It`s already painful! I`m already sad

[YNWA]

...why is this topic about?

I`ve tried to follow our guys` advices, their appeal not to be sad, not the think about the end of SCORPIONS ERA, and I even manage to do this - to tear this thought from my head! And I kind of did it...I`ve as if forgot it is a farewell and enjoyed every moment with a great pleasure!

But it`s getting harder and harder for me. I catch myself - I`m in tears in my eyes, when listening to their songs... It is already painful, cause I know, we`ll have their songs forever, but we won`t have anymore the chance to hear them on concerts, live...

My heart is not enjoying anymore, it`s already bleeding... And the more I listen to them, the more I think about this end So I just try to skip their songs from the playlist. How ironically.. Not to listen to something, because you love it so much!

We`re having fun here, chating, we have countdowns to concerts. But it`s close the date they`ll tell where the last concert will be! And then? We won`t enjoy the countdown anymore, the counting will be painfull as well

Goshh, I want to listen them! I don`t want to stop listening to their sings.. Non-Stop! And at the same time I don`t want to do it, cause I think and think and think about the above.. and I feel so sad!

And yesterday, after work I listened to We`ll Burn the Sky a couple of times.. And it`s so... it`s not just a song, but a work of art, someting really magnificent... And then this mixed feelings - admiration and pain, rushed into me again...

Please,people, calm me somehow.. Tell me that they`ll never stop playing, lie me, help me... I can`t deal with this weird situation by my own anymore

[katerina]

Heeey, Curry...caaalm dooown:-)
I know and understand very well the feeling of "please lie to me". But of course the solution is not to try to forget that they will stop, because, as it happened to you, there always comes the moment when you can't "fool" yourself anymore.
Who told you that we will never see them again afterwards? Of course not as regularly...but you never know how it will be, if there will be solo projects for example, or some concerts on special occasions.
And Hey, the most amazing and important: we already know for sure that we will have "newold" material from them later.. we will still, again and again, experience the thrill of anticipating, putting a new cd in the player, and letting new sounds come in our heart.
I'm sure Rudolf would say: "don't see it as an end, see it as a change". ( )

[Alizee]

I agree, after more than 40 years playing music, I really can't imagine they'll stop everything connected with music....Sitting down in front of their TVs and attending galas from time to time like old pensioniert ? Hum I can hardly get the picture
Something tells me they'll have different solo projects...old unknown stuff being released
It's not time yet to feel sad about any final curtain...For sure seeing all the tourdates in America make us think we're near the end of the Tour, but not yet Curry, not yet,'cause the Best Is Yet To Come!!

[YNWA]

Thanks, girls...

...and yes, till now, I kept telling myself "The best is yet to come", there will be new projects and so on... But even though releasing some old video materials or solo projects can`t warm me up anymore.. And, yeah, I keep my fingers crossed and believe that they will be some rare live projects - concerts as the NY2012 one, but.. probably once-twice a year, just a couple of the most famous songs and that`s all...

And I`m not compaining, not at all! And from the very fisrt time, when I read about their farewell, I told that I respect their desicion and so.. But, I`m so sad lately, thinking of this. And really nothing can calm me down..

I just don`t want to think about the last show, last song, last chord, last pyramide and so on May be last time seeing you

[Inulka]

I also think we'll see solo projects. If I'm not doubt about Rudolf's crazy rock ideas, I'm afraid about Klaus..the duets with girls sux and I noticed that Klaus likes duets with girls (here in my heart, send me an angel and some other with liel, the good die young, SLY... ) but I liked so much dying for an angel with avantasia..so, who knows And I still think that there will be family reunion concerts in future till their death at least one time in a year they should do them...and don't u think that Rudy won't organize a great show for his 65th anniversary?

Do be sad, you will always have the memories of seeing them live plus you still have their music. They still have their solo music or business, they are always going to be around the music industry in so form or another. If you ever get to Munich go an visit MJ Guitars.

[Flying V fan]

I can understand how to feel about it, I've felt that way sometimes, and it feels like once they "retire" it will be the end. That we won't hear from them anymore, that they'll just disappear from the public.

But they've said several times that "The Best is Yet to Come" and "age is just a number." They're so positive about it, so we all should be too, especially since those quotes above are so true! Another quote, in "The Best is Yet to Come," is "How can we grow old when the soundtrack of our lives is rock and roll!" From all the things they themselves have said, we can know that there isn't going to be an end. Another example: my guitar teacher said to "never stop doing something you love." And the Scorpions never will!

[Gabi6912]

Curry sweetieee!
Don't be sad my friend.

I totally agree with the girls' posts.
Can you imagine our beloved Rudolf not to be active in rock-life?
None of them won't be able to leave the world of music, so believe me, we will have some big, unexpected surprises after their last show also as Scorpions.

And, hey, don't stop listening to their songs.
There have been some emotionally very hard years behind me, and I have learned a thing from them:
always keep the moment, enjoy present, don't worry about future.
You never may know what will happen, and believe me, there are always unexpected, positive turns in life.
At the moment I pay my attention to their shows, to the reviews of Fosers, and can't wait for the Munichshow.

Curry you know, as I already told here in the forum, Scorpions came into my life I was 18, I knew by heart 2 albums and then I didn't follow them very much since Sting in the tail album came. I started to listen to this album and bought it : it was when I passed a hard moment in my life because at the end of 2010/beginning of 2011 I discovered that there was a fibroid which had overruned my womb and that there was no other solution than operate and take it off... my body and my woman mind were weakened and I was afraid.. But as I use to take all positive things I can find in Life...Sting in the tail, raised on rock, the best is yet to come, no limit ... these songs, gradually, gave me back courage and strength to face this difficult part of my life. I often think "Still loving you Scorpions" when I think about their sudden comeback in my life , but in reality I love them like I never did before. After the operation in september, I came to their concert in Rouen, I shared a great smiling and happy moment with other fans in the place and our Scorps, so close to us with their human warmth.. so sometimes I think "but how could I live without you, you're such a part of me.." I never felt love for a group, and yet, it is love I feel for them, so.. Yes sometimes I'm sad like you and I wonder how will it be ? I will miss them, as I miss them when I don't read news from them for a too long time (HEY OUR SCORPIONS, WHERE ARE YOU ? GIVE US SOME NEWS FROM YOU !!!).
You know, we must respect their decision, our Scorpions gave us and gave us again, year after year, concert after concert, and time has passed.. I agree they need time for themselves, to rest, to be more present for their family and friends. As for us, their FOS friends, I hope very very much, they will go on give us news, just a "coucou" from time to time, just to rassure us and tell us we are always here in their heart as they are in our hearts too Perhaps they will give us surprises again too, but just enjoy, because we are in the "best is yet to come" !!!

Curry , I`m so sorry to hear you feel this way ....but life is just like this , there`s usually a beggining and an end ...I want to share with you a beautiful lyric from an argentinian band Vox Dei , Present :

Everything concludes at last
Everything has an end , everything finishes
I have to understand , life is not eternal,
The crying and laughing there it ends…
I thought love has no measure
You stop loving , maybe another girl…
And I forgot what I once thought... that it would never end
But somehow it did
Everything shows me that in the end I finish everyday..
I start everyday , believing in tomorrow I fail today .
It`s useless to fight I can stop it
What I started today it won`t be forever…..
It`s a fact you should live your present !

[YNWA]

Thanks all, friends!

I don`t know why I started to freak out I was OK and took everything calmly till now and suddenly.. I started thinking about this But reading how positive you are, gave me strenght again! Thanks, thanks, thanks

:romance-grouphug: Thanks all, friends!

Glad you feel better!

[Lovechaser1579]

Great you feel better now !!! Even though I understand your feelings very well - but let me tell you something Curry ... maybe this cheers you up a little bit as well.

Back in 1992 I already was a big Scorpions fan at the age of 12 / 13 for years - I´m born in 1979 and have been a fan since 1987 ... so in 1992 when they were the biggest name in Hard Rock Heaven -due to Wind Of Change- I bought a documentary of them (book) - after I read everything and knowing about their long career and the big success all over, I was thinking about what I wished for the future - them being around for 20 years at the time I prayed for another 10 years - 10 more years and I´d be satisfied and happy ... now 20 years have gone by and here I sit just being gratefull for everything ... I have grown up with them and us fans really have gotten it all ... great Albums and great Concerts again and again ... and even though I still hope for more to come I would say we had it all ... and that more than once ... everything now is just a repeat - I mean that positively ... but they did all they ever could ... and in a different way, we will still get mor stuff by the guys - so how awesome will that be !!! They are by far the best Hard Rock band ever - no other band could ever keep up with that - maybe musically but never as personalities. So Curry - YOU & I and all the fans that have been there for up to the last 30 years have experienced something no generation ahead of us will ever experience again - we really had our MOMENT IN A MILLION YEARS ... and that is something to be just happy about

[phuong]

It warms my heart that you feel better now, Curry

[Nadin]

Heeey, Curry, my swet friend!!!! Though everything is already said, and you feel better about it now - still I also want to say that I understand your feelings, I also had that sadness imagining that moment, when there will be no Scorpions anymore... and I also couldn't hold my tears, and, like you, I tried not to listen to them, cause their music caused only pain in me then... but I don't know how, it passed itself with the time, maybe because Istarted to take it phylosophycally - that nothing is eternal in this life, and everything ends sooner or later, ... anyway, now I accept this fact very calmly, still enjoy listening to their divine music, looking forward for thier upcoming last shows with the excitement, cause their "the best is yet to come" has really put a hope in my heart, nope,it's even assurance, that it's not the very end of the Scorpions - likee it was said for many times - they just can't give up what is an integral part of their life - so I'm just sure there will be new projects , like Klaus' solo, Schenker Bros, other family reunions with different scorps' members "combinations" - I'm even sure that we'll see them altoghether for many times after they say their official "last good-bye" So I look positive into the future now - so I hope these my positive thoughts also will warm you up, my friend

Btw, yep, as for the friendship - this is another great part of my life, connected with the scorps, that brings so much positivism to my life - our friendship - I have so many great friends all over the world thanks to them - and I want to hope that our friendship won't end after the official endind of the band, that we'll continue our communication no matter what
Moreover I want to believe thatwe'll arrange fos meetings from time to time - even without scorps shows, just for us - to sit toghether, sing scorps' songs, and just enjoy being together - well, at least I find it to be quite possible for european fosers

But, if I am blessed by God to attend the official last Scorps' show ever - of course I'm sure I'll cry there, as all of the fans, I'm sure - cause it will be very significant and show, overloaded with the strong emotions.... but at the same time those memories will remain in my heart forever! And, once again, I believe that we'll see them again and again after this show as long as they are alive

To resume all above, I'd like to say, Curry, dear, don't be sad - keep looking forward into the future with the positive spirit! cause:
1. Think positive and live in the accordance with the Universe laws, send this positive request to The Space, and it will turn be\ack to you ( well.. I think you know this... )
2. Nothing ends in a bad way - if something had a bad end - it means it's not the end! ( sorry, I don't remember the exact quote word-by-word, but I hope I've given the right sence of it )

[YNWA]

People, I love you soooo... soo much, really!

[Gabi6912]

Hey Nadia,
I also have allready thought about the same thing like you did.
I don't want to stop keeping contact with you all my Fosfriends after the band's finish.
Some Fosmeetings would be amazingly appreciated evenif with out Scorps shows.

I totally agree with you Gabi!
Don't be sad Curry, my dear!

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

Don't cry coz it's over, smile coz it happened...

that's how I try to console myself...out of the greatest bands in the history of rock, the Scorpions are nearly the only band still active til now with their full lineup...especially with Rudolf, Klaus and Matthias who have been here for tens of years...Curry dear, we should feel lucky and happy because we had the chance to still live these moments in these days, especially those of us born in the mid, late 80s...believe me, we are lucky ! in addition, and as our friends said, we'll always have this connection between us, we'll always have each other and share news of our greatest favourite band!

Cheeers...
