The year was 1984. The group, The Scorpions. They were German. They rocked hard. They had just released their 11th album titled Love at First Sting. It was a huge success. Me and my friend Brendon Rash enjoyed some good old headbanging music and The Scorpions didn't disappoint. The group was a little odd. Again, they were German. When they interviewed they were very hard to understand. They had funny names that you could read but you couldn't really pronounce them with any confidence that you were saying them right. Like the lead singer Klaus Meine. Or rhythm guitarist Rudolf Schenkehttp. How about the bass player Francis Buchholz. Get the picture? But one things for sure, they could shred some guitars. Love at First Sting had several hit songs on it including probably there best known song Rock you like a Hurricane. There was also Bad Boys Running Wild, Big City Nights and their heavy metal love/power ballad Still Loving You. Now all of you that have been reading these posts for awhile should remember back to when I was talking about the "Power Ballad". It was the love song that every rock band had to do. Still Loving You was and is still a great one. Makes you want to sing along, if only you knew what Klaus was saying. One verse says I'll fight, babe, I'll fight To win back your love again I'll win your love, I'll win your love Love, only love Can break down the wall someday I'll win your love, I'll win your love. All this builds toward the end of the song when Klaus declares he's still loving you. Who? I guess that special one in his life. But who are you still loving? A spouse? A girl or boy friend? Or is it a mystery person no one really knows you loved? Someone from your past that you once loved and now you start to realize you still do? Funny how things go sometimes. Enjoy this live version of 1984's Still Loving You.
