\"Scorpions<\/a>With all the great Scorpions<\/em> music out there, I’m almost ashamed to admit that my entry point was Rock You Like A Hurricane<\/em>. Sure, that is a good song too but I tend to skip over that one most of the time.\u00a0 Maybe it is just a victim of being played to death. This album is full of great tracks and yes Rock You Like A\u00a0Hurricane <\/em> is one of them. It\u00a0was probably the right choice to introduce many young Americans to Scorpions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Do you remember the video for Big City Nights?<\/em> That was a great compliation of clips that romanticised life on tour. It was fun to watch. Oh wait, scroll down at watch it. Unfortunately, I suspect that life on the road is not so glamorous, but it still makes me wish I was a globe trotting rock star.<\/p>\n

I bought my copy of Love At First Sting<\/em> at the Woolworth’s on West State Plaza. That was back when Woolworth’s had a record section and West State Plaza had a Woolworth’s.\u00a0 I don’t know why I remember that. Perhaps is was because of the alternate cover.\u00a0 I guess some folks felt that the cover you see pictured here was a little too risqu\u00e9. So they issued a second version that just featured the band standing in front of a white back ground.<\/p>\n

It was cause for confusion for me as I looked at the two Scorpion albums that had the same name, same songs but different covers.\u00a0 I eventually convinced myself that they were in fact the same record on the inside. So I had to choose which cover I wanted. Hmmmm? How can you turn down side boob?<\/p>\n
