    Better late than never lol! Getting around to seeing some of your older vids. Awesome man! The Scorpions are an enigma for me. What I mean is...I've loved them for over 40 yrs and I usually don't like my metal/hard rock bands playing balads, but damn nobody pulls them off like Scorps! Maybe it's not a ranking like you put it, but rather just your preferences, but I'd agree for the most part on that order....with a few exceptions. That I chalk up to when one is introduced to a band is usually more special. Whatever, we all like what we like and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Good stuff man! Cheers! 🤘🤘

      Most people telling me UJR years are best while I like those albums mostly I prefer the more commercial hard rock. I guess it's because what I grew up with and prefer as I'm a "hair metal" guy first lol. Which is also why I like ballads even tho I'm single and never relate to them haha but the Scorps did it better than almost everyone.

      Thank you I appreciate it! I think I'd go a s far as crazy world as their last great album. UJR and MJ def have different sounds but they are both classic guitarists. I prefer Jabs but you can't deny the complex sound of the mid 70s playing of UJR. Many prefer it actually.

      There are a lot of UJR era fans out there that prefer that era the most. I like it but prefer mostly the more poppier arena sound. I will say the 70s scorps era is them at their creative peak. In a sense that they had their own sound. TBF yes it is awesome!

You and I both don't get me wrong UJR is great and I like some songs like In Trance and We'll burn the sky among others, but they really found their sound and identity with Lovedrive from that point on it was their strength. Most on here disagree with it saying their original albums with UJR are better even had a few say Lonesome Crow was the best lol. RTF wasn't great but it was mostly old unreleased songs that's why and the new album is KILLER their best since Crazy World IMO it's a return to from and has a mix of lovedrive and amimal magnetism and black out like seventh song and shining of your soul great stuff.
