45 minutes sur un Hellfest ça peut être sympa quand même

Le groupe va sortir un live acoustique enregistré en Grèce :

A few months ago, Scorpions announced special MTV Unplugged acoustic shows in Athens, Greece. The group played two acoustic sets in the Lycabettus theatre of Athens. The open air theatre was designed by the Greek architect Takis Zenetos in 1965 and thus is just the same age as the story of the Scorpions. The band recorded these shows for posterity and will be releasing MTV Unplugged - Live In Athens on November 29th, available as double CD, DVD, Blu-ray and in various other digital and physical configurations.

More than ten years ago, the Scorpions had already played a few acoustic sets, the result of which, Acoustica, was released on CD and DVD in 2001. However, this is different because the band played brand new songs and did several duets with Morten Harket, Cäthe and Johannes Strate.

MTV Unplugged - Live In Athens will be released in 50 countries. Fans can also look forward to the documentary motion picture Big City Nights by Katja von Garnier, whose band portrait will be shown in cinemas before it is later released on DVD.

J'ai beaucoup aimé leurs albums et leurs shows jusqu' "BLACKOUT", ensuite les SCORPIONS ont commencé à perdre leur venin pour devenir un groupe tranquille particulièrement doué pour les berceuses.
De temps en temps j'écoute "VIRGIN KILLER", et c'est toujours aussi mortel !

[Psyko Killer]

Allez et si on tournait un peu plus pour promouvoir notre live???

Ils ont fait des slows.
Scorpions c'est pas du Hard.

[STEELER]

C'était du très bon HARD ROCK jusqu'en 83.

[Dark Schneider]

Mais ouais bien sur ! le couplet habituel du mec traumatisé par "Still loving you", mouarf mouarf ! c'est sûr que "Dynamite", "Big City nights", "Alien Nation" etc c'est de la soupe pour mémère !

[Yathin Lizzy]

Dynamite était sur Blackout.

Dans les albums récents, il y a encore de très bonnes chansons. En particulier sur l'album Unbreakable.

[Dark Schneider]

Merde... bon alors "Coming Home" alors !

Je ne suis pas très fan d'Unbreakable à part les trois premiers titres (très bons), mais Humanity est top.

[STEELER]

Je ne pense pas que Dark Schneider m'ait compris. Comment peut-il affirmer que j'aie été traumatisé par "Still Loving You" ? Les Scorpions ont cessé de m'enthousiasmer après "Blackout", et pas seulement à cause de leurs inévitables ballades.

[Psyko Killer]

James Kottak n'avait pas joué lors du concert du groupe à Dubaï puisqu'il a été arrêté pour avoir bu de l'alcool sans licence et surtout insulté l'Islam. Il serait en garde en vue (ou plutôt emprisonné) depuis le 03 avril et doit purger au total 1 mois de prison + une amende.

According to The National, SCORPIONS drummer James Kottak will spend a month in a Dubai, United Arab Emirates jail after he was convicted on Tuesday morning of insulting Islam.

The 51-year-old American musician had reportedly consumed five glasses of wine on an April 3 flight from Moscow to Dubai while travelling to Bahrain on a Gulf Air flight to perform two days later at the country's Formula One grand prix. After taking a wrong turn and entering the transit hall, Kottak "started swearing and talking about 'non-educated Muslims' before he flashed his middle finger at passengers," according to witnesses. Police said he also lowered his trousers and showed people his behind.

An officer said he heard Kottak saying "what is this disgusting smell" before the drummer insulted Islam. "I didn't see anything else but I heard him," the officer said. "I then informed my supervisor, who came and took the defendant away."

A 27-year-old client service employee at the airport added: "When he [Kottak] saw the Pakistani and Afghani passengers, he covered his nose and said that there was no way he will travel with them." He added that the drummer then started swearing repeatedly at the arrivals area of Terminal 2. "He wasn't talking to a person specifically but was talking in general," the client service employee said. "He was very nervous at the time and talking loudly."

A 25-year-old Jordanian passenger services agent said Kottak came over to her and "was shouting 'non-educated Muslims' then he went to the office of the head and flashed his middle finger at the passengers."

Kottak denied that he insulted Islam, telling prosecutors: "I don't remember saying these words and I did not flash my middle finger." He also denied taking down his trousers, saying: "This is not true — I just lifted my shirt up to show the tattoo on my back" as a "spontaneous act." "There is no way that I would say such a phrase about Muslims, whether I was drunk or not," he said.

"I confess to drinking alcohol but I refuse the other two charges, I did not do them," he added.

In addition to spending one month in jail, Kottak — who has been in custody since April 3 — was fined 2,000 dirhams (approximately $545) for drinking alcohol without a license.

Kottak's time spent in detention will be deducted from his sentence.

Neil Young : "rocking in a free world"

Enfin un peu de Rock'n'Roll dans la vie des Scorps !!!! Voilà ce qui arrive quand on ne veut pas finir un Farewell Tour.

[Mr. Sandman]

Alors, il semblerait définitivement qu'ils disent adieu à leurs adieux (bah oui l'an prochain ça sera leur 50 ans)...

In a new interview with Deutsche Welle, Scorpions singer Klaus Meine, guitarist Rudolf Schenker and lead guitarist Matthias Jabs talk about saying farewell to the farewell, the challenges of unplugged concerts, the band's upcoming 50th anniversary, the DW documentary film Forever And A Day and the album they're currently working on.

Q: In 2010, you announced you would end your career together after a three-year farewell tour. In early 2013 came the decision to keep going. Why?

Klaus Meine: "When you start a three-year farewell tour, you know you've got a long time ahead of you. But that long period went by much faster than we imagined. The closer we got to the goal - Munich in December 2012 - the stronger the feeling was that we hadn't come to the end at all. There were so many images in our minds and so many emotions in our hearts. Everything we experienced between 2010 and 2012, the 200 concerts - it was all so powerful. You stand on stage, look down and see so many fans - including the younger generation, who are really getting into it and saying: 'Guys, this is so cool. We're seeing you for the first time. When will you be back?' It's so motivating and inspiring to play for three generations. We're all having too much fun to put down the guitars."

Rudolf Schenker: "The success of the farewell tour bowled us over. When you see you've got a whole new generation in front of you - lots of 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds - then you get a whole new kick out of it. Essentially, we announced the farewell tour because we didn't want to be standing on stage and not able to deliver what people expected from us."

Matthias Jabs: "At first, there were plenty of arguments in favor of stopping. But we were quickly overshadowed by the feeling of how much fun it all is. It doesn't matter where we went, the shows were packed - in South America, the US, throughout Europe. So, we just thought: This can't really be the end."
