Uwe.....
That pick playing is a lawyer thing.
They naturally pick-pick-pick-pick-pick-pick-pick EVERYTHING !!! 
That Scorpions korina TBird is my fave bass you have. LOVE korina TBirds!!
Can I trade you my hot GF for it? She's nice but hates bass gear....
BTW....that live Scorpions clip....I can see why my pal Bobby Rondinelli was brought in to play the drums (uncredited) for the Scorpions album that gave them their biggest hits I'm a Scorpions fan but can see why they wanted a new drummer.
I feel honored, but it's a keeper!!!
IIWasn't that the one where Jimmy Bain played bass too? Not because Buchholz couldn't play, but because he was busy with the band's convoluted finances (later on a target of a tax fraud investigation that led to Buchholz being fired from the band, I believe they haven't spoken since). He was according to Bain even in the studio as Bain laid down some tracks and small-talked with him amiably.
Rarebell is generally regarded as a not very good drummer, I always wonder why, he doesn't really rub me the wrong way, he sounds a bit like Peter Criss to me, who was no Billy Cobham either, but good enough for Kiss. Rarebell was good enough for the Scorpions I guess. Most of the time. He was a good rhythm section with Buchholz (they still are, I only saw them recently playing with Michael Schenker).
Best Scorpions drummer ever was Jürgen Rosenthal in my percussive opinion who played on Fly to the Rainbow, then got drafted to the German army/Bundeswehr and later saw fame and fortune with Teutonic proggies Eloy (who poached him before he could return to the Scorpions). In the Rosenthal days, ze Scörps were basically still a (pimply!) prog band, closer to, say, Wishbone Ash than to their later Sturm & Drang all-out stadium rock (also well worth a listen for Buchholz' back then still busy and very melodic/introspective bass playing; Roth's soloing is of course already exquisite too):
Rondinelli, I've seen twice with Rainbow (that drum solo where he played with his hands ...), I probably preferred his drumming to Cozy Powell's extremely heavy-handed approach. Rondinelli is no feather on the drum skins either, but he grooves more than Cozy - a great character - did, who tended to sound machine-like (before machine-like drummers were en vogue as they now seem to be). Since then I've seen him with BÖC (he's technically a better drummer than Albert Bouchard, but Albert was irreplaceable in BÖC for his songwriting contribution) and Doro I believe, - and possibly with Black Sabbath (not sure whether that might not have been Powell at the concert I saw with Neil Murray and Tony Martin - we were admitted for free to the hall towards the end of the concert and basically only saw the encore at the time). Black Sabbath with Neil Murray (or Neil Murray with Black Sabbath) just looked plain weird as did Tony Martin who had great pipes, but not remotely a Sabbath image.
Rondinelli also played with Over the Rainbow (band fronted by JLT and made up of musicians from various Rainbow line-up plus Blackmore's German son Jürgen, they are supposed to be good) - are they still a going concern?
