From Hanover, Germany, the hard rockin’ Scorpions went from humble beginnings struggling to make it as an English-singing band in Germany in the late 60s and early 70s, to the heights of fame as the MTV-christened “Ambassadors of Rock” and world superstardom. Over the years, guitarists Rudolf Schenker, Matthias Jabs, and singer Klaus Meine set the world aflame with tracks like “Rock You Like a Hurricane”, “No One Like You”, and “Big City Nights” and have released 17 studio and four live albums, with over 100 million sold worldwide.
The Rock.
