The elementary particles of rock music are the characteristic pacesetters of an always changing society since time immemorial. They are not light and weightless, if they float through space. On the contrary, these atoms, advance, come often, as their fragments would follow the dark rivers of the heart. They are chaos and passion, earthy, hot machine welding to pounding rhythms, music as an allegory of the time and the socialized sensitivities. Simply put: If other music follows the fashions, the rock is a kind of Chronicle of current events. And the Scorpions now have applied with \”Sting In The Tail\”, to redefine their musical Foundation, and to create a work that not only meets the characteristics of our days, but even ahead of her on hard granite. Nobody has a master plan for a hit album.

\”We have\”, says Rudolf Schenker, \”but this time about finding our basis subordinated.\” \”Attitude\” is the right word, the \”disposition\” as a stereotype for the rock culture. \”I\” m driving out of town just follow my heart / I think I’m gonna be a rock’ n roll\”star / the girls would go mad I\” d give ‘ em all I can give / if I had a cheap guitar and one dirty riff \”, writes my Klaus in the lyrics of the title song\”Sting In The Tail\”. \”On our new album, we sound a fresh and uncomplicated, just one hundred percent like Scorpions\”, says Matthias JABs. It’s been 40 years that the old formation of the Scorpions, Schenker brother Michael, who later moved to UFO, moved to bus via the villages still with Rudolf in the rickety red VW, in pubs, garages or backyards in Lower Saxony to unpack their equipment to rock out. The band, the Rudolf had Schenker five years in Sarstedt name had given and suspect the first with changing musicians at that time approaches of a promising career had, from the outset two – almost apocalyptic – objectives: \”first, we limit ourselves to English lyrics, because we will include the world – second – sometime the best rock bands.\” The rest is music history: the \”echo\” for lifetime achievement (2009) and for best national group (1992) up to the \”World Music Award\” (1994), there are not many significant Awards, which have given not the Scorpions in addition.
