The Scorpions are one of my all time favourite bands, especially some of their early “hard rock” repertoire, but I am not talking about that type of scorpions today.
I am really happy how these plastic toy insect scorpions have turned out. I will use them for my Egyptian Silver Bayonet campaign that is almost written.
Incidently the lead singer of the German hard rockers Scorpions, Klaus Meine, has revealed he changed the lyrics of Wind of Change because he no longer wanted to “romanticise Russia” with his chart-topping perestroika power ballad, after Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
“To sing Wind of Change as we have always sung it, that’s not something I could imagine any more,” Klaus Meine told Die Zeit. “It simply isn’t right to romanticise Russia with lyrics like: ‘I follow the Moskva / Down to Gorky Park … Let your balalaika sing’”.
Instead, he said, his band had decided to change the words to their most famous song during their ongoing US and European tour, which opened in Las Vegas on 26 March, a month after the start of the invasion.
The revised lyrics, projected on to a screen behind the band now say: “Now listen to my heart / It says Ukrainia / Waiting for the wind to change.”
Great work on the Scorpions Dave, great colour variation in the armour plates. There’s a band that has a moral compass, and enjoyed there music
Thanks Dave
Cool idea.
I saw the Scorpions play in Sydney in 2020, they were touring with Whitesnake. Really good show
Lucky B8#@%$d!
Nice work on the scorpions! 🙂 Spiders I’m fine with but scorpions give me the creeps!
Any creepy crawly is yuck!
Loving the Scorpions. The mettalic ( I cannot spell iridescence…ir maybe with the help of autocorrect I can) look works really well.
TA. Just a quick red and then blue light dry brush!
Very nice Dave.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete.
Where we used to live, we had the smaller variety. Quiet, fast, creepy little buggers. Yours turned out really nicely! I haven’t listened to the band in a long time. I heard Rock You Like Hurricane a lot during my high school years though!
All bugs are creepy!
I kind of find them fascinating, haha!
