Default Scorpions

Anyone here who likes the Scorpions? They are a really great band and they exist since the seventies already. I'm a big fan.
I am surprised how few fansites the Scorpions have. There's so much about Bon Jovi on the web and so little about the Scorps.

there are actually a lot of Scorpions fans here on this board, you'll find out soon enough with starting this thread
Me, I like them very much. I think for us Germans "Wind of Change" has this special meaning, everyone loves this song. But they have great other ones aswell

I saw them live 2 summers ago and they rocked(without absolutley)for a band at that age.Still I have betetr VCDs of their performances...however:GREA BAND and IN TRABNCE is one of my fve albums ever.

Actually, i think they were the heaviest band of the 70s!

I like them. I grew up listening to them. Some of their song are very good and Claus got an excellent voice. They don't have as many good songs as Jovi does though.

Your opinion vs. mine.

IMO Bon Jovi has one of the best song catalogues out there. Bon Jovi song catalogue is the reason I follow the band. That's why it's no wonder to me that Jovi is so much more popular than Scorps.

Now they are actually not even a good band except of their live shows.Their albums in the last 10 years have just detroyed an image they buit up and a hell lot of their fans didn't want to hear The Scorps anymore.

They surely have a lot of great great songs...still i don't consider them better than Bon Jovi even if they are one od the most innovative hard rock bands ever.

I can't even imagine who was listening to such heavy music as the SCorps in the 70s...it's un****in'belivable.

And Uli Jon Roth is a guitar legend...definetly...even Eddie covered him.

1st part. indeed, they sure have gone the cheesy way.

2nd part. their albums from seventies had NO FILLERS at all. Nothing but killer tunes. Tokyo Tapes & World Wide Live are close to best live albums released.

3rd part. ther must have been some people attached to it, since they did well back then. Comparing scorps against many successful artists from same era, scorps do sound bit different.

4th part. I think Uli was what "made" the scorps. He's quite unique and diverse.
