    I am disappointed, no James Kottak for the Vegas gigs, of which, I am at two of them…very disappointed.

    Matthias is so underrated


  • Doug on

    In my opinion, Scorpions have always been more about the 3 front men than the bassist and drummer, so Dee filling in should not be a distraction to concert goers.

      Have you ever seen and heard Kottak perform? he adds value to that ticket, he does more than sustain what’s already there.
