COMING TO TOWN: Scorpions

Josh Bell

Scorpions

Humanity Hour 1 ** 1/2

Billy Corgan guest appearance aside, the latest from these aging German headbangers is straight-up old-school, with slick production, thick riffs and in-your-face guitar solos. Also, insipid ballads, excessive abuse of string sections and a fist-pumper whose big hook is, “Three, two, one, are you ready to rock?” Whether that’s pathetic or awesome is kind of hard to tell.

With 3. September 21, 8 p.m., $66.50-$122. The Joint, 693-5066.
