Most people know the 80s lineup of Scorpions (Rock You Like a Hurricane, Winds of Change, etc.) but they were around in the 70s too. The main difference was lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who brought a virtuosic neoclassical style to the band. This song is one of my favourites, with a groovy feel and impressive guitar solo right in the intro.

Thanks! Have always loved their more popular tracks. Roth really changes the sound overall.
