So we take a break and then we have to write songs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The tour is the best inspiration for songs anyway \u2014 especially with the <b>SCORPIONS<\/b>,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We play 82 countries on this planet, so we are everywhere\u2026 We played in Asia last year extensively, Australia\u2026 We played all over Europe already this [past] summer. We meet so many different people, and it&#8217;s always a great inspiration for new songs. So I don&#8217;t think we have a problem writing good material for next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JWlgYotf7FE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guitarist Matthias Jabs and drummer Mikkey Dee of SCORPIONS stopped by the &#8220;Nights With Alice Cooper&#8221; video studio in September to talk about life on the road, new music, a special tribute to the late Lemmy of MOT\u00d6RHEAD, and much more.
