Klaus Meine is the kind of frontman who makes a hard-rock band feel like a headline, not just a lineup. Hearing him in his prime, the sound hits like chrome in daylight: clean, sharp, and confident enough to be a little dangerous. Before Scorpions ever became a global stamp, he was already paying his dues in the local scene, including his time with the cover band Copernicus (before 1969). Then came the real chapter: Scorpions (1969–present), where he became the longtime singer and the band’s primary lyricist, the guy steering the drama with words while the guitars did the heavy lifting. On my turntable and in my notebook, Meine always reads like the same story told well: discipline, melody, and a voice built to carry a hook over a roaring room without begging for permission.
Scorpions - Virgin Killer ITaly 12" Vinyl LP Album
Virgin Killer is the fourth studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions. It was released in 1976 and was the first album of the band to attract attention outside Europe. The title is described as being a reference to time as the killer of innocence. The original cover featured a nude prepubescent girl, which stirred controversy in the U.K., U.S. and elsewhere. As a result, the album was re-issued with a different cover in some countries.
