The best Scorpionsalbum ever ...

Exactly 30 years ago today, on 03.11.1984, I was at the concert for the tour of this album, it occurred to me during the day. And in attack aufwallender nostalgia feelings I thought that that would be a good time, time to write a review for this album.

Love at First Sting appeared as long-awaited successor to the beginning of May 1984. Blackout advance the associated video to the then relevant charts formats (Formula 1) was Rock you like a Hurricane "released as a single, has been shown. Before the music a played role, you could be on the highly successful, albeit enjoying a bit sexist geratenen album cover photos of Helmut Newton, which the Scorpions again succeeded in collaboration with an internationally renowned artist ..

But a lurid covers this plate would not been necessary - even a white slip would have been enough, because what the black grooves hergaben, looked at the time of his peers in vain. The opener Bad Boys Running Wild "shows where to go. Pure hard rock and at least at the time the first side of the LP without a single breath, apart from the quiet early part of Coming Home from again. If the second page Although against the first a little off, but the presented level of the first five tracks is unlikely high that the weight is negligible, because with "Big City Nights" and "Still Loving You", two songs are still represented, which should develop into true evergreens Hanover. Only "As Soon As The Good Times Roll" in terms of quality falls back a little. Crossfire is due to his march rhythm also one of the most special pieces of this album.

Total Messrs Schenker, Meine, jabs, Rarebell and Buchholz have delivered with this album its Masterpiece on which they have worked three albums long. It is and remains the then unrivaled highlight of highlights of their non-poor career. Many of the songs are still perennial in the Live program (I've even been criticized on the one point or another, but the uniqueness of this album harm the never).
