The Scorpions, the German band of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal formed in Hanover, Germany, in 1965, with a career that covers six decades, are one of the most lasting and successful rock bands in the world.
Known for his powerful rock hymns and emotional ballads, now with a few more years, less stage mobility, but the tidal audiences have surrendered to his music and sang with them his greatest successes.
The sound of Scorpions is a mixture that has evolved over the years, from hard rock with striking guitar riffs, melodic music and an intense stage energy, heavy metal in their 70s and early 80s, with a heavier and more aggressive approach.
But also their Power Ballads, such as “Still Loving You” and “Wind of Change”, are becoming global hymns. These songs demonstrate their ability to combine rock intensity with melodic sensitivity.
Klaus Meine has a unique voice, capable of reaching high notes and conveying great emotion. The one that joins the guitar duels and the melodic music, courtesy of Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, is a registered brand of the band.
