Scorpions-You Guys Still Got It!!!
by ChristianDrummer on 7/14/10Mud Island Amphitheatre - MemphisI must say I was impressed with all the bands on the bill. Rock Sugar did a great set and sounded amazing! Ratt did a great job as well! The Scorpions were amazing! I have been a fan of the Scorpions since Love at First Sting. I didn't understand the spitting. The bassist (I think) from Ratt and Rudolf would spit on the stage every so often. I didn't get it. Other than that, they kicked butt. This was my 12 yr. old son's first concert and his reaction was worth the price of the tickets. He is learning guitar and percussion ( I am a music teacher) and we got tickets pretty close to the stage on Matthias' side. He could see his fingers. We were at Mud Island and the only thing that I wish I could've changed was the fact that there were some hanging speakers behind Matthias that blocked our view of the drummer. Scorpions have a place in my heart as a great rock band with great guys and great music. Did I mention the Scorps are my son's favorite band? Thanks for all the music over the years!!!!!
