Mickey Dee is a great drummer . He fits right in with them. I'm so glad they are still going. One of my favorite bands of all time.
I'm happy that Micky found life after Motorhead...Lemmy is looking down and smiling when Dee is onstage with the Scorps
Yeah that is a strange thing
As a Scorpions fan for almost four decades i’m proud to see Mikkey on drums.
Mathais, the great guitarist. I love him
Mathias is humble, love it!
Scorpions = best band ever. Thanks for all the music through the years.
It's great that with Mikkey playing in Scorpions, the band does a tribute to Lemmy and Motorhead at every show, much respect!!!
Mikkey dee is the most underrated drummer in metal by far. He is a damn monster on stage
Saw them play this week in Limassol Cyprus.
They were on fire.
Mikkey was awesome. Stunning drum solo.
you are talking about Jabs! .. he is the best !
I am happy for Mikkey. Such a great guy and drummer. Lemmy would be so proud of him.
Scorpions, one of the pillars of Rock n' Roll.. all respect for this unbelievable band
Скорпы одни из Королей. А ЭТИ....... - БОГИ.
I pray Scorpions through in Killed By Death live on tour with Mickey Dee.
One of the best bands ever to see live!. I know from experience!
true :) i see those guys 3 times and they was rock every time , and my opinion is still > World wide live is best live i ever hear quality from the sound are amazing
He misses lem so much …
I love the way he talks about his band member, friend, something like a family member
That is so much love from mikkey
Mikkey Dee excellent friend and excellent drummer.
This is such a perfect fit Scorpions and Mikkey Dee just makes so much sense
SCORPIONS MADE A WISE CHOICE......MR.DEE WILL DO PERFECT..........!!
No doubt, Mikey Dee is overqualified for that spot in Scorpions, a powerful drummer
@@metalheart80s Indeed, he was one of the rare King Diamond found as good enough from technical perspective.
I can't stop playing Lemmy Bass since he left the stage, hearing that sound and singing his great lyrics, it saves my soul every day : )
These guys are so successful and even more humble.
Love the Scorpions always.
Mikkey Dee in Scorpions sounds good. Is a new edition. Scorpions today sounds heavy sounds good. My respect. And congrats with Mikkey Dee!!!
Still Scorpion since 1984 when I was in my highschool days until now ,Scorpion forever❤❤❤
I've had the pleasure of meeting both of these guys 30 years ago. Met Mikkey Dee after he played a King Diamond show in Georgetown, D.C. and met Matthias Jabs (along with Klaus Meine) at an album release party on the 20th floor of the Trade Center in Boston, MA. Both of these happened in the same year of 1988. I miss those days!
perfect fit for the 🦂!
Tokyo Tapes...still one of the very best metal live album after all those years
Yup, that album is the perfect live album.
But there is one more live album that is over the top perfect sounding, despite all the studio editing afterwards, and that is KI⚡⚡ Alive.
One of the best live albums period.🤩😍
The scorpions has always been one of my favorite band, terrific legendary band as well and to add the best badass drummer in world Mikey Dee makes me love the scorpions even more. No disrespect to hurman or James but I gotta give credit where credit is due. They are looking and sounding fantastic more now than ever !!
Great drummer, awesome band the Scorpions and Lemmy is rock.
long live Motorhead!! And Scorpions!!!
The Scorps are touring....again, please, give me any date in California and I will make it there. I've seen most every major band play through the years, but I have yet to see the Scorpions. Now that we're all a bunch of old farts, I have a real sense of urgency. Thanks for still rocking the hell out of us!
I was at the show at MSG in NYC on 9/16/17. It was great!
Esse Mathias e simplesmente lindo!!!
Much love!
Glad it's working out....
All Americans talk about "grunge" in the 90s, but really the bigger thing the Scorps survived was punk in the 70s. Americans had never heard of Scorps back then, but look at how different that Roth-era music was from the likes of the Damned and the Pistols... Oh wait - you never heard of them either...
Michael Stephen thank god that punk died horrible genre
Yes, I agree it was awful, but you must admit it was a reaction to the over-bloated self-indulgent way rock had gone in the mid to late 70s. It gave rock the kick up the arse it needed and forced an injection of new life into it.
Great interview!
I watch this now twice.... I got wet eys! Scorpions and motoerhead... Crazy
oof! Matthias is so handsome, makes me drool just looking at him
But he’s German!
@@thomasedmundrichards it doesn't matter
unknown nymous oh it does Bruv
@@thomasedmundrichards nein
@@unknownnymous282 So you speak German?
Awwww🌹🌹🌹
Cool interview!
Tokyo tapes....my first album by Scorps was Fly to the Rainbow
Scorpions has managed to transform. 1970's Scorpions' sound is different from 1980's.
Eu estou conheçendo todos os músicos agora estou aprendendo os nomes de todos para que eu possa citar nos meus comentários,eu sou fã de Scorpions e em alguns Shows não podia acompanhar pois eu viajava para fazer Shows com Banda Happyman -pesqueira-pe e cantar as músicas que eu só tinha acesso nas Letras por revistas de músicas de instrumentos,AQUI no Brasil quando eu entoava uma música Scorpions a galera vibrava aqui todos sempre amaram muito scorpions,sou seguidora de Scorpions
You have such a profound impact on my career that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support and the love shown stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
I remember reading that the Alice and Chains guys were playing stuff like Slayer, Motorhead and Megadeth etc before they ever put out their own stuff.
Funny hearing Matthias talk about that change of direction in the late 90s. That was never a danger for Motörhead! xD
Two of the coolest European musicians you could ever meet.
Meet up in Luxenburg, first gig is in the States.
Pretty cool.
class people
Lemmy- "What?! Mickey is drumming for the Scorps now?! FUCK YEAH!!"
Eye to eye is a great album. Many great songs in there, it was good to change, change is the opposite of stagnation. I celebrate Eye to eye, A moment in a million years what a great song, skywriter, excellent, the song in german a great rocker, mind like a tree psicodelic wonder, the title song, gorgeous rythym and message, nah Mathias, you saying that to please the squared ear
Aleyah is the heaviest song. I mean, he was right it might be not the album that represents their musics, just like Helloween's Chameleon, but it's a good album overall.
Apaixonada por Mathias 🤩🤩🤩💕💕💕🇧🇷. Amo os 🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂. Gosto de você também Alice.😉
Still don’t believe Lemme is gone.
💌МАТТИАС,МИККИ!!!ПРИВЕТ СКОРПАМ!!!🤘🤘🤘💕
♥
Pilson wasn't in the Don Dokken lineup that had Mikey Dee and John Norum. The bass player was Peter Baltes.
Yes absolutely 1991'! Excellent lineup
That will be Helen Taylor, who ran the Motorheadbangers fan club
Mickey knows how to swing . Humble badd ass.
MICKY D!
Why Kottak left's Scorpions??
RIP LEMMY 😭💔🍻🚬💊🤘🤘
Nights with Alice Cooper, but no Alice Cooper . . . WHAT??????
Guess they just decided to call themselves that. But it got me confused as well.
I was turned on to mikkey dee when he was with king Diamond. My first reaction when I started “ them “ on the CD player was “ who the fuck is playing drums. Holy shit “ .. just a phenomenal drummer. And a pretty cool dude. Hope he does well with the scorpions 🦂. No way they keep up with him. Lol.
Mathias is right about EYE TO EYE album,was not scorpions, that's why Herman rarebell left scorpions because he stated : Rudolf and Mathias were experimenting with music and they are not delivered the sound of the band roots to the fans.
Good move mikkey and Scorps both...
🔖I thought I Recognize him, not by motorhead? But by his drumming day's with "KING DIAMOND?" in fact he's in one of King's videos.. "The family Ghost" video. Yup that's him.🤘😎
Mikkey Dee
ain't seen yous since Bad Magic @ Shiner. I know your busy but.... message me when you can. pretty please.
What an interesting view of how Grunge music intersected with mainstream heavy rock in the early 90s. Suddenly from guitar heroes there was a transition to "guitar anti heroes", such as Cobain and others. I think Mattias is right in that at its height in the late 80s hevay metal was overly produced, which probably led to a "back to basics" , raw and simple attitude which Grunge bands provided. Scorpions were so lucky that "Crazy world" at the very last minute (1990), before the loat decade of the 90s for Heavy metal bands. Had this album been released 2-3 years after i dought it qould have been that successful with the Seattle wave sweeping the rock industry. By itself, "Crazy world", apart of the ballads, is a very raw, basic and straight forward rock album.
Dokken ?
i'am happy micky join the party. but what I want to know is what is the real reason they kick Kottak out? It's break my heart that they threat kottak this way
Hey. Kottak has/had bad booze trouble. It was an amicable separation. No hard feelings from either of them. He decided to go to Antigua to Eric Claptons substance abuse clinic and while he was there he decided that Mikkey keep the job permanently.
@@caseycrosby867 thx for ur explanation
E2E is just gorgeous, it's a little shame the men themselves don't seem to appreciate it the way it deserves. yeah, it's a little out of typical r'n'roll bubble, but there's nothing wrong about it, it's packed with great songs, the band's performance is great, it was James' first album and he totally pulled that off, so.. I'd actually prefer to see them stand their ground and stop mocking E2E
I totally agree. I’m glad they went back to making music they love and they feel good about.. but there are some great songs on E2E and I’m glad they made it.
I like it a lot also
....still waiting for Alice...
Kinda shitty for James Kottak tho, the way they were sneaking Mikkey into the band during the while he (Kottak) was playing at night, not knowing his fate was sealed. Mikkey sounds like a grounded guy.
James was on the way out anyway - he couldn't hack it - all sorts of problems - just a matter of time...
hugolafhugolaf they gave kottak a huge time to think and recover from his alcohol problems.but he continue drinking and the band was in the middle of a tour so they need somebody to fills that spot while kottak get to normal. But was impossible and they decide to let him go amicable.
Your boss will replace your ass too without any guilt at all.
Come on Matthias, Eye To Eye is a good album. Priscilla, Skywriter, Aleyah, Freshly Squeezed, Yellow Butterfly, Du Bist So Schmutzig, Eye to Eye...Ooh I love that album
Sometimes i have dreams to night in my dream i se Shinning of your shoul end the band and my songs and i se casels and animals
Wata
Man
You are so wrong Mickey. According to Uli Roth the audience on Tokyo Tapes are not even from same concert. This is his words. “I did the playing on the album and there were no overdubs afterwords. We just left everything as it was, except for the audience clapping because we forgot to record the audience so we had no audience sound. I don’t know who’s idea it was in the studio. It wasn’t mine. There was this massive album Frampton Comes Alive album at the time, so somebody took the clapping from that recording and they put it on a loop. So suddenly, Sun Plaza hall becomes Stadium Rock. There is your dirty little insight and it’s a true story nobody will deny it. So the audience of Frampton Comes Alive is on Scorpions‘ Tokyo Tapes. We had a great audience but they weren’t recorded.”
when the fuk is the Rock and Roll hall of fame........going to induct this legendary band ???????
James kottak
I'm having a blackout baby...
Mickey is a such a great heavy metal drummer, and seems like a nice guy. To me, Kottak never fit very well to Scorpions, so I'm glad for the change.
M. D. would be a great Drummer for the Axel Rudi Pell Band .. a Pity that he "went" to Scorpions !
Yeah. Like Mikkey needed instruksjons how to play Scorpions. He can do that with one stick.
Scorpions is Mikkeys otium.
Hello,i am a french fan of the scorpions band,and i don' t understand for what matthias jabs speaking about crazy world(1990),face the heat(1993),eye 2 eye(1999) and don' t speaking about the album pure instinct of 1996,he to forget the pure instinct album,so this is an important album and thé 3rd album in the 90's of the scorpions ,i don' t understand the reason of what he speaking about crazy world ,face the heat and eye 2 eye,so pure instinct was better than eye 2 eye,because pure instinct have great some good titre for exemples:wild child,oh girl i wanna be with you,when you came into my life,you and i,she knocking at my door,but the best for you ,where the river flows,are you the one or the un-releases songs just on you or over the top,attention i love and i' m adore crazy world ,face the heat,but matthias jabs have reason about eye 2 eye this is an bad album and not an réal album of the scorpions,I am an big fan of scorpions for the 70's era,80's era and mid-90' s ,but i like the renctly album as return to forever or rock to bieliever
A life without the smell of JackCoke for Mikkey.
Eu preferia o James Kottak como baterista.
I'm sure that Matthias is morphing into Brian Johnson
Why the hell aren't the Scorps in the hall of fame. Judas Priest made it finally. There are so many bands and artists that aren't even rock and made it. I heard there is one guy that decides who gets in. Hey guy whos in charge. You are a big deuche. 2024 inductees should be Scorpions, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Bachman Turner Overdrive, & Molly Hatchet. God bless rock n roll!!!
@ 2:20 When she said 'Mustache & wig"? I had to laugh. I saw Scorpians this year and Mikkey's Hair was trimmed and styled better than I've seen on a Victoria Secrets super model. I can't say I know this for a fact, but if that guy ain't sporting a wig, then TROLLS come forth and serve me a social media beat down! But guy's in their 50's and up, don't have hair that thick and full, naturally. But hey, I'm not dissing on the guy. The hair looks fantastic. Just doesn't match the face. But so what! Better than being a que ball. I mean who wants to attend a head bangers ball to watch a speed metal band of Dr. Phil clones playing Master Of Puppets? That just ain't METAL!
You’ve written all that shit about his hair? Are you a gay?
Scorpions talking Motorhead in Alice Cooper's official channel... I'm going to sleep...
I am not gonna screw up the 666 thumbs up..
No compatability here. MD clearly doing the paycheck thing.
Never liked Kottak, way too extra.
TO MAT I KNOW YOU DONT LIKE HIM
HE IS GREAT YET KOTTAK BEATS HIM
Scorpions are terrible. Really bad
Their music is beautiful music
.
Come on Matthias, Eye To Eye is a good album. Priscilla, Skywriter, Aleyah, Freshly Squeezed, Yellow Butterfly, Du Bist So Schmutzig, Eye to Eye...Ooh I love that album
