When Metallica is ready to retire, James Hetfield says he is against the idea of a 'Farewell' tour.

James Kottak has sought help for his drinking problem that recently resulted in a month in a prison in Dubai.

James Kottak been in prison ever since an airport outburst before a Scorpions performance last month.

James Kottak allegedly shouted drunken and derogatory remarks at other airline passengers upon arriving for a concert. He has been convicted of insulting Islam.

Special guests and NSFW antics are par for the course at any Steel Panther show, and when the band took the stage recently at the House of Blues in Hollywood, both were in plentiful supply.

Former members of Dio, Whitesnake and the Scorpions will take part in a four-day, two-city music event, with special shows focusing on the music of Cream and the Scorpions.

Hurricanes don't need amps, and neither do the Scorpions. The venerable German rock band is unplugging for its next release, a CD/DVD package of its recent 'MTV Unplugged' appearance.

Until this, Germany’s favorite hard-rock sons had enjoyed a remarkable run of success since the start of the '80s.

Three years after telling the world that they were taking their amplifiers and heading home, the members of Scorpions have reconsidered that whole retirement thing -- in fact, it sounds like their upcoming schedule will keep them as busy as ever.

The mother of Scorpions singer Klaus Meine has died. Erna Meine was called Hanover, Germany's "Rock Granny" before she succumbed to the damage caused by a stroke in early October. The 92-year-old matriarch to the country's greatest rock band died on Oct. 25, according to Bild.de.

Often when a band breaks up, they take a handful of years off, then get back together for a tour. If that works well, then they get back into the studio for a new album. The Scorpions have subverted that formula, first by deciding not to break up, but also by announcing that they are working on a new album.

Last year, the Scorpions announced their decision to call it a day after one final tour. But as new concert dates and recording projects were added to their plans, they began to question this decision.
