The Rise and Fall of The Scorpions From 100 Million Albums to Watching Rock Leave Them Behind

Описание: The Rise and Fall of the Scorpions: 100 Million Albums, the Anthem of a Freed World — Then Silence

They sold an estimated 100 million albums. They played behind the Iron Curtain before it fell. Their ballad "Wind of Change" became the unofficial soundtrack of the most important political moment of the 20th century. Then grunge arrived — and America erased them like they had never existed. No scandal. No implosion. Just the spotlight moving on while they stood on stage, still perfect, suddenly invisible.

From post-war Hannover to the Moscow Music Peace Festival, from Blackout and Love at First Sting conquering America to the quiet fade after 1991 — this is the real story of a band that defined an era… and what happens when time decides to move without you.
