New album coming.

[flyingvee]

I just spotted this, (noticed Paula did too). Interesting that they will do a new album of these tracks from the Blackout and Love At First Sting era but I don't like the part of re-writing almost all the lyrics. This sort of tells me they are removing the lyrics Herman might have done, and lets face it, his lyrics were one the ingredients to those great songs.

James and Pawel are not under contract for 2013 with the Scorpions..So this project might turn out to be very interesting..

[onecrazysquaw]

Scott good point! ( need to fill ya in on something in a PM ok )
As for James and Pawel, they may hire them back briefly , but I say this cuz of a certain incident that happened in 2012.

Andrew, Thnx hun..lets share that all over facebook!

I am excited to hear them old sounds....
I agree ,Hermans lyrics were iconic...soooooo...

lets just hope its not another pile of *** like the last one that they raved about

[fantasy]

Matthias jabs sayd about this in a recent interview, that they tried to keep the spirit of thoose songs , the spirit of when they were created ..with a little more modern sound..

i hope so longs and many soli lol
crazy voice and not a modern sound ( very heavy or 2 steps down !!) otherwise, it will be hard to hear the soli or to have fast and furious riffs lol

What's very curious are the words M used and that is they are "rewriting" the lyrics.....why?

I Believe it was already stated:

"Scorpions are adding new parts to the existing recordings, while most of the songs "didn't have proper lyrics, just blah blah blah blah working lyrics. So in almost every song the lyrics have to be re-written.""

We may not want to jump to any conclusions about Herman's lyrics being taken out if indeed there even is any.

[JüZe]

I'm waiting for - than i see and hear!
Why not new lyrics? I don't know who write the old lyrics and it's fact: the most was only "blablabla"
And i think the style is beside the STING IN THE TAIL CD
Hope for graet songs, great soli and a great voice > like ever, a typical Scorps CD, yessss!

Matthias is talking about lyrics to the songs never released..not the songs we all know and love.

[ChopStixx]

Looking forward to adding this new album to my collection.

[Gabi6912]

In my opinion it's a cool idea.
It will be exciting, and interesting to hear differ lyrics with the melody we all have allready known.
I will be curious of the new lirycs.

hmm.. thanx for the link, Del very encouraging words, that Klaus is saying there

and, as for the new album - it's a good news for me - I'll impatiently wait for its release, and then, only after I listen it, I'll say my opinion

[YNWA]

"I don’t want to say too much right now but I can reassure you there is still life in those bloody old Scorpions."

Hell, yeahhhhhhhhhhh! That`s the spirit, Klaus! Can`t wait for the album, really! I have a gut feeling, it will be really smashing!

Thanks for the link, Del

Where is this a fact? If the songs were demoed and on tape it had to be more than blah blah blah lyrics. Plus its well know that most of the b-sides released in that era were heavy on the Herman lyrics. In fact while Herman had no credits on Face The Heat, the two b-side singles, Partners in Crime and Rubberf***er were Herman songs lyrics-wise.
This is sort of a let down, they find all these songs from what was their best era, so why go and change the essence of them? I can see that for unfinished lyrics where you add to it, but why omit the exisitng ones and do all new lyrics with no other reason other than to snub someone.

And lets not forget, this album might still hit a roadblock because of they were taken from the vault of another party who might very well have a say in them.
