“Sails of Charon”, by Scorpions.

The central riff is fucking INVINCIBLE.

Scorpions - In Trance (Kaléidospop, 07/05/1977)

[metalsongoftheday]

Friday, November 18: Scorpions, “Robot Man”

In Trance was the record where the Scorpions began to define their sound, at least for the remainder of the ‘70s: their second album with Uli Jon Roth was more thoughtful in its approach and had a clearer sense of self.  There was still plenty of eccentricity on display, as Roth, Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine were still figuring out how to write songs, but “Robot Man” matched the group’s idiosyncrasies with a newfound force and propulsion even if they somehow couldn’t play it with the same energy live.  Meine sounded more confident at the mic, and the track as a whole careened with precision. The track, along with the rampaging “Dark Lady”, positioned In Trance as a new beginning for Scorpions and set them up for bigger things down the road.

Scorpions - Klaus Meine

[metalsongoftheday]

Monday, May 31: Scorpions, “We’ll Burn the Sky”

In hindsight, Taken by Force was a tentative first step towards more commercial avenues for Scorpions: Lovedrive would be their first wholesale attempt at cracking the American market, but the addition of Herman Rarebell on drums (brought in because he was more fluent in English) and tightened riffing and arrangements indicated that the band was ready to expand their breadth one album prior.  “We’ll Burn the Sky” was something of a bridge between two eras, maintaining the progressive eccentricity of the group’s previous material along with Uli Jon Roth’s fluid leads and eventual wife Monika Dannemann’s flowery lyrics (a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, whom Dannemann dated right before his passing) but adding a directness and economy thanks to Rudolf Schenker’s primary riff and Rarebell’s steady drumming.  Klaus Meine’s vocals were also not quite as wild, though they remained forceful and vivid, while Francis Buchholz actually flexed a bit with his basslines.  “We’ll Burn the Sky” was one of many cool Scorpions tracks from the Roth years, erring a bit more on the hard rock side and in a way presenting the band as something like a German version of Led Zeppelin, while also showing them beginning to work towards finding their own sound.
