Your source for news about the Scorpions since 1996.

German axe-alchemists Scorpions are in a happy and heavy place these days, having just added tank of a drummer Mikkey Dee to the band’s ranks, giving the live show a shot in the arm that bodes well for the next record. But right now the guys are in pause mode, touring, yes, but also biding their time with a new compilation called Born to Touch Your Feelings: Best of Rock Ballads. Something old, something new, the album offers twists at every turn. Just when you get comfortable, here comes a new acoustic version, a Comeblack version, something from Face The Heat or a radio edit or something from the Unplugged.

Guitarist Matthias Jabs and drummer Mikkey Dee of SCORPIONS stopped by the “Nights With Alice Cooper” video studio in September to talk about life on the road, new music, a special tribute to the late Lemmy of MOTÖRHEAD, and much more. Check out the chat below.

Asked about the status of SCORPIONS‘ next studio album, Jabs said: “We couldn’t record anything before next year, 2018. We are on the road until December 10th, and that means before Christmas, nobody’s gonna do anything in the studio. So we take a break and then we have to write songs.

“The tour is the best inspiration for songs anyway — especially with the SCORPIONS,” he continued. “We play 82 countries on this planet, so we are everywhere… We played in Asia last year extensively, Australia… We played all over Europe already this [past] summer. We meet so many different people, and it’s always a great inspiration for new songs. So I don’t think we have a problem writing good material for next year.”

Dear Fans in Ostrava(December 3), Ljubljana(December 5) and Belgrad(December 7), sometimes it‘s a thin line between Triumph and Tragedy when singing in the cold Winter Season…i’m sorry for all of you who made Plans to Rock out with us, but i want to give you the very best Performance i can give and it turned out this time i could‘nt … soooo very sorry…the Shows are postponed and we’ll give you new Dates as soon as posible…Rock on …Klaus
