[kj] OT scorpions split

[Peter Moltesen]

Shame - I still love their 1970s albums
Especially Tokyo Tapes and Taken by Force

Even if some of their album cover artwork 
was a little, erm, "ill advised". I've got a copy of
'Virgin Killer' with the banned sleeve - not sure if
I should dispose of it :o/
 
Lonesome Crow was a forgotten krautrock classic too

Don't know if it was a coincidence but they lost 
it when Uli Roth left IMO

Probably of little interest or relevance to anything or anyone I guess. 
Forget Winds of Change & all that bollocks but Tokyo Tapes & Animal
Magnetism firmly remain two of my all time fave albums from my youth -
especially the latter.
Ha - I've just remembered that my friend & I used to shove his CB speaker
out of his window & play air guitar to Steamrock Fever & Top of Ze Bill on
the roof of his parents house. (Who says youth is wasted on the young?)
What did surprise me was Klaus Mein & Rudolf the red nosed Schenker both
being 61 & the band was formed in 1965!
I guess it's always a little surprising when you hear that musicians you've
given little thought to for decades are old men now..

i go now.
