One of the greatest rock bands ever.

How crazy that Klaus and Rudolph are 74 - they still have very young minds... even Matthias is 66 and still rocking like a teenager. Saw them recently (Pine Knob) and they sounded great, voice was strong and they were tight. Just an amazing show!

[@Synathidy]

I wouldn't have thought they are as old as they are. They look really good. And they still seem totally into music. Still writing. Passionate musicians, in it for life.

[@aflacko478]

Same here, saw them may 03 24’ in Vegas and MAN, so much energy they didn’t have backtracking and they all sounded SO good

[@hmetaljustin]

Happy the Scorps are still around and have a kick ass new album!

[@DieNetaDie]

Legends. Every friend I knew, and I mean EVERY, had a Scorpions poster in the late 80s/early 90s. And I am from Nepal.

[@yankeerose9011]

Y'all rock our heels off!! ❤🤘

[@chenzenzo]

It's crazy because both of the men sitting next to Klaus are proud and incredible, but Klaus has this calm about him that is contagious. The Scorpions songs have uncanny ability to relax me when I need to relax, and give me the intensity of feeling when I need it. Scorpions are one of the only bands that can do this. ❤

As a musician, I'm really fascinated to hear about their songwriting process. Legendary band.

[@chrisslooter2825]

This interviewer did a very good job. It's rare I ever would say such a thing.

[@martifoddrill9587]

[@ridehead8771]

Rudolf to this day hasn't lost the enthusiasm, I can see there's half gas in the tank for these guys!!!

[@user-po7rc8fs1b]

Oh! Now ' am 50 Older 🤗...

[@mikewiest5135]

Awesome. I’ve been a fan since the 80s, saw them a few years back at Madison Square Garden in New York City - awesome.

[@shatteredstiks7392]

Whoa a new scorpions album man I'm behind

[@michaelleblanc5396]

How did he injure his hands.....my all-time favorite guitar player.... Lynch close second

[@lesleymetthews4590]

Rudy is right about chemistry, when Matthias was struggling a bit recently with his hands Rudy stepped up and foward.Matt is the better lead player but Rudy is solid rythmn and energy,man down,steps up.Matthias is better now.

[@oliviamcginnis3819]

Itsnt it crazy how accents pretty much go away when people sing or is it just me ? Just me ? Ok.

[@leeoslayer3190]

Ok, I only tuned in to see MICKEY DEE....rock god drummer...outa here..
