This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!
New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

| 1984 love at first sting tour. one of the loudest metal gigs i've been to. this tour
was to launch the scorps to global success but they didn't have the new ablum
released by the time they started the world tour in the uk. in the days before mass
media exposure through channels like mtv the only chance to see bands was to go to
thier shows. radio and the music press was all we had. however, it made the gig going
experience that much more special. i was totally in awe when the band came on and
their 2 odd hour set went by in a flash. this was the scorpions at their peak before
they stared went crap in pursuit of the dreaded power ballad.

| Saw them three times in 1980, in March (I think), at Donnington in August and back at
the Apollo in October with Blackfoot supporting. They were at their peak during this
time with the 'Animal Magnetism' and 'Dummy' tours and were a class act. Haven't seen
them since although I nearly went to see them last year when they were over here in
Dubai but what's the point of trying to kid yourself that they'll ever be as good as
when you were a fanatical youth.

| Tried to get backstage in 1980; got flung oot by some Hairy German Biker B*****s.
Magic metal band. Great riffs. Rudolf Schenker "The Riffmeister". Saw them
again at the SECC with Priest this year. Amazing! Auld men have nae right to rock as
hard as that. What have they been doing for the last 25 years? What a waste. New
album & act is back up there with the '79/80 classics.
