The Scorps are one of my favorite bands, but I couldn’t get into this DVD, because I kept getting distracted by bad, choppy editing. If someone is playing a guitar solo, show it. Don’t flash to a hundred other things in quick succession. They must have recorded this over a couple nights, because the drummer’s shirt miraculously changes from one cut to another while he’s playing a song.
I actually didn’t recognize the drummer, but from the bonus material, I found out that he’s an American. I think he’s the first American in the band.
The bonus material was a little boring in the beginning, but I eventually got into it, and it was pretty informative. It seems like Rudolph was the driving force behind the band. In the beginning, he was their manager and also had a strong, ambitions vision of making the band world famous. I liked his positive attitude, too. He said things like “everything is possible” and “don’t stop at the top.”
Also, the band’s friendship is really impressive. When they were in the process of making Blackout, Klaus lost his voice and the doctor told him to quit singing and pursue a different career. What a blow that must have been. But the band stood by him, and were supportive. And, of course Klaus was able to work his way back to singing with the help of some top doctors.
Interesting bit of trivia – they wrote Winds of Change before the Wall came down.
