“You never heard Elvis on the radio in Germany when I was growing up, but we still got to discover him. And like so many others, he bewitched me. This is my favourite Elvis record. And when he made his comeback in Las Vegas after being in the army that TV special was remarkable. He looked so cool in his black patent leather cat suit. What charisma....
“I love The Beatles, and this track made a big impression on me. The energy they had was incredible, and there was such an edge to this version. Much more than the Isley Brothers’ one. John Lennon’s voice was really rough, and I was determined to emulate this with the Mushrooms, my own band at the time. I used to go hoarse trying to do what Lennon ...
“I discovered The Whovery early on, and the Mushrooms used to cover some of their songs live. And this is my favourite. The combination of Roger Daltrey’s vocals and Pete Townshend’s guitar is brilliant. The Scorpions covered this in 1989 for our Rockers ‘N’ Ballads compilation, and when we appeared at The Prince’s Trust concert several years ago, ...
“I have always loved a big ballad, and this is one of the best. This song has such a distinctive melody that stays with you. Simon & Garfunkel followed in the footsteps of the Everley Brothers and this is a great example. We played at a peace show in Korea with Art Garfunkel a few years ago. That was an amazing event. The idea, though, was to bring...
“Rudy (Schenker) and I got to see The Kinksplay live in Hannover when this first came out. It was at a club called Mulleimer, which means ‘garbage can’ in German. What an education to see how they interacted with the audience, and when Dave Davis went into the riff for this song on his Flying V everyone went crazy. A fantastic landmark in rock hist...
“Rudy was always the big Stones fan, while I preferred the Beatles. But that’s not to say that I didn’t like the Stones as well. They were, and still are, a great band. And what a classic song this is. It was also the first single the band released which was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, so was a historic occasion.”
“Living in Germany, the whole idea of what California represented was just too far away. But this song brought it a lot closer. It gave us a taste of what it must have been like to be in the Californian sunshine during the 60s, and that meant a lot to young Germans like me.” “When I first heard the song the idea of ever going to California seemed r...
“I can’t come up with a list like this without putting in Hendrix. The first time I heard the song was in a stack of 10 singles put on the spindle of a record player. When it dropped into place and the needle hit, it turned my world upside down. This was so different to anything else I had ever heard. You don’t need me to tell you Hendrix was a gen...
“What a combination of talents. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker. It was an incredible mix of musical abilities. You can hear it all on this song. Maybe this is not one of their biggest songs, but it was the one that really turned me on to the band. Jack’s death in 2014 was such a big loss,” Klaus Meine, said.
“What Zeppelin always had which the Scorpions could never match was a great blues touch,. You can heat that on Whole Lotta Love. All of us in this band love Zeppelin, and were hugely influenced by them. Jimmy Page came to see the Scorpions at one of our shows at Hammersmith Odeon, and that was such a big buzz for us. Zeppelin did so much to create ...

Meine: Through the seventies I was singing every show like there was no tomorrow, always pushing so hard, until my vocal cords couldn’t take it any more.
