Scorpions cut "Another Piece of Meat" for Lovedrive, the German band's sixth studio album, the 1979 record where they locked in the blend of hard rock and melodic ballads that would carry them through the next few releases. Drummer Herman Rarebell wrote the lyrics and built the music with Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine sings it, and Dieter Dierks produced.
Three electric guitarists are on the credits, Rudolf Schenker, Matthias Jabs and Michael Schenker, over Francis Buchholz's bass, and Michael is the wild card. Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine later named this his favourite of the songs Michael played with the band, praising the quick flashes of guitar slipped in between the vocal lines and the running leap he takes at the solo, which sounded to Mustaine unlike anything else in heavy metal.
