Scorpions
Scorpions, a German heavy metal band, was formed in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker. Over the decades, the band's lineup has seen various changes, with Schenker being the only constant member. However, it was the addition of Klaus Meine as vocalist and Rudolf's younger brother Michael Schenker as lead guitarist that truly defined Scorpions's sound and image.
The band's international breakthrough came with the album Lovedrive released in 1979. One of their best-known hits, "Rock You Like a Hurricane," from the 1984 album Love at First Sting, sky-rocketed the band to global fame. Known for their powerful anthems and evocative ballads, Scorpions have been noted for their signature blend of hard rock with melodic elements, creating an enduring and distinctive sound.
Throughout their career, Scorpions have released over 20 studio albums and achieved multiple awards, including World Music Awards and ECHO awards. They've also paved the way for many European bands to break into the international market. As they continue to be a formidable force in the world of rock music, Scorpions's influence extends beyond their hefty discography, influencing countless musicians and delighting fans worldwide.
