The best Scorpions song?

[Left Is Write]

[Swede]

1. For me it was always I'm Going Mad.

It was from the Lonesome Crow album.

Always Somewhere was my second choice.

2. Dark Lady, Virgin Killer, In Trance...

...Robot Man, Catch Your Train, Loving You Sunday Morning, Another Piece Of Meat, Holiday, Can't Live Without You, Still Loving You, Dynamite, Arizona, No One Like You, and of course the song that kicks The Zoo's ass and makes it run home crying like a baby:

China White.

7. Delete.

Wrong spot.

3. No One Like You

The original version on the album, not the live version. The great guitar lick that I love was not in the live version.

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. Anything from Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, or Blackout

Those three albums were the Scorps at their peak.

5. Yep

6. The "Lovedrive" version of "Coast To Coast" (sorry, Klaus)...

...yeah, yeah, I know...naming an instrumental as the "best" Scorps song probably isn't fair to Klaus Meine, but I'm sure he'll get over it. It's got Michael Schenker, dammit!

:rofl:

8. Can't remember the name of the song...

...or any of the words, or even if it has words, or even if it's a Scorpions song.

Guitar players, help me out here. It's kind of played in free time at the beginning. Starts with an open bass drone on the low E over which (an octave up) you sort of "fall off" of an A-Ab-E then go E-E-F, which F is held for four long beats at the end of which are three HUGE drum shots, at which point it starts over on the low E. This is played twice (I think) and then slow driving triplets are played up at the 7th fret, 5th and 6th strings, thus:

E-E-E-F-E-E, E-E-E-F-E-E, E-E-E-F-E-E, E-B-C-D-C-D, E-E-E-F-E-E, E-E-E-F-E-E

then longer two-string triplets F5-F5-F5-F5-F5-F5

then repeat the triplets part and the WHOLE thing starts over from the low droning E.

If this is a Scorpions song, then this song is to China White what China White is to The Zoo.

The video for that is one of the first metal vids I'd ever seen. :thumbs:
