Origination[edit]

The band begining is in 1965. This may read in the official site of the band and alos in the book of Rudolf Schenker - Rock Your Life. Also this year the band celabrating the 50th years, so the year is 1965 not 1964. --Stolz (talk) 07:49, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Naming again[edit]

"The Scorpions" is incorrect, the name is just "Scorpions". It's not meant to be like "The Ramones" or "The Rolling Stones". Just "Scorpions". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.145.178.161 (talk) 20:03, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Krautrock?[edit]

Yes, they’re German. But that’s the only thing they have in common with the likes of NEU!, Popol Vuh or Cluster. Mr Larrington (talk) 16:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scorpions did not sell over 100 million records[edit]

That is patently false. Anyone want to come up with a more accurate figure? Otherwise I’m just going to delete it as its laughably inaccurate. Shhsbavavaa (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

never mind forget what I just said, i never heard of them and im surprised at how big they were Shhsbavavaa (talk) 00:16, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
