Line 90:
* [[Epic Rocking]]: Many long tracks on their first two albums, especially "Lonesome Crow" and "In Search of the Peace of Mind". The live versions of "We'll Burn the Sky" and "Fly to the Rainbow" are around ten minutes apiece. "China White", from ''Blackout''. ''Taken by Force'' ends with the 8-minute ballad "Born to Touch Your Feelings".
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: "Kami o Shinjiru" (lit. "Believe in God"), bonus track in ''Face the Heat'' - appropriately enough, in the Japanese edition only. Understandable, given the huge fanbase they have there.
** Note that the song is in English (except for the [[Title

* [[Long Runners]]: They've been around since 1965, and only now considered stopping.
Line 123:
* [[Rockstar Song]]: "Can't Live Without You". "Always Somewhere" provides another take, in which living on the road keeps the musician apart from his loved one.
* [[Sex Drugs and Rock N Roll]]: Well, minus the drugs. Very well illustrated in "Now!".
* [[Spell My Name With a "The"]]: Averted. The name's Scorpions only - no "The" in front.
