According to The Local, The Scorpions is calling it quits after 40 years of playing music. However, their end won't be abrupt. The band will release it's next album Sting in the Tail and embark on a two to three year tour before the final end

Sounds like they are "retiring" like Brett Favre.

Man did I love their music. “Rock You Like a Hurricane” has been a fav since I was a kid.

40 years playing rock and roll, and I can’t name a single one of their songs.

I know the name of the band, and I’m sure I’d recognize their hits if I heard them, but for the life of me, I can’t name a single one.

For most people in North America they were one hit wonders.

And now for something completely different...Scorpions from 1972. Different time...and definitely different music.

I used to work at a meat packing plant in the 80s and 90s that employed a lot of Eastern European refugees. One Ukrainian man in particular had been treated poorly by the authorities because he was a fan of “degenerate western music” i.e. he was a metal head. When the song “Winds of Change” came out he thought of it as an anthem for all the metal heads who had outlasted the Soviet empire.

The guy is now a big time conservative and his son is the front man of a relatively well known punk band.

Wow. I don’t know how many times I rocked out to ‘Rockin Like A Hurricane’ in my old Camaro while cruising around town back in the ‘80s.

Such good times.
