Scorpions is a Hard Rock band formed in 1965 in Hannover, Germany by Rudolf Schenker. They have experimented with various styles of Rock music including 1970's Hard Rock and 1980's Hair / Glam Metal (Heavy Metal). The band is best known for their iconic rock anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and other popular songs like "No One Like You", "Send Me an Angel", "Still Loving You", and "Wind of Change". Scorpions was ranked #46 on VH1's "Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" television program and their song "Rock You Like a Hurricane" holds the #18 spot on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.

After performing for 45 years, Scorpions initially announced their retirement following the release of their album "Sting In The Tail". However, due to their love for touring and creating new music, they decided to continue. They have written new songs, released new albums, and continued to tour extensively. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide (some sources even mention sales exceeding 150 million), Scorpions have established themselves as one of the most successful rock bands in history.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

After the overwhelming success of the last studio album Love at First Sting and the live album World Wide Live, the Scorpions were under enormous pressure in 1988. The musicians resisted and barricaded themselves in the studio for almost three years, where they worked meticulously with producer Dieter Dierks on the successor. On Savage Amusement, the Scorpions presented themselves more mature and demonstrated that they belonged to the avant-garde of hard rock more than ever in terms of production technology. Despite all the changes, the album was still a typical Scorpions work: a good pinch of barely restrained aggression and dynamics, beautiful harmonies and melodies, brilliant guitars and of course Klaus Meine's unique voice. No wonder that Savage Amusement, released on 16 April 1988, seamlessly continued the success of the previous albums and became another worldwide hit.
