Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker exude more pep than might reasonably be expected of two 77-year-olds. When Classic Rock talks to them they’re still buzzing from their band’s 60th-anniversary homecoming show in Hannover, Germany, and their general vibe chimes with the spirit of the title track of Scorpions' 2022 album Rock Believer.
As men still smitten and sustained by the genre after which this magazine is titled, Scorpions are big on the restorative power of riffage, and big on turning the spotlight on their fans. When vocalist Meine sings ‘I’m a rock believer, just like you’, it rings true.
