1982 was a great year for hard rock and metal. I was in a band called Fortress with Todd Morley we use to play the song No One Like You from this album. I also use to teach guitar to Angelique Sneeden in high school and she and I would jam alot of the songs from this album in the garage at her parents house. Todays musical RX is this solid hard rock record by germanys contribution to heavy metal history......Scorpions. Blackout is the eighth studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions, released in 1982 on EMI Germany Records and Mercury Records. After losing his voice during the writing of the album, lead vocalist Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and it was uncertain whether he would be able to record it. Demos of the material were recorded with Don Dokken as vocalist; however none of those recordings are featured on the album. Rudolf Schenker could not choose between his guitar solos on China White, so the US and European releases differed in this small detail. A self-portrait of artist Gottfried Helnwein[4] is featured on the cover of the album. Rudolf Schenker portrays this character in the No One Like You music video. Shirts with this album artwork on them are amongst the most popular Scorpions t-shirts. The RIAA certified Blackout Gold on June 24, 1982 and Platinum on March 8, 1984.
