“When our album Crazy World was released back in ’91, right at the end of the cold war, we toured around a world that was pretty crazy back then, but there was so much hope in the air for a more peaceful future. Now 26 years later, things are getting more crazy every other day. After all these years, Crazy World is still a good motto for our upcoming world tour. We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you out there,” states Klaus Meine.

I think it is so cool that the Scorpions are still out there touring and putting out new music after all these years! They have always been one of my favorite bands! And a tour with Megadeth, my absolute favorite of the BIG 4? I would LOVE to get to see this tour!! I hope they play somewhere near here! If so, I AM THERE!!
I’ve seen the Scorpions on every tour since ’84, and there ain’t nothing in this “Crazy World” that’s going to make me miss this one! 🙂
I like the Scorpions. There was a brief window where I liked Megadeth. But it’s a weird pairing. Neither one opening for the other sweetens the deal for me.
I love Megadeth’s music, and really enjoy Scorpions, too. But, in my opinion, this tour just doesn’t seem like the right “fit” with both bands together.
Not complaining, just find it interesting that Megadeth is opening. It’s a short tour so I get why they’re doing it. Just surprised Scorps can afford Megadeth.
