Scorpions "Unbreakable" set for June 22nd release (2776 words)
With "Unbreakable" 2004 Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs are going onto the musical offensive with a typical Scorpions coup: Pawel Maciwoda is the new bass player of Germany's globally most successful rock act.
Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs are three musical individualists, who have been time-travelling together since 1978, without regard for the changing fashions and ethos of the moment, on a common musical journey through their own Scorpions universe.
Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs were shaped by the hard rock pioneers of the 60s, by bands and musicians like Spooky Tooth, The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin and of course The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
