The good thing with this album is that Klaus wrote the lyrics first, which we’ve never done before Rudolf Schenker Mikkey always insists that we have proper endings to the songs, so that is something we also have to work on. When we are all standing together working on the songs, it’s easy to come up with ideas and try them out right away. I will come up with guitar arrangements and some riffs as well.
Jabs Rudolf will prepare a basic demo – the chord changes and sometimes a riff – and then we all work on them to turn them into the final song. I was living in Thailand when he was sending me the lyrics, and I would drive around, picturing how the songs should sound, remembering the way we would feel when we were playing live and touring. The good thing with this album is that Klaus wrote the lyrics first, which we’ve never done before. Greg Silverman, who was originally scheduled to produce before the pandemic hit, made suggestions for a couple of songs, so we gave him a credit, but otherwise everything – the writing, playing and producing – was done by the band. Schenker We wanted to make the album without any outside writers. You can play for eight hours, and he never tires out. He has a really positive personality and he’s great to hang with, so he brings a great vibe to the recording process. Jabs He’s a really good drummer, which helps recording everything live. Mikkey has a special kind of attack, and I think we bring the same feeling, which sounds very natural for Scorpions. When everything is perfect, it is boring. Schenker I think Mikkey plays very slightly in front of the beat, like me, and this gives a very live feeling to the songs, because there it feels like the beat is almost being pushed. This is the first studio album that you’ve recorded with Mikkey Dee behind the drums. We made ‘Rock Believer’ like we made ‘Love at First Sting,’ where we were all standing in the room, all playing the basic tracks live Matthias Jabs We made Rock Believer like we made Love at First Sting, where we were all standing in the room, all playing the basic tracks live. Bands tend to use programmed drums and fly things in, and we’ve done the same things ourselves on recent albums.īut the fans told us that it doesn’t have the liveliness of older records when we record that way. I think the way that we recorded it is the best way to do it. Schenker I think the fact that we played live in the studio contributed a lot to that raw sound. The production is very raw, and also live sounding. Looking back, I think we found our signature sound in the early ’80s, and you can hear, without any outside influence and advice from producers, that is still what we sound like. We wanted to make a rock album for the rock community. We wanted to go back into the center of what Scorpions should be, because sometimes we have been a bit too polished. Schenker We wanted to make a rock album that was not too polished.
It’s very much the record every Scorpions fan would want to hear. We wanted to make a rock album for the rock community Rudolf Schenker We knew exactly what we wanted though, which was to capture the DNA of Blackout and Love at First Sting. Rudolf Schenker Yes, we were in our own bubble in the studio, and we could work on it as long as we wanted – but without overworking it, which can sometimes be a problem. We decided that we’d have to produce it ourselves, but that turned out to be the right move, because we had no outside influence and could really concentrate on doing exactly what we wanted to do. The circumstances were different from how we recorded in the past, because the pandemic forced us to work by ourselves, as the producer that we’d chosen couldn’t come to Germany, and we couldn’t go to L.A. Matthias Jabs I’m really delighted with the result. Finally, all this extra hardware might be capped off by a vast increase in storage read and write speed with solid-state drives based on the next generation PCIe 5 interface.Rock Believer is one of the strongest records in your catalog.

Those new designs should make DDR5 memory a lot cheaper and more accessible, and new, more power-hungry GPUs are coming in with an upgrade to ATX 3.0 power supplies to turn them on. A new generation of CPUs in Intel’s 13th-generation Core designs and AMD’s Ryzen 4 architecture could be a huge leap forward. But isn’t that always true? Yes, but right now there’s a confluence of new tech that’s right on the horizon.
