Your source for news about the Scorpions since 1996.

The Scorpions “Humanity” video is currently playing on Cox Communication Cable On Demand Music Choice station all across America. If you have Cox Cable please go to the free zone and select this video on the music choice channel. It should be channel 1. This is a really good sign. In fact it’s probably better to have the video played on cable then having the song on radio stations. Maybe this is a sign that Azoff is trying to get a buzz going in America. So if we keep requesting this video it might create a tour of our country this summer.
