people's
lives. From the legendary Steffi Graf, who grandslammed her way into our consciousness, to the fastest man on four wheels, formula one champion Michael Schumacher, to a band whose sting we love to feel. It's not too often that people can transcend borders, language , religion, sex and colour. But like the others, German rock band scorpions does just that...
The Legends Legendary History:
Rudolph Schenker laid the foundation in 1965 for the scorpions, a band which would go on to become one of the biggest rock acts in music history. The original acts in music history. The original line-up consisted of lead guitarist Karl-Heinz follmer , bassist Lother Heimberg, drummer Wolfgang Dziony and of course, Rudolph Schenker on vocals/rhythm guitars. Their roots and influences were Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
Greatest Change:
Klaus Meine, who is blessed with a voice which we may only have heard on our dreams before we actually heard Klaus , joined the band as vocalist along with lead guitarist Michael Schenker, the younger of the two Schenker brothers, after leaving the Hanover formation Copernicus in 1970. They recorded their debut album Lonesome Crow in 1972 which went on to become the sound track for a German Movie 'Das Kalte Paradies'.
But Michael took off in 1973 to join British band UFO. In 1973, Scorpions went on a joint tour 
with UFO, and Michael Schenker was so impressed with them that he left the Scorps to join the British rock group! Guitarist Ulrich Roth (Also Known as ULI JON ROTH ) replaced him as the lead guitarist and the band went on to release four consecutive albums namely..... FLY TO THE RAINBOW (1974), IN TRANCE (1975), VIRGIN KILLER (1976), and TAKEN BY FORCE (1977) and a Live Album TOKYO TAPES (1978)
Ulrich Roth is one of the greatest Guitar players in the music world...he was truly a gifted player...Under his guidance the scorps released only four studio albums and a live album...But they are really great creative albums in the history of rock music...actually Most of the fans will feel that after ulijon roth leaving the band, scorps have lost their creativeness.
Though the above albums failed to capture the world's largest marker- the U.S., they became a big hit in Japan where In Trance was a best seller.
In 1975, Scorpions were voted the best German rock scene with Virgin Killer (1976), winning the 'LP Of the Year' title. After the success of Virgin Killer and Taken By Force in Japan, the Scorpions set foot into the second largest market for music .....Japan in 1978, and it was absolute delirium.
