INTERVIEW: Matthias Jabs, Very Positive Info. 6/12/12

[HateToBeNice]

well Klaus said nearly the same above the last tour concert, at a TV-Interview. That they will end the tour at the end of 2012 (Oberhausen?).

For people who are ableo to speak german the link:

Watch on youtube.com

[Rūta]

Oberhausen? The town is in the tourdates for a while now... and no one said about it being the last show...? Strange, I would expect a bit different announcing of the last show, not someone posting the link where someone from the band mentions it like it's the most natural information and everybody already knows it...

I believe there will be no logical explanation for that. And I believe that after the concert gets sold out, there will appear another small city in Germany to host the "last show". Sorry for criticism, it's just how I feel about that right now...

I imagine "ending on a high note" in a bit different way.

TOTALLY AGREE, DEAR!
IN SEVERAL OTHER INTERVIEWS WITH MATTHIAS OR RUDOLF THEY SAY 2013 TO BE THE END OF THE "LAST" "WORLD" TOUR. SORRY I DON´T HAVE THE LINKS...

[HateToBeNice]

sure they said, but it's a bit strange that nearly all band members said that oberhausen will be the last one of the tour, why they say that now, I don't know maybe for selling tickets. It was clear that Oberhausen would be one of the last shows in Germany and the stadium only holds 12.000 fans a small one for a last concert. And many tickets are available quite now.

[Adrian]

and it's impossible they decide about Oberhausen as last show without saying nothing officially.....
don't worry,the last show will be somewhere/sometime on 2013

NOT JUST MAYBE

THEY´LL KEEP ON SAYING IT ´TILL IT´S SOLD OUT...THEN THERE´LL APPEAR MORE TOURDATES FOR 2013 (SURELY A LOT IN FRANCE AND SOME IN GERMANY!!!)

Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs has confirmed the band have given up on their plan to split – although they probably won’t keep going the way they have in the past.

He says they’ve been invited to play at the opening ceremony of football’s 2014 World Cup competition in Brazil.

And he adds their next studio project is likely to include completed versions of songs they didn’t finish in the 1980s and 1990s.

The German outfit announced their intention to break up after one last work tour in 2009. But as more and more dates were added they admitted they were reconsidering the decision.

Now Jabs says that, like Judas Priest, they’re planning to keep going as a band, but won’t be touring the world any more.

He tells AZCentral.com: “The Scorpions will not break up. We’re giving up the constant touring – into the studio, out of the studio, back on the road.

“There’s a routine of making an album and touring the world for two and a half years. We said, ‘Can we go in the studio in 2013, Klaus will be 65, and then do another world tour?’ It might get shaky.

“We have a project which we will probably release next year. We have so much film material. We will work on something like an anthology, some kind of box set.”

Earlier this year the Scorpions recorded some new tracks for the project. Jabs says the work consisted of “resurrecting unfinished songs from what some people say was our best time – leftovers from Blackout, Love at First Sting, Crazy World and Savage Amusement.

“There’s so much strong material. The vibe is great because it’s from the time when we were starting out.

“Back then, when I found a new riff I would get excited. It’s slightly different today because I know it all, I’ve heard it all. It’s much harder to get excited about the simplest or sometimes half-genius riff. But there was a definite spark in those old recordings. The idea is to redo them with today’s technology and take it further.”

While the band have nothing scheduled beyond tour’s end on December 15 in Germany, Jabs says: “Nobody has said we’ll never hit the stage again. We were approached to play for the opening of the World Cup in 2014. That is not confirmed – but those opportunities, we would not let slip away.”

Maybe..and if these songs were written during the 1982-1991 period..then Herman probably co-wrote these songs..

Scott, I asked the very same thing to Herman yesterday when I emailed him back over the questions I was asking on behalf of the topic of Sonja.....that if they are going to go back into the studio to do unfinished material from the 80's, what are the chances they will do any of his? BTW, did you see my last post in the Sonja thread? Check it out if you haven't.

Wow, now I'm completely convinced that they're just like other bands that announce their retirement and end up releasing more materials and booking more shows

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they still keep being a band and hitting here and there.
But as I said, keeping their own words / being decisive is just as important as composing / playing good music . Sorry if I sound as a hater, but my rationality is speaking loud inside my head.
