SCORPIONS is set to release Return to Forever – its eighteenth studio album on February 23. We talk to guitarist Matthias Jabs about the the new effort and:
– the link between the album title and the jazz project with the same name – including Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Frank Gambale and Jean-Luc Ponty;
– 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);
– and many more….
and interview conducted by Vassil Varbanov
