2009 Poland Tour (Gdańsk)

[Rūta]

Don't forget about our leitmotif - Huba buba! But why Huba buba? I can't remember the genesis

Ok, I guess we need to explain to everyone...
In Lithuanian "bottoms up!" are "iki dugno!". And "***" in Polish is "gowno", so I don't remember who started this, but it was somehow difficult to say "iki dugno" and then it became to "huba buba!" and later to "till gowno!"

Marta, come to skype if you can

Hi Ruta!
Thank you for your review, it was amazing to read your adventure!
It's ever a great thing to see the Scorps live and to meet many crazy Scorps fans!
Hope you feel fine!
IKI

Kristy ... Thanks for the link
Ruta ... Loved reading your review. It sounds like everyone had a wonderful time. I also love that your banner/sign said "thank you".
Marta ... Thank you also for your review ... I toss and turn after a good rock show too. It's hard to sleep after seeing the Scorpions. Did I read that this was your first concert?

Can you guys tell us about the merchandise? Anything new?

Marta,

I simply adored your cool review with your sweet, good sense of humor that I like so much.

Hey girlie, I didn't know that it was your very first Scorpions show.
I wish you more and more Scorps shows.
I hope to rock with you like a hurricane at a show one day.

[Rūta]

Marta, can you write about merchandise??? Thank you!!

Thank you Gabi Yes, it was the first one. And I want more! Now I understand what Anais meant when she said that after first show it becomes like an addiction
Who knows, maybe one day. Somewhere in the middle of the way between our countries We just have to check the tourdates

Thanks so much for your reviews, it's just a delicious taste of our boys til they come to us, eh?
Thanks to Scott for posting the vids on scorpsnews much much earlier; he is always on top of things and wasn't thanked, so....
Ruta, I am sorry you didn't get to see our guys backstage this time. But, tell me sthg. In the vids, the ppl are not singing or rawkin much. Why is that? It shocked me actually.
I see that your banner read Thank you. That was nice, but boorrriinggg!!! Next time, you will have to "spice" it up a bit. huh?

[gretaks]

Rūta, your review amazing! It feels like I was there. But damn it I wasn't...

hahahah thank you for the truth yap, but Matthias liked but I didn't like banner by itself, the 1st one was much better.

And yes, for me people were too calm, especially before bis, i thought scorps won't come once again because there was silence!!! But i tried to shout and sing as loud as i can all the songs!!!

[Marta]

Marta, can you write about merchandise??? Thank you!!

Ok, so to make it public :

Theee were many male t-shirts, to be honest I didn't examined them very well But I remember one with Blackout cover, maybe Humanity?
As to girls tops there was mine, two kinds of Kottak Attack tops, without sleeves, with some inscription on the front and the back. I liked it a lot, but it seemed to be very long and narrow at the same time. I tried to look for it in the internet but I couldn't find it. I saw some Kottak Attack t-shirt in the official site of James but they looked different. Oh, and there were two versions of it - white and black.
Besides there were also two t-shirts with short sleeves, they didn't have anything on the back, just "Scorpions" on the front with a little scorpion [as far as I remember]. They were in two versions as well - white and pale pink

And there were also some drumsticks, but we have these for free

But, tell me sthg. In the vids, the ppl are not singing or rawkin much. Why is that? It shocked me actually.

That was probably of the fact that it wasn't a typical concert. As you know there were many Kylie fans and just casual people. It's no wonder they didn' sing cause they probably heard these songs for the first time in their lives

Hi friends, there is my review

This show in Gdansk was hard decision for me. I was afraid... only two girls going from Czech Republic trought whole Poland by train. Bad weather. Scorpions show only for 60 minutes. My husband wanted go in the same time on the show of Marilyn Manson in Brno (CZ)!!
Finaly I said: „O.K., I can go to Scorpions show alone!“ and I beseeched my best friend to go with me and polish fans

On Tuesday evening I arrived with my friend by car from Ostrava to Katowice (in Poland).
There we was waiting in flat of my polish friend Magda for a night train to Gdansk. Thank you Magda´s mom for a dinner On midnight departed our train. We went during the night 10 hours to Gdansk. No comment

We slept in the hotel Exploris. There I met lot of fans!! Very nice to meet you all..... Magda, Paulina, Przemek, Ruti from Lithuania, Pablo, Pawel....

We were in Gdansk one day before the show. We went to areal of the show „Stocznia Gdanska“. We were standing many hours front of the enter. There was very cold and raining.
After long time we saw go Scorpions cars!!! We had big luck and we could go in to the areal too and meet the band take some pictures and stay here within soundcheck!!!! It was my first Scorpions soundcheck. Big dream and big success for me!! And hot tee in backstage
THANK YOU Mr. Gherke!!! It was nice to meet you. I must say that all people arround the band are friendly and very nice. The band is in „good hands“ and they all are perfect team.

KLAUS is always very friendly and lovely He has no problem with taking pictures and signing and speaking with fans. I think that he was pleased. He is „golden man“!
It was very happy and friendly meeting with Klaus. This is better feeling for me than win a lottery
After the soundcheck we met band for a few minutes in their hotel in Sopot. It was late and we went back to our hotel Exploris in Gdansk.

The show was too short but GREAT of course. There was great atmosphere and lot of fans. I think the band felt there really good. I was very close to stage. I saw that they are still keep smile
(and my husband called me from Czech Republic that Marilyn Manson show wasn´t good!! He was sorry that can´t see our good Scorpions!! - hahaha)
After the show we went to their hotel. I was sitting and drinking hot tee with friends from Poland and KLAUS came to sit down with us! He asked us how many kilometers and hour we traveled He said that it´s good to see us again. He remembered me from Budapest and Košice!! He ask me what show will be next It´s indescribable feeling to speak with him as „old friends“
My english isn´t good but I´m still learning and I think that speaking with Klaus is better and better
Maybe at first time I wasn´t now „shocked“ and I could speak with him „normal“. I need next Klaus english lesson
Next day Scorpions leaved their hotel about 10:00 a.m. We went say hallo them. I took pictures of the band for security boys In Gdansk was really friendly and funny atmosphere. I like people from Poland

I´m thinking about the show in Bulgaria – KAVARNA
But I can´t find some cheap flight from Czech Republic to Varna And now after the trip to Gdansk it´s expensive for me .... I think impossible for me
I´m a little sad that I can´t be there.
The shows in Germany by car or train are more real for me.

When I arrived at home I red message on this side from Klaus to fans – thanks for „Best wishes“.
Dear KLAUS, You gives us back very much!!!!!

Life is too short I want see lot of Scorpions show

THERE ARE MY PICTURES:

Hi Renata! Congrats! We were hoping for meeting with the band but it didn't happen. So you must be really, really happy I saw Starzyk and her friend in the Gdansk railway station but I didn't come to them, as I saw them only in the pictures and didn't know in fact. I guess you must have been somewhere there as well

Great photos!

[Rūta]

Thank you Renata for the review!!!

I had no hope to meet you there and it was very nice when you came before the show!!! And nice pictures!!! I saved few for myself!

And aaahhh meeting Klaus is the most amazing! He's very nice and warm person!!!

Kisses,

Ruta

We stayed in Exploris too, we had room nr 6. We got there about 1am because there were some problems to get there I didn't have the opportunity to see a lot of places in Gdansk. Mainly the Shipyard and the station But still I have wonderful memories

Thank you for the review again
