U više od 50 godina dugoj karijeri, jedna od najpoznatijih nemačkih grupa, prodala je preko 100 miliona albuma i opravdano se nalazi u “Rock and Roll” Holu slavnih. Proglašeni za “heroje hevi metala” i “ambasadore roka”, osvajali su brojne nagrade, uključujući dve “World Music Awards” i više “Echo” nagrada.
Njihove pesme “Still loving you” , “Wind of Change” i “Send me and Angel” postali su vanvremenski hitovi koji se i dan danas vrte na brojnim radio stanicama ali i pored neverovatnog uspeha ovih balada, Scorpions su prvenstveno hard rok bend koji donosi žestoku energiju na sceni pesmama kao što su “Rock You Like An Hurricane”, “Blackout” , “Dynamite” i dr.
Pedeset godina je prošlo od kad su tinejdžeri Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker i Matthias Jabs lutali ulicama Hanovera koji se budio iz posleratne paralize, noseći svoje intrumente i pojačala. Za ovih 50 godina, postali su najuspešniji nemački rock bend. Veliki broj grupa među kojima su Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Korn kao i System Of A Down, obrađivalo je hitove Scorpionsa. Pesma “Rock You Like An Hurricane”do danas je doživela više od 150 obrada raznih muzičara.
Izraziti karijeru u ciframa benda kao Scorpions gotovo je nemoguća misija. Međutim, jedan broj treba spomenuti a to je više od 100 miliona prodatih albuma do danas što čini ovaj bend najuspešnijim rok bendom kontinentalne Evrope!
Veliki broj srebrnih, zlatnih i platinastih priznanja samo su jedan deo istorije Scorpionsa. Važan deo je njihova neprolazna želja za putovanjima. Svirali su više hiljada koncerata na svim delovima planete. Bili su prvi zapadni rok bend koji je 1988. godine rasprodao pet koncerata u tadašnjem Lenjingradu. Takođe, pionirska dostignuća imaju i njihovi rani nastupi u Kini i Južnoj Aziji čime su otvorili vrata ostalim zapadnim bendovima.
Nastupom na festivalu “Moscow Music Peace”, 1989. godine, Scorpions su definitivno osvojili Rusiju kao i inspirisali Klausa da napiše numeru koja je ubrzo postala himna konačnog pada gvozdene zavese – “Wind of Change”.
Tokom više od 50 godina duge karijere bilo je dosta magičnih momenata. Neki su zauvek zabeleženi na uživo albumima, neki na filmovima i video spotovima. Ovi momenti su zacementirali reputaciju Scorpionsa kao jednog od retkih bendova koji se uzdigao iznad gomile.

One of the most popular bands of hard rock scene SCORPIONS will perform for the first time in Serbia, in Kombank Arena, on 7 December 2017 as part of its world tour, Crazy World Tour.
50 years have gone by since the days the juvenile Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs wandered the streets of Hannover, which was just awakening from post war paralysis, with a barrow carrying their instruments and amplifiers. In these 50 years, they have become Germany’s, or rather Continental Europe’s most successful rock band, the living proof that not only VW, Mercedes or BMW are able to compete internationally, but classic rock music made in Germany as well. Countless bands, including the Smashing Pumpkins as well as Green Day, Korn, System Of A Down or Queensryche have covered songs by the Scorpions throughout the years. “Rock You Like A Hurricane” on its own was covered over 150 times by different musicians.
Expressing a career like the one of the Scorpions in mere numbers is almost impossible. However, one number that should still be mentioned is more than 100 million records sold to date. This makes the Scorpions the most successful rock band of Continental Europe by far.
However, countless silver, gold and platinum awards are only one side of the Scorpions’ history. Another is their unabated desire to travel. No other rock band of their caliber after so many years takes to the stage as often as the Hannover natives. They have played thousands of concerts in all corners of the planet: in Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Moscow, Washington, Dubai, Paris or Berlin.
In 1988, they were the first Western rock band to play sold-‐out shows five days in a row in the then still Soviet Leningrad. Pioneering achievements elsewhere as well: through very early concerts in China and Southeast Asia, they have opened doors for many other Western bands.
They’ve swept the board big time in Brazil in 1995 at the legendary “Rock in Rio” festival, when other German bands could at best dream of foreign countries. The performance is documented on the epochal live album “World Wide Live”, which was the band’s final breakthrough in the US, for all time cementing their reputation as one of the planet’s hottest live bands.
And then there was the 1989 “Moscow Music Peace” festival, where the Scorpions ultimately conquered Russia, inspiring Klaus Meine to write the track that not much later became the theme song to the Iron Curtain’s final fall: “Wind of Change”.
There were many magic live moments; some of them are captured on live albums, others on film and video recordings. These are the moments, which have cemented the Scorpions’ reputation as one of the rare bands rising far above the crowd.
