I just absolutely love this song, the guitar work by Rudolf and Matthias just personifies the SCORPIONS sound to me. Best guitar intro since BAD BOYS RUNNING WILD in my opinion

It was a huge comeback for the band and an even larger tour, one of the largest grossing of 1985. The album is certified 3X Platinum and charted at number 4 in Japan, 5 in the UK, 17 in the US and 22 in Canada.

ON THIS DAY... October 28, 1977

QUEEN released NEWS OF THE WORLD, 48 years ago, today. Aside from the great music on this one, I’ve always loved the gatefold artwork by American Sci-Fi artist, Frank Kelly Freas. Even if you had never heard a song on this album, what teenager in 1977 could pass up buying this one after seeing the album artwork.

But then again, the songs were also killer...

WE WILL ROCK YOU – WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS – SHEER HEART ATTACK – ALL DEAD, ALL DEAD – SPREAD YOUR WINGS – FIGHT FROM THE INSIDE – GET DOWN, MAKE LOVE – SLEEPING ON THE SIDEWALK – WHO NEEDS YOU – IT’S LATE – MY MELANCHOLY BLUES

What a classic! NEWS OF THE WORLD would make it to number 3 on the Billboard album charts and to date has sold more than six million copies worldwide.

What’s your favorite track off of this beast?

ON THIS DAY... October 28, 1978

The made for TV Movie, KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK debuted on NBC. Rip, Rip... Rip and Destroy. It had a bad script and some cheesy acting but that concert sequence at the end was worth the watch. How about you, did you watch this one back in '78 when the television was a huge hunk of wooden furniture and the remote went Ka-chunk?
