Coast To Coast

Instead of my usual vocal songs, I'm going with instrumental this time. I've recently stumbled across this song after not hearing it for a while, and I must say, it's intoxicating. the delicate smooth sensation is one like no other. It's a jam based song, but it does have the feeling of predetermined factors and ideas. The song starts out with a pair of distorted guitars, and shifts toward the fantastic with the addition of bass, drums, and later, a third guitar which brings the whole thing together. I posted a studio version here because I try and give the original, but I must say, the live versions are fantastic, and have that great messy feel to them. This song is the sixth studio album by Scorpions, Lovedrive, and it was released in 1979. This album marks entrance of the classic Scorpions feel that we know today, and this song in particular, is the feel that they kept going on later in their career.

No One Like You


This has to be my favorite Scorpions song of all time... The intro itself sends me into a rock n' roll coma, I have a thing for songs that go straight into a solo, but this is just the tops, the combination of the heavy drums and the high end guitar solo is just fantastic, and it really sets the stage for this fantastic song. To those of you who read this and decide not to listen to it, you're making perhaps the largest mistake you've ever made, for this song is a classic, and should not be forgotten. Written by the German metal band, Scorpions, this song was released on their eighth studio album, Blackout. Blackout was released in 1982, and this song reached number one on the US Billboards for rock tracks. This song was originally written in German, but I can't find the original anywhere, and, as a result of the translation, a lot of the song's meaning is lost, which is a little disappointing. But yeah! Great song, please listen.
