I saw the Scorpions at the very first 'Monsters Of Rock', which is still one of the biggest and most memorable gigs I have ever been to. I think they were pushing the 'Animal Magnetism' album at the time. I also saw them on the following 'Blackout' tour, but unfortunately that was the last time. Great live band

 

The others I haven't seen. Hybrid Ice would be cool, although I very much doubt that will ever happen

The guys in Hybrid Ice were some of the most talented musicians around. I used to see them when 95% of their set was covers (Styx, Queen, Kansas). They would always throw originals in even early on. It's pretty sad... but as they added more originals and lessened the amount of covers the attendance at their shows went down. They were such a GREAT cover band that people actually wanted to see them do covers.

Two Scorpions gigs for me -- first time was in '88 @ Giants Stadium in NJ (on the Van Halen's Monsters of Rock tour) and then again in early '91 at Nassau Coliseum in NY on the CRAZY WORLD tour. Killer shows both times.

 

The thing I remember most about the first gig was that whenever he talked to the crowd in between songs, Klaus Meine kept referring to us as "New York City" (i.e. "SCREAM FOR ME NEW YORK CITY-Y-Y-Y!") ... eventually I heard somebody yell back "You're in New JERSEY, you stupid f**king Kraut!" :rofl2:

 

Trixter and Great White opened the Nassau gig and the Scorps pretty much steamrolled over both of 'em. Simply a great, GREAT live band.

 

Had a chance to see'em on their "Farewell Tour" this past Summer @ the PNC Bank Arts Center but unfortunately life stuff got in the way.

Scorpions were the first band I ever saw back in 1980 on the Animal Magnetism tour with the brilliant Blackfoot as support, I remember getting stuck in traffic and arriving after Blackfoot had started, they were playing "On The Run" as we walked in.

Saw the Scorps also on the Blackout Tour in 1982, got my album and program signed by them the day after at HMV (I think). Missed the Love At First Sting tour (my disco days). Saw them at the Monsters Of Rock festival in 1986, on the Savage Amusement tour in 1988 and Crazy World tour in 1991??. Last time I saw them was 2 or 3 years ago with the legendary Ulrich Roth supporting and Michael Schenker making a very pointless special guest appearence.

Had a chance to see the Scorps this year in Sturgis and in Montana but had other stuff going on at the time so couldn't make it. I doubt they'll come through this way again unless they get bored in a few years.

 

I would of loved to see Shark Island back in their club days.

 

I remember back in 1989 Tora Tora, Dangerous Toys and LA Guns were touring together but I was to young to drive at the time and couldn't get anyone to take me to the show. I'm sure it would of been awesome.

Saw Scorpions supported by Winger on the 'Crazy World' tour, I think it was my first rock/metal gig. Great night, lots of classics and a really good show. My overriding memory was at the end of the track 'Crazy World', the band kept the audience singing the chorus for ages; I was standing next to this huge black guy and he was so in to it, singing along enthusiatically at the top of his voice and looking really happy. :drink:

Got to see the Scorpions on 3 different occassions: Love At First Sting, World Wide Live and Monsters Of Rock.

 

Love At First Sting Victory was one of the openers and I think Waysted was suppossed to be there too, but didn't show. Can't recall who played on the WWL show with them and at the "Hamsters" of Rock show Metallic, Kingdome Come, Dokken, Van Halen.

 

I remember during the Scorp's set at Monsters, Klaus got hit with a bottle during like the 3rd song. He told Seattle to "Fuck Off" and the band walked off and did not finish their set.

 

I would LOVE to see myself in Madonna, I mean, see Madonna. Looks like she puts out, I mean, outs on one hell of a show. I would rather see here show in a smaller than dome sized venue however, maybe in a few years she will be doing the casino shows...

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
