Bandmixers Discography Series / Selections From -
SCORPIONS / LOVE AT FIRST STING (1984)
The Scorpions are a legendary German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover, Germany. The group was founded by guitarist Rudolf Schenker and is best known for its hard rock and heavy metal sound, although it has also ventured into pop and ballads. Over the years, the band's lineup has changed, but the core of the Scorpions has always remained Schenker and lead vocalist Klaus Meine. The Scorpions gained global recognition in the 1980s, especially with their iconic albums "Love at First Sting" (1984) and their power ballad "Wind of Change" (1990), which became a symbol of the end of the Cold War. Their sound is characterized by Schenker's high-energy guitar riffs, Meine's distinctive voice, and the band's emotionally charged lyrics. Some of their most popular songs include "Rock You Like a Hurricane," "Still Loving You," and "No One Like You." With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, the Scorpions are considered one of the best-selling rock bands in history. |
