Comeblack
Comeblack is a live album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 2011. It consists of re-recorded versions of some of their classic songs, as well as covers of popular rock and pop songs. The album's title is a play on words, combining "comeback" with the color black, often associated with rock music.
The re-recorded Scorpions tracks were intended to offer updated interpretations of the band's well-known material. The cover songs were selected from a range of artists including The Beatles, T. Rex, and Small Faces, showcasing the band's influences and appreciation for other musical styles.
Comeblack was released following the band's declared intention to retire, although they later reversed this decision. The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the energy and musicianship, while others questioned the necessity of re-recording established songs and found the cover selections inconsistent in quality. Despite the mixed critical reception, Comeblack achieved moderate commercial success in several European countries.
