I did a fairly deep rewrite, expansion, re-edit of the last edition from nine years ago, including a whole new chapter for Rock Believer, featuring new interview footage with Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, plus some re-analysis and other outside press citations. Additionally, there are new different pictures.

Blackout at the Zoo!

No question that Scorpions, Germany’s loudest and proudest rock band ever, have done much for heavy metal over the years. Oddly, Martin Popoff’s done the only book on them, in which he looks at every song on every album the Teutonic tone-masters ever crafted, beginning with Lonesome Crow back in ‘72 through to the band’s stellar most recent album, Rock Believer.

“Speedy’s Coming,” “Dark Lady,” “Catch Your Train,” “Virgin Killer,” “Another Piece of Meat,” “Animal Magnetism,” “Lovedrive,” “Holiday,” “The Zoo,” “Blackout,” “No One Like You,” “Rock You Like a Hurricane, ” “Still Loving You,” “Wind of Change”... these are hits and deep album tracks built into the very fabric of heavy metal, and the stories of their makings are all here.

Come join Martin as he embarks on conversation and analysis with all of the principals and beyond, including Klaus Meine, Uli Jon Roth, Herman Rarebell, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, along with the likes of Ralph Rieckermann, Francis Buchholz and legendary manager David Krebs.
