Scorpions are hard to catch. No, we\u2019re not talking about the scary little creature with the venomous tail, but the Rock and Roll band from Germany. We\u2019ve been trying to have the band return for a visit to ROCKLINE since last year when they released \u201cHumanity: Hour 1\u201d. The problem is Scorpions are the literal definition of a working band. They\u2019re always on the road and quite often that road is overseas. In fact, we are able to have them finally join us again only two days before they begin the tiniest of US tours, seven dates on the West Coast and in the Midwest. We are catching them a few days after playing in Finland and just before this mini-tour of selected American cities. Always fan-aware and interactive, the band is allowing US fans to vote on the set list for this tour at their official website the-Scorpions.com<\/a> That kind of approachability coupled with the fact that they are one of the greatest live bands in Rock history has helped keep the odyssey alive since the 1970\u2019s. With a huge catalog of sixteen studio albums of all new material from 1972 forward, Scorpions have a gigantic list of songs from which one can choose. There are certain songs that will always be a part of a set by Scorpions. Can you imagine seeing them perform live and not hearing \u201cLike a Hurricane\u201d? It\u2019s just not going to happen. But you can have a say in choosing some of the other songs that aren\u2019t always included in their live set whether your taste runs to \u201cLovedrive\u201d or Lovin\u2019 You Sunday Morning\u201d.
In addition to the classic repertoire the band boasts, there is their outstanding album of entirely new songs. \u201cHumanity: Hour 1\u201d, the excellent new CD was co-produced by songwriter\/producer Desmond Child and songwriter\/producer James Michael, noted for his work with Motley Crue and now the front man for the Nikki Sixx side project Sixx AM. The result is classic Scorpions, biting social commentary and hook laden songs that rock but are smooth as silk as well. As radio tends to be somewhat conservative these days, ROCKLINE serves a valuable purpose as we love to jump into an album and go deeper than a song or two and provide a taste of what an album is really all about. The old Album Oriented Rock format survives. And there\u2019s no disappointment with \u201cHumanity\u201d. Fresh and vital, the songs have that patented Scorpions sound. If you haven\u2019t had a chance to hear \u201cHumanity\u201d, we will be more than happy to provide the opportunity for you. Plus, we\u2019ll open up the phone lines and let you connect with Germany\u2019s best export and get the inside story as they continue their extensive world tour.
It has been awhile. Don\u2019t miss this rare opportunity to catch Scorpions on our next ROCKLINE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
