SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine spoke to The Greek Scorpions Fan Club Team recently for an upcoming three-hour radio special on their new album, Humanity - Hour I.

"I can't believe we are still together doing this and releasing another new album," says Meine. "I'm very happy with this album and people will figure that out. It's one of the best Scorpions albums in a long time. It could easily match with our best works out there along the way. And looking back in a couple of years we will say that this is another milestone in the Scorpions career. I tell you something, when you're making an album like this and you see what's going on in the world of music, in the music industry and the record companies. All the downloading, the internet, all this new technology. It is hard to know what the future will bring. I'm not saying this is our last album, but it could be our last album. You never know. Where do we go from here?"
