The Scorpions... questions?

Imagine the Scorpions coming to India. There would be no way in hell any journalist would get a chance to come a 100 meters close to them, leave aside a one-on-one interview with the 37-year-old legendary German rock band.

Ok, maybe NDTV, or Aaj Tak might get it. Maybe.

But chances are, no one would.

But here in Qatar, things are a little different. First of all, I'm coming across as a journalist, rather, probably the only one, who knows a little bit about the Scorpions.

In the first press conference to announce the band's concert in Doha, there was a question thrown in by a journalist asking, "What sort of music are they going to play?"

You get my point?

I owe a lot of my life in Qatar to the Scorpions. It was because of that press conference that a few people spread the word to a few cool ones around that "a funky cool dude from Gulf Times was asking some really cool questions."

And the cool ones got in touch with me. Hence began my life in Qatar. A life with some great friends, some great times... The winds of change had begun.

The Scorpions are performing in Doha on November 10 an acoustic version of 30 of their best tracks ever as part of the five-city Middle Eastern Peace For All Tour 2005.

The five-man band will be arriving in Qatar on the 9th, that's day after, and I will be meeting them for a one-on-one question answer session.

So, let me know if there are any questions that you might like to ask them (make sure they're a wee bit intelligent). If it isn't about how many times they still wanked off, I'll make sure I get you the answers.
