I don't mind remakes all that much actually, that recent Straw Dogs remake was actually better then the originla IMO. Also I'm no fan of the original Footloose, so that's one remake I couldn't care less about if I tried. The only remakes I truly hate are those of foreign horror films like Shutter and One Missed Call, the remakes of The Stepfather and The Fog were pretty bad too.

So I guess it isn't all re-recordings:

Quote:

According to the French SCORPIONS fan club Crazyscorps, German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS will release "Comeblack", a collection of re-recorded versions of the band's classics songs, on November 4 via Sony. The effort will be made available as a CD and on double vinyl. "Comeblack" track listing: Re-recordings: 01. Rhythm Of Love 02. No One Like You 03. The Zoo 04. Rock You Like A Hurricane 05. Blackout 06. Still Loving You 07. Wind Of Change Covers: 08. Tainted Love (GLORIA JONES) 09. Children Of The Revolution (T. REX) 10. Across The Universe (THE BEATLES) 11. Tin Soldier (SMALL FACES) 12. All Day And All Of The Night (THE KINKS) 13. Ruby Tuesday (THE ROLLING STONES) An audio sample of the re-recorded version of the band's 1984 classic ballad "Still Loving You", re-titled "Still Loving You - Je T'Aime Encore" and featuring a guest appearance by the French 2009 "Pop Idol" winner Amandiner Bourgeois, is currently streaming on the Charts In France web site. The track is expected to appear on the French version of the "Comeblack" album. "Still Loving You - Je T'Aime Encore" will be available for download in France on October 10.

Interesting set list on the covers, he is doing a T. rex song, then doing a song by T. rex (Marc Bolan)'s lover and mother of his child Gloria Jones, who was behind the wheel that killed him.

I'm not sure if I want to hear a Scorpions version of "Tainted Love" or not.

I wish they'd re-record "Send Me An Angel" .

Boring set of songs. They decided to re-record songs that everyone already loves. It probably is so that they own the rights the recordings, but it's still disappointing.

Sting In The Tail was one of my top 5 albums last year.

I had given up on the Scorps a long time ago but that album rekindled my interest. This re-recording crap put out that fire in a hurry.

Wasn't going to pick this up if it was just re-recordings but now that there are covers on it, I will.

Nothing interesting.

I'll skip for sure...

that Stones cover seems interesting to me...

Speaking new releases by Scorpions:

Might pick this up on Blu-ray if the picture quality is good, I hope it comes with the CD included.

Just had a look on their official site and I seem to read that it will be a MediaMarkt exclusive (so possibly exclusive to Germany and not availble for online purchase)

Currently listening to this on Spotify. The songs are no different than the originals except that they are worse (no alternative re-recordings) and the covers are just pointless.
