It fluctuates between powerslave if eternity should fail and Empire. However I will vote for the one which Impressed me the most upon first listen being powerslave

Saw them in 2015 and 2017, amazing show both times although they are slowing down slightly, I’m 100% buying the tickets when they announce ta NA tour

I have been a huge Scorpions fan for the past 6 years or so when I first tried listening to hard rock and metal. The album is as good if not better today than it was back then. The entire run from Fly To The Rainbow - Love At First Sting including the 2 live albums is amazing. I'd say they have...

Oct 18th can’t come soon enough!
