The popular band Scorpions will bring rock music to the country and will "Rock You Like A Hurricane". The said concert is part of the band's "Humanity World Tour 2007-08" and will be sponsored by Hero Honda Motors Ltd, the world's largest two wheeler manufacturer and a joint venture between Hero Group of India and Honda the producer of quality of Japan.
Scorpions will be going to Mumbai and Bangalore this month for their Humanity Tour as part of promoting their latest album "Humanity-Hour I" which was released in May this year and has become a huge worldwide hit. The gap between the latest album and the band's previous worldwide hit album "Lonesome Crow" in 1972 is 35 years. And in such length of time the iconic band have produced other hits such as "In Trance", "Tokyo Tapes", "Animal Magnetism", "Savage Amusement", "Face the Heat", "Eye to Eye", "Moment of Glory", and "Unbreakable".
The Scorpions are scheduled to perform at Mumbai on December 14 and will be in Bangalore on December 16. The Humanity World Tour 2007/2008 will take the iconic band through Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
According to the band's front-man Klaus Meine: "Direct contact with our fans is our biggest source of inspiration. 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." Meine also considers the Humanity-Hour I as the most powerful album ever created by the band after the global success of Crazy World in 1991.
Matthias Jabs said: "We have delivered a strong body of work over the years and are more confident than ever."
The Scorpion is one of those rare bands that can fill the biggest stadiums wherever they perform. And early March of this year, the band returned to Moscow at the invitation of the Russian President to give a concert in the Kremlin. This is an honor bestowed only to a relatively few Western artists.
