- the terrible recent loss of both SCORPIONS' manager and tour manager;
- how the band managed to still have the reputation of the most popular German band and still not singing in German;
- with 'Wind of Change' being a huge international anthem 25 years ago, what would be the title of a new song talking about the current climate (Ukraine, Greece etc);
