14 Interesting Facts You Never Knew About Scorpions

Part of my work with Alex is to discover new channels to comment on, on YouTube. One of the videos I found was a playlist by The Scorpions. I was interested to find out some information about The Scorpions and that is where this post idea came from. My plan is to do the same for other bands and artists. However, in future I will try and keep to a more EDM-style act than The Scorpions. However, at the time they were out, they were one of my favourite bands. Therefore, I am bringing you this post about them.

There were many changes to the band lineup. This is true with every band that have been together over a long-term time period. However, two of the band members have been more-or-less constant. These include Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), and also singer Klaus Meine (singer).
The Winds of Change was about the changing political movements of the late 20th century in Eastern Germany. This included the demolition of the Berlin Wall between East and West Germany. Thus, East and West were united and Germany became one.

A Christian cult movement in the United Kingdom thought the song, “Winds of Change” was written for them. I wonder what the band would say?

The initial idea was just somewhere to put his ideas on the subject of music marketing. However, it has been going strong since then and (at the time of writing) this website is just over 3 years old. Ideas don't dry up because the industry is always changing. New websites with new features are being launched all the time. Therefore, Writer's Block does not feature. I hope you enjoy the blog.
