宣可音樂管道

這世界除了政客會騙人說他要退出政壇，樂團有時候心裡的癮犯了，也會衝動說出這是推出樂團的最後一張專輯，結果又自打嘴巴發了下一張專輯。好吧！宣可願意用比對政客更寬容的標準來看這些搖滾老骨頭就是了。2015年Scorpions再次說他們最後的一張錄音室專輯"Return to Forever"，在最近主唱Klaus Meine自己出來回應2010當年說「退休」是個錯誤…(2018.9.8.更新)以上圖檔原文連結http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/klaus-meine-on-scorpions-2010-retirement-announcement-we-realized-we-were-wrong/ (以下是2010年原發舊文)

搖滾老團Scorpions已經在官方網站上宣布，他們在美國今年3月23日發行的第17張專輯Sting in the Tail，將是解散前的最後一張專輯。

宣可聽著這張專輯，Scorpions維持著一貫的質感，可是即將在音樂生涯不算黯淡的時刻選擇退場，難免感慨。

It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you – whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.不論是台上現場演出，或是在錄音室裡錄新歌，一向是我們的樂趣、生命的目標、我們的熱情所在，我們如此幸運能為你們創作音樂。

While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpion’s extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.我們在幾個月前努力著最新的專輯，我們可以清楚地感受到這張新作有多強勁及富創意，而在這過程中我們依然充滿了樂趣。但我們也決定了一件事情：我們希望天蠍合唱團的不凡音樂生涯能急流勇退。我們非常感恩，我們擁有組團之初對音樂同樣的激情。但這也是為什麼，特別要選現在，我們接受這終將走到路的盡頭。我們現在做出一張自認為曾做過最佳作品之一，並從我們的祖國德國開始演唱，然後用未來數年到五大洲巡迴表演，做為生涯的結束。

We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years!我們想要你們–我們親愛的歌迷–第一個知道這個消息。謝謝多年來你們永不終止的支持。

We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album for you.

And now… let’s get the party started and get ready for a “Sting in the Tail”!

See you on the world tour,

Yours Scorpions
