ACCEPT VS. THE SCORPIONS: GERMAN METAL SHOWDOWN! CAPS ON! METAL RULES!

[greg2112]

Scorpions of course. On a whole other level than Accept, a middle-tier metal band.

 

You just broke my "METAL HEART!" LOL!

 

HA! I like "Fast as a Shark" as much as anyone but theyre just not an elite band, imho.

[Xanadoood]

Accept had more balls, no pun intended. Much more Metal. The Scorpions had a great run of albums though. I like them both for different reasons. Accept was more pure Metal. No bullshit type of band. The scorps experimented more.

Well stated! I've been listening to the RCA Scorpions stuff this weekend. It's amazing stuff but yes, Accept is real metal. Perhaps a bad comparison at the end of the day, but I will take Accept anyday.

 

Best band to come out of Germany period.

 

Just put on "Breaker."

ACCEPT!

Man this is a hard one. The Scorps had the most big hits (to my ear anyway), Accept had the single best song of all 3 groups (Balls to the Wall man!!!) and Helloween had the single best album (Keeper of the 7 Keys Part 1. although Keeper of the 7 Keys Part 2 is not far behind and far from bad).

 

My vote goes to (1) Accept, (2) Helloween (3) The Scorps. Not a knock on The Scrps - a wonderful group, just a little behind the other 2.

[Xanadoood]

Also, The Scorps career was identical to Judas Priest.. Cool, experimental 70s stuff, and then they got shittier as the 80s went on. They sound like a different in the 70s.

spot-on. only difference is scorps never redeemed themselves later on

[RUSHHEAD666]

Yo! I just left you a "Balls To The Wall" Accept homage in the "Wet Dream Theater" Thread!

 

After "Savage Amusement" it was over for me.

 

"Tease Me Please Me." "Crazy World" is shit.

 

 

I will take "Russian Roulette" by ACCEPT any day! It's better than "Metal Heart!"

AWESOME! YOU ROCK!!!

[RUSHHEAD666]

"BREAKER" is one of the greatest HEAVY METAL ALBUMS in the world!!

 

Everyone of you Heavy Metalists should have this album in your library!

 

Get it now if you don't!

 

YOU "SON OF A BITCH!!"

 

"RUN IF YOU CAN!!!"

[RUSHHEAD666]

ACCEPT > SCORPIONS

[Lucas]

Love both bands, but nothing Accept ever did comes close to Lovedrive

 

I wish Michael Schenker would have stayed in the Scorpions after he recorded Lovedrive

 

Holiday, Another Piece Of Meat, Lovedrive, Loving You Sunday Morning and Always Somewhere are all total classics

[Lucas]

.. and how could I forget Coast To Coast ??

 

awesome

awesome

 

You make it very hard to argue.

 

"Lovedrive" VS "Breaker"

 

I'm "BURNING" baby!

 

I am taking "BREAKER!"

 

Both with epic album covers too!!

 

The UK/GERMAN/JAPAN cover with the bubble gum on the woman's breast does take the cake, I mean Bubble YUM!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Bazooka Bubble Gum!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Sexual metaphors rule at night.

 

 

That chick is "Bubblicious" "Watermelon" flavor. Right?

[RUSHHEAD666]

Honeydew perhaps?

 

I'm in "Xanadu" man.

[RUSHHEAD666]

I'm fukking "Head Over Heels"

 

Love

 

ACCEPT

[RUSHHEAD666]

"Dogs On Leads"

[RUSHHEAD666]

The "Lovedrive" cover reminds me of Rick Springfield's album "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet!" LOL!

[Lucas]

I would take Schenker over Roth.

Easily.

Scorps. Period.

 

Accept is cool, but the Scorpions was the first metal band I cared about. Part of my growing up.
