SCORPION STING‘s repertoire does not just encompass the highlights of platinum albums such as „Love Drive“, „Blackout“ and „Love At First Sting“ – true classics of the „Tokyo Tapes“ era are also brought to new life. From the grand stadium ballads to the hardest tunes the Scorpions had to offer, SCORPION STING‘s five experienced musicians are able to live up to the expectations of a most critical rock audience.

This creative sound architect is not only able to make the ultrasonic styles of Matthias Jabs, Uli Jon Roth and Michael Schenker his own, he also meticulously recreates the specific sounds of the respective Scorpions songs.

Nothing is as fundamental to the core of the Scorpions sound like Rudolf Schenker‘s Flying V. Ralf is the master of the brute riffs emerging from this monster of a guitar and he also knows how to create a physical rock hurricane.

Dynamic drumming with the perfection of a Swiss clock. Lars goes for the ideal compromise between James Kottak‘s modern style and the impeccable precision of the classic Scorpions drummer Hermann Rarebell.
