A brief history of The Scorpions



A brief history of The Scorpions

Unread postby finalstagemetal » February 7th, 2013, 7:54 pm

Hi guys,
A few days ago I created a video chronicling a brief history of The Scorpions, from the band's inception right through to Sting in the Tail. It's done in a power point type format with pictures to accompany the lecture.

You can check out the video here:
Watch on youtube.com


I've also done other videos looking at women in metal, black metal, the NWOBHM movement, Queensryche and Metallica's history, the pains of playing in a local band, etc.

Thanks for watching! :)

Excellent video and very well written. Professional and not too overly flattering of the band while still highlighting the important contributions to music made by the Scorpions. I really hope the band notices this video and asks you and that co-writer guy to do a band biography or something for them. Thanks for this finalstagemetal! Make more like it!

not like the 90% of the videos/documentaries that only speaks about the 1979-1990 period, well done!

Uhhhh... probably? Hey, can you blame me senora? ;) The Scorpions have been my favourite band since I was three years old. My friend just gave me an opportunity to help put together a tribute to them.

I'm shocked that out of over 200 views that only 9 ppl have posted their thoughts ..
So I assume that the majority of female fans saw ---
A BRIEF History
and thought the topic was about this .. :roll:

Why so school-like, Tom? :P But anyway, purely mathematically:
You get a lot of extra views from people who have already posted and check the new replies.
And mainly, what about the non-registered guests? Most of the time here it's something like "online now: 2 members and 35 guests". With such a ratio I'm not shocked at all about the number of replies.

Tooom.
Generally there are adults on this forum, everybody has a free willness to decide to reply or not to reply.
Yeah, don't be so schoollike.
Hey, and I love you, anyway. :)
Klaus-THE SPECIAL ONE,
Rudolf-THE WISE ONE,
Matthias-THE COOL ONE,
Pawe-THE SIMPLE ONE,
James-THE CRAZY ONE,
The Scorpions are THE NICEST GUYS.

Its no school like comment. :shock:
Its the facts .. :!:
For years people have posted here how disgusted they are with how poor the history of the band is , Its way to short and not even up to date as its 2013 now.
This now gives new fans the story from then to now
So here we have a guy bust his azz to do what hasn't been done and give us fans something that's been missing since 2005 or before. And its well done. :clap:
Its truly a compliment to the guy to simply log in and say thank you or great job .
Something you would expect from a family of spiders :roll:
But its true it may be guest just reading and not regular fans that are sociable with others like us . :wink:

Thanks a lot for your work you've donne,...
Its sometimes funny seeing some pictures and images to express what you're talking about,...
even nothing to do with Scorpions,... :lol:

And I have to confess that I start watching the video already yesterday,...ith a lack on time,...so a few of the views
are from me,... :lol: :lol:

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! I'm glad you enjoy the video. :)

A lot of work goes into making each one, so having people watch and discuss them is plenty of encouragement to make more.

Cheers!
