[PAR] [TLE] James Kottak [SEP] James Kottak (born December 26, 1962, Louisville, Kentucky) is an American drummer.  He is best known for his work with the German hard rock band Scorpions, which he joined in 1996.  At the time of leaving the band he was their all-time longest-standing drummer, surpassing Herman Rarebell, who spent 18 years in the band. [PAR] [TLE] Eye II Eye [SEP] Eye II Eye is the fourteenth studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1999.  It is a radical departure in that "Eye II Eye" is much more pop-oriented than their previous work, which alienated some fans, despite the single "Mysterious" reaching number 26 on the "Billboard" Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  It is the first studio Scorpions album to feature James Kottak on drums and also the final Scorpions studio album to feature Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar (unless one counts symphonic "Moment Of Glory").
