Something wrong?The voice behind "Wind of Change" and "Rock You Like a Hurricane" - Klaus Meine turned a Hanover hard rock band into one of the few German acts to crack the global arena circuit, then outlasted nearly everyone who started when he did.

, We’re from Germany but we grew up with English and American music which was such a strong inspiration for the young band.
When we started, there were KRAFTWERK and TANGERINE DREAM, and both bands also became very very strong internationally but in a different area, in a different field.
We did the ‘unplugged’ project, “Acoustica“, in Portugal. There was always something new and exciting.

About this person
Meine joined Scorpions in 1969, four years after guitarist Rudolf Schenker founded the group, and the two became the only constants across every album that followed. Born 25 May 1948, he brought both the frontman presence and the pen - writing most of the band's lyrics through decades of lineup changes and shifts in taste. By 2006, Hit Parader ranked him number 22 on its list of top heavy metal vocalists of all time. He's still the guy at the microphone, still singing the songs that made stadiums sing back.
