Scorpions retire
I have to laugh at the final album with a supporting final tour "over the next few years"
I do hope they come to Phoenix though, I never thought these guys got enough credit for the influence they provided for countless metal artists in the 80's while they basically basically played in obscurity for well over a decade before the release of Lovedrive. One of my favorite metal bands ever and I would put Animal Magnetism and Blackout up against any Metal albums ever. Of course the article doesn't even acknowledge any of their early work, which was a lot better than the 90's stuff they talk about IMO. I wonder if some of the folks that write these articles have ever even heard the music they write about. http://music.msn.com/music/article.a...4040>1=28102 Quote:

Convinced a moment of good fortune and Still Loving You on the radio got me laid.

In their case it's probably time. Hopefully the final album will be a testament to the greatness that was for so long & not a reminder of how bad they had become over the last decade.

I don't know about their most recent, but the one before that - Unbreakable - was a pretty good album. They were one of the better live acts that I've seen.
but yeah, it's time.

"The band, known for its early 1990s hit "Wind of Change"
Sorry, but I'd prefer to forget they did that song.

My first concert when I was 16. That was 28 years ago. 1983s "Rock Me Like a Hurricane."
Bon Jovi opened for them. Sad to see them retire. I must be getting old. |

Oh shit, that was my first arena concert as well. The Omni in Atlanta in my case. At that point Bon Jovi had a grand total of one single, Runaway.

Samples of two songs from the forthcoming album are available on the band's official MySpace page
http://www.myspace.com/officialscorpions Raised on Rock might be a fitting farewell, I'm not sold on The Good Die Young after a couple of samples but it could grow on me.
