[Scottss8]

James contract with the Scorpions expires December 31-2012..so 2013 should be interesting for the Scorps and their drummer status..

haha you, my friend, are so cheeky!! Scott would have told JK to get it together for sure. haha But it would be interesting to know who gave James a good stern talking to. Esp after last time!!!
As for the contract expiring for the crazy stickman, I think he probably would get a small extension so he can play with the boys for the sporadic shows they will be playing next year. He doesn't need a full-fledged contract to play the small amount of cities they have planned.

james that's james
he is a cool guy
after the show he has speaking with my son and he said : you should always listen to Mom and Dad
My son was on a cloud
james: this is his idol

Hahaha.

[Scottss8]

If this info is correct someone inside the Scorpions camp need to talk to James again..The fans pay a good amount of money to see a show and they don't deserve a wasted performer on stage..

the Nancy France show in June was horrible and disgraceful to the fans. James did send an apology to the fans right after the show....the last thing a fan wants is to introduce your kids to a member of the band and he is wasted. Really not a good example for our youth.

Lets hope this info is incorrect...

You should go see gospel and not rock!!!!!

James is a great musician, his life is difficult at the moment, we can understand, and support!

[Scorpions Truck]

Funny what some people think they know.
Some know JK was talking to a certain producer, but when specifically asked for more facts - silence....

Some people post knowing all about contracts of musicians, please tell us more!

Same people know about the plans of the band in 2013, know they are just playing a "few" gigs and also are so familiar in the business that they know there are no contracts neeeded......
Strange these are the same ppl frequently annoying other FOS when they post something what´s not in common with what they are posting.

So to those it may concern, there´s a wondeful term in German:

Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten,

Here´s my individual translation for You:

If You don´t have a clue, just shut the f**k up!

As mentioned before that´s just to those it does REALLY concern.
Thank God its just a few.....

cheerz

I agree with you Ben.
Some ppl "know" all about the Scorpions and their life and all and all....but in fact they don't know anything at all and they write some false informations....What a shame...

here is the interview posted on this site back in September via TMZ about James:

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?m ... mID=179810

so yes i do have a clue..so i dont have to shut the F**k up..but thanks for your kind words..cheers BEN and Nadine..

All of our lives are difficult but i don't show up for work drunk..and just because he is a rocker and going through a divorce doesn't give him the right to show up for a show drunk..that is not fair to the fans who have paid alot of money to see the band..it's very unprofessional..if he gets drunk after the show while partying that is fine but he should be in 100% in shape for the show..

What happens if James passes out during a show from being drunk??? and the band has to stop the show before finishing their set and you don't get a refund for the ticket...you would be on this site complaining the band owes you money for a short show..

gospel now that is funny....

Love & Peace, everyone! We`re the fans of the most amazing band in the world, how can we argue with each other!

So, everybody has an opinion and I understand someone`s bitterness (or at least, I`m trying). Not so many shows in USA, not to mention some countries that they`ve never been. But we`re not managers, we`re not so into this business and what seems (for us) to be easy to be done, may be is not that easy...Let`s say we know just 1% of the things behind the curtain and.. 1% is everything but not enough to make a final conclusions

About the media.. hey, just do not rely on what media says. They always make the little wind looks like a hurricane! That is how their business work.... So giving an article from some website can`t be taken seriously (at least for me).

What happens in James personal life is not our business. What is the truth - we`ll never know and that is how it has to be!

About James being drunk. ... I think we (we- fans of Scorpions) are getting too spoilted Why? Cause we are somehow used to the friendly behaviour of the band, of the attention towards their fans and so, and so. There are stars that are fainting on stage, taking drugs or being too rude with their fan masses and..?

Can`t we appreciate what "golden boys" we have? James was drunk and SO WHAT! He`s a rockstar, that`s what rockstars DO - drink and rock!

I think we`re getting more and more hard to be pleased and that`s not good! Let`s just enjoy what we have, right?

And, please... let`s keep the good manners!

James sent this information to TMZ...so it must be true...

[NadineScorpS']

I have already read this article. It does not mean that any truth or that everything is written.

In any case, I shall not allow to judge James or to emit hypotheses.

I enjoy all the concerts , ans that's all....and of course I keep good manners

[Deleted User 13688]

Why are we making excuses and enabling bad behavior? Because he is a rockstar it's okay to f**k up a performance? Shame on all of you who think it's okay.

Also, please dear God in Heaven, all of you, do not be taken in by a compulsive chronic liar on here.

I will stand by Scott, becuz he does have connections. He has been part of the North American fansite, scorpnews.com, far longer than Wolfgang has had this one. And I say this with the deepest respect to you Ben, he has the right to being able to post certain things he hears of. Why not? At least he isn't a liar that believes his own lies. Please give him the benefit of the doubt. But I highly respect you and your experience and what you know, Ben. I take my hat off to you.

Curry, I love ya girl, but sheesh, we all have different opinions and beliefs and I feel we have every right to voice them. I don't care what band we love, if we don't have our own minds and thoughts, then we might as well be robots. Nadine, you are my special girl, yes love James, but don't make him out to be this perfect man. Please. I don't like any of these guys to be given this god-like status. It makes me shiver.

AND about the TMZ report...where ya all been? It was JAMES who went to them to reveal his personal life. I am not getting it. What part of making him take responsibility for his own actions don't you all understand? There was a time I loved James like my brother, I still adore him, but I am not looking at him with rose-colored glasses. HE is not stupid either. He knows what he has done and in his heart, he has taken responsibility. But, who are we to enable bad behavior? It's called being enablers and it's not right

This band of brothers are a smart and wonderful band. They know they are not perfect. They also know that the fans, the true fans, will stand by them, even with the bad behavior. But you can bet your paycheck that the Scorps 3 do not abide the drunkeness on stage. That they demand professionalism and I am sure they have talked to JK. And that JK respects and loves the Scorps 3 so deeply, that he will be a better man and musican than the idiot rockstars that get too bombed and make mistakes and ruin performances.

It´s not about whatever happend in Pau or Nancy or Timbuktu, it is about always the same few "very important people" here start discussions about things they do not REALLY no what happend or why it happened? If anything is posted against the opinion of those few, there will be an attack immediately. Whats that good for? What makes these few to those experts?
Is it just the ability to read an arcticle in the web to make one self an expert, an insider? If Yes, what am I?
But do I post something annoying more than half of the community?? No cuz there is simply no need for me to do this. First I am not kind of character to make myself important and second; I am here to have fun!!! Leave it like it is ppl., just have fun here

And to all of the "Mr and Mrs. Betterknowing" here´s again my hint to You
If Ya don´t have a clue just shut the f**k up
Thats all from my side

cheerz

[Deleted User 13688]

I understand and respect what you are saying Ben. There are only the things I can say for sure that I know:

1. There is a pathological liar on here that sadly enuf has fooled some very good ppl throughout the years. And is well-known as that.
2. James did go to TMZ.
3. James has a deep love for his bandmates and therefore would not want to do anything to hurt them.
4. Scorps are pros who have maintained a very clean and staunchly bonded image that is to be admired.
5. The boys are not gods.
6. Ben is a loyal and dedicated friend, brother and hard worker for the band.
7. I am tired of the conflict, so thus I will stop at this last post.

Anyway, as you can see, I haven't posted anything that wasn't true.

The answer is simple...The way to get rid of this is for everyone to put them on IGNORE...
this way you dont see what they say..they will soon be having a 2 way conversation between themselves...
Result = A Much Happier Place!

Ben THANK YOU for having the guts to post your opinion...
If you wish to start a topic to rid the forum of this ugliness,please know I and others, stand by you.

I liked your German saying...
Here in the USA we just use the Letters STFU...
shut the F......well you get it.

Ben...
Please extend the FOS hallos to the band on the road...safe travels and good health to All of you..
