The Scorpions are a German hard rock band formed in Hanover in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker.[3] The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.

The Scorpions and Klaus pretty much own the Power ballad in my opinion. They have a bunch of great tracks over a long career. Their most commercially successful tracks in the US are probably "Rock you Like a Hurricane" "No One Like You" "Wind of Change" (released when the Berlin Wall fell) "and "The Zoo" Another great power ballad to check out would be "Send Me an Angel" I'm personally a fan of "Holiday" and "Coming Home" as well.

No offense, but I vote nay on that one. It's a good song, but it's constantly requested, and it seems like it's often by people who just know the Scorpions from one or two songs that got constant radio play in a certain period, after they were a little more mainstream. Not saying that you're in that group, but... And let's face it, all the wonderful things the song's about, that people find so touching, none of that really panned out in the end, did it? Look at Russia today ;) Everyone is welcome to their own opinions, of course, but though I like Winds of Change, I like any of these Scorpion tunes better: In Trance, Life's Like a River, Big City Nights, We'll Burn the Sky, Loving You Sunday Morning, Dynamite, Blackout, No One Like You, The Zoo, Holiday, When the Smoke is Going Down, Always Somewhere - and I'm sure a bunch of others I can't think of off the top of my head.

Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) is one of the most underrated guitar players in hard rock... I'd seen him perform w/ the Scorpions in concert and he was exceptional 🔥🔥🤘🤘He joined the Scorpions in 1979 until today and made the band massively popular w/ Rudolf Schenker (guitar) and Klaus Meine (vocals)... who founded the Scorpions. But somehow, fans seem to recognize Scorpions previous guitarists more - Michael Schenker (Rudolf's younger brother) who became a guitar hero in the 70's and 80's w/ the bands U.F.O. and M.S.G. (Michael Schenker Group)... & Ulrich Roth (now Uli Jon Roth) who played w/ the Scorpions until 1978... both phenomenal guitarists who are still active today.

Saw them June, 20th 1991 at the Forum in Los Angles. The whole stage slowly turned into a giant metal scorpin by the end of the concert, like a transformer, with added pyrotechnics. I was sitting a few rows from the stage slightly off to a side, and the amps where stacked nearly next to me, and I went tone deaf after the first song. My hearing came back after about 2 weeks but has never been quite as good as it was before that concert. A guy sitting in front of me had long hair and was head banging the whole concert, and his hair kept hitting me. I would strongly suggest using earplugs if you go see an exceptionaly loud band like this.
