The Scorpions whistling merrily as ever ...

While David Hasselhoff's carotid artery one threatened to burst again and again before he finally umgesungen the Berlin Wall, it took at Klaus Meine no more than a melodic whistle, only to force the entire Soviet bloc to its knees. Well, the Lower Saxony hardrockers always knew just how to do it.

Even today, the ancients tell in the light of energy-saving lamp of an aspiring rock troupe that toured in the '60s with an old bully by the county to rock music all relevant scales between Downtown and Sarstedt Hoheneggelsen broken. A good twenty years later saw with CrazyWorld another classic from the SCORPIONS forged the light of day.

But perhaps they are better off on the big stage, this impression anyway the live recording of Crazy World Tour 1991 which can be found on the bonus DVD.

It's a crazy world, but the SCORPIONS can put up with your jewelry Deluxe Edition of the classic Crazy World and nearly a quarter of a century after its first publication still points properly. And as the saying goes: It aint over, till Klaus Meine wistels! or something like that.
