Shipping these particular scorpions gets expensive.

Scorps weren't the best 80s metal band, but they might have been the tightest.

not a big Scorpions fan but I'm always interested in how a band opens their show, works all that pent up energy etc.
So call me unimpressed then that the f***ing sound man didn't have the vocal fader up for the first few lines. Likely related to the cocaine that was telling him he was a f***ing genius.
Anyway, there are far worse hair bands.

Love the cutting edge video effects on this. "Rock You Like a Hurricane" was one of the first riffs I learned on guitar. I always sorta liked Scorpions but never bought any of their albums. I saw them at Monsters of Rock in 1988 at Alpine Valley and they put on such a great live performance, they won me over.

The first few minutes of the linked show motivated me to plug in the electric guitar, crank up the gain on my effects processor and practice some pick squeals.

"Rock You Like a Hurricane" was the first song I learned by watching it played on MTV. For that, Scorpions will always get my vote.
