Scorpions Platinum Collection CD CoverAwww! I just saw that the 1980s rock band Scorpions was in town last night playing a show at Dubai Festival City.

Bon Jovi on Wednesday and Scorpions on Thursday?

Dubai must be setting up Dubai Bad 80s Rock City ...

What's next? You guys going to have a Beatles reunion using robots for John Lennon and George Harrison? Dubai's music tastes seem to be moving slowly back in time.

It is nice to see those guys still get to do shows. Imagine going through life and all you want to do is ROCK, but your definition of ROCK went out of style in 1991.

Apparently they still travel all over the world, kinda. This was the best paragraph that I didn't include:

“We’ve just arrived from Siberia and can’t wait to play in Dubai,” said Klaus Meine lead vocalist and songwriter of the band, who incidentally will also be celebrating his 60th birthday in town.

I can see the headlines now: SCORPIONS ROCK SIBERIA!

Or even: SEXAGENARIAN SCORPIONS ROCK SIBERIA!
