Scorpions Drummer James Kottak Passes

[Weather Man]

Bummer, video didn't age well sadly.

James Kottak, passed away at the age of 61.

Forget what some might say but The Scorpions were the quintessential band of the 80's along with Priest, IMO.

Great band.
That's a loss at only 61 years of age.

 

[Roots-type]

Love some Scorpions.

RIP

I saw them in back to back weekends at the Cow Palace in 1988. Epic shows.

Is that the one Mr. T hosted?

 

[snakedoctor]

I saw him a couple years back, he was filling in for Kix

 

[Uncle Meat]

I'd never heard of the Scorpions until I joined the military and went overseas in '81. First time I heard anything by them was in a bar off base. Became a fan almost immediately. RIP James.

Animal Magnetism. Awesome album. RIP man.

 

[Fastback]

Blackout! Just put it in the CD player in the shop! One of the favorites.

 

[SHIFTYBUSINESS]

This is my favorite Scorpion's song. Uli John Roth's solo in the beginning is killer!!
