SCORPIONS’ “ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE” MUSIC VIDEO COMES TO LIFE IN NEW OFFICIAL GRAPHIC NOVEL

Wolfgang Strauß — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:21:57 +0000

Scorpions are heading somewhere they’ve never been before: outer space.

Inspired by the iconic imagery of the “Rock You Like a Hurricane” music video, Scorpions: Hurricane is an officially licensed 96-page graphic novel that takes the legendary rock band on an outrageous sci-fi adventure.

Centuries from now, Scorpions aren’t just touring the world — they’re touring the galaxy.

Their latest stop is Venus-7, a mysterious planet rumored to be home to the greatest afterparty in the universe. But what starts as an intergalactic celebration quickly turns into a fight for survival when the band is captured by a technologically advanced society of warriors determined to keep their world free of men.

Now, Scorpions have to find a way to escape — and make it back for their next encore.

Part space opera, part action-comedy, Scorpions: Hurricane is unlike anything the band has done before.

“After more than six decades of rocking stages around the world, we’re ready to take fans on a different kind of journey. We’re excited to partner with Sumerian Comics on Scorpions: Hurricane, our first-ever graphic novel that lets us explore a bold new adventure unlike anything we’ve done before.” – Scorpions

New Live Single The Zoo

Wolfgang Strauß — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 06:35:36 +0000

Enjoy the zoo

And walk down 42nd Street

You wanna be excited too

And you will feel the heat.

In the late 1970s, 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan was one of the most vibrant streets in the bustling melting pot of New York City. Just a stone’s throw from Times Square, cheap peep shows stood next to sex shops, and drug stores crammed between shady facades, behind which you could donate blood for a few dollars. In the local scene, this street between Broadway and the Theater District was known as The Zoo. And around The Zoo, you could find everything that defined the sunny and dark sides of the Big Apple. When the Scorpions performed in New York in 1979 as part of their US tour, they couldn’t help but notice 42nd Street and its pulsating, yet gritty, nightlife. Klaus Meine immortalized the legendary street with his song “The Zoo.” And the iconic riff of Rudolf Schenker’s composition became one of the band’s most recognizable musical trademarks, cementing their place in the hard rock genre with the 1980 album “Animal Magnetism”.

Thus, “The Zoo” was also a must-have at the Scorpions’ now legendary stadium concert in their hometown of Hanover in July 2025 in front of 45,000 enthusiastic fans – and became one of the striking highlights on the live recording of “Coming Home”, which the band’s label will release on December 5th.

The single will be released on November 7th as a teaser for the album “Coming Home Live,” which will be released in December. Digital pre-orders also begin on November 7th.

60 years of Scorpions in numbers, data, facts:

· Over 120 million records sold.

· At the first Rock in Rio festival, the band played in front of 1.3 million fans.

· 10 sold-out concerts as one of the first bands from the West in Leningrad and later at the Moscow Music Peace Festival.

· Three consecutive sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in NY.

· Two dozen studio and concert albums, which have received nine gold and four platinum awards in Germany, among other countries.

· The Scorpions played over 5000 concerts worldwide.

· There’s Scorpions whisky, Scorpions beer, Scorpions postage stamps, a Scorpions street in Madrid, and in Los Angeles, October 6th is celebrated as Scorpions Day every year. Their awards are countless, including a World Music Award, an Echo Award, a star on the Hollywood Rock Walk, and induction into the Hall of Heavy Metal. In Brazil, a new species of spider was named after them, and countless children worldwide bear the band members’ names as a tribute.

· Worldwide, 127 precious metal awards were given: 58 platinum, 67 gold, and two silver. Most of the awards came from France (18) and the USA (14).

· The single “Wind of Change” is the best-selling single by a German band. More than 15 million copies have been sold. The song has been streamed over a billion times on Vevo and the same number of times on YouTube – more than any other song by a German band worldwide. It reached number one in the charts in eleven countries and charted in a total of 78 countries.

The countdown begins. Friday, get a taste of our new Coming Home Live Album.

Wolfgang Strauß — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 05:49:33 +0000

The song „Wind of Change“ was first released 35 years ago. It remains the most successful German rock single worldwide. Starting October 3^rd, you can get a preview of „Wind of Change“ from the upcoming album „Coming Home Live“.

If ever a song became an icon of a historical event, it is the anthem composition celebrating the fall of the Iron Curtain, the end of the Cold War, and the reunification of Germany – „Wind of Change“. The song has now been viewed more than a billion times worldwide on Vevo and just as many times on YouTube; no other German single has sold more copies, and the song has served as the soundtrack for half a dozen Hollywood films.

To mark the 35^th anniversary of German reunification and exactly 35 anniversary of German reunification and exactly 35 years after “Wind of Change” first appeared on the album “Crazy World,” the SCORPIONS’ label is releasing a truly extraordinary live recording of the song: as an appetizer for the album “COMING HOME – LIVE,” which will be released in December. It’s a recording of the SCORPIONS’ magnificent anniversary concert in Hanover’s stadium in July 2025. A moment of pure goosebumps: when 50,000 fans in the stadium sing in unison with the band and Klaus Meine, the performer, composer, and lyricist… “Now listen to my heart/it still believes in Love/waiting for the wind to change.”

Essentially, this is the second change to the lyrics of “Wind of Change.” After Klaus Meine symbolized the worldwide longing for peace and freedom using Moscow as an example in the original 35 years ago, “I didn’t think it was appropriate, in view of the terrible war in Ukraine, to romanticize Russia with lines like ‘Follow the Moskva / Down to Gorky Park.’ I wanted to make a statement in support of Ukraine. So the song began with ‘Now listen to my heart / It says Ukraina, waiting for the wind to change.'” Meanwhile, conflicts around the world have escalated further. “That’s why we changed the lyrics again on the current tour. ‘Now listen to my heart / it still believes in love / waiting for the wind to change.’ Whether it happens in Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, or anywhere else on our planet, we don’t want to lose faith in a peaceful future.”

SCORPIONS will release “COMING HOME LIVE” the iconic concert at the Hanover stadium, featuring all of the rockers’ biggest hits and many musical surprises, as a live album on vinyl and CD for fans on the 05th of december. Pre-orders are now available.
