The acoustic version of “Rock You Like A Hurricane,” from the Scorpions’ first-ever “MTV Unplugged” show, is an interesting take of a beloved ’80s heavy metal classic. It’s from a new CD/DVD and Blu-Ray release, MTV UNPLUGGED which features acoustic versions of other hits, too, as well as five brand new songs. Recorded and filmed on September 11th and September 12th of last year from two acoustic sets at the Lycabettus Theatre in Athens, Greece.

The acoustic melody from Rudolf Schenker is right on target. And Matthias Jabs lead guitar work is always top-notch. The vocal performance from Klaus Meine is also decent.

Below is a sample of “Rock You Like A Hurricane” from MTV UNPLUGGED. It gets even better than this with an acoustic rendition of “Speedy’s Coming.” But you have to buy the CD/DVD and/or Blu-Ray for that.
