Hi,
Wenn ich die Package gewinne, ich schenke sie an meinem beste Freund. Er ist wie ich = Scorpions Fan seit 1988 !
Ich habe schon ein Buch für mich… aber er, noch nicht !
Beste Grüsse Lars aus der Schweiz !
I would like to give a Christmas gift to Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, because of the war that they are living. My gift to them would be the Scorpions song “Under the Same Sun”. Just to teach them how to live in peace and make a revolution.
I would like to give RYL christmas package to Alice Cooper cause he looks pretty.
Hier ist meine Geschichte. Ich habe die auf Englisch geschrieben, weil ich diese Sprache besser schreiben kann. Ich hoffe, dass sie Ihnen gefällt :-) Danke für die Möglichkeit, so etwas zu machen!
__________________________
If I win the Christmas package, I would offer it to my boyfriend because it would be the perfect gift for him. Why perfect? Perfect because our story began and is always going on thanks to the Scorpions.
He lives in Spain and I in Switzerland but we knew each other because of the Scorpions’ forum one year ago. Some time after speaking there, we decided to go to a Scorpions’ concert together in Germany in May 2010 (Munich).
When we met there for the first time “eye to eye”, we fell in love and since then we are together and all the best is happening to us. We see us every month during some days and we are just waiting to finish all we have to do in our countries for leaving together.
We have also seen one another Scorpions’ concert together in November and we are planning to go to see much more next year in Europe.
So, without the Scorpions, we would have never met nor known. And for him as for me, we know that the other is the love of our life. The Scorpions are the reason of our meeting and what made us live such a perfect and nice story.
The other reason why I would really love to give this gift to him is that he never had the chance to meet the Scorpions in person. He is listening to them since he was born because his parents already were listening to the Scorpions and they are his favourite group, as for me.
I am convinced that receiving the book signed by Rudolf and you would make him such a joy! I do not think he could believe it if it happened.
Moreover, I would also feel so happy to give it to him because everything that has something to see with the Scorpions makes us remember how we met and is for him something very special to receive with a true meaning.
Furthermore, we have read a couple of chapters of “Rock Your Life” together and we enjoyed it a lot reading it together so… having this book more “special” than the normal one would give him nice memories while reading again the same chapters that we were reading together side by side.
I believe Christmas is a time during which you have the occasion to make people feeling this way and I think there would not be any other better gift than this one for him.

Hello, my name is William and unfortunately I still can not write and speak English and so I’m using Google translator, and I sincerely hope that you will be able to understand what I want to convey.
To be honest I almost died of heart when I saw these awards are available to you one of thousands of fans. And I can say with all certainty that I would be lying if I said I wanted to give these gifts for anyone but myself, hehehehe …. (I’m crazy by Scorpions)
But as the idea of promotion is to offer a person, I would be happy to honor the person who made me watch it on TV at 4 years old the news of the fall of the Berlin wall, because at that moment she aroused in me greatest love of my life, SCORPIONS!! I was ecstatic to hear the famous whistle Klaus, the unmistakable chords of Rudolph and Mathias, …..
That was really a magical moment for me was like I was flying around and making me go to another galaxy, everything to me at that time was enjoying this trip and did not want to have returned once again reminded that I was only 4 years age. From that moment I so enthusiastic about the Scorpions, who got the majority did not lose any
That’s my story and I hope sincerely
This Christmas present I would like to give to a David Czomperlik, because I know him as a real crazy Fan of the Scorpions and also I know how happy he will be, if he gets this present.
Make people happy, if you can!
Sooy de Argentina, le agradezco a Rudolf por haberme hecho el mas feliz del mundo, cuando vinieron el 13/9 y tocaron en el Luna Park estaba a 2 metros de Matthias y no lo podia creer! Van a sacar el libro en español?
Hi Lars, I’d like this for my Ashlie, my wife. Apart from being the best wife in the world who will do anything for me she is my best friend & soulmate.
We are both huge Scorpions and Rudolph fans and travel a lot to see the band live. In past two years we have travelled to California (4 shows), Arizona, around the UK, Latvia. We are also planning to go to the far east next year to see them. We love traveling and meeting people, especially fellow fans and have made some great friendships with fans around the world.
She has been through some difficult times and this has made us both appreciate every second of life and we make the most of it. Rudolph’s zest for life and energy is a great inspiration.
thanks,
Phillip
I wanna give it to my daughter who listen to Scorpions all day long! She start to learn german just to can understand you when you do some interview! And she is pretty good! She try to find it but she don’t find it… So for christmas, please choose me and I will make my daughter the hapiest daughter of christmas! Sorry If my english is not very good, I’m french, Quebec. Rock Your life and keep going!
Hi Rudy, Lars!!! My brother made me listen to ScorpionS when I was a child in 1985. I`m 33 now and I think he is the person who I must say thanx for those days… so I would like to give the pakage to him (we`ll share it, of course!!!) Thanx to Rudy for the phone call in 1998 and for receiving from me three banners (the last one I could give it to him in his hands after 6 six hours waiting for them in a cold night!!!) Thanx to all of you for making so many fans very happy and for your advices of hope and possivite thoughts you always give. Best wishes for all the family of spiders this Xmas and have a very very very happy new year… ROCK YOUR LIFE AND KEEP ON ROCKIN` LIKE A HURRICANE!!!!!
I think this story is truly a story about Rocking someones life. I have always been a Scorpions fan,and I play the Scorpions music frequently. My twelve year old son was forced to listen to his parents music in the car,and disliked most music his parents listened to,except for the Scorpions. It was love at first listening for him,and he became a true Scorpions fan. Since I have been a fan for over 20 years,I decided to go to a Scorpions concert as they were coming to Atlanta Georgia,90 miles from my hometown. I ordered the tickets for the concert one month in advance,and I cannot say that my 12 year old son waited patiently for this concert. Everyday for a month,Jonathan kept saying he couldn’t wait any longer to see the Scorpions!! Finally the big day arrived,and we all saw one of the best shows on Earth! This concert was one of the best days of Jonathan’s life. The concert inspired him so much,that he decided to start taking electric guitar lessons,and has now received his second electric guitar. Every morning before school,I do not need to go upstairs and see if he is up and ready,I can hear him rocking out to his Scorpions CD! Everyday he tells me about another 12 or 13 year old friend he has introduced the Scorpions music to. I feel with the decades of music out there now,it is unique that a twelve year old boy has chosen the Scorpions as his favorite band, is sharing the love of the Scorpions with his young friends,and has inspired him to play the electric guitar. You have have truly Rocked his Life!!
I want this gift for Christmas to win back the heart and the love of a girl, which we are now separated. The book itself is very interesting and helpful, and can only make us believe in the forces and our dreams, I hope that this Christmas is my miracle, namely that we are again with the girl I love. There is nothing better to touch the books of the author and he with eprevarne in our memory and part of our relationship. All I want for Christmas are not expensive gifts. all I want is the presence of loved ones to us.
I would love to give it to my son.. I am sure the book would inspire him. He is a inspiration in my life. He loves the Scorpions music and Rudy. My son is one of my greatest gifts in life and I would like him to have the great gift of this book.
Hallo Lars, hallo Rudolf!
Ich würde es meinem Sohn Michael (8) zu Weihnachten schenken, da er a) schon genug Spielzeug hat und b) er u.a. die SCORPIONS unheimlich gerne hören mag! Da käme ein solches Geschenk gerade recht ihn und seinen Musikgeschmack dadurch zu unterstützen und die “Tradition” als Scorpsfan in unserer Familie so weiter führen zu können!
Gruss

Id like to have it to send to Ruta .. shes such a great fan .. taking time from her trip to the usa to not only see the band , but she made herself available to meet other fans from the website
I’d like to give it to my brother Alexander :)
Thanks to him I know Scorpions, I love Scorpions and simply adore them ;)
First, I gave him the concert ticket as a B-Day present and now I want to make him happy by giving him this Xmas present. In my opinion, this is the least I can do to thank him for taking me into the world of Scorpions songs!
Love :)
I would give the present to my brother, thanks to whom I have learned a lot about the Scorpions and thanks to whom I became a huge fan myself! Rock on!
Hi Lars, I’ll give it to Paul Gagné, one of my best friend, and a psycho-maniac of Rudolph Schenker !!!! Sure he will go berserk for that !!!
I dream of such a Christmas gift! Well I just wanted to hold this for me! I can say that I hear scorpions since I was born because my father was also a big fan who has just died. And every time I hear certain songs still give me want to cry because it reminds me a lot.
I still remember having 5 years and love the music of the Blackout.
but still managed to attend a concert of this wonderful band that is rampant ele.só not seen inside the party because he was only seven years when they came to the dam.
but now is my biggest dream to watch the first row of a concert of them, or perhaps even lead them to know what I can say that is completely dedicated to them, my tribute to them! my room.
well I like to win this award because my chances of buying are not very big, but I make the impossible possible and to have got much stuff from them, so that in ca ortugal is very difficult, so even having taken the estrangeiro.era really what I’d love to win this Christmas: P Merry Christmas to all
I would really like to give this gift to my dear friend Michelle Siebenman. She is a die-hard Rock n Roll fan. She loves the Scorpions and their music. Their songs really inspire her and touch her heart and soul. She has been listening to them since she was very young. I think that this would be the perfect christmas package for her because she would really enjoy this and it would mean the world to her if she opened this gift on christmas day! So please consider Michelle Siebenman for this Rock Your Life Christmas package. Thanks so much. Happy holidays and God Bless!
I would like to nominate a woman who is quite possibly the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, Michelle Siebenman. She’s pratically a mother to all that encounter her in their lives, she’s always whole-hearted and kind even after the hard life that she’s been through. She LOVES Pantera and many other bands of the time. I know that there will be many others that would love to recieve this great gift but i think she deserves it most.

This would be a perfect gift for my friend and second mom, Michelle Siebenman. She has been a die-hard Scorpions fan for many years and their music has been so inspirational for her throughout her life. She deserves this gift so much– she’s one of the most loving and compassionate people you will ever meet. It would seriously “rock her life” if all the people she loves could nominate her and win this present for her, and I would love to see the joy it would bring her to see this package under the tree on Christmas day. Please consider making her wish come true.
It’s a really hard choice, because it’s a real treasure and I wouldn’t like to hand it over to anyone ;)
BUT! If I were to give it to anyone, I’d simply choose my parents. Why? Because they always laugh at me when I tell them all that stuff about the Scorpions, the shows, the people who I meet thanks to it all. I want them to understand it’s not only about the music the Scorpions have created but it’s much, much more – it’s the way of living. I think the Rudolf’s book would point them perfectly all that things I want to tell them by myself. My dear Parents, you don’t have crazy daughter! :D Not to mention this tiny detail that if I gave it to them, this book would still stay at my house. It’s a mere trifle!
The last thing is to say – why for Christmas? We all know it’s a very special time, when we are more opened and have more kind attitude. We also have more time so there’s a hope they would make a use of this book and really read it.
Hi. I would like to give this special X-MAS gift to my son. He is 19-years old, he writes and composes music and he is also a very big Scorpiosn fan. I wish that he will have a fantastic future with music and the most important thing, he likes what he is doing so like Mr. Schenker said ” if you like what you do, you will reach your purpose”. That would be great for him. I think thats all I wanted to say. He will be more than happy with this fantastic gift. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hallo Lars und Rudolf.
Ich würde das Geschenk aufteilen, das Buch würde ich an einer Freundin schenken die zur Zeit überlegt in welche Richtung ihr Leben weitergehen soll, den Schlüsselanhänger würde ich meinem Vater schenken, weil der auch Scorpions Fan ist. Bei… dem Poster würde ich drum bitten das mit Auogramm ist und es dann meistbietend vergesteigern und das Geld an KinderLeben e.V spenden, da ich KinderLeben für tolles Projekt halte, was ich gerne unterstützen möchte und jeden Euro verdient…Die Sticker würdeich, bis auf einen, an meine Freunde und andere Scorpions Fans die ich kenne verteilen und was ich mit dem dehydrierten Skorpion machen würde weiß ich noch nicht, vielleicht auch versteigern und das Geld an die Jose Carreras Stiftung für Leukämiekranke spenden.
Viele Grüße aus dem eiskalten Dänemark,
Sarah
Excuse me if I’ll write too, but they can be sure it will be all heart.
I hope you can understand me, because I do not write English very well.
Hello everyone, my name is Giselle. With all certainty that this is the dream of many fans. I am a Brazilian fan, and very dreamy indeed. If the question is to whom I give this wonderful gift, it becomes very difficult to answer, because who would not love to win this gift for Christmas? I own me a gift! Why not give myself? After all, I’m a good girl haha. My dream would be very consumer *-* win this wonderful gift, best Christmas present that a fan can have. I have saved in memory and heart, all messages sent to you each wept tears of joy, every song heard with great pleasure. I want just here to express my feelings and my passion for you, that passion is very, very long … All I’m saying is that you are simply amazing! And I want to thank you for the incredible work that has been doing during those 40 years of career, do not know how much you are important to me, a band that made me see the world through different eyes, a band that taught me a lot to live life , made their music and my daily soundtrack that I simply can not let this love so immense true. Their songs and melodies so perfect, that pack a lot of hearts bringing happiness into the lives of many fans, these songs are unique and that there is no other like it. Even if you can not see me, know that you have stored in a very special place in my life. I love you so much not only by the band, but the incredible ability to love and respect you show for their fans. Like Klaus, Rudolf, Matthias, James and Pawel, I would one day have the opportunity to meet them. Scorpions When the name came into my life, changed everything, my thoughts, my way, my style, or better say you changed my life. Scorpions is not just a band, is a philosophy of life, my life philosophy. It is a band that revolutionized the world of rock legend the great GERMAN HURRICANE will be in memory of all. A German band successful and contagious. I want to thank you all the moments that moved us and made us laugh, whether at home listening to the music or the shows that are always very excited and happy for everything and very significant. My history with the Scorpions is pretty cool. It all started when I was quite small, my uncle a big fan of the Scorpions too many years, I made the album Savage Amusement, just fell in love. That’s what I call love at first sting was brainwashed, it was very amazing! Every day that goes by my love for the Scorpions increases. In 2008, in Recife able to achieve my dream of watching a show, it was wonderful to see them over there so close, I remembered to raise the head and especially thank God for giving me the opportunity to be there, fulfilling a dream many years. Literally I’ve done many crazy things by Scorpions, has slept in front of the hotel in 2008, waited hours and hours, just to be close of my idols. And this year, 2010 could once again enjoy going to concerts, Joao Pessoa never be the same after the last of the Scorpions, the show was fantastic, there’s nothing more spectacular than able to attend a concert of this band. This time I excelled in his madness, was from evening until the arrival of the Scorpions at the airport, waited in the hotel, and very early I had to go to the stadium waiting for the big day, so one of the first and most annoying fan Joao Pessoa hahaha. But I can say worth it, unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to meet them, but I hope one day to fulfill my dream maybe going to Germany, so I will come to you! Yeah.
At the same time, it is fascinating to see someone and you feel like as if it were their own family. You get to cheer for the happiness of that person. In a gesture of generosity, a fan can always pray that God will bless someone who does not know it exists. It is a kind of pure love. A love dedicated, sincere smile that comes from someone that you cannot distance. Sounds kind of soul! I am proud to be a fan of the Scorpions! Not only for music goes far beyond that. The relationship between a fan and an idol is much greater than you might imagine, although it does not know and even though they may never have seen, the relationship of complicity never die. Who is not a fan of someone, can not understand it. Some fan is the mother or father, grandmother or aunt, but more than that is a fan of someone who never saw in life. How can this be possible? It may sound like, but it is. Some people can never understand this. Being a fan’s admiration, respect and care. You dedicate yourself, wishing well, is to love unconditionally, you understand, you understand.
So all I am a fan and I’m glad that my love is not directed to empty but the very special human beings.
Hallo Lars, hallo Rudolf!
So here’s my little story.
If I have the chance to win the package, I’d give it to my mother, definitely.
At first, I think I couldn’t give her a better present for christmas. She is a die hard fan since she’s 30. I offered her concert tickets this year so she can see the band, at last.
She gave me this passion for The Scorpions, and more importantly for Music, which I’m very grateful for.
Besides, I’ve been reading your book for a few days, and I really think she’s going to like it too, and fit her own philosophy as well:
I spent my childhood listening to her saying that everything was possible as long as we believe in it, and he helped me much in every thing I did so far.She doesn’t rock her life, but “paints” it,actually,with the most cheerful and bright colours.Another thing I’m grateful for!
Then, it’d be a valuable reason to make her improved her german… but I won’t develop it more in case she passes by the website, because if that the case I’d probably get a phone call : ” Hey ho! What’s wrong with my German?”
More seriously, I think that would make her very happy, and that’s what matters most to me.
Well, it’d be the perfect present, for the perfect mom, and most positive woman.
I wish you both a great Christmas, and give you my best wishes!
Greetings and love from France.

Ich wurde mich selbst die Package gegeben weil ich bin die grosste Scorpions Fan hier in mein Stadt, Teresina in Brasilien. Ich habe Scorpions zweimal gesehen. Ich brauchte reisen um die Konzerte zu schauen. Scorpions rock my life and I think I deserve the package
Ich würde das Buch meiner Freundin Sandra schenken. Sie ist 25 Jahre alt und wir kennen uns schon seit 14 Jahren. Sie hat schon einiges mitmachen müssen im Leben, u.a. 2 Nierentransplantationen. Sie ist eine echte Kämferin, klagt nie und “rockt wirklich ihr life”!
I would give a Rock Your Life package to Santa Claus! It’s Holidays season and if Santa feels inspired to rock his life, he wouldn’t only spread the message of peace and love but also ROCK N ROLL. With my experience I realized how rock n roll brings people together with a feeling of brotherhood,peace, good times, perseverance, friendship, love, honesty… and that’s something the world is in need of. Happy Holidays!
Hello, my name is Bruno and I’m from Brazil. I can not speak English so I’m using google translator, I hope you understand my words.
I wanted to honor its own Rudolf Schenker, for so many years he has offered his fans the best songs of the rock world, not only Rudolf deserves this honor but also all members of the Scorpions. I am very grateful to everyone.
I also would like to honor a friend (Nina) who showed me the first time a song of Scorpions, the music was “In Trance” fell in love with music in the first instant of that day since I became a big fan of the Scorpions. And that is why I want to honor her, he showed me a great band. I have not had the opportunity to meet close to the Scorpions, but I believe that one day this dream will be realized.
Cause I was raised on rock
Cause was like a hurricane
Cause I love: Scorpions
Cause I want to win the Rock Your Life
Cause The Best Is Yet To Come.

Wenn ich es gewinnen würde, würde es mich ganz besonders wieder Motivieren auch als Treuer Fan von Scorpions weil ich in Moment sehr leide mit meinem gebrochen Fuss und Probleme mit meinem Atemwege!Ich habe irgendwie seit Wochen bisschen aufgegeben an mich !Weil weiss nieman so richtig ob es heilbar ist die Erkrankung mit Atemweg!und Finanziell geht es mir auch nicht sehr gut! Und immer hat mir etwas besonders mit Scorpions immer wieder Hoffnung gegeben seit meinem 5 Jahren alt war nicht aufzuhören und zu kämpfen deshalb bin ich so richtg fasziniert und Fan bis Heute von Scorpions auch geblieben!
Viele Grüsse an Lars und Rudolf
I have been a Scorpions fan my whole life and the reason behind this is my mom Michelle Siebenman. When I was a kid, she would play the Scorpions on the way to school and I began to love the music so much I would always listen to them before my soccer games. Compared to other moms, she’s the best because she’s still a die hard fan. When I come home from college every now and then I know I can go to her and listen to the Scorpions with a beer and have a great time. This gift would mean so much to her and I don’t think there is anything else she would rather have.
If I’m going ti win the book I will definitely give it to my beloved boyfriend. He’s a huge Schenker fan and surprisingly we met on Scorpions Forum and all things begin. I know he can’t speak German and neither do I, but his passion for Rudolf Schenker is undeniable and I will be totally pleased to make him happy.
Well if I won this the person I would gift this to is my friend Lucia, we are very close and she is like my older sister, she has often helped me out through many tough times in my life and gave me alot of helpful advice as well to which I have done the same for her and I would like give her this as a thank you because I think she would enjoy the book greatly . She is also one of the kindest people I know who can make friends with any person no matter who they are. She is a big Scorpions fan as well since I send here some of the band’s music so I always try to recommend her their music all the time and it’s my wish that she can experiance seeing the Scorpions in person next time they visit Slovkia
I think I would give that book to my father because he was the one who initiated me to your great music about 6 years ago! At that time and age I was listening (as every 11 year-old girl do) to that idiot Greek pop music that teenager’s radio stations used to play! But my dad didn’t like it! As a rock ‘n roller for many years he wanted me to get into that magical world! And he did….! One day he put in the cd player your record “Love at first sting”. The title says it all…! It was love at first sting! I loved your songs from the first note! They have everything that I wanted! Great melody, great lyrics and a great amount of energy! Isn’t it what real music is? As many songs I was listening as much I was starting to understand that you were born to touch my feelings! That year’s summer he took me to your concert! I was shocked! I saw you from the first line playing with such passion and I told to myself “that’s how I want to be!” As a result, I asked my parents to buy me a keyboard for my b-day! They were more than happy to do so! They enrolled me to the only conservatory that was in my little town and I started to play my very first songs! But I realized later that the classic songs that I was to play weren’t what I really wanted to do! I wanted rock ‘n roll, ok? So two years ago, at Christmas, I found my dad’s old electric guitar (a late 70′s Ibanez Pf-230) and I decided to learn to play… The rest is history! Me and my guitar…. Love at first sting…. An indescribable feeling! For the first time in my life I was doing something really exciting, something that I really wanted to do! When I touch the strings I feel like I can conquer the whole world! There’s nothing more… Just me and my music! My teacher says that I gotta study music when I finish high school… I’ll definitely do ‘cause that’s my passage to happiness! And anyway, Scorpions have tought me much more than this! For example, because of you I dare to choose! Before starting listening to your songs I was a will-less girl who didn’t ever says what she wants because she was afraid of being misunderstood! No more! Now I’m full of energy and I am a part of all the activities that my school does! I’m gonna feast a teen from Cyprus and I’m gonna direct a movie! Isn’t that fascinating? And of course I was shocked when I was informed that in 3 years you’re gonna retire! I didn’t want to believe it that my fave bands will soon end their career! Damnit, I’ve seen you just 3 times live! You’ll be missed my dearly beloved scorps! But I know something very importand“The best is yet to come…” And of course I don’t regret everything that once made me smile, I rock my life! Cheers, Eugenia, 17 years old from Greece!
Da ich das Buch schon habe, würde das Package bei eBay versteigern und den gesamten Erlös einem wohltätigen Zweck spenden.

If I won the “Rock Your Life Christmas Package”, I would very much like to give it to my brother, David. Unfortunately, my brother died in an industrial accident in February of 2000. Here is his story:
When I was growing up, my older brother was by far the biggest influence in my life. Our dad worked for the FBI and was away on business a lot, so my brother was the only male influence in the household most of the time. We spent many days out hiking, biking, skateboarding, snowboarding, and going to concerts. From the early age of 7, my brother had me listening to AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, and many other heavy metal bands of the era. In 1983, we moved to San Antonio, Texas, and a whole new world opened up with local radio that played a wide range of heavy metal. It was that year that I was introduced to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Dio, and of course, The Scorpions. My life was changed with all this new music, and I spent the next 17 years listening to it almost daily with my brother and going to as many concerts as we could. When he passed away, I vowed to myself to never let one day go by without telling myself I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. I would not fail to try something simply “because I might not be good at it”, or “because I‘m too old” to try it. Losing my best friend and brother taught me to never take anything for granted, to always appreciate and enjoy every day that I’m alive, because we never know when our time will come to move on to other realms. And I don’t want that time to come and feel regret for not at least trying something that I set out to accomplish. But most of all, it taught me to live life to its fullest.
To this day, I still listen to all the 80s metal that my brother and I listened to while growing up, and not just because it’s the best music there is, but it helps me to still feel close to my brother even though he’s not physically here anymore.
If I won the “Rock Your Life Christmas Package”, I would present it to my brother’s wife, who has had a very difficult time over the last 10 years trying to move on. “Rock Your Life” to me has many meanings, and the one I would like to convey to her is to live every day the best that you can, to never accept defeat, to never take “no” for an answer, and to strive to be who you are truly meant to be.
I would like to give the ROCK YOUR LIFE Chistmas package to my father because he is a fan of SCORPIONS, he really loves the songs and he gave me the chance to know the music of the band. Thanks to him I became addicted to SCORPIONS. At beginning of year I received the best news of my life: SCORPIONS’ shows in Brazil this year. In September he took me to another city (São Luis) to see the best show of my life. It was a night to remember. The show was on his birthday and he gave the entrance of the show as a birthday present to himself. But it was also a big present to me. Now, at Christmas, I want to repay this big present with the ROCK YOUR LIFE Chistmas package to he always remember of this Moment Of Glory. He would be very happy if he receives this gift of his favorite band. If I win I will make a big surprise for him.
Hi Lars and Rudolf,
I have a very great friend, Thomas, the “fos daddy” on scorps forum. And I would like to make a Christmas present for him as this “rock your life” book. And let me tell you why. Tom is not just a scorpions fan like all of us are.. He’s one of the most kind and open-hearted person I’ve ever known. In the middle of 2000s after unbreakable release coz of Tom lots of fans from all over the world got united with the atmosphere of “family” and it really meant to so much to us to join the family of spiders.. And FOS still exists! Look on banners at the concerts..there are always FOS representatives.. Well, back to Tom: he didn’t unite ppl only by being fans of scorpions.. He’s always ready to help other fans. He buys tickets on concerts to others who would like to go but can’t buy a ticket. He buys CD not only to himself but to other fans also. For example he sent me a Sting In The Tail USA release with guitar picks. He presents CD’s with scorps music to friends, to kids, to pour ppl also which can’t buy by themselves. He promote scorps around more than any other fan could do.. And he’s the most positive and optimistic person who never gives up!..and I’m going now to read the joke of day posted by him. I’m sure that many other persons would agree with me that Tom really deserves this book for all the best he does to his family and friends!
KEEP ON ROCKING!

I would give this package to my 7 yr old son Nicholas. He listens to the Scorpsions in the car when we go places. He knows alot of the songs too!
Rock on to the next generation!!!
I would like give it to my friend Vidu. He comes from Sri Lanka and lives in Czech Rebublic. I can´t read this book in germany:( but my friend is big fan of Scorpions and he is good in germany language. So we can read it together. He will translate it for me:) and we both will be happy. Christmas time is just perfect for this!
We are good friends but in last 2 years he was still busy:( he has no time and I miss him. Maybe he will stop for reading this book. I know this would be brilliant in his Scorpions collection:)
Greeting from Ostrava!
I would love to give this gift to my mom, Michelle Siebenman. She is a single moher of four, all of whom were RAISED ON ROCK!! She is a wonderful woman who takes care of everyone else before herself. She works her ass off at a job she hates so she can provide for her family. How does she unwind? She blares Scorpions on the way home and blew out her car speakers :)She inspires everyone she meets, and I know this book would inspire her. This would be the best Christmas present ever, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving.
I would like to present you with this package for Christmas a very SPECIAL FRIEND, his name is Anderson.
Why would I give this gift to him?
Well I do not know him personally, never seen FACE TO FACE, but we have an unusual friendship in MSN. A friendship full of ups and downs, many fights on MSN, but an unwavering friendship, which even HURRICANE could be devastating.
How it all began:
Well our friends at MSN on December 14 will complete one year and nine months (a coincidence, it is up to date when we can send our history to compete for this wonderful gift and one more reason to want to give this gift to him. And lest you think that is thrown my way to prove that I have, for all 14 days of each month, I send a message to him).
It all began on a Saturday night, more precisely on 14/03/2009. I never liked much less INTERNET and MSN, but a friend of mine insisted on making one for me so I knew people in the virtual world. I accepted, but it was hard for me to get on MSN. One afternoon I went online to see photos of the band Scorpions official website and get photos of Matthias to a friend of mine who is very fond of him, but I did not know how to save and send pictures to her email, so I called this friend who had MSN for me, and suddenly appeared on the screen an invitation, but I do not know it was an invitation I thought it was a virus, but my friend told me it was someone wanting to make friends with me and I was to add him as friend, and I confess that I was afraid, the only friends he had on MSN and he knew well that was my friend and my nephew, why not add someone who knew where it was? But anyway I added as my friend said if it was not a nice person was just delete it.
But one night just a night of 14/03/2009 22:30 I went on MSN and to my surprise I saw online and thought, should I call him to type? I decided to call. Putz! I never imagined in my life I could find one person WONDERFUL AND VERY, VERY SPECIAL BUT EVEN!We were typing on MSN until 02:00 am and friendship that made this more special is that we teclávamos as if we had known each other for a long time though. We did very well so soon face. It was amazing! And it was so incredible as you can see I know all the details of that night, and the details are such that you can not even mention to everyone here.
Time passed, and I every day I clung to him more, but then I met him I just went on MSN on Saturday night, stayed the whole week without talking to him, and I feel deeply miss him. I started noticing that my feelings for him was taking other paths, other paths, and this was evident when I began to feel an uncontrollable jealous of him, and because of my jealousy that we began to fight a lot on MSN, but he always walked around and ourfights.
But on 05/07/2009, last time we spoke on MSN, because of another fight and this time not through MSN, but by means of an email I sent to him, he was just 65 days without talking to me . He went on MSN and I called for him, wanted him to answer me, but nothing! She sent e-mails were many, many even came to be 3 or 4 per day and every day and no answer. Finally on 07/09/2009, a holiday here in Brazil, on Monday I saw online and as I knew he would not answer me if I called him on MSN I just sent a message to him thus:” Hi.” But I expect no other than to say Hi, he started talking to me again. You will never see my happiness that day … can not explain in words to you.
As I said, my feelings for him, took other paths and ways beyond just friendship, and I told him how much I loved him, and as much as friends have told me it was just a virtual passion, fascination or just an illusion nothing ever changed what I feel for him. YES IS LOVE! TRUE LOVE! those who only found in children’s stories, in movies, or in the lyrics of a song. When I proposed to him, he immediately came to me saying: IMPOSSIBLE THAT AMONG U.S.! Well I had to accept it, after all was and is even impossible to have anything more than friendship between us. There are many factors involved that makes it impossible for any relationship that is not only the friendship between us, but I know that would weigh much in a relationship between us is a big age difference between us, he’s 19 and I 39, 20 years barriers between us …
But what matters is that despite my feelings for him, he never disrespected me, he never used it for my feelings for him or against me, never mocked or laughed this feeling I have for him. He always took very seriously my feelings and because of that our friendship grew stronger every day, I can even say that we become accomplices of each other here. I have total confidence in him.
Today our friendship came to the MSN Mobile, we always talk on the phone, but strong our friendship still remains the MSN.
Still we fight on MSN, but I LOVE it, as I already mentioned our friendship is unshakeable HURRICANE none can shake its foundations, because our friendship is based on sincerity, truth, and above all RESPECT. But what makes this friendship even stronger still is the fact that we have adopted as our”godfathers”the band Scorpions in our lives and our friendship as the hymn I chose the song “When You Came Into My Life!
It would not to mention all the details here, but our friendship took place because he found my email on the official website of SCORPIONS and sent the invitation to me and since then we are here together on MSN, pro whatever comes.
That’s why I’d love to give him this gift for Christmas, that due to his friendship I became a woman very different than I was.
So again I say: I give this gift to Anderson, because despite all that has passed on MSN, I have a huge affection for him and an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND FOREVER!

Hello from Greece,we are a mad couple,addicted to Scorpions,so I’d like to win the book for my sweet Dark Lady,so I give to her the most unbelievable Christmas present…..
I know she will faint….
Make her Christmas have taste & smell from Scorpions…..& you Rudolf!
Thank you and Scorpions for the great nights,for the great moments we share,you kick asssssss….
Lieber Lars, lieber Rudolf,
ich find die Idee von Euch toll ein Buch vor Weihnachten zu verschenken!
Falls ich gewinnen sollte, bekommt das Buch mein Sohn Jeremias (15 Jahre).
Er hat es zwar schon gelesen, aber wie ich Dir bei XING schon mitgeteilt habe, hat Ihn das Buch sehr angetan und ihm geholfen seine Zukunft so zu gestalten das es Ihm, Gott sei Dank, wieder mehr Spaß macht in die Zukunft zu blicken und die Schule zu besuchen. Er ist seitdem aufgeweckter und schreibt seitdem auch bessere Noten, mit gleichem Lernaufwand. Sein Wunsch ist es, ein Musikstudium in Saarbrücken, wo auch Hermann war, zu besuchen.
Er hat eine E- Gitarre und besucht seit gut einem Jahr die Modern Music School, wo er als Hit Kid, ein Jahr kostenloser Musikunterricht gewonnen hat. Er hat auch vor, das Profiseminar dort zu besuchen. Gitarre spielen tut er aber schon seit ca. 3 Jahren und bis auf ein paar Griffe von mir, hat er sich viel selbst beigebracht,
Er ist natürlich wie ich Scorpions Fan, und war am 25.Oktober 2008 in Straßburg Zenith mit damals noch 12 Jahren. Die Karte hat er unter anderem zu Weihnachten 2007 bekommen. Ja. Das „Stück Papier“ war von allen das schönste Geschenk. Außerdem waren wir im Mai 2010 in der Frankfurter Festhalle. Wir waren vor der Bühne und Klaus hat ihn oft angeschaut, wohl weil er so toll mitgemacht hat und dauern gehüpft ist. Er liebt Eure Musik und Eure Philosophie. Im Sommer fahren wir nach Oberursel zu Eurem Konzert. Mein Sohn dachte schon, dass Frankfurt sein letztes Konzert mit Euch war.
Vielen Dank für die vielen positiven Gedanken und Anregungen in Eurem Buch. Das sage ich auch im Namen meiner Frau Marion, meiner Töchter Anna und Franziska und meines Sohnes Jeremias.
Herzlichen Gruß und ein gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest an Euch und Eurer Familie.
Hans- Jürgen Klein und Familie
Lieber Rudolf und lieber Lars
My story begins in early 2010. I have been a scorpions fan for many years & thanks to the scorpions forum I met a girl called Emilie another scorpions fan (and a great one, she even managed to put new scorpions songs in the radio of her country and many other things) . She is from Switzerland and I am from Spain. Just talking with her I could realize that I was speaking with someone really special but I just couldn’t imagine how much she could be.
After a few time we met in May in München, we were going to see the scorpions show in the Olympiahalle. I will never forget the first moment I saw her crossing the street, the moment I met her. It’s amazing how life often gives you opportunities or surprises when least expected & since then your life has changed forever. We fell in love since that moment. I would like to explain so many things about what happened to us since that moment, but I wonder what word or words I could use to describe what Emilie is, I just do not know no one. There are things that are impossible to explain, like how she made my life being what it is now.
Since the first moment I knew that I would do anything for her, we both work hard study and do everything we can to see each other every month. Sometimes is hard, sometimes it seems that even the clock runs slower with every second of the day. But there’s nothing as to know what do you want in life, because that makes you fight against anything, it makes you somekind of “blind” for the obstacles and you just can see what you are dreaming of, everything that you need… and we live everyday like that.
This Christmas package is just amazing, it will be so perfect to be able to give it to her, to my love: It will have a very special meaning for her, and it is sure that we will read the book together. We always remember that a big passion that we share put us on the same way: the scorpions.
Ich wünsche Euch sehr schöne Weihnachtsferien
I have read through the stories above and as wonderful as they may be there is someone I believe is the most deserving of all! It is Michelle Siebenman, this is my dearest friend! Michelle is a true die hard rock n roll fan, but what makes Michelle so incredible is the fact that she is a single mother of 4 children and has been for most of her childrens lives, works harder and gives more than anyone I have ever met! Michelle has put her life on hold to raise her children-as a younger woman she was at scorpions concerts following them from state to state investing all of her time and money to be there at their performances and purchase their albums. She then became a mother and could not sacrifice that to be at the concerts any longer however that did not stop her from following, listening to and being a loyal scorpions fan! Michelles favorite song is “Make it Real”–I think you will agree after reading my story Michelle is the most deserving person I/you will ever know! Michelle does not have much as far as materialistic things go, but what she does have is a huge heart, a giving soul and a passion for Rock n Roll the “Scorpions”! Please consider this request for this gift to Michelle for Christmas I guarantee you will know upon delivery to her you have given her a GIFT OF A LIFETIME!
I should give it to my cousin who live just over Aachen,its already over 15 years ago i have seen him,even we regulary pass there by!He can translate it in dutch then for me!Will Santa Claus come to Belgium?
Seasons Greetings from Chicago Lars, Rudolph und family,
I’m a lifetime Scorpions fan as well as most of my family and friends are also.
If I were to win the Christmas package I would make a numbered list of all my family and friends just like Santa Klaus and share the book and other items with all of them by allowing each person to keep the book/item for two weeks to read and enjoy and then pass on to next person. Once everybody has read the book I would then have a Scorpions party so everybody could share their opinions with each other and then have raffle drawing at the party so a true fan can have a keepsake to share with others. Merry Christmas! & Happy 2K11 ROCK YOUR LIFE! Lou
Hi friends,
thank y’all so much for your wonderful and truly inspiring comments and stories. Each and every one is a winner here eventhough we had to pick one to get the Christmas package. This time it’s Kurt from Westminster, USA who’s lucky. Next time, it’s you!!!
Let’s have the time of our lives.
Love & Peace from Germany.
Lars
I feel very lucky because I met this website completely random and I’m excited because I finally have the chance to win the book I was looking for. I want to make a gift to a friend that really loves you and would be valuable for her to get it. She is in love with Scorpions I would say. She is a rocker and mad about Scorpions! but why I admire her the most is because she feels it and she is true. Never pretend and always expressed in her own rock way. She lives in her own rock world and is remarkable that in the young age of sixteen she created and living in her own rock philosophy. generally a rock person and nature. She was raised on rock and chosen by herself from her early age that she felt she wanted to listen to rock music and as she often say to me “Born rock or never can become!” It’s really inside her, and you for sure know well how it is to feel it deep inside. She is passionate it is her mental property, how can make it to you clearer..!She says that you take music and turned it into magic. The songs are the energy itself, the passion itself, the rock itself! When she listens to Scorpions she feels full. Rock It’s her whole world, source of power, what better of a book talking about all this things and especially form you!!! When everything lets her down she says she still has her Scorpions to listen to, she gets power to move on from your songs. As an artist she is inspired from your songs and she says that she cannot draw or write without your music and rock music generally. She for once made Klaus a portrait and met him unexpectedly at the airport before leaving for Patra at 8 of June when she travelled all the way from Cyprus just for your concert In Thessaloniki because there weren’t a concert in Cyprus in your tour dates. He signed it for her and took a couple of pictures. She has been telling this story so many times..and each time she is so enthusiast like it’s the firs time! It’s been a dream that came true to met you, she told me. She put the signed portrait on her wall and she is so proud of it! She talks constantly about her love for rock and that she eventually would like to write her own book just because she has so many to express. So what better than this book. It would be like you come fill and enriched her thoughts with your thoughts and experience. Please don’t let her down. She’s been trying to find that book but she was said it does not exist! She is an incredible rock person with an incredible rock soul. I hope I have convinced you because I’m running out of words. As she’s been saying to me “Rock is immortal because is true, and we keep it alive because it keeps us too”.
