tone-masters ever crafted from Lonesome Crow to Sting In The Tail,
and into Rock Believer— the stories of their making are all here,
drawing on the author's interviews with Meine, Roth, Rudolf Schenker, Rarebell,
Jabs, & manager David Krebs.
No question Scorpions, Germany's
loudest and proudest rock band ever, have been one of that country's most
successful musical exports. Taken by Force: Sixty Years of Scorpions
documents the band's career with analysis of every song on every album the
Teutonic tone-masters ever crafted. Beginning with Lonesome Crow back in
'72 through to the triumphant "retirement" album Sting In The Tail,
and into Rock Believer— the stories of their making are all here. Taken
by Force: Sixty Years of Scorpions draws on the authors interviews with
all of the principals and beyond, including Klaus Meine, Uli Jon Roth, Herman
Rarebell, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, along with the likes of legendary
manager David Krebs, Ralph Rieckermann and Francis Buchholz.
