Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dr. Average	#1 by Dr. Funkinstein at Oct 12, 1974 at 8:33 AM EST
	meaning,who cares,now can we talk about that guitar solo!!!!! definitely one of the songs that has contributed to permanent ringing in my ears!! have a nice day

No Picture BeN-bEn Lead Player	#2 by BeN-bEn Lesniewski at Jul 16, 1977 at 12:01 PM EST
	3 comments? What the hell, this song rocks! Nepenthes is right definantly better than rock you like a hurricane though not by much.

No Picture Randy Lead Player	#3 by Randy Lott at Mar 29, 1997 at 4:44 PM EST
	This is the song that made me a Scorpions fan. "Rock You Like a Hurricane" might get more airplay, but "Big City Nights" by far is more engaging and addictive. Great lyrics/vocals, great guitars, great everything--and inspired by Tokyo at dawn, no less! What a great, hard-rockin' song!
