Biography

“While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was–and how much fun we were still having, in the process,” says SCORPIONS lead singer KLAUS MEINE about the band’s new album STING IN THE TAIL. “We want to end the SCORPIONS’ extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely gracious for ... Read more in Amazon's Scorpions Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Final shows of Uli Jon Roth Era Scorions - Superb 28 Oct 2001
By craig.mcdonald@virgin.net
Format:Audio CD
This album brought to a close the Uli Jon Roth (Ulrich Roth) era Scorions after which they changed tack slightly and went on to greater commercial success.
The album is dominated by Uli's magnificent guitar work and contains tracks from all of the previous four studio albums including the recently released, at the time, "Taken by Force".

Also thrown in for good measure are a couple of rock 'n' roll standards, a japanese folk song (given the scorpions treatment) and an early scorpions number - In search of the peace of mind.

If you are a fan of electric guitars , including feedback, wha-wah and tremelo arms then you will love this album. For those expecting, Wind of Change type melodic material, look elsewhere. This is an out and out guitar album like they don't make anymore and for devotees of the genre it is an essential purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the very best live albums ever produced in hard rock! 15 Mar 2002
By Leonidas Papadopoulos
Format:Audio CD
I'm not to go on bubbling over this.I'll be straight:if you want to hear what the Scorpions were playing in the 70's, meaning guitaristic-oriented hard rock, with really heavy riffs, astounding solos, melodies and songs bound to be considered classics for centuries and solos to be lessons for new guitarists, robust rythm section, vocals that make history, and all these delivered they way they do in Tokyo Tapes, amongst a warm audience, without studio processings, then buy this album.You will treasure it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Germans play Heavy Metal in English for Japanese. Superb! 21 Nov 2001
By Robert Alan Bryan
Format:Audio CD
Except for UFO's Strangers In the Night this was one of the better Live discs in the 70s. Yes, everyone worships Kiss-Alive but not me. This set (in and out of print over the last 20+ years) is a pretty raw bit. Only the Rock'n'Roll standards bit weaken it for me. Added bonus of rare b-side "Suspender Love" getting the Live Treatment really seals the deal. Dark Lady is killer. Polar Nights is not to be missed. Funny bits...The English is mostly phonetic and I misunderstood Klaus for years when he said certain things.
Buy It.
