The German rock veterans will perform in Moscow again - this time with a symphony orchestra.
In November 2011, the group released the COMEBLACK collection, it will be presented in Moscow along with the best hits of the team. The concert will be held with the participation of the Sofia Symphony Orchestra symphony orchestra.

Scorpions concerts in a new symphonic format will take place on the Crocus City Hall stage on October 22 and 23, but the founder of the group 65-year-old Rudolph Schenker arrived in the capital of Russia in advance due to the Moscow 2013 Music.
“I decided to participate in a music exhibition, first of all, because Gibson introduced a new version of my name guitar of the Flying V model in your market,” said Rudolf ITAR -TASS, recalling that he is the owner of the world's first acoustic version of this instrument. “In addition, I like to get acquainted with the work of young groups, to feel the breath of the future, I love new ones The trend at the exhibition was a great opportunity to thank you all for many years of support. "
“I heard a number of Russian teams and I can say that if they do not stop in their development, then a brilliant future awaits them,” Schenker added.
“The spectrum of the meanings of the word“ rock ”has expanded incredibly today. Most people can’t even really say what rock is. In many ways, the situation was influenced by grange and punk, as well as an“ alternative ”. It comes to the fact that some even call pop collections of rock bands. And the reason lies in a mixture of styles,” the musician noted. “Personally, I like the punk team Green Day. And which genre can be attributed to the Kings of Leon?
Commenting on the idea of introducing the legendary Scorpions hits with a symphony orchestra, the musician said that "this idea has been in the air since the 1980s, but until recently it was not possible." “Now we have grown significantly in a professional plan, we have rich experience and we can record a truly outstanding acoustic album,” he emphasized.
Shenker noted that the group made completely new arrangements about 25 songs, but upset the fans, saying that in the foreseeable future it was not necessary to expect a full -fledged studio disk from Scorpions. “As we have already said, we have no plans to return to the studio, and the album“ Sting in the Tail ”will remain the last in our discography,” Schenker summed up.
