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 the fact that we still have the same… Read more in Amazon's Scorpions Store

5.0 out of 5 stars In many ways better than Metallicas S/M!, August 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Moment of Glory (Audio CD)
I am hoping that the Scorpions release this on DVD/video because it was a spectacular melding of Rock music with orchestra. Far more successful than the Deep Purple or recent Moody Blues plus strings releases (both at the alber Hall). Although Metallica has the edge on arrangements with Kamen and shear size..(2cds) the Berliner Philharmoniker's performance is awe inspiring! Klaus' vocals cut through the arrangements better than James' growling with Metallica and the lead guitar riffs on Wind of Change and Still Loving You...are orgasmic and the tone with the orchestra elevates them to an ethereal level..if you are a scorpions fan ..what are you waiting for? the book is chocked full of cool photos and the bonus CD rom disc is FANTASTIC..with a Making of EPK and other goodies!! lots for the money...

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorpions go heavy classical!, December 29, 2003

This review is from: Moment of Glory (Audio CD)
I heard a cut from this album on the radio and it made the hairs on my arms stand up! Really powerful! There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking some hard rockin' music like this and putting some strings with it - it just gives you another reason to listen to some really great music! I've told so many people about this CD - they all agree it's excellent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Musically far better than metallica, September 3, 2000
This review is from: Moment of Glory (Audio CD)
Hey fans, i've been a scorpions and a metallica fan for quite a long time. therefore i should be objective in the case of comparing the two projects. if you like heavy stuff more, it's very likely that you will prefer metallica's record. it just contains more of it. the scorpions try to melt the orchestra and the band. that's why their arrangements leave more space for the virtuosity of the orchestra (which is considered to be among the world's 3 best). the scorpions themselves try to change their songs to adapt them to classical playing. overall, the scorpions record sounds more symphonic and technically far better. the deadly sting suite can't be topped by any of the metallica songs. some songs are too schmaltzy but yet perfectly arranged and played. on metallica's record i had the imagination that sometimes the orchestra destroyed the power of the songs. the scorpions on the other hand were able to find a perfect arrangement for most of the songs. hurricane 2000 really rocks and the soft songs really sound more romantic than ever before - try it!
