It was an amazing concert, and also Strasbourg and Lille, all the French concerts were fantastic. The people are looking for a new future and they wanna really go over it. And I think music is the best bridge to help people, and that&#8217;s what we felt when we played there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.blabbermouth.net\/news\/rudolf-schenker-says-it-was-important-for-scorpions-to-play-paris-after-terror-attacks\/ Speaking to Christian Platz of Agentinnen.net, SCORPIONS guitarist Rudolf Schenker stated about the band&#8217;s decision to carry on their French tour: &#8220;I mean, for us, we called the promoter, the French promoter, and asked him what he thinks.
