Scorpions Album & Tour Will Definitely Be Their Last
The band aren\'t planning a rethink on retirement
Despite the band recently releasing an album of covers (Comeblack) after they had previously claimed that they wouldn't be releasing any more albums they are not planning a rethink on their retirement plans.
Speaking to Bravewords.com Rudolph Schenker revealed that Comeblack wasn't a "proper" album and fans shouldn't read anything into it.
"We told the fans, when we started the world tour, and we told the media, that this will be the last tour and the last studio album. And we will stick to it. Comeblack is a side-project. It’s something that we did, but there are no new songs on it."
In the extensive interview (which you can read HERE) Schenker also revealed that the band had a massive amount of unreleased studio material, live material and live footage so we can certainly expect a box set, a new live film and other assorted goodies before they're done.
"We have our library; in our warehouse, we have tons of bonus material. Remember from the vinyl days, there were only nine songs on an album, and we always recorded around 14, to find out of the 14 or 15, which songs we wanted to put on the album. So we have a lot of songs, and what we want to do, especially after we finish, we want to give the fans a box or something, maybe with bonus tracks from the Scorpions, and maybe another film on DVD or Blu-ray, with a live concert of The Scorpions, which will be happening the end of 2012, the beginning of 2013."
