Hi Erich...

The Scorpions have a new album titled "Rock Believer" released on Feb. 25, 2022.
$ The Millionaire $

The lead singer at 73 can hold a tune and rock it very nicely. For me, nothing stands out unique and memorable though. "When You Know" is a welcome ballad. The alternative acoustic version is very nice. My cats reacted as if saying WTF on the guitar solo in "Gas In The Tank".

Ciao!

I wouldn't be surprised that gov't agencies may have "bent the
ear" of key players in many industries inorder affect the
changes they wanted.

I got to see these guys live in front of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg
about 5 years ago or so.. I'm not sure if it was because of the location or
the guy's condition at the time, but he skipped all the lines where he had to hit high notes :/.

What is a visually impressive show too? I mean.. was the
staging, lighting, aux multimedia etc. interesting too?

It would seem almost a shame to attend a live show of a fav
band and they never attempt to outshine "the original".

Klaus Meine is a METAL cultural icon! He single-handedly created the hair style now known as the "Skullet", when a metal dude suffers from male
pattern baldness but keeps the length.

I have a serious soft spot for The Scorpions. I was in high school when "Animal Magnetism" and "Blackout" came out.

Trivia bit: Blackout's cover of the guy grimacing with bandages around his head with forks tearing at his eyes was painted by Gottfried Helnwein. He's done a collection of similarly disturbing paintings.

They're self portraits.

Unfortunately it was a very plain and boring stage. It was big, but I don't think they even had anything with the band name on it besides the bass drums. Trying to remember if there was even a poster/banner behind them. I don't
think there was.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it felt. Eh, Russia. :)
