Few rock bands were as successful as the Scorpions by the mid ’80s – headlining arenas/stadiums worldwide, scoring two mega-selling albums (the platinum-certified Blackout and the triple-platinum certified Love At First Sting) and two hit singles/videos (“No One Like You” and “Rock You Like A Hurricane). But what quite a few newcomers to the band didn’t realize was that the Scorpions had been regularly recording music since 1972, and that throughout the remainder of the decade, featured two guitarists (Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth) at separate points that are considered legendary amongst the heavy metal masses.

And while such albums as Lonesome Crow, Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, Virgin Killer, Taken By Force, Tokyo Tapes, and Lovedrive did not come close to obtaining the commercial success of the aforementioned ’80s era efforts, they inspired and influenced countless renowned musicians.
