Scorpions - A Savage Crazy World

Starring:Scorpions
Studio: Mercury / Universal
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com

This time-capsule snapshot of '80s pop metal brings together live performances and videos that show how the Scorpions used to hit hard musically. It's unlikely this disc will win new fans, although longtime Scorpions fans will be sated; yet there's a nagging feeling this set skimps on more material. All of the German quintet's biggest and best videos are present--"Rhythm of Love," "Rock You Like a Hurricane," "Still Loving You," and "Wind of Change"--with four bonus videos--"Alien Nation," "Holiday," "No One Like You," and "I'm Leaving You." But the concert footage is alarmingly skimpy: 12 songs, 55 minutes; where's the rest of the performance? What's here is good, with a revved-up band playing in front of a home-turf crowd in Berlin in 1991, but the rest of the show is inexplicably missing. --Kevin Filipski

Not too old to scream...........2007-03-11

As a long time fan of Scorpions (since 1984) I was really looking forward to getting this DVD. Not only was I NOT disappointed, I was also finding myself so excited by the fantastic concert footage, I thought I was going to scream. I am an older adult but found I wanted to squeal like a young girl watching these guys in their element; LIVE. They are one of the few rock bands who feed off the frenzied excitement and adoration of their audience and give a performance that is out of this SAVAGE CRAZY WORLD. Their music videos are enjoyable because you can see they had so much fun making them. But as a skilled LIVE band, not many groups can come close to the powerful performances of The Scorpions in front of their fans. If you are or are not a Scorps fan, you will enjoy our favorite boys from Germany bringing all they've got to us; to entertain, enlighten, and energize. UP THE SCORPS!

Good but not impressive........2005-08-02

I am a big fan of old school heavy metal. I listen and collect different dvd's and cd's of different bands like mettalica, pantera, iron maiden,judas priest, black sabbath, led Zep to name a few and Scorpions is one of them. Having recently bought and watched this DVD, I have to say that whoever produced this material is NOT a fan of the Scorpions. If it were up to me, I would make the live material a real concert event, without the cuts and without the gaps. I would make it a point that the person watching it feels like he is really in a scorpions concert. I have seen the scorpions live 4 times over the years and i know that they play their best songs all the time. So being a fan, I say this DVD deserves a better deal.The videos are okay though, but I prefer watching them live.

Useless............2004-04-02

I bought 3 copies of this and they've all paused on my DVD player. I bought one copy after another, thinking this was just 1 or 2 faulty DVDs. But they've all done this! So then I spent money having my DVD player cleaned and "fixed", only to find that they still wouldn't play right! I give up! What is the use of having a DVD if it's not going to play right? Quality wise, these videos aren't much better than the original videos.

Two hidden videos..........2004-02-22

This is not the greatest DVD release, but being a big scorpions fan, I'm still glad I got it and have watched it several times. The greatest scorpions DVD by far (I have them all) is Acoustica, the Scorpions version of unplugged in Dolby Digital 5.1, with an un-believable cover of dust in the wind by Kansas, plus 20 other songs. Acoustica was never released in North America for some un-known crazy reason. My copy came from Germany.

The 2 hidden videos-To get to "Big City Nights", from main menu select special features, then with dolby digital 2.0 highlighted, press the left arrow button twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video. To get to "No One Like You", from main menu select Live, then next to highlight track 7, then hit the left arrow twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video.

best music but old tehnical sound (dolby 2.0).......2003-11-29

Scorpions are always good in live, so this dvd is original scorpions dvd.The penalty is about the recording tech of sound.
It must be released again in dolby digital sound or DTS.If someone want to see only the live without care about tech...
...then my personal recommended is 5 star at least.
