I payed to see Metallica at The O2!

We were supposed to meet him in Buffalo but he quit the tour days before. Michael is an amazing player! Shame he had problems with drink/drugs last year, his playing looked awful especially at a UK festival as footage on YouTube shows... He has a new album out so hopefully hes straightened himself out, he's why I'm debating seeing the Scorps. That Dean signature guitar of his looks awsome.

Ronniedawg Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 An underated guitar hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 An underated guitar hero! I'm with you on that! I think the same applies to all the guitarists who have been in The Scorpions, most people probably havent heard of Uli Jon Roth but boy can he play!

DoubleNecker Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I wouldn't say the best German band, because they clearly aren't, BUT I do enjoy the song "Rock You Like A hurricane" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I listened to them a lot in the 80s, when I was looking to fill the Zeppelin void (not quite the same, of course, but they weren't quite a hair band either). Admittedly haven't listened to them in quite a while, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheZeppyWanderer Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've never seen them before, but will be putting that right fairly soon. As part of the 'Humanity World Tour 2008' the band heads to the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Sunday 19th of October. See you there Scorps, you made the list.
