SCORPIONS Frontman: 'Music Has Been An Integral Part Of Our Communication With The Youth'

December 7, 2007

According to India's Moneycontrol.com, German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS will perform in Mumbai and Bangalore this month as part of the band's Humanity World Tour 2007-08.

SCORPIONS will play in Mumbai on December 14 and in Bangalore on December 16. Humanity World Tour 2007/2008 takes the group right through Europe, North and South America and Asia.

"Direct contact with our fans is our biggest source of inspiration," says the band's frontman Klaus Meine.

"Music has been an integral part of our communication with the youth. And what better way to connect with our fans than to bring their all-time favorite band SCORPIONS closer to them! This is going to be a high point for music lovers in the country, after the very popular 'Hero Honda Campus Rock Idols,' a nationwide contest of amateur rock bands."

"There are a lot of people who say that the classic concept album is dead. We don't see it that way, so we are swimming against the tide again with our new 'Humanity – Hour I' which is a mature album, with lyrics that are often provocative and deal with the dark sides of the world we live in. At the same time though, we are sending our fans a positive musical message, telling them not let the insanity going on around us every day get them down."
