James is still phenomenal on the Kingdom Come records. He is the coolest and best drummer alive today. He was the perfect replacement for Scorpions former drummer Herman Rarebell. - Ohio.

RIP JAMES....😢

[@ShaneHarrison-q4m]

I took lessons from him for 3 years before he left Louisville,Kentucky in 1986-87 and being under his wing helped mold my drumming skills for many years.

[@WWTormentor]

I met James two years ago at a MSG concert in Los angles. We talked for almost an hour and he took a pic with us. He is so down to earth. I only regret not getting his number!

@@thebrideoffrankenstein2415 Oh, c'mon. They're not "better", they're just different styles, James spiced up the Scorps in 1996.

Scorpions without James seems like something is missing on the show... anyone who saw him live knows what I'm talking about

Hola James!!!! Sabes, tú me enseñaste a querer la batería antes solo escuchaba tarros, pero cuando te escuché mi corazón casi se me salió por la boca, fue increíble y mi primer encuentro con un baterista fabuloso y admirar tu gran don con la batería, gracias. Cuídate mucho y espero tener el placer de escucharte nuevamente. Un gran abrazo

[@ronhoule3498]

@@shelios6650 well I a fucking drummer for 52 years and I still play I read James Kotak who I’ve seen with the Scorpions 9 times did have a drinking problem and missed a couple of shows because of it . What I do know is Kotak Fit in the Scorpions and he did put on a great show, but towards the end of his time with the band he started to look like he was putting too much into it but the guy from Motor Head is definitely not a fit although Micki is a hell of a fucking Drummer Oh well the show must go on take care

[@ronhoule3498]

Besides The last couple of times I saw scorpions they like they were pretty much done micki did His signature right solo
