"MTV Unplugged" also includes something which fans will easily be able to enjoy. During the band's performance of "Wind of Change," the Scorpions are joined by a unlikely special guest, Morten Harket of the band A-Ha, who trades off with Meine on the verses and joins in during the chorus to create some enjoyable vocal melodies. The band's rendition of "Big City Nights" stays incredibly true to the original recording, whereas the introduction to "Wind of Change" for a moment sounds like an old country radio song before Klaus' instantly recognizable singing style soars above the quiet acoustic strumming. The attending audience at this particular concert had a difficult time as well, thus inspiring Meine to toy with the crowd. "Blackout" is a strong example between Schenker's improvisational acoustic guitar riffs and the harmonic strums of the stringed section, at first you'll find it difficult to recognize which song it is you're listening to. While this addition may seem insignificant, it is this same addition which attributes new depth to heavily replayed favorites: so much depth that at times it puts a completely different spin on the entire song.
STING MTV UNPLUGGED RAR FULL
What separates "MTV Unplugged" from Scorpions live albums of the past, including 2001's "Acoustica" is that the band recruited a full stringed section for this one off performance in Athens.
While the news of another Scorpions live album may not sound too exciting to those established followers, as "MTV Unplugged" marks the band's sixth live release overall, you can trust when I say there are plenty of surprises waiting the listener after you first press play. In the meantime, what we have is a new live album, titled "MTV Unplugged - Live in Athens," which should be more than enough to appease the appetites of dedicated fans. While the band has showcased a large amount of talent throughout the years, including a unique lineup back during the group's formation which included guitar virtuoso Michael Schenker, Scorpions currently revolve around lead vocalist Klaus Meine, lead guitarist Rudolf Schenker, guitarist Matthias Jabs, Pawel Maciwoda on bass, and drummer James Kottak.Īfter releasing a staggering seventeen studio albums, Scorpions' embarked on a final farewell tour (which was thankfully later discarded), and with a new album of newly recorded material on the horizon it appears the best may be yet to come from this iconic rock group. Sound: Scorpions are responsible for a plethora of songs which are now widely considered classic rock staples.
