Scorpions

The Scorpions are a German rock band founded in Hanover in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker. Since the band’s founding, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal and glam metal to soft rock.

The band that launched a wind of change around the world. Germans who sang lyrical rock ballads in English to ornate bass guitar riffs. In the early 1970s, English rock connoisseurs wrote about them skeptically, and in 2017 Scorpions enter the hall of heavy metal history and continue to gather stadiums.

In 1972, the musicians first announced themselves on the hard rock scene, releasing their debut album Lonesome Crow. Almost simultaneously with this began a busy touring life of the band. The popularity of the Scorps in Europe and Asia grew exponentially. The musicians recorded albums and spent all their time on tour, increasing the number of concerts played. The unrealized goal remained the dreamland – the USA.

With the 80s to the band comes a stunning and long-awaited world success. Finally, the unattainable but desired America was conquered. The years 1980-1981, according to the musicians’ memories, were like an endless party with concerts, fans and recording of new songs.
