    I was in Sea Bright, NJ at The Peninsula House beach club where part of this video was shot. The brunette shooting pool in the beginning of the video took me upstairs to meet the band, and they couldn’t have been any cooler. They took pictures, signed autographs and drank beer and let me hang for an hour like I was one of the guys (even though I was merely a 17 year old fan). Some of the best guys and best memories of my life.

      It is nearly impossible to describe being on my 20's in the 80s and the SCORPS being my all time fav rockers. Saw them 3 times in Calif. Fresno, Oakland, and Orange co/Irvine. Seeing Klaus belt out awesome lyrics and Mattias smile and SHRED with Rudolf the best Rock Rhythm guitarist is like being on the best drug induced euphoria u can imagine. I am blessed beyond belief to be alive during the 80s. The memories, the girls, the drugs, the live concerts. I will never forget these highlife years. Long live rock and the SCORPS.

    Matthias and Rudolf have written some of the sexiest guitar riffs in the history of classic rock! Amazing duo.
    Another thing I like about their style is that their songs are full of those small, "mean" licks during the verses. Basically in every verse of the song you can hear some different new lick, and this applies to all of Scorps' songs! This adds so much to the songs. Amazing, simply amazing talent from these guys.
    Been a fan for years now, and I think I'm not that good with words to describe the feeling that overwhelms me when I hear some of my favorite songs by them.

    Fortunate to have been brought backstage, fed, given a pass, a drumstick, a guitar pic AND THEN driven in one of their two limos, with the band, back to the Sheraton Hotel in Harrisburg, PA following their City Island gig on this tour. I wore my ACCEPT tee from a recent tour and they all recognized me from the audience. Bob, the tour manager and I listened to The Alarm's "Declaration" and The Smiths' "The Smiths" on cassette before the after-party started. We had many Scorpions albums in the '70s and into the early '80s so this was quite a thrill. THANK YOU SCORPIONS!
