A truly fantastic band! Well, not nearly as fantastic as Queen are, but still one of the best rock bands ever!
I really think you all should check their stuff out.
Are there any more Scorpions fans on QZ maybe?
I'm looking for bootleg videos and it seems I can't find much in the search engines.
I have their "Bad For Good" hits collection. It's an awesome CD and I recommend it to any fans of great 80s hard rock.
Btw... wasn't the lead singer for Scorpions at the Freddie Mercury Tribute? I think I saw him at the finale, but didn't perform any songs with Queen.
I'm not exactly a fan (anymore), but I'm still very sad that I don't have the money to go and see them on Sept. 5th in Helsinki. I've got some of their records and they make some great music, and would have been nice to see them live... oh well..
Never really liked them. Their old stuff is acceptable, but their 80's period is not realy my thing.
I was just discussing them with GH, and found they have some full concerts on their homepage: link
Under the video section, you can find 4 full concerts. I immediately realized that Queen should be doing the same stuff. They complain that most concerts are too low quality to officially release, so why not put them online. For free. They say they can't make money with them, so what would be the problem then? Well, I really like the scorpions for doint this.

I think I saw him too! But only in the finale, just like you.

You're right. Queen really should do that too!
I think we all should send a mail to QP and ask them to do that.
