SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Known best for their 1984 anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the 1990 ballad
"Wind of Change," German rockers Scorpions have sold over 22 million records,
making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of
Continental Europe. Formed in 1969 by Rudolf Schenker, the original lineup
consisted of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Schenker, lead guitarist Karl-Heinz
Follmer, bassist Lothar Heimberg, and drummer Wolfgang Dziony. In 1971,
Schenker's younger brother Michael joined the band to play lead guitar and good
friend Klaus Meine became the vocalist. The group recorded Lonesome Crow in
1972, which was used as the soundtrack to the German movie Das Kalte Paradies.
Although they failed to get into the public's eye, the early incarnation of '70s
rock band UFO noticed Michael Schenker's guitar playing and hired him as their
lead guitarist; Michael, therefore, would leave the band in 1973. Guitarist Uli
Jon Roth replaced him, and under his guidance the group released four
consecutive albums under the RCA record label: Fly to the Rainbow (1974), In
Trance (1975), Virgin Killer (1976), and Taken by Force (1977).
Although these albums failed to attain any serious attention in the United
States, they were all quite popular in Japan. By the time Taken by Force was
released, Roth made the decision to leave the band and form Electric Sun after
feeling that his musical ideas would take the group in an entirely different
direction. Tokyo Tapes, a double live album that the group recorded in Tokyo
with Roth, was released in 1978. Shortly after Roth's departure, Michael
Schenker was kicked out of UFO for his constant alcohol abuse and came back to
play with Scorpions in 1979, who had recently signed with Mercury Records. The
group released Lovedrive that same year and played its first American tour, but
Lovedrive failed to attract attention, and was banned in the United States
because of its sexually explicit cover. Still coping with his drug and alcohol
addiction, Michael missed tour dates repeatedly and guitarist Matthias Jabs was
hired to fill in for him on nights when he was absent. Michael would eventually
leave Scorpions a second time after realizing that he was failing to meet their
expectations.
With a lineup of Klaus Meine on vocals, Rudolf Schenker on rhythm guitar,
Matthias Jabs on lead, Francis Buchholz on bass, and Herman Rarebell on drums,
the band released Animal Magnetism in 1980 and embarked on another world tour.
Surprisingly, Animal Magnetism went gold in the United States, and the Scorpions
immediately went back into the studio to record their next release. Problems
arose, however, and the project was postponed because Meine lost his voice and
would have to have surgery on his vocal cords. Many thought Meine had been fired
from the band, and rumors spread that metal singer Don Dokken had already
replaced him. Scorpions proved these rumors untrue when Meine returned for the
1982 release Blackout, which contained the cult hit "No One Like You." A major
success worldwide, Blackout sold over a million copies in the U.S. alone. But as
popular as Blackout was, it was Scorpions' powerful follow-up, Love at First
Sting, which succeeded in making them superstars. Released in 1984, the album
boasted the MTV single "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and would eventually achieve
double-platinum status. The group undertook one of its most successful world
tours yet, boasting an outstanding stage show with high-energy performances.
After releasing World Wide Live in 1985, the band took a long hiatus and
remained uninvolved from the music industry for two years. Their tenth studio
album, Savage Amusement, was finally released in 1988, and the hit ballad
"Rhythm of Love" brought on another major success. In 1990, the album Crazy
World was released and would eventually become Scorpions' biggest-selling record
to date, drawing on the strength of the hit ballad "Wind of Change." Not too
surprisingly, Crazy World was the last successful Scorpions release in the U.S.
By the time their Face the Heat album hit the shelves in 1993, many longtime
fans had already lost interest in the band, due to the alternative explosion of
the early '90s. Face the Heat did eventually reach gold, and in 1995 the band
released another live album, Live Bites. With bassist Ralph Rieckermann and
drummer James Kottak, they released Pure Instinct in 1996. Mercury assembled a
double album of the band's greatest hits, Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years, and
released it in 1997.
Eye II Eye, an album in which the band experimented with pop-techno melodies,
was released in the summer of 1999. Moment of Glory, featuring the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra and several revamped versions of Scorpions cult classics,
was released in fall 2000. Continuing to be productive into the 21st century,
Scorpions issued their 15th studio album, Unbreakable, in 2004, followed by the
concept album Humanity: Hour 1 in 2007. In 2010, the band released Sting in the
Tail, and announced they would be retiring after heading out on the road for a
farewell tour. The following year, while still on tour, the band released
Comeblack, a greatest-hits album of sorts featuring the German rockers
re-recording some of their most well-known songs, as well as covers by T. Rex,
the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. Nevertheless, the band spent 2013
performing several acoustic concerts for MTV Unplugged, and collecting some of
the best performances for a double-live album released later that same year. In
early 2015, Scorpions delivered their 18th studio album Return to Forever, a
collection of 12 songs written between 2011 and 2014, and put to tape in Sweden
with producers Mikael Nord Andersson and Martin Hansen.
