2009 Russia Tour (Novosibirsk)

[DeepAndDark]

Thank you, Toshiko.
I know that we'll see Scorps again in future, but this concert was an opportunity to see great bands TOGETHER on stage. It's like.......stealing a candy from a child... or saying that his birthday won't be celebrated...
Some people were waiting for this event for many months.... I already had my tickets in february...

However, there's a good point - the singers of bands will have one more day-off for their voices.
PS: it's so strange when sb calls me by nickname I already got used to see "hey, Galya!"

Dear Lord Galya I just saw this!!! How terribly sad for you!!! But, and I am not trying to diminish you missing out on a lifetime show, I am so grateful to God that none of our boys were there and they got hurt (like Len alluded to)!!! It's already scary to me that they fly so much around our great world when one hears of plane.....well I won't go there.
I just wish there was a way you could see them still. They should fly all of OUR members that missed out, to one of the other shows and put them on stage with them in compensation!! With YOU dancing on stage, eh?

Klaus from the german Scorpions Fanclub just posted an article from a german newspaper.

Here is the translation:

Moscow - In Siberia is a few hours before an open-air concert, inter alia, with the Scorpions on stage under the weight of the amplifier and other technology collapsed.
The concert, in which, inter alia, the Scorpions should play, had to be canceled.
In the accident at the stadium in the city of Novosibirsk on Saturday no one was injured, as the organizers, according to the Interfax agency announced. The concert in front of 20 000 spectators, including Alice Cooper, The Rasmus, and Kingdom Come were announced, it had to be canceled. "The band brought the music and lighting equipment was apparently too heavy for the stage," said one of the organizers. The musicians flew to the next appearance of their "Monsters of Rock" tour in the Far Eastern Khabarovsk further.

Thx for that Sarah. How stupid, the organizers didn't have a strong enough stage for a legend like Scorpions?? I sure hope that the next town they will and that someone tests all cities from now on before our boys get on ANY stage. I also hope that this doesn't change their new stage setup with the platform and the scorpion.

Hi Galya !

I 'm so sorry for you !!
I know how you were so exited about this show, I'm so desapointed for you.
It's happened to me for my "1st" show in 1996, it was cancelled the last day, Rudy hurt his back the day before on an other show.
I remember that I was very very sad and desapointed, I wait 3 years to see them. but it was medical issue it's understanding, but here .... I really don't understand how this kind of problem could happen !!

I'm very very sorry for you and all the fan there.

Maybe yet Marina understand why I stress before each show, we never know what could happen

Hi my dear Galya-sis,

As I have already e-mailed it to you, I am totally speechless and shocked.
I am so very sorry for all happenings.
I am grateful that nobody was there during the crash, but this fact doesn't change fans' bad and disapointed feeling, it is a normal human-reaction.
I exactly know how you are feeling now, because my anger was limitless when Uli's concert was cancelled in Budapest in 2006 a few days before the show.
We fans always have a horrible feeling in these cases evenif we know racional facts.

Galya my dear, I don't want to post any sappy commonplace here eccept that my simpathy is for you.

thank GOD no one was hurt........

Hope the boys are in good company.....

[gsantana]

You must always check that stuff.
At least no one was hurt.....but what about the equipment

Is that gone to......
Maybe the end of the Russian tour.......

[Deleted User 13688]

To me they are in God's company George, can't get any better than that, eh?

[Retrograde]

I wonder whom was paid to build that stage at the least cost.

It is a wonder there were no injuries.

[gsantana]

Many of these places are not safe...........
But GOD put his hand on the Stage.
Everything happens for a reason.........

[Deleted User 13688]

I noticed George that you mentioned about the equipment on the other topic and I was thinking the same thing when I read James' post. How much of it belonged to the guys? Remember the hurricane in 2007, they had some of their equipment destroyed then too. I am hoping their huge screen wasn't damaged or God forbid any of their guitars or drums!!!
Wolgang, can you please find out for us? Thank you.

[gsantana]

God acts in ways that no one can understand..........
Quite often they tell us these types of things are blessings........
I am quite sure the concert gowers in Russia do not see it that way but we do........

[fos daddy]

just like Guns n Roses new cd ... sales just collasped
