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 lineup from 1978–1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass guitar), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only constant member has been Schenker, although Meine has been the lead singer for all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1979, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively. Rolling Stone described the Scorpions as “the heroes of heavy metal“, and MTV called them “Ambassadors of Rock“. The band was ranked number 46 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme, with “Rock You Like a Hurricane“ at number 18 on VH1's list of the 100 Greate
