Usually Scorpions interviews involve Klaus, Rudolph and Matthias. In October 1990, Dan Gallagher got to talk to Herman “Zee German” Harebell, Rudolph Schenker and Francis Bucholz. Topics discussed include replacing producer Dieter Dierks with Keith Olsen, and Canada! “You know how to rock and roll!” says Herman.
Roger Waters’ The Wall – Live in Berlin had just been released. The Scorpions were asked to open the show with the first song “In The Flesh?” Dan inquires about that gig and playing behind the Iron Curtain, and then asks them to say “apple strudel”!
Check out this cool interview with the Scorpions, another great example of the kind of quality television we got with the Pepsi Power Hour.
Another great vid one which I never seen. Thanks for sharing..RIP Dan!

Do you remember he had another show later on in the 90s?
He was a presenter on the Juno awards, with John McDermott. McDermott comes out singing, “Oh Danny boy, Oh Danny boy, I’m sorry your show got caancelled…”

No I never seen that. Gallagher when he interviewed Bach and Aerosmith in LA was the funniest thing ever…Tyler was on fire …long live 1990
