2 Scorpions Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal.

The Scorpions are not just the number one German Rock Band, They are the Number One Rock Band in the world for all time... Their diversity and talent are beyond amazing and they certainly know how to entertain...

Amazing band! They have so many great songs and Klaus Meine is a fantastic singer.

Never heard of them but if their number 1 they got to be the best German band

In my opinion The Scorpions and Queen are the best bands of all time
