The Scorpions have rocked the United States like a “Hurricane” for many years,
and with hits like “Still Loving
You,” “No One Like You,” and “Tease Me, Please Me,” their whirlwind blew through
the east hitting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Columbus, Ohio this past weekend.
Along with Saturday evening’s swift performance, unfortunately came the pouring
rain, but fans didn’t waiver.
 These days the Scorpions
are supporting their most recent offering entitled Bad for Good: The Very Best
of the Scorpions, featuring two new tracks including the single “Cause I Love
You,” which has already made is mark at radio. As always their performance
showcased the entertaining on-stage antics of guitarists Rudolph Schenker, Matthias Jabs and bassist Ralph Rieckermann as their synchronized line-up tore
through solos and signature guitar riffs.
 Their
most recent addition, James Kottak (Kingdom Come, Warrant), who had joined the
band several years back, is certainly also worthy of mention from his highly
energetic solo performance to his stick twirling antics and many wardrobe
changes (a few of which enabled him to proudly display his patriotism). And
while vocalist Klaus Meine takes a lower key approach, from the whisper of
“Winds of Change” to the roar of “The Zoo” his distinct accent is unforgettable.
