![[UNCUT] “บอสณวัฒน์” ลากไส้!! ใครหนุนหลัง "แม่ตั๊ก ป๋าเบียร์" I คนดังนั่งเคลียร์ I 30 ก.ย. 67](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QlD7mU2KKRk/mqdefault.jpg)
The Fall of the Soviet Union, reunification of Germany as the wall between east and west came down.. Scorpions being a German Band had a major impact on them for sure.
I was stationed in Bavaria from ‘83-‘86 before the Wall came down. Scorpions were a local legend by then. “The Zoo” blasted from my track 24/7. Not surprised this anthem caught the mood at the end of the Cold War and our hopes.
@@chrisnewton5126 I was Stationed in Japan, USN, first half of my career messin with the Soviets sittin off the coast of Vladivostok. It was such a crazy time when they collapsed.
@@fccrick I was born in the USSR and am glad that it disintegrated, the prison of peoples
@@fccrick thank you bro. It was a huge relief to see it happen after spending three years with the basic mission of plugging the Fula Gap. I drove to Berlin in ‘86 via autobahn and it was surreal. STILL MISS THE 80’s
@@chrisnewton5126 I feel you. I was there in Neu Ulm West Germany. Wiley Barracks 21G Pershing Material Nuclear Specialist. They did free concerts back then in Germany.
This song is associated with the end of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. The Scorpions played The Soviet Union in 1988 and 1989. On their 1989 visit, they noticed big changes in just a year "Winds of change".
What gets lost during this time is the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests where we actually saw millions of Chinese students stand up for democracy and human rights. No one knows how many people were murdered by the Chinese military when they cracked down but generations of younger Chinese people under 35 have no clue what their government did since the internet is censored. When push comes to shove the Chinese government is no different then the old Soviet Union or North Korea they are communist and every bit as controlling and brutal with their "re-education camps".
@@dsfddsgh We keep screwing around here in the US and our people are about to start realizing this.... IN THIS GENERATIONS LIFETIME!!!
The time when we thought that world peace is possible .... until yugoslawia broke apart. And that people love to vote for motherfuckers.
@@dsfddsgh whats funny is that its fax machines is what spread the images out of china.
This song back then was one of the most important song you will ever hear
It still is the most important song you will ever hear.
it was a time of hope for a better world. sadly that world is still to come.
This was the Time that the IRON CURTAIN came down Separating East and West Germany
This was when "The Wall" came down, I remember watching it on TV as a kid and thinking what a crazy time I was living in. I didn't know what was coming in my adult years.
Same here man.
me too brother
Right!?!!we thought it was crazy times back then,not even knowing what was in store for us now....
I remember watching East and West Germans tearing down the Berlin wall, using machines, hammers, their own hands. It was on cable TV and it was incredible to view - knowing history (good history) was happening right before my eyes. Everyone kept playing this song - that night and for days after. That song still touches my heart. Thanks for this.
Born in 1961, the year the wall was build. Always taught "beware of the evil from the east", only to find out 40 years later that there was no evil, only people that where taught otherwise. Now 20 years after that event try to teach my grandchildren one lesson for life: "Walls don´t protect, they divide." There are no races, there are only humans.
Remember the days a US President want´s to build a wall at the mexican border and let the mexicans pay for it? This days the mexicans would be happy to finance the wall to keep away the american covid people of texas and arizona away from mexico.
Every coin has two sides. The art is to flip it so that it stands on the edge and you can have a look on both sides.
The scene you were interested in was a woman being presented with a flag for her fallen soldier husband. The soldiers were holding her for support so she wouldn't fall to the ground.
I always thought it was an execution also...
no, the scene they are asking about is the execution of a political prisoner in Communist China
Oh my gosh! I have been trying to research the meaning behind each brief video section in that video for years and could not find anything at all. How did you find that info, also, do you have the stories of the other clips? It has driven me nuts for years.i always thought she was being beheaded.
@@reha1066 If this was an execution it would have been a bullet judging from where it looks like it was.
It’s sad because we had such hope for the future back then. There was so much less racial division… divisions in general of all kinds. I wish musicians and stars would do the uplifting, unifying kind of songs and concerts like they used to. I think it would make a difference culturally for our younger generation, and everyone actually.
They fear the Cancel Culture.....
So very true. I was at The Scorpions gig at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in '99. It was a concert to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. During this song all these denim and leather clad, hairy-arsed, heavy rock fans, many of whom were former East Germans, were openly crying and hugging each other. That night we really did feel like brothers and we felt we could change the world. Sometimes, these days, I feel so sad and angry about where we ended up. I do wish we could rekindle the feeling we had that night.
So much less racial division??? My God, no wonder the world is so screwed up. For someone to make a statement like that is so ignorant I don't even know where to begin telling you how wrong you are. But perhaps you should go read a book about the laws that were in place, the elected officials who were in place, in the 80s and 90s. SMDH
it was the inevitability of giving my people (americans) no more clearly defined enemies to hate. in the presence of a vacuum, we turned on ourselves.
humans will never love one another. best we accept that and move on.
@@clab5864 That goes both ways whether some ppl realize that or not . Me , I against cancel culture no matter where it comes from
One of the best songs of all time! From the performance, to the composition, to the meaning. A masterpiece, which should be in anyone's top 10 list.
I was 16 when the Berlin Wall came down and I heard this song when it first came out. I'm 48 years old so that tells you how much of an effect this song has had for 32 years.
I was in college and it had a huge cultural impact, one of the first ‘I’m watching history being made’ moments for an entire generation.
I was 9. I remember it like yesterday. It is a core memory. That and watching the Challenger explode will always childhood memories that I recall vividly.
If you're 48 then you were born in 75-76, the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. You would have been 13-14 max!
@@js0988 , I turn 49 in August.
The song is about the destruction of the Berlin Wall. The song is very historically significant and has a deep meaning. Mr Gorbachev TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!
Ah yes, a comment made by my man Ronald Reagan at a time when President's actually still had balls and cooperation.
Love Ronald Reagan and this song
It actually was written about the fall of communist Soviet Union....but came really into fruition of the Berlin Wall coming down. Unfortunately when Reagan said that it was actually years later that the wall did come down.
I remember watching that speech. I was a teen, and my dad was in the military (Air Force). We always thought we were one step away from warring with Russia. The world would be quite different if Reagan hadn't been as charming a guy as he is and truly sought a friendship with Mr. Gorbachev.
He could have said "Do not come" But that would have gotten us and millions of Eastern Europeans no where.
When Scorpions were in Russia for the Moscow Peace Festival 1989, Klaus Meine was impacted by the ending of the Cold War and being inspired by all those hundreds of thousands of kids who came to the show and the feeling of unity. Ironically, Klaus wrote this song just months before the wall came down thus making it sort of the theme song of that event, even though it wasn't directly associated with it, as many have been led to believe. It's a nice fairy tale though. Klaus is a very sensitive, beautiful person who feels things deeply. You have to also realize that he grew up in West Germany near the Wall. It's very important lyrics.
In Europe, it means something very heavy duty in that they have grown up with oppression and stories of that sort of thing, whereas here in the States, while we love the song, the impact isn't as meaningful.
When they start the song, they always say (not a quote), that their ancestors came with guns, they (Scorpions) come with guitars. Wish I could remember that quote.
Looked up the composer[s] of the song, it was entirely composed by vocalist Klaus Meine, I thought guitarist Rudolf Schenker was a co-writer but just Klaus; what an amazing piece of music, an example of a perfect song. Great reaction , thanks!
Scorpions are German! It's about resolving of the German conflicts and teardown of the Berlin wall
Back when the media was trying to unite us instead of rip us apart... Love you guys! TY
The "Wind of Change" that was blowing was the fall of the Soviet Union, which is what the song is about, but when the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, the song became the unofficial anthem for the German Reunification, an event that politically lasted from the fall Wall to the official reunification on October 3, 1990
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” - U.S President Ronald Reagan.
It’s about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Been listening to this song all my life. I still can't whistle the last part because every time I reach the end I have tears in my eyes.
One of my all time favorites....Klaus definitely has a unique voice. The fall of Soviet Union and then the tearing down the wall between East and West Germany. Was couple years out of high school when the latter happened...surreal moment....and this song exemplifies the feelings the world had at that moment. Next y'all should check out 'Send Me An Angel' and 'Rock you like a hurricane'. Much more of their music to delve into 💗🕊️
I was a kid when the wall came down and this song is forever in my heart the sound of our reunification. This brings tears to my eyes even now. What a great moment in time! I would not have met any of my closest friends if the wall did not come down. Such a huge moment in time
I remember watching it on tv with my family when it came down in 1989,I was 7 years old,I still wonder what did putting up a wall between east and west accomplish for the 26 years it was up!, as a person of German descent (my dad was born in Germany) I can’t even imagine going through that!
The Berlin wall came down marking the end of the cold war, this was the theme tune :)
I was in Europe when The Wall fell. I still get goosebumps every time I hear this song. It was about change and the hope for peace. Peace lasted for about 8 months until the Gulf War started. :(
I remember when this was played on the radio. I'd tell my buddies to shut up so I could hear those guitars sing
This video started with clips of the violence in the 1980s, the US hostages in Iran, the terrorists attacks in Beirut, the Soviet Red Army and the Chinese Army, the Cold War. It then transitioned to hope the fall of the Berlin Wall (reunification of Germany), the Pope visiting the USSR, Nelson Mandela in South Africa, and the meeting of President George Herbert Walker Bush with Mikhel Gorbachev of the USSR. (Sorry about the spelling) It was a strange time to be growing up in, you don't realize that history is in the making right in front of your eyes.
Well said guys perfect reaction ♥️
Came out way before Desert Storm. It's mainly about the wall collapse between East and West Germany but fits in man other situations (as shown in the vid).
This song came out in 1990. Desert Storm lasted about 6 weeks at the beginning of 1991. Yes it's about German reunification, but that and Desert Storm were actually close in time. The video highlights several major events of the late 80s/early 90s.
I’m going solely on memory when this song came out. It was an exciting time. The USSR was disbanding, the Berlin Wall came down and Communism was crumbling. The wind of change. Everyone was hopeful, crying with joy and relief for their new freedom.
It was a truly amazing time.
In the lyrics, Mosqva or Moskva is Moscow. Gorky Park is in Moscow.
Moskva is the river
I still remember watching live the wall coming down.
The scorpions no one like you, the zoo, still loving you, rhythm of love, rock you like a hurricane are some nice gems.
Still Loving you is a classic that should be on everyone's playlist. Schenker and his flying V guitar - always awesome.
"There's no one like you" & "Send me an Angel" are a few other classic Scorpions songs to react to!
Just „no one like you“✌🏼
The power of this song never fails to give me goosebumps. 🤘
This was the fall of the Soviet Union. I was visiting their fall in Lithuanian at this time. It was like watching history happen. This song was inspiring. There were signs everywhere saying, "Russian soldiers go home."
The scorpions are our biggest export you could say, as far as being a band from germany. Theyre known worldwide. And like many bands from back in the day, theyre still rockin stages to this day.
The wind of change was written about the bringing down of the Berlin wall. Guys Their 1st album "Animal Magnetsim" Is awesome. This is the Pride of Germany.
You are right Animal Magnetism is a great album. Their first album was actually Lonesome Crow way back in 72.
Animal was actually their 7th album I think....Scorpions are an old band with many many songs and styles to choose from. 🤟
Klaus, something so special. After almost 35 years the hair still stands up on my arms and neck!😎
Saw them a few times back in 91 when this album came out and they sound way better live than on the record. Klaus's voice is amazing.
My favorite Scorpions song. It's meaning is so powerful.
This song ist about when das Berlin Wall came down, millions of Germans were freed,
und so many separated families were reunited. I still hate seeing das remains of that
terrible wall. Bless das American president Reagan und Russian president Gorbachev.
I've walked through Gorky Park with Russian friends...It ist quite pleasant there. :-)
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
A very powerful song! Great band!
Fall of Soviet control of east Germany talking about the fall of the Berlin Wall, I was stationed in Berlin in 1984
When my daughter was born and fussing to go to sleep.. this was my go-to song I sing to her with a back rub.. always went out like a light.
She knows the song as of today...30 years later when it is played.
“Wind of Change” is about the destruction of the Berlin Wall. The song speaks of sights one can visit in Russia, such as the Moskva River in Moscow that flows though Gorky Park, a local theme park. This is to portray the changing times of freedom of movement.
It's hard for people who didn't live though the Cold War to understand. It is in many ways how our grand parents would discuss the Great Depression and we couldn't understand. For us the Great Depression was a hard period of time. But for those who lived though it the Depression was going to last the rest of their lives. They were always going to be poor. They were always going to be one illness or one accident away from losing everything and dying of starvation.
The same is true for the Cold War. We didn't just think; we knew one day very soon, some incident or some accident would cause either the U.S. or U.S.S.R. to launch their missiles, the other side would reply and on that day the human race would die. PERIOD. We had no illusion of survival like our parents in the 50's and 60's. We were not taught "Duck and Cover." We were only taught to hope you are incinerated by an initial blast rather than wondering through the rubble blind with 3rd degree burns over your body until you died.
And the end of the Cold War was not all celebration either. It was a very scary time. We'd been taught that the other side isn't just going to roll over and die. Before they go down they'll launch their missile knowing it is the end of everything because that is how insane and crazy they are. To our surprise that did not happen. But like the end of the Depression the end of the Cold War was the end of an era which included an existential threat to our very lives. And like us with the Great Depression it is hard for those who did not live though the Cold War to appreciate the significance of its end.
Whats most scary is that you have no clue this is "Cold war". Education for US please. No disrespect intended. Your youth need better education
I was at the Berlin Wall the day they took it down...as an American serving in Germany, it was a surreal moment. Freedom was at hand for East Germany
Unfortunately , this was a monumental trojan horse move that opened the door for the stasi to be able to takeover western Germany by getting into the majority of top positions in Germany . Very glad for the semi freeing of Eastern Germany but very sad as this led to the creation of the dictatorship called the EU and the overall wreckage of every Euro country
Thank you for your service
That is, I apologize, I hate to use this over-used word, but there simply is no other word in the English language that fits, that is AWESOME.
I remember it so well and this song encapsulates the feeling I experienced then and now. ❤️🇨🇦
The US won the cold War, but completely lost the peace.
This song perfectly captured a moment in history. A moment when we, as a species, began to dare to imagine that our future may not end in Nucear Oblivion.
Our world has been through so much. When I was your age, our threat was nuclear war. Still is but on a smaller scale since the agreement to reduce arms. When they ended the Cold War and brought down the Berlin Wall, we learned that if we are to survive we must strive for democracy, freedom, equality, environment protection … live like brothers. And although we disagreed, it was civil, it was negotiated, it was just. But now, I can see we’ve learned nothing from our past. 30 years ago I remember we had hope in our hearts, now hate dominates. It took only one man, just like it did in Germany, with Hitler. This song used to be inspirational, now it’s an anthem for what we lost, once again.
I'm listening April 10 2022 ,can you imagine what's happening.
The fall of a communist empire and the freeing of 100s of millions .. only by knowing can we prevent recurrence .. be strong, be free
After the end of the cold war and former Soviet satellite states become independent and more democratic, I had the dream that the world would become a better place. But enemies are made for a $ to rule over the "powerless" (I use this word on purpose, but we,the people everywhere, are not powerless, we give our power away). Nothing really changed, it got even worse. We all, the ordinary people and artists, have to use and raise our voice for those who are unheard to make the wind of change a storm, blowing away the atrocities of our time and be friends instead of foes we don't know.
Me hearing this song and watching you to fairly cool people react to it makes me a little happy and a lot sad. I am old, I thought I'd be long dead by now but seeing your reaction and comments throughout this song is a clear illustration on how really bad things happen in the world... a complete lack of perspective and history.
First off this song is a heartfelt and very REAL celebration of the unofficial but quickly followed official end of the Cold War by a band that is from west Germany and specifically West Berlin. How anyone on the planet can be so "socially educated/indoctrinated by the media and the very few" but be completely unaware of even a smidgen of the real world just a few decades ago is shocking.
Here's the deal, if you were alive during the Cold War and lived anywhere in a metropolitan area of the US, the EU, the UK, or for that matter anywhere in the world you lived under the very real, very present, very clear and present threat of certain death at any moment best case... worst case you'd be sifting through the rubble in the horror show and breakdown of civilization in a poisonous stone age world of savagery a lot like Mad Max afterwards. The number of times the world literally almost came to a horrific end during my own lifetime was shocking.
My own particular generation both in the free world and in the USSR got a clue just a little bit and through sheer will power the massive race to the end of the world just stopped. Fear of "the other" no longer worked as a way to keep the masses supporting the delusion that propped it all up. Too bad SOMEHOW the people my generation would consider cavemen like thugs, goons, and buffoons along with the help of quite a few psychopaths and useful idiots has just decided to replay the entire recipe of fear and blame of "the other" to build a repressive order that nobody seems aware they can ignore and opt out of at this point.
You guys listen to enough 80's music to wake up...
maybe take a listen to Judas Priest Electric Eye as a start, that one's pretty clear and compare the lyrics to what you voluntarily submit to and way worse today. Then maybe start listening to Iron Maiden, Tesla, and a bunch of other 80's music and reinterpret what they are talking about.
Wanna know why 60's, '70s, '80's music is great? You'll note that it was saying exactly opposite of what the TV (that would be the internet now), The government stooges, and "the man" was shoving down your throat. How come they seem the same today? We'll gee, that would be easy to figure out wouldn't it. Wanna know who the big bad enemy is today? Well do a quick run down of whoever you "hate" and are supposed to be scared of... "the other", whoever you think is absolute evil based on who you are listening to... a giant trick to distract you from the corrupt fools put in charge of the place. They certainly don't want the finger put on them...
I agree with everything you said except 80s music. It was projecting a generally positive message UNTIL 1984, when all the sudden it started promoting adultery, illicit drugs, tearing down traditions, anti-marriage, anti-personal responsibility, women becoming aggressive and independent, etc. 1984…yep…almost like it was “predicted”. Lol.
I’m ready missing my two kids in the military .After this . Grow up with this
It was as poignant of a song when it was released, and is just as poignant now. And it still will be in the future.
Which makes it such a great song. I still have a chunk of the Berlin wall packed away.
"Almost made me get emotional"! I always get emotional listening to this song!!!!
When I was in high school in the 1970's a neighbor hosted an exchange student from East Germany. The Berlin Wall still existed. She was utterly amazed that they could literally take her shopping and to restaurants all over the city or even into a different US state without having to stop at checkpoints to show "identification papers". That's what East Germany and West Germany was like after World War II. Divided. No going anywhere without showing "papers", no crossing the East/West border to visit family or friends without government permission. I was actually surprised the East German government gave this teenage student permission to spend a few months going to school in the US. At any rate, this is a great song by the Scorpions, thanks for reacting!
Scorpions is one of the best rock bands but underrated.
A MOVING VIDEO DISPLAYING SOME HALLMARKS MOMENTS PRE/POST COLD WAR ERA, IT IS SAD HOW PEOPLE TREAT EACHOTHER, BRINGS A TEAR TO ONES EYE.
The video also shows the protest in Tainan Square, the man trying to stand in front of the tank and the part where you thought something violent happened was the arrest of a student protester. There was a lot going on in this video.
Glad y’all did this song and please listen to more scorpions, they’re great!!
Yes Asia they did what you think they did. This is a song about change for the good. The war against Communism in general but mostly the fall of the wall .... Very Powerful. Not all wars are fought in vein. I love Scorpions. They are so underrated. Check out When the Childten Cry by White Lion. Fire 🔥
this song is about unity , leaving the past behind and doing better as apeople as a whole being united together in love for each other , was writen about the fall of the berlin wall
Desert Storm was wait after this video came out by decade I think
I suggest you listen to "No one like you" Holiday" "the zoo" and " Send me an angel" to really see Klaus Meine vocal range.
No One Like You - that was "our song" for me and my girl back in the 80s. Making out in my buddy's 67 Chevy Nova.
@@Frostrazor mine too, they have so many great songs!!💯🔥🎶
React to “When the children cry” by White Lion
Wind of change is beautiful, it’s about the Berlin Wall coming down….it was separation caused by Adolf Hitler, he was an evil human
Iconic band, iconic song
Thas song is about the beginning of the end of the cold war
This song has so much nostalgia for me from my youth. Thank you for doing this one
Such a powerful song. Still chokes me up. Sad that what this song is about is taking place again in 2022. Prayers for Ukraine.
It was about the Soviet Union collapse
U both have to listen to all their songs! LOve the Scorpions... This song came out during my University days, best time of my entire Life! The University of Arizona! Go Wildcatz!!!
Scorpions: Holiday or Still loving you.
I love hearing BJ's take on the music!!😃he should be given the opportunity to give his point of views more often!! Thank you for reacting to this amazing song by such an amazing band!!✌
React to Raw thoughts by Chris webby
This was during the Cold War. I was stationed in Germany and have lived there for 20 years. I have family there. It was very sad to hear of all the people that have died trying to get into West Germany at the time. As a military guy, we could see the border but were always instructed not to say or make any gestures towards the East German guards. In the week or so of the wall coming down, there were people still dying trying to escape. Many years later as I was staying with family over there I had the chance to go to Checkpoint Charlie. They have a museum where you can go in and see all the different ways people tried to escape. The truly amazing part, there is a restaurant in Berlin that used to be a tv tower. It actually rotates 360 degrees giving you a great view of Berlin. We had gone up there to eat and as you look out the windows you could see the line between East and West. I wasn't a real line but you could see where all the newer buildings stand and where all the old East German buildings stand. It's gotten better over the years but seeing the difference was heartbreaking.
Thank you for this explanation
It was the most devious Trojan horse event of all time . The Stasi now run all of Germany and through the EU , almost all of Europe . Europe is shot and this event was the start of it .
Scorpions are Germany’s greatest export since beer. One of the greatest rock bands ever.
As an East-German, you can't listen to this song without getting tears in your eyes. And I think many people from ex UdSSR-states feel the same.
Being from western Germany I exactly feel the same. Immer Pipi in den Augen.
U guys need to do do Queensryche
I'm telling you're gonna be blown away, do take hold of the flame or silent lucidity
Great band.
check out you and i by the scorpions
This Brings Back Great Memories Of My Brother From The US Army And I Rolling Out From Fort Bragg In The Z28 Conv Jamming This Song Getting Ready To Go To Raise Some Hell In Fayetteville NC>> We Are Both Disabled Veterans !!! >> Awesome Song!!! God Bless You 2!!! Airborne Baby!!!!!!
The bands parents and grandparents have probably seen a lot of war times. They are a German band.
I agree,my opinion the greatest ballad of all time.
Always adored this song from its release and im 39 now.
They are from Germany. You’re young but you may remember the wall that separated east and west Germany. That wall came down and they were all united. Families who have not seen each other in years for we’re now free to come and go and see each other
Blue you're my boy!!!!✊😭
This song refers to all the events happening in the years 1989-1991 (Germany, Berlin, Moscow, Desert storm, Romanian, China...).
All the videos from our past decades ...you learn one TRUTH...MUSIC brings the ENTIRE globe together and this they cant stop and THIS they fear!!!!....Screw them they cant stop us!!! My son is in the military in Germany and the current BS administration has me biting my nails daily guys. But beautiful people like yall bring me peace at times ....yall don't stop what you do, good people.
This wasn't Desert Storm. This was November 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell. I was stationed then in Germany (76th US Army Band). I had some friends in the 298th US Army Band (Berlin), who were partying on that wall with the students and citizens when it came down. A great feeling of relief and progress... at the time. Things change.
the wind of change was in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. there was East and West Germany. and from that moment Germany was unified
This is my teenage years.
Winds of Change....Such a hopeful time for the West. The Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union fell (hypothetically ending Cold War). It was a time for celebration and hope. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way.
The reunification of Germany took place through Peace Agreements, among its main actors were Pope John Paul II, President Ronald Reagan and the leader of the Union of Socialist Republics. Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev...
Great song! If u want to hear some great guitar playing.... react to some STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN.
I grew up listening to this song. As a kid I never imagined the Wall would come down n the Soviet Union would end. They were like the ultimate baddies cos everything was black n white to me as a child. As I grew older I understood the value of hope n what it means to hope for the future. One which is better than our own for our children. I always cry by the end now cos I can empathize with those who waiting to be free, waiting to realise that hope. Thanks for the reaction guys. Love the Scorpions.
It's about the ending of the cold war!
Being stationed in Europe from 1972-1985-6 I was able to get within 2blocks of check point Charlie. I just sat on the curb staring at the wall 🧱 and coming up with ways of defeating it!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Hi guys, when you not afraid of very fast and hard metal/heavy metal/speed metal/power metal, just give "Accept" a try. A german Metal Band
from the early '70s till today but with frequent separations and reunions. My absolute favorite Band combo is with the front singer Udo Dirkschneider.
He has a absolute unique voice and i love all the Songs, sung by him. Udo Dirkschneider had a own band during the separations from Accept.
His band named U.D.O. and they had also a few world famous songs. Following Songs you should check out:
