Matthias Jabs Biography

Matthias Jabs
Matthias Jabs
  • Born Oct. 25, 1955

Before joining the Scorpions, Jabs played for the bands Lady, Fargo and Deadlock. Jabs was hired to join the Scorpions upon the departure of lead guitarist Ulrich Roth in August 1978. According to the Scorpions wiki (under the Rise to fame and Commercial Success sections):\n', '

For the follow-up Taken by Force, RCA Records made a determined effort to promote the album in stores and on the radio. The album\'s single, "Steamrock Fever", was added to some of RCA\'s radio promotional records. Roth was not happy with the commercial direction the band was taking. Although he performed on the band\'s Japan tour, he departed to form his own band, Electric Sun, prior to the release of the resultant double live album Tokyo Tapes. Tokyo Tapes was released in the US and Europe six months after its Japanese release. By that time in mid 1978, after auditioning around 140 guitarists, Scorpions recruited guitarist Matthias Jabs.\n', '

Following the addition of Jabs, Scorpions left RCA for Mercury Records in the United States and Harvest/EMI Electrola worldwide to record their next album Lovedrive. Michael Schenker also returned to the group for a short period during the recordings for the album. This gave the band three guitarists (though Schenker\'s contribution to the final release was limited to only three songs). The result was Lovedrive, an album which some critics consider to be the pinnacle of their career. Containing such fan favourites as "Loving You Sunday Morning", "Always Somewhere", "Lovedrive", "Holiday" and the instrumental "Coast to Coast", it firmly cemented the \'Scorpions formula\' of hard rock songs mixed with melodic ballads.\n', '
