Filming started in twenty eleven during the scorpions former farewell tour the camera crew accompanied the band on many appearances including throughout their tours of the us france and thailand in the end it was a challenge splicing together all the footage. I wanted to tell the stories that i found the most impressive often in the end i mainly looked for personal and entertaining moments moment. In twenty ten the farewell tour was planned as a goodbye to the world stages but along the way the musicians got so much positive feedback they changed their tune and said goodbye to the go by. The sleeve of that in life we wrote the script a little because the film was meant to show a career at its end with the last concert. But as is often the case in life when you want to leave they wont let you but i got became very them just as i wish. The whole fisher who is now the head of d ws Culture Department was the one who came up with the idea for the first big documentary on the scorpions. From the start we had a big screen film in mind its always more. Adding for the filmmakers and the audience to have big films to have big projects that are ultimately fascinating and of course reach a much wider audience. Than. The mere party forever and today is also a dream come true for the scorpions. This internal think its a wonderful film and of course were happy about getting all of this positive feedback see a positive history to. Live the amazing story of a group of young guys who set out to conquer the world of rock. American berlin forever and today showed in theaters around the world and is now also available on d. V. D. I. Think the head of their farewell tour the scorpions recorded their seventeenth studio album staying in the tail shot to number two in the german charts the first hit in our pop export scorpion special is a single release from that album and its called the good die young. Youre. The a. Living im saying. This be. The end. Of the. Live. Lives of. Live live. Live live live live. Live. Live. Live. Live live live celebrate. This little. Live. Live live. Live. Live on the scorpions mark their Fiftieth Anniversary with another highly successful album return to forever for the album they shook the dust off a number of older and previously unreleased songs and some new tracks were added to the mix as well. Live live. Live. Little he built this house. As the first single release from the scorpions album return to forever it marked the bands fiftieth birthday and made it clear that the scorpions was still going strong. And a music is a passion you cant just stop its probably the most important part of your life you cant just do something completely different tomorrow its not possible. They started recording the album in twenty eleven. The plan was to revive and complete some older and previously unreleased material. Shows a lovely numbers from the eightys so we always said we would return to them one day we have always had an excess of songs you can only fit eight or nine tracks onto an lp there were always some that didnt make it to the album in the end. But as they worked on return to forever new ideas in matched so the final result is a mix of new windows. All the tracks have that unmistakable scorpion sound. What we have done is revive the magic of those years in the present day. The. Magic began in the mid nine hundred sixty s. When the young group came together near the city of hanover. Guitarist. Seen here on the far right go to group together inspired by english bands they wanted to make it big like their idols the running stones on the small faces. Charges and so i was a time the early years where we were really ready to run the extra mile and that required a lot of passion and enthusiasm. Playing. In the late one nine hundred seventy s. The scorpions conquered japan the u. S. And south america whether retch monsters of rock all rock in rio think belong to the top acts at all of the major festivals in the 1980s. Lets just say that was the fastest rise within the scorpions career before that it was steady and from then on it wasnt easy to go any higher but it was always steady up until that point and then all of a sudden we just shot straight up things weve got over. The scorpions took the next step appearing for the first time in the soviet union. But yet later they were at the moscow music peace festival. Around that time of winds of change their biggest hits was written it became an anthem for the political changes in germany and eastern europe. Does what i was trying to express and wind of change was the hope that the world would change and that we that our generation and hopefully future generations too would live in a more Peaceful World and the cold war would end. Nine hundred ninety s. What difficulty is for the school fee and classic hard rock have become less popular fans wanted to hear alternative rock. Concerts didnt sell out any more. As to this is its musicians are very sensitive whether you want to or not you feel the mood out there and the feeling especially in the second half of the ninetys was that the music that we made the classic kind of hard rock was totally out old fashioned. Their classic old time out from old station. Coffee and had to reinvent themselves they recorded that album moment. Glory was the but then destroy the title track was the official song of the expatriate thousands welsh in their hometown of hanover. This one against that was a special challenge to perform not just with any orchestra but with the berlin philharmonic and that gave us a big boost into the next decade when the so were not nuala gave.
