SCORPIONS ***NEW FRENCH TOURDATES***

[Emilie]

Of course it's not against french people, it's just that it happened in France but it could have happened everywhere else where the money was ...

[oldscorpsfan75]

i can even understand that if no promoter from that countries call the Scorpions to play there..........Scorpions can visit that countries by themselves...........anyway it's weird.........[/quote

No!!!!! Mr Amend can visit the countries, not the Scorpions!Sad but true,and don't tell me ***,it's also Scorps' fault! We are fans but we have to admit the band is going down and down but who cares??????

but resentment against a fianl tour that touched so many times the france , and never been in countries like Spain, United Kingdom, Italy,Austria......Asia, and Australia.........and many others

They also said Australia....well unless they keep going into 2013, that ain't happenin.....AND might I add, they emphasized that they are going to hit many places they either haven't been in a long long time or haven't been before!! So far, last time I checked, Russia and France have been visited many many times, so they don't exactly fit in that category of not having been there before.
What's up guys? It looks like you are pissing off your fans real good!!

I understand why you are so disappointed but it's not our fault if there are much shows in France than elsewhere. Like you I think it's too much but if no promoters want to take risks by organizing a tour for Scorpions in his country, what can we make it ?

This resentment against France in some comment is completely moved and irrelevant. Scorps french fan are not better than others and Scorpions don't prefer France. Sorry for you but MONEY RULES THE WORLD not us.

I don't think that somebody said something against France...but i thought that Nancy was supposed to be the last show in France and that's why the promoter tried to make it so special,but what counts is that this'farewell tour',has been a 3 years tour between France,Russia and Germany with some exceptions,the band's manager had the brilliant idea to call this 'farewell tour'...but can't book countries like UK,or Italy etc etc...a huge band like Scorpions after the release of a ssuccessful album,cannot book a proper tour!
So what's the point to tour with the same set list for 3 years at the same places...

Well, I think everything is all about the money! I know that Klaus and Rudy always says…”we would like to play here and there but there is nobody who would invite us”. Of course not…because the band is very expensive! There are organizers and production companies who don’t want to pay so much for the Scorps. It’s all about the business. Amend, the management and the „old members” found out a price why they go out to play a show. I know it depends on so many things. A package tournament in the US is totaly different like a topical one show or a festival concert but everything has a price. As a matter of fact the Scorps is not so popular like they had been in the 80’s and the companies don’t want to pay so much because they are afraid that the event won’t be profitable. Now it looks the french market and the french promotion had been perfect and the local organizers can sell the band so many times in the same country. Besides I am not agree with this thought. When the band announced their retirement they promised that they will make an unforgettable last tour when they will go everywhere where they still have not been before. And this will be because of the fans! I don’t want to believe that the money matters to them…So in the last round of their career the would give chance to the fanatics in the whole world to see and enjoy them in live at last. So it should not have to be only about the money! It looks that they want to make a big money at last time...

Exactly dear friend, it's all for the money as long as they can. A little example. I just saw it tonight so I'm still a little more irritated.

They plan to do a concert in Nantes, the city where I am now. I already saw them here in 2007 and 2010. The price in 2010 for a place in front of the stage ( I run very fast ) was 45,50 € and for the same place in 2012 the price is 67,50€ . I let think about that by yourself, for me it's done I won't go to this show.
