A Bad Accent Can Go A Long Way

January 26th, 2010 by Lior Shamir

After more than 40 years in the business, German rock sensation The Scorpions have announced their retirement.

With timeless classics such as “Wind Of Change” and “Rock You Like A Hurricane”, The Scorpions have been selling out arenas for longer than I’ve been alive.

Tell me this: How did such a shit rock band make it so big and for so long?

With a tenure just shy of The Rolling Stones’ and a decade lead on U2, it’s clearly not a fluke.

What’s their secret sauce and where can I get me some?

    Great songwriting. Scorpions have had fantastic guitarists in their ranks. Bombastic live concerts. They have drive, presence, and a strange kind of charisma. And great songwriting. Controversial album art doesn’t hurt either ;)
