I liked 80's Scorpions only.

I absolutely love the 70s albums from them with the Blackout album being a major changing point...and not for the better. The Uli Jon Roth years and the too few albums with Michael Schenker still get regular play at my place. In 2014 I saw both of those legendary guitarists within a few weeks of each other and both played a lot of early Scorpions material. It was the first time I've ever heard those songs live and loved every minute.
I saw the Scorpions on the Blackout tour and while waiting by the buses hoping for a glimpse of the band a short, brusque man with a crew cut forced his way between my buddy and I against the flow of the small crowd. When I gave him a "WTF" look I realized it was Udo Dirkschneider from Accept. They weren't playing there and I doubt many even knew who they were, but my friends and I did. When I said "Udo...?", he stopped, turned around and smiled, and was probably shocked that a few American kids knew who he was in 1982.
Ah yes Udo. The greatest unknown metal singer if all time. Recently bought a few solo lp's which blow away anything by the new Accept.
...doing classic Accept songs.
"Blackout" began my interest in Scorpions. Nice story about the Accept guy.
