Blackout - Scorpions Guitar FC (RB3 Custom) HD Gameplay (Xbox 360)
5My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: The title track to the album of the same name from Scorpions. This is a semi fast paced metal tune with some tricky fretting at times but manages to be a fun time overall.
Song Facts:
Blackout is the eighth studio album by the German rock band Scorpions. It was released in 1982 by Harvest and Mercury Records.
In the US, the album was certified gold on 24 June 1982 and platinum on 8 March 1984 by RIAA. Rolling Stone ranked Blackout as 73rd on their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time" in 2017.
After losing his voice during the writing of the album, lead singer Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and was uncertain as to whether or not he would be able to record.
Demos of the material were recorded with singer Don Dokken from Dokken, a then-unknown band from Los Angeles.
However, none of those recordings are featured on the album and Dokken is only credited with backing vocals.
"Blackout" is the first song on the album and the title track.
