Henry Reviews Scorpions Blackout Album - Episode 1

Henry Reviews Scorpions Blackout Album - Episode 1

Henry reviews the legendary "Blackout" album, the 8th studio album by the hall of fame German rock band Scorpions.  Henry uses his story telling and unique perspective as a professional musician to give his take on each of the legendary tracks from this underrated platinum album from 1982!  We also go over some great stories from Henry's past related to the Scorpions.

After losing his voice during the writing of the album, lead singer Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and was uncertain as to whether or not he would be able to record.  Demos of the material were recorded with singer Don Dokken from Dokken, a then-unknown band from Los Angeles.  However, none of those recordings are featured on the album and Dokken is only credited with backing vocals.  Meine ended lead singer on all tracks with Don Dokken backing him up on several songs.

In Kerrang! issue 12, guitarist Rudolf Schenker said that he could not choose between his guitar solos on "China White" so the US and European releases differed in this detail.  Henry likes the American version of the guitar solo on that track better, but encourages you to listen to both!

A self-portrait of artist Gottfried Helnwein is featured on the cover of the album.  Schenker portrays this character in the epic "No One Like You" music video which was one of the highest rated MTV videos ever.
