The Story of 'Love At First Sting'

[@olber289]

This album is a total masterpiece, one of the most important album of 80s !

[@greatunz67]

Matthias Jabs is the most underrated guitarist in hard rock history. The dude came up with so many classic intro riffs, he did for the 80's what Jimmy Page did for classic intro's in the early 70's.

[@TheTrooperMB]

even live this guy is incredible , saw them in 2018 and the solos were jawdropping

[@tomparompa3390]

Agree 100%

[@shanecohn3800]

Yep. And the dude never even gets a nod from anyone. It’s crazy!!

[@paulkcormier]

he is awful and they got most of their stuff from michael avia rudolf -he still cant play anything michael wrote and cant even begin t play the uli jon roth stuff -wake up rudolf is a helluva better player than jabs also soory i love scorps old stuff but jabs typical -1-4- 5 three chord blues player

[@TheTrooperMB]

@@paulkcormier are you serious , that is utter bullshit , matthias is a fucking insane guitar player live and in studio , get your ears checked

[@bobhalford]

Thank you to the Scorpions for making this documentary for the fans! I love it!

[@jakerodrocks]

I appreciate the documentary as well, but this came out in 2015...

[@tieukhavu8832]

⁠@@jakerodrocks I am also confused, why it wasn’t on KZbin later anymore.

[@bobhalford]

@@jakerodrocksWell that makes sense. I recall seeing a lot of album documentaries at one time in this format. But I must have forgotten watching it because I learned a lot of new things about this album.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

These guys are GIANTS!

[@eitanros]

I like Mathias's hidden bragging smile when he mentions that Bon Jovi were supporting the Scorpions 😊

[@Painkiller-b5f]

Best rock band of the world! Scorpions Forever 🦂

[@wayne3340]

I'm leaving you was always one of my favorite Scorp's songs. So positive sounding, yet a melancholy lyric. Very catchy hook.

[@somanag9117]

Still loving the Scorpions.💕 Simply the best.

[@christervainio]

This album is a Masterpiece ❤

[@metalllives]

No doubt this album had a monumental impact on everyone who loved great rock and roll in the 1980’s! So many great memories come to light when played again and again. 🎸❤️‍🔥🦂

[@gregsimmons694]

My first scorps album! God bless you! Jesus saves sinners!

[@baneverything5580]

MY MEMORY OF THEM: I went to visit with my sister in Texas and forgot I`d left tiny ganja plants in dixie cups in an area behind our home. I was in Dallas for about 6 weeks and met three legends but didn`t realize at the time...Darrell Abbott, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimmie Vaughan. When I returned to rural Louisiana Rock You Like A Hurricane had just been released and the cups had turned over and two of the plants rooted into the soil because of rains and were already nearly two feet tall! They provided smoke all year. I kept picking and drying only the tops and they kept growing more and more of them and getting bushier until the plants began producing tiny tops and leaves covered in sparkling crystals. It was so good. Some of the best I`ve ever had. It made me hallucinate at night and made me feel great. I was eventually able to harvest about 3 doobs per day of tiny spider tops covered in crystals and had discovered the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The next year I worked construction in Dallas and saw Pantera play clubs.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

You wrote the soundtrack to the best days of my life. I was also in a three man rock/metal band where we covered all your hits. Not an easy job for one guitarist/vocalist. Irrespective of whether you see it important or not, the Scorpions deserve entrance into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It’s long overdue.

Blackout and Love At First Sting are my favorite Scorp’s albums.

[@baneverything5580]

@@SuperWhitesnake1 Animal Magnetism is great too. I got it on cassette in 1985 while working in Dallas. Wore it out. Saw Pantera play live that year too.

[@MikeFiori-xy9hv]

Love At First Sting is a great album...really the moment the Scorpions truly arrived in the States. Coming Home is a gem. This tour was actually my first concert. Love it that they opened with Coming Home. Great hearing this story from the band themselves. Scores forever!

[@G_Machine_Joe]

Love At First Sting was the 80's for me. Everything about the music... the melodies, the rhythms, the lyrics. The ENERGY! I've had this album in every playlist I've ever made and still crank it often. Brings back a ton of memories.

I love you Scorpions!! I first saw you live on the Blackout tour with Girlsschool & Iron Maiden, I think it was. It was at the Heck Ed Pavilion (Seattle). I had just turned 20 years old. I remember being blown away by Herman's massive drum riser that raised up like 30 or 40 feet!! It was a great show! I also saw you in Bangkok every time you came. I love all your records, but my favorite is "Face The Heat." Killer riffs, tones and loved Herman's drumming and drum sound. Thanks for all the great music guys! Hope to see you again.

When my sister and her friends bought this album to our house I was sold. This was what make me fall in love with Heave Metal / Hard Rock.

This album is epic! I really like hearing the discussions about the inspirations, design, production, all that technical details Please if you could make more videos like this!!! I enjoy hearing, not just the music, but how the music was produced. I have always been around pro audio gear and worked the sound boards for live sound at churches and I have a home studio with synths for fooling around in, so I understand mostly what you're talking about, and videos like this are teaching me, inspiring me, and answering questions about how your music that I've adored for decades were made. ❤🦂🎼
