“我们跟随本能前进,让音乐自由的流动,然后将蝎子那致命的毒刺展现出来。”--世界上流行时间最长,最具影响力的金属摇滚乐队先锋正是来自德国的Scorpions(蝎子)乐队。他们的各张专辑已在世界范围内卖出了超过两千万张并且有一大把的打榜金曲。乐队成立于1968年,毫无疑问,Scorpions是整个欧洲大陆最富影响力的乐队之一。但他们又有着其它著名乐队所没有的经历--1989年他们世界巡回演出甚至到达了苏维埃时期的莫斯科,更因为单曲“Wind Of Change”受到了苏联元首戈尔巴乔夫在克里姆林宫的亲切接见,这是第一支也是唯一一支受到苏联领导人接见的乐队。乐队的特点在于将流行乐中悦耳的音调、即兴的重复巧妙运用于自己的作品之中。从他们的专辑《Pure Instinct》(绝对本能)我们就能够很好的理解乐队的创作方向了。
1972年乐队发了自己的首张专辑《Lonesome Crow》,这张专辑确立了乐队非英美的独创摇滚风格,在他们成功前的很多年乐队只是在一些酒吧和小演出厅进行表演。之后又相继推出了专辑《Fly To The Rainbow》(1974),《In Trance》(1975), 1976年的专辑《Virgin Killer》在日本获得了黄金级的销量, 之后是专辑《Taken By Force》(1977), 随后他们开始了一次全日本巡回演出。1978年的专辑《Tokyo Tapes》为乐队赢得了一定的国际知名度。1979年的专辑《Love Drive》推出后,乐队成功地杀入了英国排行榜。
1985年乐队一场名为“Rock In Rio”的演唱会更是吸引了三十五万乐迷到场观看。这场演唱会之后,来自专辑《Love At First Sting》的单曲“Still Loving You”一举成为德国排行榜的榜首歌曲,乐队的世界知名度再度提高。1986年,乐队在德国“Monsters Of Rock”音乐节上进行表演并且获得了胜利,施茨恩克回忆:“那次音乐节的胜利让我们感到就像获得了摇滚乐奥运会的冠军一样令人激动”。
