In Trance was the best-selling RCA album in Japan, where a regular SCORPION mania broke out. In 1975 the SCORPIONS toured Europe, sharing top billing with KISS. In Germany that same year, they were voted best live group. During their first UK tour in 1975, the SCORPIONS entered what might be called “the lion?s den”, playing at Liverpool?s legendary Cavern Club. In the birthplace of hard rock, they succeeded in gaining the acceptance of the most dyed-in-the-wool British fans. Gigs at the renowned London venue, the Marquee, were further highpoints of the mid-1970s.
The SCORPIONS achieved their ambition to be the top German hard rock band, when their fourth album Virgin Killer (1976) won the “LP of the Year” award in Germany. In Japan, Virgin Killer gained them their first Gold Disc. Their follow-up album Taken by Force (1977) was also awarded a Japanese Gold Disc. In 1978 the SCORPIONS toured Japan, the world?s second largest music market, where they got a foretaste of what it was like to be superstars.
Their seventh album Lovedrive was released in the USA in 1979, and was the first SCORPIONS production to receive a Gold Disc there.
Van Halen launched their musical career in the mid-1970s with cover versions of SCORPIONS songs: Speedy?s Coming (from Fly to the Rainbow) and Catch Your Train (from Virgin Killer).
In 1984 the SCORPIONS became the first German hard rock band to play three successive gigs in front of 60,000 fans at New York?s Madison Square Garden.
Rolling Stone called the SCOPRIONS “the heroes of heavy metal”. The SCORPIONS were admitted to the exclusive club of the world?s 30 greatest rock groups. Their ballad Still Loving You became an international rock anthem. In France alone, the single sold 1.7 million copies. The song unleashed a wave of hysteria among French fans not seen since the Beatles and became the SCORPIONS? musical trademark around the globe.
The SCORPIONS? most memorable appearances as headliners were at the 1983 US Festival in California?s San Bernadino Valley in front of an audience of 325,000 and at the first Rock in Rio in 1985 where they were cheered by 350,000 enthusisatic South American SCORPIONS fans.
