BubbaVO Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Great band. Great guitar player. And despite the others' misgivings, I think the Scorps have the best album covers going. And this one is no worse than Live and Dangerous. ( he ducks)
ZR Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Rob, you are a scholar and a gentleman!Back then, rob heard I was a Scorps fan (or I found out where he was working and begged a lot!). Anyway, he sent me a backstage pass and a lot of pics of his rig and guitars. I still have them somewhere but not sure where. Hopefully, he or someone has files of them on their computer. I'll help out more if nothing can be found easily. Another HFC Scorpions shout out was when I was at a Scorps show way in the back. I call Steve Haynie and he gets me past security up to the good seats just in time for them to hit the stage! I still owe you beer or something for that!Whenever I see the Scorpions live they remind me of a traveling gypsy band. They just have a different stage presence and energy than most bands. Some bands try so hard to be tough or super sexy but, to me, the Scorpions just try to give it all they have and really rock the crowd. It's like they really just want everyone to have the greatest time rocking out. It could be considered somewhat campy to some but I think that's just who they are.
