      The early 80's stuff is my favorite....but after those 3 or albums - yeah, I agree with you on the 70's stuff. If people aren't sure, I always tell them to buy the "Best of the Scorpions" on RCA and then decide IF they want to pursue the 70's stuff. After I heard that collection of greatest hits (at that time), I then next bought "Virgin Killer" and went from there. Love "In Trance".....

    1 - Virgin Killer /2 - Taken By Force /3 - In Trance /4 - Animal Magnetism /5 - Fly to the Rainbow
    Fun fact about the song Virgin Killer. It started as a piss taking on Paul Stanley by Uli on a soundcheck. Kiss had just visited England for the very first time in early 76.

  • @jahjah67
    @jahjah67 5 місяців тому +1

    Our local radio station played Make It Real and The Zoo from Animal Magnetism during the Summer of 1980 and I happened to see them open for Ted Nugent on the Scream Dream tour. Def Leppard were the first act on the bill. I got all three albums after seeing that show and Animal Magnetism has been the one that gets the most listens after all the years. I’d say Blackout is the best Matthias record and In Trance is the best Uli record.

  • @fj5144

    @greenalishi222 Рік тому +3

    Enjoyable discussion. Thanks. Uli is just amazing. A sorcerer. Matthias an underdog but really shines. Both Uli and Matthias need Rudolf. The spine. The Malcom. He shapes the band. His ideas, riffs and playing are the structure of the Scorps. Uli is so awesome. But he needed the foil of Rudolfs simplicity. Matthias such cool harmony lines. Takin that Lizzy thing somewhere else. And Matthias is really tasty. Uli stops time. Rudolf is the band.
    Everything they did up to Love at First Sting Rocks. The live acoustic thing in Greece is the only thing I like after that. Love the Scorps

  • @ericdinse5047
    @ericdinse5047 Рік тому +1

    I'm from the Chicago area. UFO was big in the area & as a result the "Lovedrive" was their breakthrough (as far as Chicago was concerned). The local rock stations would play "Loving You Sunday Morning", "Lovedrive", & even "Another Piece of Meat" on a regular basis. Scorpions have a loyal fan base here.

    Live records are a easy out, they are basically greatest hits records. That being said
    #5 Tokyo Tapes Steamrock Fever Speedy's Coming and Top of the Bill
    #4 Animal Mag Couple real great Poppy songs here but still a few strange songs, Plus The Zoo is a classic
    #3 Love at First Sting, This is where they topped out perfect songs perfect recording and probably there best written and performed record
    #2 Blackout, The heaviest thing they ever did by far
    #1 Lovedrive, Bought it for the cover ( Original) kept it for the songs and my introduction to the band

  • @pvdguitars2951
    @pvdguitars2951 Рік тому +2

    Not a lot of bands have a perfect run of 5. From In Trance to Animal Magnetism, it doesn’t get much better. Only Maiden with their first 5 and Priest with the 5 from Sad wings did it equally magnificent.
    And that is also my top5:
    1. In Trance ( including the iconic album cover)
    2. Virgin Killer
    3. Taken by Force
    4. Lovedrive
    5. Animal Magnetism (in particular side B)
    And they were the coolest band back then, with their no taboo attitude (including the ‘shocking’ album covers).
    Hack got it so right, they lost a lot of their finesse after Uli left. But the 2 first with Matthias were amongst the best Heavy Metal releases in mainland Europe, and in many respects better than their American and English peers. Don’t forget, we’re talking 79/80, a period in music where everyone was like into punk and New Wave, and when NWOBHM was still an underground phenomenon.

    Its a Scorpions week this week with this one and the UK connection at the weekend - so I guess there's a spoiler here for Pete's Favourite picks on that and possiby even his wildcard?
    My Favourite Scorpions studio albums are
    1. Lovedrive
    2. Taken by Force
    3. Blackout
    4. Virgin Killer
    5. Animal Magnetism
    If I were to add in the live albums though Tokyo Tapes would be at no 1 and WorldWide Live at No 2.
    The first Scorps albums I bought were Lovedrive and Tokyo Tapes on the same day in May 79 then I saw them at the Reading Rock Festival and they became a favourite until that awful dip in quality during the 90's presaged in no small part by Savage Amusement. Incidentally the third Scorps album bought was Taken by Force in January 1980.
    I've also got that French AxeKiller 2 CD pack of In Trance and Virgin KIller - Fly to the Rainbow is split as bonus tracks on each disc so side 1 is after In Trance and Side 2 is after Virgin Killer. And presumably because its French, unfortunately they have THAT Virgin Killer cover that Pete briefly showed.

    Dude, RS's SLY solo is a stone cold classic. As a hard rock player, I can tell you there's an elusive soul in his licks. IMO. Is it really just about technique and precision against an ideal? Maybe?

      Hey thanks for watching. I did say I liked what he played and no it isn't all about technique. His note choice and melody was great but I would have preferred a better execution. I'm a guitar player as well which is why I mentioned it. Jimmy Page can get away with it but not RS lol.

    I never try to guess the motivation. Did the Scorps, or Metallica, go back in style to please the masses?
    Or did they just want to?
    Or maybe they were dying to go back there, but they made the Loads cuz thrash was dead at the time?
    The thing is, we'll never know. So I just choose to like it if it sounds good, and I don't try to analyze the motivation.

    Their last album was more like a comeback for me. I kind of lost interest with Savage Amusement. It sounded like hardrock/pop and the drum sound is horrible. Some of the songs was not so bad though. My favorite is probably Blackout

    That "in Trance" CD is expensive - you can only get it via import so it runs like $30 or more (yikes).

    Hack, you misnamed a Scorpions song. The song you mean is "Same Thrill" , not small thrill😂

    I bought a greatest hits of Scorps. It was the early stuff. One listen did not like it. Very different from Best of Ballads and Rockers.
