This year marks the 50th Anniversary of The Scorpions. To mark the occasion they have just released their 18th studio album "Return To Forever" as well as embarking on a celebratory world tour.

For those you that want the scoop on this years Scorpions plans (and who doesn't) we have a guy with the inside scoop, drummer James Kottak on the show this week. James called us direct from tour rehearsals and graciously gave us a nice chunk of time out of his very hectic schedule.

You can find James on the web at: http://www.jameskottak.com/

The Scorpions park their site at: http://www.the-scorpions.com while you are there check out the tour dates and maybe buy yourself some tix.

And of course be sure to grab a copy of "Return To Forever".

And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.
