Yap. News from scooterplanet.ru:

Anticipating a new Scooter concert that will soon take part In Moscow, a Russian web-site zvuki.ru has published an interview with H.P. Baxxter. You can find it's full version here. And I'll just mention one interesting and very intriguing question that was asked during the interview. That question has always been very important for many Scooter fans, and this time it was not left unanswered! The question is about the band's third member, Michael Simon. All the Scooter fans know that every four years one of the band's members is replaced by another one, e.g.: Ferris was replaced by Axel, then Jay Frog came to take Axel's place, and afterwards Michael appeared as Jay Frog's successor. Four years have passed since then, and many Scooter fans started asking themselves whether Michael will also leave the band, and if he will, how soon will that happen. And now it looks like we finally know the answer to that question (all thanks to zvuki.ru). Here is an extract from the interview that confirms my words:

«Zvuki.ru: How well did Michael Simon fit in the band, considering that he joined it not so long ago? It was in 2007 when he joined Scooter, wasn't it?

H.P. Baxxter: In 2006, to be more exact. He is with us for four years now - wow, that's quite while (laughing). Mike is a great guy, and a wonderful musician, it is so nice to work with him. By the way I think that there will be no replacements in the band for a long time, as I would like us to keep working exactly with Mike»

So, this is how today's news look like. By the way, I highly recommend you to read the complete version of the interview (in Russian).

Thats great to read

I hope Chapter 4 lasts for many years!

Bad translate from an application i found, if someone could fix it...



H.P. Baxxter is among the most violent frontmen of our time: his almost feral Creek is known even to those who do not belong among the permanent inhabitants of the dance floor.And how to make one of several thousand screaming dancing hall - Baxter knows like nobody else. On the eve of the Moscow concert Scooter musician opened some of his secrets.

Zvuki.Ru. What do you expect from the upcoming concerts in Russia?
HLB Pi Baxter. Oh, wait a variety! We currently undergoing a big European tour, and we'll go to Russia immediately after the tour in Germany. So, hopefully, by the time we come to you, you at least melt the snow! (laughs)

Zvuki.Ru. You - frequent guests in Russia, but certainly there is still something that you would like to see or hear? What are the plans to rest after a concert?
HLB Pi Baxter. We are not so much and can see that in Moscow, in St. Petersburg, because it usually starved for time. There are, of course, certain mandatory program. In Moscow - to go to Red Square, in St. Petersburg - the Hermitage. That is, in fact, we behave like ordinary tourists, which show the main attractions. As for Russian music - we sometimes pass after the concert recording of various Russian musicians, but here's someone or go to the concert - just no time.Although, who knows, maybe this time we will have more time.

Zvuki.Ru. How are the fans from Russia, say, German?
HLB Pi Baxter. It is difficult to determine, no, really! While there, your, Russian, still insane Germans, they abruptly break away at concerts, and meet us at the hotel ... Perhaps, the Russian fans of more "clockwork", usually German Hall "rocking" song on the second or third, and Russia's fans "ready" from the first notes of the concert.

Zvuki.Ru. Recently you have happened to two interesting collaborations - from Bloodhound Gang, and Status Quo. How do you deal with two such different groups?
HLB Pi Baxter. Works fine! As Bloodhound Gang - we do old pal. Therefore, what we signed up together - it was a matter of time, sooner or later we would have something necessarily uchudili.We did something similar, like to rock out and have fun, and all of you with a sense of humor.And with the Status Quo - it turned out that our managers are familiar and so when we decided to use the song "Jump That Rock!" samples hit Quo "Whatever You Want", our managers have agreed that this will be a joint project. We have reduced and recorded the song, and Status Quo joined us on the set of the video clip. They are wonderful with them was very easy and pleasant to work - and, I think we've made a great clip!



Zvuki.Ru. I have with someone of the legends of rock music would like to work?
HLB Pi Baxter. I think that any joint projects only happen because they happen - so the circumstances are added. Not that I sat and thought about how would like this to work with someone ... No, any specific dreams there, but I think it is not our last collaboration with rock musicians.

Zvuki.Ru. A few words about the new album - "Under The Radar Over The Top". How is it different from your previous work, what's new you would like to demonstrate to their fans?
HLB Pi Baxter. Good question, because it is so we tried to make our new album - and the innovative and traditional. On the one hand, we tried to make an album that appeals to all fans of Scooter, but at the same time - wanted to add something new. And we recorded a record that demonstrates the full force of Scooter, I think. Then there are songs that are intended to "shake" the hall, and experimental stuff. In a word - this disc shows us the way we are now, all of our musical experience to this point.

Zvuki.Ru. It's time to maturity and wisdom?
HLB Pi Baxter. No, we still love to have fun and come off as ten or fifteen years ago.

Zvuki.Ru. And even your new member - Michael Simon (Michael Simon) - also shared with you the fun? As he, incidentally, fit in the team since he joined the group recently, it seems, in 2007?
HLB Pi Baxter. In 2006, to be exact. He has four years with us - not bad! (laughs) Mike - great guy and a great musician, we have great working with him. In general, I think that today the group will not change for a long time, I would like us to continue to work it out with Mike.

Zvuki.Ru. What would you like to wish all of Russia's fans?
HLB Pi Baxter. And the unbridled joy of separation at our concerts! We have prepared for you a special program that will play new songs, including - "Stuck On Replay", which became the anthem of the World Hockey Championship, and some other things from the new album. Well, to be sure all the old hits, how else, we do not forgive us if we do not play hits!

Zvuki.Ru. And expect fans to concerts any surprises?
HLB Pi Baxter. Of course, where the same without them!

Zvuki.Ru. And what?
HLB Pi Baxter. Can not say. After all, if I reveal all the secrets - what, then, it will be surprises!
