I asked if he thought they would end up one of the biggest rock bands in the world and he said "no". But Rudolf never had any doubts.

Small world. A German guy skiing met a kid, that watched his neighbor's band from the 5th row- 25 years later after he carried their equipment to a gig with 5 people.

The Scorpions are the greatest German Export ever. But this is only my opinion.
