“You like Alice Cooper, you like Ringo Starr…” (Scorpions, ‘Speedy’s Coming,’ 1974)
Scorpions are best known in the US as 80s stadium rockers, but the band’s first L.P. was released way back in 1973. While I enjoy Scorpions’ over-the-top 80s anthems, I much prefer their harder-rocking 70s material.
Here’s an early Scorpions video featuring the German band playing “Speedy’s Coming” from 1974’s Fly To The Rainbow album.
