Scorpions in the 70s Is The Best 🤘🦂

Lyrics: Dark night, there is no light In the realm of the black magic man Soul's flight into the cold blight Of the destroyer's magic land Poor man, whose spirits are stronger They're the ones who will reign You're struggles are in vain Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire Keep on for the kingdom of light There is no darkness, there is no night

Can’t. Stop. Watching. Must watch at least ten times a day! Found this about a month ago. Was having a shit day, fighting with my husband. Found this, sent it to him (he was at work), and said “let’s make peace through metal.” We did! Thank you, Uli Jon Roth, for writing this song, recording this performance, and playing so damn effortlessly ❤️

I’m gonna reply to myself because there’s so much to say! I’ve watched/listened so many times… I love how here are five manly German guys, all in heels. I love how Herman Rarebell’s default is saying “F*ck! F*ck!” I love how Francis Buchholz always plays at the bridge of the bass with his mouth wide open. I love how Rudolph Schenker keeps impeccable time but is always dancing around, just about to fall. I love how Klaus Mein sounds! Small but mighty, he’s got the moves and always knows what to do with his hands. And Uli. So smooth, as if turquoise jewelry and bishop sleeves give him mystical powers. This is the best thing ever. This is neoclassical metal six years before Malmsteen. Suck it Yngwie!

This in my opinion is Scorpions in their prime. Before the commercial success of the early 1980s. Such an underrated band. A league of their own. Overlooked at the time by being put in a "Metal" category and overshadowed by bands like Black Sabbath and if you called them Hard rock then put on the back burner by titans like Led Zeppelin. Very unfair. Truly unique band that deserves much more credit.

@@brianh2787 Yea that was them at the perfect middle ground between late 60's/early 70's psychedelia and their later hard psych rock style. I went through all the albums of the Roth era and the only one that contained no skippable tracks was Lonesome Crow. At most I like half of any other album. That being said, there is at least one track that Lonesome can't touch and that is the Sails of Charon. Possibly the best rock solo I've ever heard.

Uli Jon Roth does NOT get the credit he deserves when we discuss the greats. It’s amazing to see where Uli took the guitar. No one was doing that at the time. Then he passed the torch to Yngwie who passed it to all the 80’s shredders.
