Terrific song: Scooter - J'adore Hardcore — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.162.176.190 ( talk) 16:14, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Any chance of anyone lengthening the article e.g. bigger history, list of samples (there are a hell of a lot) used in their songs, detailed album descriptions, etc etc?
Didn't want to create an account that I most likely won't use so I edited. Sorry to the person above.
I found an official Myspace Page for anyone who's interested:

German techno group? rofl
Who put this? What else what you class it as then? It's techno... happy hardcore, trance, whatever, all originate from techno. The band themselves call their music 'techno'... and their official website is called 'Scootertechno' DShamen 23:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
What a ridiculous thing to say! The equivalent of calling Scooter a techno band is calling Jesus a racist? What would you call Scooter then?
I agree, what a moron.
They are techno... hardcore, happy hardcore, trance are all offshoots of techno. To call them simply 'dance' is ridiculous. I don't see that categorization on other electronic dance artists.
There is a good word for Scooter's music - eurodance. 62.78.153.171 16:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Well it would seem that most people on here disagree... (unsigned comment left by 84.13.92.53)
It seems the majority consensus is that Scooter is a techno band. To the guy who said Scooter is "eurodance", are you really serious? No scooter fan will ever tell yuo scooter is an eurodance band. - Killeroid 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Scooter is not techno. Techno is a genre about repetative loops and electronic percussion, usually without melody (or there just simple melodies). That applies to any techno genre from detroit to hard techno, from minimal to acid techno. So, when Scooter made music like this style? Never. That's one thing that everything with 4/4 drum machine is mistakenly called techno by people who not into electronic music. And yes I know they say about themself that, they're a techno band. To be correct they played many different styles in the time. Like happy hardcore, hands up, anthem house, eurotrance, trance, hardtrance, a mix beetween them, etc. But not techno. Why does an electronic dance music band wouldn't be okay for description? --TaZaR 19:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I get a kick out of the people who argue that just about everything "isn't techno". Scooter's website repeatedly refers to their music as techno. Scooter themselves call their music "hardcore" in the lyrics of some of their songs. "Do you like your hardcore?" -- JHP ( talk) 10:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
"Techno" must (finally) be removed, Scooter are not known for having produced Techno. Maybe they produced 2,3 Techno tracks ("Bramfeld"), but that's it. Dance etc. ain't Techno like the media tells us... -- Gabbahead. ( talk) 09:06, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Then add "techno-ballad" (Billboard.com, which was used as source for the "Techno"), too. ;-) -- Gabbahead. ( talk) 16:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Are you kidding me? I am speechless. Scooter is far from techno. Just because they call themselves that does not mean they are techno. AC/DC colloquially called themselves rock n' roll, yet Wikipedia has the common sense to omit this from their page and classify them as hard rock and blues rock among a few others, but never rock n' roll. Why? Because they know their genres, and whoever is in charge here clearly doesn't. It sounds like they haven't read the Wikipedia page for Techno themselves. -- 2601:D:3A00:FB8:8D56:A474:653A:1F2 ( talk) 22:24, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

scooter is from scotland...
H.P. Baxxter Rick J. Jordan Michael Simon
<irony>all typical german names, isnt it? </ironi> Not their real names. H.P. is actually called Hans-Peter Geredees. ¬_¬
They are German. These are NOT their real names... they have no link to Scotland whatsoever.
"they have no link to Scotland whatsoever."... apart from the fact that Ultra-Sonic claimed in magazines that Scooter copied them to a tee, which was Scottish rave music.
I know this Ultra-Sonic connection was on the article from some years back... now seemingly removed. It's actually mentioned on the German wiki page.
The connection is much further if you have the M8 Magazines from the mid-1990s. -- Revolt ( talk) 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok, this article isn't written like a encyclopedia article but from a Bio side. Can someone please clean it up?
According to www.australian-charts.com the only songs that charted by Scooter were "The Logical Song" and "Nessaja" .. yet somehow other songs are noted there? It should be specified if it was just the club charts, because they are completely different to the regular charts. 211.30.195.154 03:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
The controversy section is poorly worded and EXTREMELEY biased. There is no proof that Scooter HASN'T got the licenses for the samples they use. And yes, it is techno. Cheesy? yes. Yet techno nonetheless.
Thats what I'm tryin to say lol, no proof they DONT have licensing!
I have noticed that this article is in danger of going into edit war. Anonymous IP addresses constantly add "fan sites" offering mp3 downloads and edit the genres. Some consensus should be reached or perhaps some expert attention is needed? Mstuomel 08:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
It would appear that you don't think they are techno whilst other users do. Well I suggest that you check their official website, where the band themselves class their music as 'techno' and numerous other website that also classify them as such. I shall stay out of such a petty argument other than showing you an example - check www.allmusic.com's description of what they think Scooter actually are. Also, if we're going to be fussy... Scooter haven't played happy hardcore for over a decade, nor done anything remotely 'ravey' either. And as most of their tracks since then haven't really been trance (other than a few exceptions) then what else can we class the rest of their music as? DShamen 10:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Scooter are the Spinal Tap of dance music; they walk the line between clever and stupid. As for what Scooter thinks Scooter is, they're the kind of techno that people who don't know what techno is call techno.
There is no edit war. WP:EL clearly states that these links are NOT acceptable and actually they should be treated like vandalism. Its a tried and true practice and if it happens the user(s) involved will be acted against via the normal linkspam/vandalism channels.-- Oni Ookami Alfador Talk| @ 22:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I thought I'd replace the image of "Celebrate the Nun" since they have a clearer picture in their 1991 album "Continuous". Hope nobody minds. Harout72
Right, fed up of this nonsense... as far as I'm concerned, they largely produce what can be loosely described as 'techno'... they have done happy hardcore and hardcore (both forms of 'rave' music) in the early 90s, and have always done a number of tracks with trance-like influences, and have more recently produced music with hard house influences. I'm all for the inclusion of all of these genres. DShamen 02:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I think using four nonfree images is a bit much in this article. Can we decide on one and get rid of the others? Album covers are really only fair use on the article about the album itself, but I would accept one (though other admins may differ). Rather than just removing them all I thought I would open it up for further discussion. Please see WP:FAIRUSE for more details. -- John ( talk) 21:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Syxx ( talk) 05:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for providing this link, now let me also ask you this, why do you insist on the single "Nessaja" being off of the Encore when 24 Carat Gold was released not long before Encore-Live and Direct. And this, you can find within the discography link you provided yourself immediately below Encore, have a look at the date, perhaps then you will be convinced that "Nessaja" was added only later on the Enhanced-version of Encore (this, they do within music industry when sales decline faster than expected). -- Harout72 ( talk) 20:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes to merger. Logical Manitobamountie ( talk) 17:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
No to merger Why just randomly merge the one Scooter single article into the band's page and leave all the other 16 singles' articles? Illogical if anything. Syxx ( talk) 21:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes to merger of current article. Not every single needs a seperate article, if other singles have enough info and citations for an article, that has no bearing on whether this article should exist. The main reason to keep this is that it is a cover, but then it should be an article about the song, with equal weight to the 2 artists performing it, with the initial version first. Yobmod ( talk) 20:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
No to merger. Illogical. Songs get their own pages, why single out one (and one of the more popular ones) to merge? I mean, it's not even going to be a merge, you're just going to delete it because that information can't go here. Some artists get pages to all their songs; Scooter doesn't have them all; why should we knock them down. To above: The Logical Song (Ramp) used to share a page with the original but they were separated. Logical Song was as much a cover as Maria was... I think. ILHI ( talk) 21:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Should there be a section regarding the controversy the band causes in the worldwide dance community? Im sure there are lots of soucres. MindWraith ( talk) 01:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Whilst the opening line of the first version says "Scooter is", the rest of the article uses non-American English ("their more well-known hits", "their début single", "played their first live show") and has continued to do since then. One line in a five year old stub article hardly seems justification for suddenly Americanising the whole article.
According to the Manual of Style: An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation uses the English of that nation. There are no American members in Scooter, the band has been to America about twice in their career and are not particularly big there. Whilst there are no British members in Scooter either, it is fair to say that they have stronger ties to that country than the U.S., what with 10 top 40 hits, a widely publicised number one album, numerous TV appearances, tours and even a single " Back in the U.K.". Syxx ( talk) 13:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I found this in the former members section:
Mark-One (Mark Blundel/Mark Lee, Born 22 July 1973) - 2001-2004, DJ

Where do all the chapters come from? I know Scooter's 2014 album is titled The Fifth Chapter, but I was wondering if bands themselves have defined their "chapters" officially?

Scooter's discography is extensive even without all the remixes they've done. The whole section should be split off into a separate article. Opinions? - Bell'Orso ( talk) 21:32, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Should there be a section regarding the controversy the band causes in the worldwide dance community? Im sure there are lots of soucres. MindWraith ( talk) 01:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Whilst the opening line of the first version says "Scooter is", the rest of the article uses non-American English ("their more well-known hits", "their début single", "played their first live show") and has continued to do since then. One line in a five year old stub article hardly seems justification for suddenly Americanising the whole article.
According to the Manual of Style: An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation uses the English of that nation. There are no American members in Scooter, the band has been to America about twice in their career and are not particularly big there. Whilst there are no British members in Scooter either, it is fair to say that they have stronger ties to that country than the U.S., what with 10 top 40 hits, a widely publicised number one album, numerous TV appearances, tours and even a single " Back in the U.K.".

I found this in the former members section:

Who is this guy? A google search shows nothing, and I have never heard of him. Can we find a source? -- AlmanacManiac ( talk) 03:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

As some of the editors dealing with Scooter articles may know, these are all vandalized by a static IP vandal from Greece, with his first edits starting from July 25th. Until all the IP's are blocked, I will keep on reverting all the Scooter articles until his activity has been stopped. Same goes for the Sash! and Faithless articles too.
Thank you for your attention. Have a nice day.

Where do all the chapters come from? I know Scooter's 2014 album is titled The Fifth Chapter, but I was wondering if bands themselves have defined their "chapters" officially? If not, I feel we probably shouldn't be using the device for this article. Humbledaisy ( talk) 01:04, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
When talking about the 6th Chapter of Scooter,it is said that Jay Frog rejoined the group as the main producer. But on the band members list, Marc Blou is credited as the main producer instead. 31.22.149.99 ( talk) 02:23, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

may we PLEASE add as genre 'electronica' & 'electronic dance music', b/c that song they had 'F*** the millennium' is electronica & electronic dance music. Gorillafan101 ( talk) 20:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
