Scorpions
ClassicRockMagazine.com: There are plans for a new Scorpions album, featuring leftovers from the early 1980s.
Klaus Meine: “We started that over a year ago… It will be material that was never finished; songs with pure Scorpions DNA from a very exciting time. Once we close the book on the crazy touring schedule that’s something we’ll pick up again.”
Three years after announcing the Scorpions had decided to wind down their career; the band has changed their minds.
Meine explained the volte-face as follows: “As the emotion built, it [not retiring] became a gradual decision. It’s one thing to say, ‘This is going to be the end of the Scorpions’ and another to do it. Our Sting In The Tail album [2010] was such a success that a whole new generation of fans joined the party. It was amazing. And you know that with all the best parties it’s sometimes hard to find the door?”
Scorpions, ‘Get Your Sting and Blackout’ World Tour 2010 with special guest Cinderella, stopped in Ontario, California on July 29th. METAL SHOP’s Ralph Cartel sent in some photos.

Over 100,000 people turned out for the Moscow Peace Festival in 1989. You think any of them had never heard of these bands before then? More proof that saying ‘no’ to kids, just makes them want it more.
