European success (1965-1977)
early
Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker were impressed by the Rock'n'Roll style, exported from the USA to Europe especially by Elvis Presley. Thanks to families with a helping hand, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker can be found in clubs in Germany with their bands since 1965. In 1965, Rudolf Schenker founds the band Scorpions in Hanover (FRG). In 1970, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker's older brother Michael switched from the band Copernicus to the Scorpions. At that moment, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker laid the foundation for a friendship that has remained just as well to this day.

First album, "Lonesome Crow"
Because from the beginning the Scorpions band wanted to face the biggest rock bands, Klaus Meine writes the lyrics of the songs in English. With the release of the album in 1972, Scorpions opened for bands like Rory Gallagher, Uriah Heep or UFO. The engine of the band is from the beginning Rudolf Schenker, who from 1965 had the goal that "once and for all Scorpions will become one of the biggest rock bands in the world", a goal that would be fulfilled only a few years later. Each member of the band then had the same goal. Michael Schenker changed in 1973 to the band UFO, establishing MSG (Michael Schenker Group) in 1976. His place is immediately taken by Ulrich Roth.

"Fly To The Rainbow"
In 1973, the Scorpions went on their first European tour with Sweet. The album "Fly To The Rainbow", released in 1974, contains Hard-Rock songs, the best known being "Speedy's Coming". Starting from 1974, Scorpions frequently perform in other European countries such as France, Spain or the Benelux countries. This album is seen by many fans as the first album because of the rock songs, songs absent on "Lonesome Crow". Other notable songs from "Fly To The Rainbow": Fly To The Rainbow, This Is My Song and They Need A Million.

"In Trance"
Starting with their third album, "In Trance", released in 1975, Scorpions work with internationally renowned producer Dieter Dierks. In the same year Scorpions organized a tour through Europe together with the band Kiss as Headliners. Since their first UK tour, Scorpions have been performing in the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, thus being recognized by UK rockers. The highlight of the concerts in Great Britain is the concerts in the legendary London club Marquee. Highlights from "In Trance": In Trance, Top Of The Bill and Life's Like A River.
"Virgin Killer" and "Taken By Force"
The 4th album, "Virgin Killer" released in 1976 received the "best album" award in Germany and the Golden Disc in Japan. Other notable songs from "Virgin Killer": Pictured Life, Hell Cat and Catch Your Train. The same fate as the album that preceded it also has the album "Taken By Force" released in 1977. Starting with this album, Scorpions changed the drummer, Rudy Lenners being replaced by Herman Rarebell. A year before Scorpions also changed the bass player, Francis Buchholz joining the band. Important songs from "Taken By Force": We'll Burn The Sky; Suspender Love and Steamrock Fever.
International success (1978-1992)
"Tokyo Tapes"
After Scorpions conquered, one by one, countries in Western Europe, in 1978 they made their debut outside of Europe. In April 1978, the Scorpions toured Japan, following numerous requests from fans in the Land of the Rising Sun. This is where Scorpions got their first taste of what it's like to be a star. Although the plane landed around 12 o'clock at night at Tokyo airport, 1000 fans were eagerly waiting to get their autographs. Also here, Scorpions release a live album with songs from the concerts. The Tokyo Tapes album is still today one of the most successful "Insider-Tips" in the history of rock music. Upon returning to Germany, several American fans wrote to them asking if they had anything against the US, because they play all over the world only in the US, no.
