Wow! What a fuckin' show!!! :rock:

RATT was great, Carlos is every bit the badass that Warren is, I really hope they can keep this lineup going for a while! It also gave me serious crossed-swords Charvel GAS! :doh:

The Scorpions were un-fucking-believable! Fantastic tones, phenomenal performance and all those great songs, they fucking ripped Tampa a new ass last night! The sold-out crowd of a little over 9,000 was going fucking apeshit the entire show, too, it was one of the highest-energy shows I've seen in years, EVERYBODY was singing along at the top of their lungs, and you couldn't have blasted the constant smiles off of the guys in the band with a hand grenade.

Matthias is SUCH an underrated player, IMO, his fucking fills are more epic than most guys' solos! Melodic, tasty shred at its absolute finest! I really dug the setlist, too. I wasn't expecting to hear Coast To Coast, Dynamite & Loving You Sunday Morning, all long-time favorites of mine, so they were a really cool surprise.

Anyway, here's a few crappy camera phone pics...

Who knows if this is really their "final" tour, but if you have the chance to catch them live, especially with RATT, do not miss it!
 
Sounds like what a great show should be, Glad that you were able to catch that!!! Im with ya as far as Matthias Jabs goes, hes always been a a top ten fave of mine...

Very cool!!! I was supposed to see them in Pittsburgh two weeks ago but was unable to go. The Scorps are perhaps the best "big stage" live band that I've ever seen (LAFS tour), and they absolutely owned VH when the Monsters of Rock tour hit the 'burgh back in '88.

Jabs is one of the most underrated players from the 80's...and definitely in my top 10 as well.

Definitely, man! The Scorpions have always been just a MACHINE live, and I can't believe how great Klaus still sounds at 62!

I can only hope they shoot a DVD for this tour. I can't imagine they wouldn't, though, it's (allegedly) their "final" tour!
 
They look like they just walked out of the Blue Oyster Bar. :D
 
They are out here on Aug. 4th....Should be killer!
 
Sheik, thanks for posting the pics.

The Scorps know how to put on a great show. I forgot my ear plugs (sitting nearly level with the PA stacks) and lost most of the midrange part of my hearing for the better part of a day afterwards. Luckily I got it back by the day of our next gig so I could hear my playing. I think my own performance was better just for seeing how much fun the Scorps appeared to have.

Yeah, they'd totally look cooler in baggy camouflage shorts & indecepherable death metal logo t-shirts.

I think that's why they're calling it quits. They got tired of playing in front of thousands, making millions and actually having hot women come to their shows. I hear they're going to re-form as a death metal band wearing ratty shorts & t-shirts and play to nothing but 200 sweaty guys a night. :thumbsup:

I remember reading somewhere that they were recording this for a DVD. I just cannot remember where.


I want to see them, but the cheapest seat is going for $90.00. I most likely will see them. My brother is going to pay for the tickets.

Now thats fucking funny! :lol: :LOL:
 
Klaus and RJD have/had that in common. They took care of their voices, and still sound good.

And Mathias is a great, tasteful player.

Wow... you certainly seem to have a... ummm... "fixation" with meat poles and gay bars, don't you?

Is there something you're attempting to come out and admit to us? :scared:
