- Longing for Fire - Animal Magnetism - China White - Don’t Stop at the Top - Love on the Run

The entire Uli era is a deepcut blessing.

Lots of great "deep cuts" for Scorpions! -Action - jazzy with a boogie section behind 16 yr. old Michael Schenker's ripping solo! -Drifting Sun - the first real taste of Uli's "Hendrix" fixation -Evening Wind - hauntingly beautiful -Catch Your Train - still one of my favorite Uli solos! -Yellow Raven - jazzy, mellow and atmospheric then ends with that heavy classical-like section -Your Light - makes me happy every time I hear it; I've never heard a more beautiful strat sound! -Always Somewhere (does this count as a deep cut?)...probably my all time favorite Scorpions ballad -Hold Me Tight - one of Klaus' most emotive yet heavy vocal performances -Now! - tears your head off! Such a great heavy sound on Dieter Dierks' production -As Soon As the Good Times Roll - great melody from Klaus on the bridge -Love On the Run - another great rocker; awesome solo bleeds into Klaus' harmonized vocal ....plus lots more!

Thanks again Pete and Martin for doing this list here are my top Scorpions deep cuts: - "Another piece of meat" - Lovedrive - 1979 - "Evening Wind" - In Trance - 1975 - "Yellow Raven" - Virgin Killers - 1976 - "China White" - Blackout - 1982 - "Don't make no promises" (Your body can't keep) - Animal Magnetism - 1980 - "Crossfire" - Love at first sting - 1984 - "Girl I'm leaving you" - Love at first sting - 1984 - "Love on the run" - Savage Amusement - 1988 - "Hit between the eyes" - Crazy World - 1990 - "No pain no gain" - Face the Heat - 1993 again this was hard but these are my favorites

Great band. I saw them live three times.Klaus and Mathias signed my SCORPIONS t-shirt :)

- They Need A Million (amazing acoustic intro, amazing melodies from Klaus) - Longing For Fire (with the two guitar solos in this one Uli really was years ahead in terms of phrasing) - Yellow Raven (Dark and beautiful at the same time) - The Riot Of Your Time (Dark but hypnotizing stuff) - Hit Between The Eyes (This one really shows what great HEAVY songwriting is about)

- Action (Lonesome Crow) - Speedys Coming (Fly To Rainbow) - Longing For Fire (In Trance) - Backstage Queen (Virgin Killer) - I've Got To Be Free (Taken By Force)

Catch Your Train is the ultimate Scorpions deep cut. And I LOVE Pete's Tokyo Tapes T shirt

Evening Wind for me (from In Trance), love that song. I also think Dark Lady needs mentioning (from In Trance). Glad you mentioned China White, excellent song. Great intro. It is slow like you said, but it's a pretty heavy riff. It would sound good live. But I can see how it would conflict with The Zoo since both are slow and heavy, although I wouldn't mind hearing both. Have to also mention Is There Anyone There and Coast to Coast from Lovedrive. Though Coast to Coast might have been on their live album, can't remember.

Scorpions Rule !!!! So many killer tunes, hard to choose... 1 Yellow Raven - Virgin Killers 2 Falling In Love - Animal Magnetism 3 When the Smoke is Going Down - Blackout 4 Evening Wind - In Trance 5 Fly People Fly - Fly to the Rainbow

My Top 10: - Born To Touch Your Feelings (Taken By Force) - Life's Like A River(In Trance) - Twentieth Century Man(Animal Magnestim) - Only A Man(Animal Magnestim) - Evening Wind(In Trance) - China White(Blackout) - Edge Of Time(Savage Amusement Demos - Demos of this album kicks ass) - Hit Between The Eyes (Crazy World) - Ship Of Fools (Face The Heat) - Humanity (Humanity - Hour I) HM: Fly To The Rainbow (Therion's cover of this song kicks ass as well), When The Smoke Is Going Down(Blackout), Coast to Coast(Lovedrive), Is There Anybody Out There(Lovedrive), The World We Used To Know(Return To Forever)

•Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep) My favourite from Scorpions, one of the very few Matthias Jabs songs. •In Your Park •Hour I •Lovedrive •Now •Crying Days •China White •I'm Leaving You •Wild Child •Arizona

Thank you guys for your Deep Cut Dive: Scorpions 🎤🎸🎵🥁

I always thought that was Rudolph on the Blackout cover.Learned something new today after 40 years of thinking different.

5) Hit Between The Eyes ~ Crazy World 4) Love On The Run ~ Savage Amusement 3) This Is My Song ~ Fly To The Rainbow 2) Evening Wind ~ In Trance 1) The Riot Of Your Time ~ Taken By Force

Life's Like a River, Is There Anybody There, Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Lady Starlight, and When the Smoke is Going Down come to mind.

Martin is great. I really enjoy these discussions. Thanks Pete.

Definitely going to check these out. I’ve mainly just heard the super popular 80s stuff because that what my dad had when I was a child.

Proof that the Scorpions are great: the hits were great, and the stuff that weren't hits were great also. Nothing bad by the band from 1972 to 1990. Who else can boast such a fantastic run?

1. Hey you 2. Now! 3. The Same Thrill 4. Media Overkill 5. Stone in my Shoe I figured most would pick from the early years so I went with some later choices

Dynamite, Arizona, China White, When The Smoke Is Going Down...that's right, side two of Blackout. Back in the day, my buddy got the lp, we listened to the whole album, never played the first side after that, didn't have to the radio played it.

Hey You,great underrated song

It was was a Matthews painting, Pete. According to Discogs, it was on a label called Heavy Metal Worldwide.

1) They Need A Million (from "Fly To The Rainbow" (1974)) 2) Life's Like A River (from "In Trance" (1975)) 3) Longing For Fire (from "In Trance" (1975)) 4) Catch Your Train (from "Virgin Killer" (1976)) 5) The Riot Of Your Time (from "Taken By Force" (1977)) 6) Only A Man (from "Animal Magnetism" (1980)) 7) Animal Magnetism (from "Animal Magnetism" (1980)) 8) Woman (from "Face The Heat" (1993)) 9) Wild Child (from "Pure Instinct" (1996)) 10) The Good Die Young (from "Sting In The Tail" (2010)) Couldn't restrict myself to 5 and there are actually a lot more Scorpions songs that I love and that are pretty much unknown to anyone but die hard Scorpions fans.

I don't have that many Scorpions albums, but "Love at First Sting" remains my favorite for sentimental reasons. It was my first real intro to the band. Still enjoy listening to it.

Your Light is about Jesus Christ - Uli has commented about that before - makes me smile! One of my favorites.

Hard to consider anything on Love At First Sting as a 'Deep Track' however Coming Home is one of those songs I can't get enough of and try to blow my speakers with.

1. Yellow Raven 2. Lonesome Crow 3. In Your Park 4. Crying Days 5. They Need A Million 6. Animal Magnetism 7. I'm Going Mad 8. Pictured Life 9. Evening Wind 10. Night Lights and... 11. Living and Dying

I'm Going Mad, Dark Lady, Longing for Fire, great list guys - how can you go wrong with the Scorps. Wicked shirt Pete!

The song "Far Away" from the Fly to the Rainbow album is very underrated, as is "New Generation" from the Unbreakable album.

1- In Your Park 2- Living and Dying 3- They Need a Million 4- Yellow Raven 5- I'm Goin Mad

You Light, Crossfire, Polar Nights, Blood Too Hot, New Generation, Arizona, All Night Long, Robot Man, I'm Leaving You

Scorpions- Deep Cuts Lonesome Crow- Leave Me In Trance- Evening Wind Taken by Force- Sails of Charon Lovedrive- Is There Anybody There? Love at First Sting- Crossfire Savage Amusement- Walking on the Edge Face the Heat- Unholy Alliance Unbreakable- Blood Too Hot Humanity Hour- 321 Return to Forever- When the Truth is a Lie

Another Top 5 Deep Cuts Drifting Sun (Fly To The Rainbow 1974) Living And Dying (In Trance 1975) Riot Of Your Time (Taken By Force 1977) Only A Man (Animal Magnetism 1980) I'm Leaving You (Love At First Sting 1984)

You are a great team :-) Nice to see a good vinyl collection, too

1. Action 2. This Is My Song 3. In Trance 4. Lady Starlight 5. We'll Burn The Sky

in no particular order: - he's a woman she's a man - alien nation - china white - don't believe her - falling in love - can't get enough - humanity - crossfire - when the smoke is going down - drive (cars cover) kinda cheatin' here but i only found out about it a year ago. it was a surprise but very well done.

Your Light - all day, every day

MARTIN, thank you for making me listen to CHINA WHITE after such a long time. :-) The song is even more relevant nowadays than it was back in the day: 'How long will it take till everybody will understand that we need to fill out hearts with love again?' Enough said!

Great show! Being an ardent Uli fan, I am partial to his songs and era, though that should be obvious by my screen name... My picks are: Drifting Sun Sun In My Hand Yellow Raven I've Got To Be Free China White I saw Scorpions open for Rainbow(with Riot as opener) in 1982 at Glens Falls Civic Center and they did not do China White. I think that they did Animal Magnetism and definitely The Zoo.

What a prolific writer Martin is! I don't use this term much, but OMG. I appreciated his in-depth analysis. He was a great partner for this episode, Pete!

Don't Stop at the Top Walking on the Edge Dynamite As Soon as the Good Times Roll Don't Believe Her 👍

In search of the peace of mind Drifting sun Living and dying Crying days Blue dream

Speedy’s Coming, Dynamite, I’m Leaving You (sorely underrated song!), Media Overkill, Crossfire, Top of the Bill.

5 Longing for Fire 4. Coast to Coast (did they play this live a lot?...am I cheating?) 3. Lady Starlight 2. To be with you in heaven 1. Lorelei

Their best material never gets played on the radio.

1) Lady Starlight 2) Arizona 3) Unholy Alliance 4) Ship Of Fools 5) Nightmare Avenue

Hit Between The Eyes Mind Like A Tree Don't Sop At The Top When The Smoke Is Going Down Hour 1

1. Arizona 2. Robot Man 3. I've Got to Be Free 4. Falling in Love 5. Lady Starlight

Can't stress enough - In Trance (1975) is almost all deep cut dive gold because it wasn't widely distributed in the USA. I recommend: In Trance, Dark Lady, Life's Like a River, Top of the Bill. Much different than Rock You Like a Hurricane, but if you call yourself a Scorpions fan, you've got to go back further and hear the Uli Jon Roth stuff as well. This album and Taken by Force are amazing.

Love at first sting is a very good album. 😀👍🤘🎸

You're Light is definitely my favorite deep cut and Uli Jon Roth jammed so much! It's also got some Christian leaning lyrics which does not deter my admiration at all.

I like the new logo. Cool!

Action.. this is my song... Sun in my hand.. yellow Raven... Suspender love

A few deeper cuts from both Uli Roth and Matthias Jabs eras 1 Virgin Killer 2 The Riot of Your Time 3 Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep) 4 Only A Man 5 I'm Leaving You 6 Crossfire. 7 Chinawhite 8 Media Overkill 9 Don't Stop At The Top 10 Kicks After Six 4

5. Arizona 4. Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep) 3. Born to Touch Your Feelings 2. China White 1. Falling in Love

Life's Like A River Crying Days Your Light Falling in Love Arizona Every Minute of the Day Alien Nation Maybe I Maybe You We were Born to Fly The Good Die Young

I am quite fond of Love At First Sting.......it is a classic from beginning to end! No fillers. A far better release than Savage Amusement.

I'm in agreement with Pete; I don't usually listen to much of their catalog after Savage Amusement - ....doesn't hold the same "magic" for me. My picks: 1. Animal Magnetism 2. As Soon As The Good Times Roll 3.We'll Burn The Sky 4. Longing For Fire 5. Crying Days.

in serch of the peace of mind - just beautiful - mindblowing on tokyo tapes - top of the bill - most underated riff ever and the first thing i ever learnt to play on guitar - it all depends - best dairy related rock song ever - cheese my dinner / cheese my beer / cheese my life - xlnt stuff lol - in trance - when the smoke is goin down

“In Your Park” from the Virgin Killer album = EPIC!

Virgin Killer is the best album artwork of all time.

We Were Born To Fly. Animal Magnetism. Don't Stop at the Top. New Generation. Coast To Coast.

Hi Pete and Martin. You guys selected 4 of my 5 deep tracks. I will give you 5 more. 1. Inheritance - Lonesome Crow 6. Dynamite or You Give Me All I Need - Blackout 2. Drifting Sun - Fly to the Rainbow 7. As Soon As The Good Times Roll or Crossfire - Love at First Sting 3. Catch the Train or Pictured Life - Virgin Killer Not deep Enough? 4. Coast to Coast or Can't Get Enough - Love Drive 5. Make it Real- Animal Magnetism

HELL YEAH Pete!! man! i'm so stoked that China White was a picked- that's my #1 deep cut but the funny thing it's always been SO popular with me and my friends here in Indiana from day one that from my point of view it's really kind of a hit. one thing is for sure-that track STILL kicks ass-love the riffs and the tone especially on the whole album, post Uli i think it's the best Scorps album by far!!!

Better to turn people onto the early catalog then the later years imo! 1. Falling in Love 2. Always Somewhere 3. The Riot of Your Time 4. Crying Days 5. Evening Wind

The eps. with Martin are great

My 5 deep cuts are : 1. Now ! (Blackout) 2. Lust or love (Crazy World) 3. Blood too hot (Unbreakable) 4. Love will keep us alive (Humanity Hour I) 5. No limit (Sting In The Tail)

1 Action 2 Drifting Sun 3 Sun in my Hand 4 Hell Cat 5 Arizona

agree with Pete in everything... «Hold me tight» is a great song

I agree that 2004’s Unbreakable album is excellent! A stand out song from that album is “Through My Eyes”

1. I'm Goin' Mad 2. Your Light 3. Lady Starlight 4. China White 5. As Soon as the Good Times Roll

Fly People Fly, Robot Man, Steamrock Fever, You Give Me All I Need, As Soon As The Good Times Roll

Hey Pete, I like the new Sea of Tranquility profile picture name artwork, hope that design is what might be on the proposed t-shirt.

Inheritance , Drifting Sun , Far Away , Top of the Bill , Evening Wind , Yellow Raven , Always Somewhere , Hold Me Tight , Only A Man , China White , Dynamite , Crossfire , Don't Stop At the Top

Chronologically: "Longing for Fire" from In Trance "Yellow Raven" from Virgin Killer "Suspender Love" from Taken By Force (2001 reissue) (I know this was on Tokyo Tapes, but it feels like a deep cut to me.) "Media Overkill" from Savage Amusement "Dreamers" from Unbreakable (Japanese bonus track) Thanks, guys! The only album that I really dislike from these guys is Eye II Eye (which I think is one of the worst albums by any band from that era). Edit after watching: I STILL thought that was Rudolf on Blackout!

Fly people fly . Classic

both of you & Eddie Trunk should do a show on jeopardy with just music categories. I wouldn't miss that one.

Is there anybody there from lovedrive- always loved the metal reggae feel of this - same with Priest's The Rage This is My Song from Fly to the Rainbow The Riot of your Time from Taken by Force Lady Starlight from Animal Magnetism MediaOverkill from Savage Amusement

You got some great ones here. I know some of their albums well, but need to dig deeper in their catalog: 1. I've Got to Be Free = 4.7/5 Has several nice features. I love the funky riff, the pace, the soloing 2 minutes in, and the catchiness of the lyrics. Seems like a bridge between their earlier "In Trance" work and the more popular stuff to come. I should listen to this whole album. 2. It All Depends = 3.5/5 Funk/Blues jamming song that I would never believe to be the Scorpions in a blind test. 3. Falling In Love = 3.6/5 Reminds me of other songs they did from the 80s, but this one doesn't grab a hold of me in the same way. Decent but unremarkable. 4. Longing For Fire = 4.5/5 This is one of my favorite Scorpions' albums. None of my friends knew about this album. This cut has a great upbeat shuffle, unique guitar solo, and harmony vocals. Great choice, Pete! 5. China White = 4.5/5 Slow thumping beat throughout but keeps your interest because it develops as it goes and has good vocals and several unique guitars riffs and solos that play against the steady beat. Good one, Martin! Apparently China White" was used as entrance music for the professional wrestling tag team The Skyscrapers in World Championship Wrestling. 6. Your Light = 4.8/5 The riffs aren't just an homage to Hendrix, they are some of the best riffing in that style I've ever heard, including Stevie Ray and Robin Trower! Love Klaus's singing - especially in the parts where he goes into a majestic higher register. 7. Don't Stop at The Top = 4.5/5 The opening lyric about the wind against your face goes perfectly with the feeling that the song gives me of riding in a car with the windows or top down. It has the sound that could have made it a successful single. It's only flaw might be its similarity to some other songs that were huge, but it's very enjoyable. My favorite part of the song is about 2:45 which leads into the solo. 8. Hold Me Tight = 4.7/5 Love the intro that mixes sounds that are almost industrial with their typical sounds. The vocals have an "animal" nature that the album title suggests but no suggesting sexual come-on like the Scorpions do sometimes; instead they have bitterness as Klaus talks about his love turning to hate and that his woman wants him out of her sight. A very different cut. 9. Blood Too Hot = 4.2/5 Great main riff. I like that the chorus is a little subdued rather than an anthemic shout that's fully upfront in the mix; just a little different touch. Around 3:20 it takes on an almost Judas Priest riff that's been slowed down with nice screaming. Almost as if they were going for a little Alice in Chains guitar sound as well. A nice departure. Love em or Leave Em has that sound as well (since that was your alternate, Martin, I'll comment on that too). That song is more commercial sounding that Blood Too Hot. 10. The Same Thrill = 4.5/5 The pace is all out burning rubber, ramps up into high gear with the drums going manic, then it puts on the brakes and you end with sounds that remind me of a Harley that's still being revved while its slowing down to a stop. It is a thrill.

Far Away In Your Park Living and Dying Coast to Coast You give me all I need

Really surprised and pleasantly so to see Martin pick up Don't Stop At The Top. Totally underrated great Dieter Dierks creation, he was following Mutt Lange yes, but the song is 100% Scorpions. Rudolf and Matthias really kicking ass and Klaus great melody.

Lady Starlight from Animal Magnetism

ROBOT MAN. Woooooo!!!!

1 they need a million 2 polar nights 3 lady starlight 4 wild child 5 the game of life

Far Away, Yellow Raven, Riot of Your Time, Drifting Sun, Living and Dying

Twentieth Century man (One of my Favorite Scorp songs of all time) Another piece of Meat China White ( Favorite song off this album from day one) Dark Lady (except its on Tokyo Tapes)

Great episode! Don't have 5 tracks, but I really love Inheritance!

1. Now! 2. Coming Home 3. Believe in Love 4. Still Loving You 5. Dynamite

Money and Fame from Crazy World, also title track from that album. Walking on the edge from Savage Amusement, Arizona from Blackout, Coast to Coast and Is there anyone there from Lovedrive. Just off the top of my head.

I'm Going Mad They Need a Million Crying Days Twentieth Century Man I'm Leaving You "China White" was played a total of four times on the "Blackout Tour" "The Same Thrill" was played a total of three times on the "Love At First Sting" tour.
