Scorpions at Charter One

June 30, 2012 by A.S. Van Dorston

Scorpions at Charter One last night veered between great and horrible. I wouldn’t mind their trio of power ballads early in the set if they would have just gotten on with it and cranked out more of the good songs. But they lingered way too much on their sucky post-1984 hair metal era, and felt compelled to f around with grandstanding on every single song, unaware that a thunderstorm was fast approaching. They finally realized they’d have to shut it down, and played “No One Like You” and “Rock You Like A Hurricane” with some awesome lightning overhead. Sayonara Scorps. You all looked great and had amazing energy for 63+ yo geezers, but should have been prouder of your legacy of 70s albums that totally shaped modern metal. Did you know drummer James Kottak has 3 kids with Tommy Lee’s younger sister?
