I look around and see this face What the hell have I lost my taste

Στις 29 Μαρτίου του 1982, οι Scorpions κυκλοφόρησαν το Blackout...
Κατά την διάρκεια των ηχογραφήσεων αυτού του όγδοου κατα σειρά δίσκου τους, ο τραγουδιστής, Klaus Meine, έχασε την φωνή του, και αναγκάστηκε να κάνει χειρουργική επέμβαση...
Αμέσως καλέσανε τον Don Dokken για να τον αντικαταστήσει, αλλά τελικά το πείσμα του Meine για να συνεχίσει -παρόλο που η κατάστασή του δεν ήταν και η καλύτερη-

Μια άλλη λεπτομέρεια, είναι ότι στο China White υπάρχει διαφορετικό solo στην Ευρωπαική έκδοση απο αυτή που κυκλοφόρησε στην Αμερική...

Ο δίσκος έφτασε μέχρι το No10 του Billboard200 και έγινε πλατινένιος

To track list είναι το εξής:

1. Blackout
2. Can't Live Without You
3. No One Like You
4. You Give Me All I Need
5. Now!
6. Dynamite
7. Arizona
8. China White
9. When the Smoke Is Going Down

Τώρα αν κάποιος/α δεν ξέρει την παρέα των Klaus Meine -φωνή- Mattias Jabs -κιθάρα, φωνή- Rudolf Schenker - κιθάρα- Francis Buchholz -μπάσο- και Herman Rarebell -τύμπανα- θα ρωτήσω με ποια πτήση ήρθε απο τον Άρη -όχι την ομάδα Kanthare, τον πλανήτη εννοώ... και ναι, είστε τόσο μεγάλη ομάδα, που έχετε και δικό σας πλανήτη ;) -

Για αυτούς που ακούν την κιθάρα με παραμόρφωση με ενα up tempo ρυθμό και παθαίνουν μια παράκρουση, -ναι AnD εσένα λέω...- ας μην ακούσουν το Blackout, Now, Dynamite ... τα υπόλοιπα... άνετα...

ΥΓ Για τους πολυπληθής που ρωτάνε με αγωνία ποια είναι τα αγαπημένα μου, θα τους απαντήσω πως εκτός τα China White και Arisona όλα τα άλλα είναι υπέροχα... αλλά το When the smoke is going down, με κράτησε πολλά βράδια συντροφιά όταν ήμουν νιάτο ακόμα και ερωτευόμουν κάθε τρεις και λίγο...οπότε, το ξεχωρίζω λίγο περισσότερο απο τα άλλα...

n'joy



I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

Don't want to find out
Just want to get out



You stand in front of the band
With all those scarves in your hands
I see you play imaginary Guitars
You people shaking your heads
Right till the end of the set
You really turn me on wherever we are

Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you
Can't live, can't live without you

Put your hands in the air
So I can see you are there
I wanna see all your lights shining on
Want you to stand up and dance
Gonna leave you no chance
To take a breath between each single song

Stand up and shout
We're ready to rock, we're ready to roll
Stand up and shout
Are you ready, are you ready
Come on and get it!



Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away



New love is blind
Why don't you see
You hurt me inside, you're killing me
It makes me sad all the time
To see you around with all these guys
My heart's in pain
I need you so
My love's the same
So please don't go

You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need

Let's try again
There's still romance
We'll start a new life, take a chance
There are so many ways
Please don't forget it anyday
My heart's in pain
I need you so
My love's the same
So please don't go



Like it played loud
Powerhouse sounds
My body wants to rock and let it out
Really high born
Morning till dawn
I'm going all the way just on and on
It's gonna be wild, it's gonna be wild
It's gonna be wild
Now!

Teach me to fly
Wanna stay high
I have to live it up before I die
Nightlife and booze
Girls to choose
Are you ready, baby, come on let's cruise
It's gonna be wild, it's gonna be wild
It's gonna be wild
Now!

Getting out of control
There's nothing that can bring me down
Nothing I'll leave out tonight
I'm feeling good, I'm living now!

Like it real hot
Never can't stop
I'm running down the line to the top
Never stay low
I'm on the go
No one holds me back
It's gonna be wild, it's gonna be wild
It's gonna be wild
Now!



Kick your ass to heaven
With rock'n roll tonight
I'll make this night a special one
Make you feel alright
Shoot my heat into your body
Give ya all my size
I'm gonna beat the beat tonight
It's time to break the ice

Dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite

Hit the top together
Get ya with my spell
I'm gonna make my shot tonight
Take you down to hell
Eat your meat until you're breathless
Twirl your hips around
I'm gonna break my neck tonight
I'll get you off the ground

Dynamite
You're dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite

Get it now or never
Let's get it really tight
We'll make this night a special one
Make us feel alright
Put your heat into my body
Give ya all my size
We gonna beat the beat tonight
Come on let's break the ice



Just when you make your way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
I've got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
