Editor's note

Scorpions, Germany's arena rock lifers

From Hanover in 1965 to global anthems like 'Wind Of Change,' they've kept hard rock and big ballads alive for decades.

If you want the full picture, listen to 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' and 'Wind Of Change' back to back. That's their range right there.

They're one of those bands that just kept going, turning out songs that became part of the rock furniture. 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' is still a stadium staple, and 'Wind Of Change' captured a moment in history. They never really went away, just kept playing their mix of riffs and melodies.

They started in Hanover in 1965, signed with RCA and put out 'Lonesome Crow' in 1972. By the late '70s, albums like 'Tokyo Tapes' and 'Lovedrive' were building their name outside Germany. The '80s brought the big anthems and ballads, and 'Wind Of Change' in 1990 became a signature song.

Archive material and source history

The Scorpions formed in Hanover, Germany in 1965, with Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine among the founding members. They signed with RCA Records in 1972 and released their debut album 'Lonesome Crow' that same year. By the late 1970s, albums like 'Tokyo Tapes' and 'Lovedrive' were helping them build an international following.

During the 1980s, the band became known for arena rock anthems like 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' and ballads such as 'Still Loving You' and 'Send Me An Angel.' Their 1990 single 'Wind Of Change,' inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall, became one of their most recognizable songs. The Scorpions have continued to record and tour over the decades, maintaining a presence in rock music with their blend of hard rock and melodic ballads.
