Scorpions vid

Yeah, but they are supposedly retired and their last album was only last year anyway and they've been touring since then. No time to write or record a new album. They did the old songs to get control of them, and the covers are just tossed in there to fill it out.

Personally, I'm getting annoyed with these re-recording albums. I like re-imagined old songs, but faithful re-recordings are just annoying. It's the same song to all but the most discerning fan. I know why they do it though, record companies control the old classic recordings.
 
Great video. I love the Scorpions but they could've put out more originals instead of covers and remakes.

Except I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these were done during the recording of the last album or so. Also, just recording covers takes less time. Bands seem to do it a lot when they're going out. Ministry did the same thing when they were supposedly retiring.
