У меня вопрос :)
Кто-нибудь видел какую-нибудь видеозапись этой песни? Мне не удается найти ничего, кроме слайдшоу.:(
Буду очень благодарна, если кто подскажет, где можно ее найти.

Неплохое интервью.

[показать] За апрель легендарные немецкие рокеры "Скорпионс" побывали в 12 городах России. Майне: Секрет прост: писать хорошую музыку, делать зрелищное шоу, которое нравится посетителям концертов, и главное - никогда не забывать вкладывать душу в то, что ты делаешь. В мировом туре Humanity. Hour One мы отыграли более 70 концертов - в 27 странах мира. И нигде мы не сачковали, не работали в полсилы. В музыке Scorpions есть страсть, есть искренность - думаю, это особенно важно для наших поклонников. Мы хотим нести людям свежесть и энергию, хотим, чтобы они жили в любви и радости. Думаю, что материал нового альбома как раз и служит этой житейской сверхзадаче группы Scorpions. *** А пока я хочу вернуться домой в Нью-Йорк (из родного Ганновера Клаус Майне давно переехал в США. - Прим. А.А.) и немного отдохнуть.

GLOBALROCKER “SCORPIONS”


“In Germany at the wrong place”


Abroad successfully, in Germany outsider. The “Scorpions” are on world tour, but in their own country they play no single concert. With SPIEGEL ONLINE they spoke about bad press, cudgeling extreme right-wingers and the insatiable desire to Hanover.

Spiegel Online: Mr. Meine, Mr. Schenker, Mr. Jabs, the “Scorpions are currently on world tour in America, Asia and Europe. In Germany, however, they play rarely – why?

Klaus Meine: Of Course Germany is very important for us, but we go where we have the strongest feedback. This is for us the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Asia – where we played in the last month. However, we played in the last of 2006 at the “Wacken Open Air” in front of first very skeptical Hardcore Metal fans. But that was amazing.

Spiegel Online: Affection you don´t get so much in your own country any more. A German critic wrote once, rock-connoisseurs couldn´t conceive of something more badly than to be friends of Scorpions. Cause of such press you never thought: “Germany don´t deserve us, we go”?

Meine: Well, we often ask ourselves, what would have been if we stayed in the United States at the middle of the 80´. Lately someone said to me, “So what? You would be an American band.” What makes us special today, to be a global band, we never would succeed.

Rudolf Schenker: Really? That´s the question. I already had lived in the USA for a time, unfortunately it wasn´t subserve for the band. As a soloist it´s not easy. But it´s true: If we would become an American band, we never could feel and integrate the political change of the 80´, with Perestroika and the fall of the wall in Berlin to our music like we´ve done it that time.

Spiegel Online: …when you wrote the soundtrack for the fall of the wall “Wind Of Change” 1989. How has Germany cope with the change, which you´ve conjured at that time and the reunion and unity?

Schenker: The best is that the fall of the Berlin wall was peaceful, no shot. Also: At which point, especially in the early days, things should or could be done a totally other way as they were done?

Matthias Jabs: The world cup 2006 has shown that Germany has a very great unity. That such a so great event like the world cup is managed by a unit country so nice and peaceful, that´s amazing.

Spiegel Online: Even the world cup showed some mistakes. A former speaker of the federal government advised foreign guests to avoid special federal states in East Germany.

Meine: Right-wing radicalism is the point where you get remembered abroad on your German descent. When a 18 years old MTV moderator asks you in Mexico city, how it feels to live in a country, where foreigners get hunted and beaten almost to death. Then the band is challenged to take a stand and show also the positive sites of Germany.

Jabs: Well, the world cup also showed that the Germans learned to deal calm with symbols like national flags, which was a big step to normality. In the conservative US media, for example “FOX News”, reported very badly about the European states which are not goes to the Iraq war. But even they couldn´t close their eyes for the pictures of black-red-gold flags and peaceful world cup fan festivals.

Meine: I think that in Germany the unit provides more critical than abroad. In South Korea we were driven to the border with a great press a few weeks ago and asked us about the subject reunion. In Korea they still dream about what Germany already has reached.

Spiegel Online: How did you experienced the fall of the wall in Berlin 1989?

Schenker: We were in Paris and had a meeting with the record company, a TV also run there. I was sitting with the back to the screen, all of a sudden Klaus said “Hey look, is it the wall?” It was amazing!

Meine: I often think how nice it would have been to be in Berlin in the evening of November, 9th.

Schenker: Oh like it was, it was also great.

Spiegel Online: Ironically the worldwide success “Wind Of Change” was the reason that the Scorpions as a rock band are not longer taken seriously in Germany.

Meine: On our latest album “Humanity Hour I” we let it rock harder and the rock world in Germany accept it very positive. But like it is: We were always outsider in Germany and that we are still today.

Schenker: We had this feeling very early in our band history, that we´re at the wrong place in Germany. We didn´t want to make “Krautrock”, we didn´t want to sing in German – our former manager even said, we need to change our name to “Stalingrad”!

Spiegel Online: You´re mainly abroad since decades, but you come back home from San Francisco, Paris or Tokyo to Hanover. With which feelings?

Meine: We hear that often: “Why you´re still living in Hanover?” That always sounds so provocative. But it´s great to come back home! Our families and friends lives here. Читать далее...

Ура!!!
Скорпионс заняли почётное седьмое место среди пятидесяти успешных немецких групп.








Translation of the interview with Klaus and Rudi


Klaus: We have never wanted to limit us. When we have started, we ever had the vision of bringing the music around the world. But we also came back here every time with pleasure.

Exactly 30 years ago Rudolf Schenker has built up the Scorpions. 1972 the first album “Lonesome Crow” released, 1991 the most successful album “Crazy World” with their biggest hit “Wind Of Change”.

Rudi: We were SO successful in our own country that the people sometimes did not want to listen anymore to the song cause it was played nonstop.

Oliver Geissen: You are loving me to death is it autobiographic or whose idea was it?

Rudi: This can happen, or?

Oliver: You ever been close to it?

Rudi: Every time in the Rock-n-Roll

Oliver: Aha, I see…

Klaus: This time it was a robot love.

Oliver: Can you guys realize the success that the whole Asian and American market has reacted so positive on it. I just have said it in the introduction that no other German band is so successful abroad like you. What makes you so special abroad?

Klaus: No clue. We went to Asia very early. We have played in Japan the first time 78' and recorded our first live album “Tokyo Tapes” there. It was a tremendous success. This has brought us to America. Naturally we went back to Asia every time. Not only Japan also whole South-East-Asia - Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, where we played again last year. I think they are very true fans, rock music is very popular there, the people know how to rock and we have so much fun to play in this part of the world.

Rudi: From the first time we have adjusted to the international market. It means, you must have a special “Vib” in the music which is global. I think this was why people all around the world have understand us and that is the point.

Klaus: And I also had sung Japanese!

Oliver: You had sung Japanese??

Klaus started singing “Kojo no Tsuki” a Capella….AND NO PLAYBACK!!

Oliver: I can not say now if it is grammatically correct, but it sounds Japanese.

Klaus: No that is ok.

Oliver: You are not any longer 20 years old, when you perform on stage it is finally a physical act – a world tour. Where you get the physically motivation when you reached everything 3 – 4 times? Gold records, platinum, all awards! That you still say “that is so awesome, we move on!”?

Klaus: We had so much success in the 80s especially in the USA. Then we have had the feeling in the 80 that we never had the chance to play in GDR, they never let us in, so we said “ok, let us go to Russia!”. Via Budapest/Hungary we went to the former Soviet Union and had played in former Leningrad, now St. Petersburg. Moscow one year later, the legendary Moscow Peace Festival. This were new inspirations what we have experienced and now it is the same in India. We went there not the first time in December 2007. We have played years before in Bangalore. We have played 3 big shows there in December. It is unbelievable, the enthusiasm of the young people and how they get crazy about rock music, know all our songs and sing along. We are so amazed by ourselves and totally enthused.

Oliver: I think your fans are so happy that you are looking every time for new challenges and you do not say “ok, now we make all 3 years a small German tour in some clubs and do not get stressed.” , but that you are still looking for new challenges.

Klaus: We have seen it on so many shows, especially in Middle East. We have played in Israel, in Tel Aviv. We have played in front of the pyramids, open air in Cairo, we were in Lebanon, a big show in Beirut. When young people told you “ In the times of the civil war when we did not had power during the night and in the one hour we had power we have listen to your music and we did not knew if we would survive. “ So it means, you can convey so much hope with music, it is not only “Hey let's rock” you can facilitate so much and you can built bridges with music.

Oliver: We would wish that you will look for new challenges in the next 20-30 Years and that you will rock for a long time. Thanks for being here. Thanks Rudi, thanks Klaus

„Wind Of Change“ in Manaus

Live against wood clearing

With the biggest rock concert in the history of the Amazonian jungle the German band Scorpions has contributed their share for the protection of the “green lung” of the earth. Along the lines of “Stopped the wood clearing! Without Amazonian no future!” the musicians around singer Klaus Meine enthused more than 30000 people, who came together in Manaus, on Thursday night. “The people were crazy, they never saw something like this before”, wonders Daniela Montalto from the environment protection group Greenpeace Brazil.
The concert was over only after two and a half hours at 3am. For the start of their South America tour Scorpions support with this a Greenpeace campaign for the protection of the biggest jungle area of the earth. More times the musicians stopped their show and the recording of the DVDs “Scorpions live in Manaus” to signalize the meaning of the jungle for the planet.
“We just missed a show at Amazonian to make our career quasi complete” explained the musicians, who became known worldwide with their rock ballads and riffs like no other German band, before the show. The Brazil rain forest is a symbol of the life on the planet, explains the 59 years old rock singer from Hanover. With this concert they wanted to wake up the people that also the last people realize how important ecology is.
“The time in case of rain forest protection expires”, Greenpeace warn meanwhile. Nearly 1000 endangered plants- and animal species are in the Amazonian jungle this time. 700000 square kilometer jungle area got ruined in the last 40 years – that corresponds two times the area of Germany. With this Amazonian have lost 17 percent of the original area. Researchers assume that the Amazonian rain forest will change into a steppe when more than 40 percent is ruined.
