Your source for news about the Scorpions since 1996.

I had a conference call yesterday with Desiree from Azoff management. She told me everything should be signed later this week. And she will give me all details early next week on release date, record label,videos and new single for the new CD. And also Tour dates for the North America tour this fall. So please cancel your import order of Humanity with amazon,CDwow,best buy and etc etc etc…Ordering the import will hurt CD sales here in the states and that will force the Scorpions to shorten their American tour. So let’s all be patient here. 2007 THE YEAR OF THE SCORPIONS!!!

I just found out about a new Matthias Jabs Website. It has lots of pictures of his guitars, a discography, and lots of history. However, it is in German. I have also added this to the links page. Enjoy!

Here is a new interview in Portuguese about the new Scorpions CD, Humanity Hour 1.
Some highlights in English:

Desmond Child arranged personal trainers for the band doing physical exercises during the recordings – Desmond Child arranged a professor for Klaus Meine to have singing lessons – A famous Holywood Director that was at the time in the Studio said that Klaus doesn’t need singing lessons, but Klaus already said during the interview that it was really important for him after all this years to have such a great experience himself and still learn from it (something like this), because he never had singing lessons – Billy Corgan played “Ping-Pong” with the band during the recording sessions, because Smashing Pumpkins already were recording at the same studio but in other room. They were always with Smashing Pumpkins at the studio, so because of this, the band decided to invite Billy Corgan to sing with Klaus – The Scorpions wants to came back to PORTUGAL, because they’ll never forget the ACOUSTICA CD/DVD made in PORTUGAL, LISBON lands and the success they achieved with that album.

(thank you) ( Gonçalo aka dnote LISBON, PORTUGAL )

Here is an interesting article from CBS News about a big band not having a record label and releasing a CD on their own. Maybe the Scorpions don’t need a record deal in the states.

We here at Scorps News would like to wish Klaus Meine a very happy birthday! This is from all of us behind the scenes: Gil, Scott, Cristy, Paula, and many others. Keep on rockin into the next millenium!
