    The Scorpions are one the greatest bands ever. They've been around for over 50 years. the came out with a new album last year and Klaus is 74 years old and can still sing like he's in his 30's.

      I'm 43 years old and the last concert I saw was my favorite artist, Sammy Hagar and the waboritas, followed by the Scorpions. It would have been better if the Scorpions were first as their stage act was boring compared to Sammy, and I love the Scorpions. I was born into this stuff and grew up on all of it. Living under a rock are my exact thoughts, but then again rock and later classic rock is what I was raised on......stevie nicks, VH, ozzy, CCWR, john cougar mellancamp, phil collins, and a ton of others. So many people missed out on a couple great generations of rock/pop music.

    Ah, my favorite old school power ballad.
    I heard a story about the Scorpions from a local DJ about a month ago. He said that the songs of the Scorpions were often written to impress their groupies. "'No one like You', I wrote that song about you, babe! You're my one and only!" Then in the next town they'd say that to the next girl. And the next girl. And the next.
    The Scorpions formed in the late 1960's, but hit their peak in the 80's. They even released a new album last year, though I've not heard it much.

    Oh wow, the whole drawn out ending, the official version, was cut off. You have to listen to it. It absolutely will give you chills. I saw them live in 1984 right after 'Love at First Sting' came out. They absolutely killed it and Still Loving You was one of the highlights.

    This song is one of my all-time favorite rock songs; whether ballad or no ballad. A splendid display of perhaps one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time; yes even right up there close to Freddy Mercury. I saw them recently in concert and even in their 70s they still sound frickin amazing! Klaus Meine’s voice is still lazer-like and Rudolf Schenker (the band’s founder)was still jumping around like he was 17. Oh, and your reaction to the band was adorable!! Lol

    Scorpions are a great rocking band who also have epic ballads. Their style has changed over the years but they continue to rock and their music is timeless. I still love their songs that I loved 40 years ago. If you can watch a full unedited live version of this song, you will appreciate it even more. There are plenty of performances available as this was a regular song in their concerts. Scorpions spawned one of the very best rock guitarists of all time, Michael Schenker, who is the brother of Rudolph Schenker in Scorpions, the one with the flying-V guitar (and cow pants)

    I got this album while on a school trip to France in 84. I was crazy in love with this gorgeous redhead girl in my school year at the time, but she was way out of my league. So this song totally summed up all my feelings. Man was I ever lovesick. Then in '88 I saw Scorpions at Hammersmith Odeon and they were enthralling! They formed a human pyramid with Klaus Meine at the apex after the third encore. That gorgeous redhead bought those tickets for my birthday :)

    I heard this song in the 80s when I was in high school. More recently I was in a gas station buying a drink and a sandwich and they started playing this song. I stayed in the store long enough to hear most of the song before I finally left. I couldn't get over how damn good it sounded while when I was in high school, I sort of took it for granted.

    Scorpions are the longest-running German rock band ever... they are known for their heavy rockers and also for these kinds of ballads that bring in the girls and women. The band was formed in (West) Germany in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker (guitar) in 1965 as a "beat rock combo" (like The Beatles) ... Rudolf was the lead singer, until he met another local singer Klaus Meine, and the 2 became close friends... Klaus was in another band Mushrooms, and when they needed a guitarist, Rudolf recommended them his 14 year old kid brother Michael Schenker on guitar. After Mushrooms broke up, Rudolf asked Klaus Meine (vocals) and Michael Schenker (lead guitar) to join the Scorpions around 1970. The band decided to write English songs hoping for more appeal to audiences in Europe and beyond.
    The band came 2nd in a competition for a recording contract, but moved to 1st after the winning band broke up... They had written a psychedelic space rock album 'Lonesome crow' that became their debut album in 1972... Michael Schenker left the Scorpions around 1973 to join UK rockers U.F.O. and became a guitar hero in the 70's and in the 80's w/ Michael Schenker Group (M.S.G.)
    Scorpions had broken up, but Klaus (vocals) and Rudolf Schenker (guitar) decided to join forces w/ lead guitarist Ulrich Roth (now Uli Jon Roth) and Francis Buccholz (bass) in 1974 to reform the Scorpions and released their 2nd album 'Fly to the rainbow'... The band released a string of albums in the 70's and progressed into a hard rock band... By 1977, Herman Rarebell (drums) joined and the Scorpions scored a gold album in Japan ('Taken by force') by 1978 and got a taste of fame and hysteria for the first time when they toured Japan in 1978 and recorded a live album there ('Tokyo Tapes')... Unfortunately, Roth decided to leave the band that year. Michael Schenker split w/ U.F.O. and briefly rejoined the Scorpions, but left again in 1979... Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) who had played shows w/ the band joined afterwards.
    By 1979, Scorpions had new management, a new record label and scored a gold album in the US as they played America for the first time and were ready for the arenas... Their 1980 album 'Animal magnetism' went platinum... Klaus Meine got a diagnosis of vocal polyps and needed surgery and recovery time in 1981, and the band opted not to replace him. After a year, Klaus got his voice back and the band returned w/ a vengeance in 1982 w/ the 'Blackout' album... Their 1984 album 'Love at first sting' became a huge hit, selling 3x platinum in the US. Scorpions released another live 'World wide live' in 1985.
    Scorpions released the album 'Savage amusement' in 1988 and became one of the first hard rock bands to play the USSR that year... the experience inspired the 1990 ballad 'Wind of change' from the 'Crazy world' album that became a massive hit worldwide by 1991... Unfortunately, the 90's grunge era caused the Scorpions popularity to decline in 1993 and Francis Buccholz (bass) and Herman Rarebell (drums) both left the band by 1995.
    Refusing to break up, Scorpions persisted w/ new music and tours w/ Ralph Rieckermann (bass) and James Kottak (drums) joining... in 2003, Pawel Maciwoda (bass) joined and the Scorpions started becoming popular again w/ the internet helping to promote their music. The band wanted to end their run in 2010, but their popularity worldwide was still climbing again, so the band decided to carry on past 2014... Mikkey Dee (drums) replaced Kottak in 2016. The band recently released the album 'Rock believer' w/ both Klaus and Rudolf in their 70's!

    They are still touring. Saw them last year (2022) in Oklahoma. They are getting older but they are still great!! Klaus (the lead singer) can still belt out those notes.

    In high school in the 80's, as a heavy metal kid, when you parked with your girl, you either put in scorpions or journey. Good ole days.

    Back in USSR (late 80s) all school dances went with their ballads... perfect music to dance slow dances with girls.
