George, I have visited your site for a few years now and was happy to
see that you reviewed Accept. It also pleased me to see that you have enjoyed
their music as much as I have for the past few years!
In your Predator review I noticed that you expressed some concern
that Udo's voice might have been letting up with age. I believe that the
reason he does not sound as good on Predator is indeed the mix.
I have managed to buy his most recent solo albums and he still sounds unbelievable.
I'm not sure how interested you would be in listening to any of Udo's solo
material, but to this day he has put out some quality metal that sounds
like vintage Accept (at least I think so). I guess the purpose of this
email is to recommend to you one of his later albums from 2000 called Holy.
The mix on here is much better than Predator and his voice sounds
better than ever.

I am not Accept fan by any means (though I like some of their stuff)
so I won't comment on them much but I'd like to protest against your "Accept
are better than Scorpions" statement. I don't agree with this statement
at all. At first, Scorpions are much more diverse than Accept: they had
vintage hard rock sound, they had some prog rock influences in their music
in the 70s, they had Hendrix-styled solos (in the 70s too), they had even
jazzy elements. At second, Scorpions are a serious band while Accept perhaps
don't take their music seriously even theirselves. At third, there would
be no Accept if there were no Scorpions, and, Scorpions 1974 album Fly
To The Rainbow is a ground for any following German hard rock/heavy
metal band but the fact is that this Scorpions album is much more consistenent
than any album of any other German band. At fourth, you said that "Accept
have better melodies and cooler vocals than Scorpions" but Scorpions
have obviously better and not to mention more interesting melodies than
Accept, and, Klaus Meine has Heaven-like vocals while Udo Dirkschneider
has for sure decent but somehow repetitive vocals. At fifth, these two
bands are just in different leagues. Can you imagine Accept playing with
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich on the celebration
of the decade of The Fall Of Berlin Wall? I can not. But Scorpions did
it. They played on this celebration.
I have nothing against Accept and I like some of their stuff and even consider
Accept to be one of the best metal bands but Accept can be named a good
band while Scorpions are a great band. That''s the difference
[Special author note: funny
- most of these things are exactly the reasons why the Scorpions suck!
And Accept are so good exactly because they don't take their music
seriously. This music shouldn't be taken seriously. If I were to
see Accept playing with the Symphony Orchestra (which, technically, would
be perfectly possible, given the guitarists' classical influences), I'd
probably hang myself.]
