A few years with the Scorpions and he need not worry about his retirement fund anymore. I'm happy for both them, he is indeed a good fit. So was James Kottak, but he couldn't get a grip on his demons though the Scorps gave him repeatedly a chance to do so. He blew it.
Working for the Scorpions is probably akin to having a job with a good corporate employer who offers health insurance, a good wage, social and retirement benefits as well as a well-organized working environment. In their 50 years of existence, the Scorpions have done little else but tour, it's a way of life to them. Mickey won't have to worry about anything other than two hours of good drumming every few days. Piece of cake for him. And compared to Motörhead, the Scorps are a major draw, the clubs and small halls days are gone for him. Good way to finish a career after Mercyful Fate, King Diamond and Motörhead.
