The Scorpions (formed in 1969) is a German hard rock and heavy metal band, known for their hit singles “Rock You Like a Hurricane†and “Wind of Changeâ€, hailing from Hannover, West Germany.
In 1969 guitarist and vocalist Rudolf Schenker formed the Scorpions alongside lead guitarist Karl-Heinz Folder, bassist Lothar Heimberg and drummer Wolfgang Dziony. A couple years later with little progress being made Schenker’s younger brother Michael joined the band along with good friend and frontman Klaus Meine who both recorded on their 1972 album “Lonesome Crowâ€. Michael Schenker soon got noticed by an early incarnation of the rock band UFO who hired him as their lead guitarist.
Uli Jon Roth replaced Schenker and contributed to the four albums “Fly to the Rainbow†in 1974, “In Trance†in 1975, “Virgin Killer†in 1976 and “Taken by Force†in 1977. By this point the band were becoming popular in Japan but by no means in the U.S. and in 1978 Roth left the group to form Electric Sun and Schenker returned after being kicked out of UFO for alcoholism.
Having signed to Mercury Records the Scorpions released “Lovedrive†in 1979 before undergoing significant line-up changes. Matthias Jabs came in on lead, Francis Buchholz came in on bass and Herman Rarebell on drums. The band’s next release “Animal Magnetism†surprised a lot of people going gold in the U.S. and represented a popularity shift in the States, with this news the Scorpions immediately returned to the studio to cash in on their newfound appeal.
In 1982, despite rumours Meine had been kick out of the group for broken vocal chords, the Scorpions released the “Blackoutâ€. The album sold over a million copies in the U.S. alone and featured the hit single “No One Like Youâ€. It was however the powerful follow-up “Love at First Sting†in 1984 that really gave the band their superstar status. Led by the huge MTV single “Rock You Like a Hurricaneâ€, the album has since been certified double-platinum and increased the band’s popularity and concert scope.
After a long-winded two-year hiatus, the Scorpions returned in 1988 to release their tenth studio album “Savage Amusement†which featured the hit “Rhythm of Loveâ€. The band subsequently released “Crazy World†in 1990 which proved the be the Scorpions’ biggest-seeing record to date led by the uber-popular “Wind of Changeâ€.
With the influx of alternative rock to the ‘90s the Scorpions’ hard-rock appeal began to dwindle and in 1993 with the release of “Face the Heat†the band had lost a number of fans. The Scorpions followed the release up with the live album “Live Bites†in 1995, “Pure Instinct: in 1996 and the double CD greatest hits album “Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years†in 1997.
The band securely put on their experimentation hats for 1999’s “Eye II Eye†which featured pop and techno melodies, and invited the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to play and perform a number of Scorpion classic hits with the 2000 album “Moment of Gloryâ€. The Scorpions have subsequently released their fifteenth studio album “Unbreakable†in 2004, “Humanity: Hour 1†in 2007, “Sting in the Tail†in 2010 and the greatest hits album “Comeblack†in 2011.

The Athens State Orchestra did not manage to see, except the last song - the one with Shenker - as I was entering the stadium, because, even though I had the most expensive VIP ticket (with numbered seat), I - among most of the crowd - could not enter, since there where NO lines, NOONE from the production company, NO security to help and guide us. As a result, the concert began as sceduled, at 21:00 sharp ad all of us were outside trying - I got pushed over, squeezed etc - to get in. Because of that - the entrance delay - they did not check our tickets (nobody was at the gates any way) so whoever wanted to enter the stadium - with NO ticket - could by all means enter. When entered the stadium there were AGAIN nobody to escort or show us to our seats, with limited lighting, and when we FINALLY found our seats there were people seating already refusing to get up - since they told us that people from the organisation told them to seat WHEREVER they wished, since there was no time to seat them and obviously without entry control we were outnumbered - and spend about 30 minutes trying to convince them for the obvious: to get up and let us seat on our NUMBERED seats, while searching for SOMEONE from the production company to assist. The stairs were full of people (this is against safety policy) and I managed to get down to arena after stepping on hands (it was dark as I mentioned earlier) to find someone in charge....NOONE, only one security guy who wasn't authorised to help with the situation and finally a "staff" who told me that he was a driver and would try to find someone to assist. They had NO CBs to intercommunicate and were running up and down to find whomever they were searching for. Finally, the paramedics, also had NO CBs and as we saw a girl in distress form above we were trying to communicate through signals that they should speed to the spot. The production company - I've never heard of them in Greece - are plain potential murderers.
The Scorpions are another band that is completely iconic to my growing up for as long as I can recall. Their thoughtful, leading guitars and unique vocals that demand the listener's attention taught me a lot. I love the fact that where I love the professional sports teams use a number of their songs to pump up the crowd and the team. I don't know how anyone could go wrong listening to the Scorpions.
I had a chance to hear them up here in Philadelphia a couple of years ago. I have to say, all though they're definitely aging, they can still rock the house like they did 30 years ago. They played some songs people didn't recognize but still got them to move to anyway. The Scorpions still have that unique sound, with the demanding vocals and thought provoking lyrics.
After all these years, people of all ages and types were seriously listening and becoming involved in the music that the Scorpions were producing, and it was a sight to behold. On the whole, it was like part of the audience was surprised that the people on the stage were the same ones that were capturing them with their music. Definitely a must see.
I sold my tickets because Five Points amphitheatre is the worst venue I have ever been to. The only time I have enjoyed a show there is when buying VIP front and Center seats and even then there security is the worst. Last show the people I knew from the meet and greet with Foreigner spent between 900 and 2000 for a paid of tickets yet when I walked down to the stage Indis not get stopped once and asked for my ticket. I learned against the rail against the stage with the aisle behind me and never was told to leave the area and neither was anyone who paid $49 for baxkrow seats. When you sit in the upper section, meaning 300's, there is no security, the seats are temporary, and its a bit more cramped then the airlines. Of someone moves, the entire section moves, and the entire row has to clear the row because it is impossible to get buy. Of anything happens in the upper sections, which is very possible seeing that everytime you get to your seat you have to ask someone who doesnt belong there to move. And when I sat 2nd row, I had at least 10 different neighbors from people climbing over the seats. With such
Where do I start? The Scorpions concert at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion was amazing. The day was dreary, wet and cold. Some of the excitement that had been building about the concert was waning. It was just a miserable day. The opening act didn't really do anything for my enthusiasm. I just couldn't shake the weather blues. Then the Scorpions took the stage.
Immediately, they filled the air with electricity; the energy on stage was like a contagion. I was excited, the people around me were excited. We forgot all about the crappy weather. They played a good mix of old and new, head banging and acoustic. They made the whole experience very intimate and personal. By the end of the show, I really felt we got our money's worth; then The Scorpions came back for an encore! I feel bad for the folks that took off at the end of the set. They missed out on some heartfelt and enduring classics. Those last two songs took the night from fantastic to mind blowingly awesome. I can't say enough about how great this show was. The guys were happy, energetic and generous. Best show I have ever seen.
Scorpions, the German hard rock band currently consisting of Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Matthias Jabs, James Kottak and Paweł Mąciwoda have a cult like reputation globally for their music and live show. Having formed fifty years ago, the band still has the ability to rock and out and entertain a crowd with ease.
Despite their age, the musical ability that the band members possess is applaudable. From the blistering introduction to 'All Night Long', the group are ready to rock and the audience are ready to cheer. Lead singer Klaus Meine has great abilities as a frontman, swaggering around the stage like a man half his age with his guitar in hand ready to create frenzy as he teases the introduction to fan favourites such as 'Coming Home' and 'The Zoo'.
Although their biggest international hit 'Wind Of Change' is devoid from the set, the audience don't even seem to notice as the band keep them energised with huge renditions of 'Big City Nights'. Scorpions are a great live act with a solid show and an understanding of the fundamentals of rock.
The scorpions can still rock! Surprisingly Klause can still sing great and hit those notes! He does not move around much but who can blame him...hard to believe he is 69. They did all the expected tunes..No one LIke You, the Zoo, and some "newer" ones like Rock and Roll Bang, Going Out with a Bang, etc. Guitar playing by Jabs and Rudolf was exceptional...Rudolf was still his entertaining self. Rock you Like a Hurricane was one of the encores and really got people rocking. Highlights for me were the slower songs where the crowd sang loudly such as WInd of Change, and Send me an Angel. Go see them as you never know if there will be another chance. Megadeath was the unusually chosen opening act and more of a trash metal band...not my "cup of tea" but I actually liked them. They changed the demographic of the audience a bit.
The Scorpions blew the cobwebs out of the Grand Ole Opry House on Monday night! They put on a great show and rocked it! For guys celebrating 50 years as a band (which means they've got to be close to 70, if not older), they put much younger musicians to shame! Klaus still sounds awesome, the guitars were shredding, and the drums were pounding!I would see them again in a heartbeat!!
Queensryche was also great although they didn't do an encore for some reason so I didn't get to hear "Silent Lucidity" which is one that I particularly wanted to hear.
Overall a great night and I can now check seeing the Scorpions live off of my "bucket list"!
I had the honor of seeing the Scorpions almost two years ago at the Staples center in Los Angeles....All I can say is WOW! They were without a doubt the best band live I have ever seen and I go to a lot of concerts! If you are lucky enough to see them live today you are truly blessed. I have been lucky enough to see and hear some of the best artist in the world and this concert was the best I have ever witnessed. Just to put some perspective to my statements... the second best concert was U2 a month after 9-11. If they come back to los Angeles I will be there no matter what the cost is.....They are just that great!
The show of the concert was great, but we didn't really see the collusion of the band with the symphonic orchestra. The orchestra came, played their part, and after that we never saw them again. The sould could be better. The legendary Scorpions gave it all though. They made as feel good and they carried as away!
The organization was not good. Two small entrances for sooo many people. That lead to huge queues. I felt there was not so much security, during the check of the tickets.
It was great seeing Kallimarmaro full, from people who came to enjoy Scorpions!
Great experience. Could be much better.
It was my first experience to be at a concert of such big world known band like Scorpions.Their show meet my expectations.Good sound,good scene movement from all band members,exceptional voice of the singer,and the songs I have known well:WIND OF CHANGE;SEND ME AN ANGEL;STILL LOVING YOU;YOU AND I.It was a chance to fill a dream of my life,to listen one of my favorite band,their music I heard first time being teenager in years if 90'.
It was a,great show,I could fulfil one promiss made to a,dear person,we had great time.THANK YOU SCORPIONS.DAN from ROMANIA
