CONGRATULATIONS TO ROB & AMBER ON THEIR 1700TH REACTION VIDEO!!! And YAY that it got to be Scorptions!! (I would have asked for "The Zoo", but maybe next time.) Well done, you guys!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (And this is your fourth Scorpions song, after "Wind of Change", "No One Like You", and "Still Loving You". PLEASE do "The Zoo"... the riff is incredible. You can also do "Rock You Like a Hurricane", or even "Rock Believer", which is on their brand new album - nearly 50 years after the band formed. Klaus Meine is the lead singer. I believe the lead guitarist is Rudolph Schenker.
Rudy is the founding member and rhythm guitarist though he does play lead on occasion, often when a song calls for a twin lead or harmony lead part. Matthias Jabs has been the lead guitarist since 1979. He toured for the Lovedrive album, but first studio album for him was Animal Magnetism. I didn't realize it was their 1700th reaction., that's awesome! Congrats Rob and Amber!
I saw them in 1981 with Bon Jovi as the warmup band. Imagine that?! They are a German band, that originally formed in the mid 1960s. Klaus Meine is the lead singer (now 74). They cover different genres, to include Glam rock, heavy metal & hard rock. For some odd reason you've landed on their lighter stuff. "Rock You Like a Hurricane"{have to do the music video!!}, "No One Like You", "The Zoo" and "Big City Nights" are Hard ROCK!
@@jayjeffrey1724 or Always Somewhere, Holiday, Send me an angel, Coast to coast, When the smoke goes down or Bad boys running wild. I've loved them since 1979, their so Amazing live!! Seen them a few times in 80', 82' and twice in 83'. His voice is stellar live!! ❤️🎼❤️🔥
They are good, but the older the better...the Blackout album was always my all time favorite album...I love every song on that. I love the title track, Blackout a lot, u give me all I Need is another awesome one off that album...
Still remember the first time I heard and saw Scorpions on MTV with Rock You Like a Hurricane......memories.... great song. Y'all should really check out Send Me an Angel if you haven't yet. Keep on exploring 🕊️💗
I wish every It's wise before a hurricane especially Why is before a hurricane, especially ascending? The scorpions video for rock you rock you like a hair kind brother I say😊😊😊😅😅😅😊😊😅😅😅😅
If you know somebody in a hurricane area before the hurricane hits a base, share the circumturned on my scorpions, Rocky locker hurricane video. I'm pretty oh there's a picture of you😊😊😊😊
Scorpions are still amazing after so many years, their singer has that unique kind of voice that if you would wake me up in the middle of the night with their song, I would instantly know who it was. And Jay and Amber, I feel like you are my friends that I've known for years, love it that you liked this song that much.
"THE ZOO" by The Scorpions is a BANGER...one of my favorites. You won't forget them after hearing this song!! Also "Rock You Like A Hurricane"...seriously, Scorpions ROCK!! Klaus Meine - lead vocals Matthias Jabs - lead guitar, backing vocals Rudolf Schenker - rhythm guitar, backing vocals Francis Buchholz - bass guitar, backing vocals Herman Rarebell - drums, backing vocals
🤘😎🤘 Sweet Reactions. First time I seen Scorpions in concert was 1988. I was 16 and they were on The Monsters of Rock tour with Kingdom Come, Dokken, Metallica and Van Halen. They Kicked Butt! When their set was done, there was a 30 minute wait for Van Halen to set up, and a food fight broke out in Mile High Stadium. Over 57,000 people throwing foods and drinks at each other. Miss the '80s. 😁
The Scorpions: THE ZOO The song THE ZOO is one of the coolest riffs in rock you will hear. THE ZOO - THE ZOO - THE ZOO - Had to say it three times in a row because it is that good... :)
Klaus Meine is the singer. Rhythm guitar and founding member is Rudolph Schenker. Lead guitar is Matthias Jabs. They are so awesome. I’ve been listening to them since I was 11 years old in 1978. A friend had their live album Tokyo Tapes. Ive seen them live many times. They never fail to put on a great show. Even now in their 70’s, they rock hard. They recently finished a North American tour. You need to check out some of their older songs like The Zoo, Loving You Sunday Morning, Dynamite, Blackout, Always Somewhere, Holiday, Lovedrive, Don’t Make No promises(Your Body Can’t Keep), Make It Real, Only A Man and many others. Another great band that you haven’t listened to yet is Y&T. I know you’ll love them as much as Scorpions.
"Don't stop at the top" - touch the sky before you drop. Great Scorpions song and very inspirational. Everything from his voice to guitars to the drumming is just incredible!!!
Check out by the Scorpions (their live performances are especially good): "Loving You Sunday Morning" "Holiday" "The Zoo" "Rock You Like a Hurricane" "I'm Leaving You" "Big City Nights" "As Soon as the Good Times Roll" "Don't Stop at the Top" "Passion Rules the Game" "Media Overkill"
Germany bands of the 80s had such a gift creating songs you liked instantly and could sing immediately, Scorpions, Accept, Dokken, Warlock, Helloween, Running wild Other great Scorpions songs : Rock you like a hurricane, Coming home, Passion rules the game, Blackout, When the smoke is going down, Holiday, the Zoo, Can't live without you, Bad boys running wild, Don't stop at the top, Walking on the edge, tease me please me
We saw them with Great White as the opening band at Blossom Music Center (near Cleveland). They were by far the loudest band I've ever heard. We were 25 rows back and the sound moved your hair and clothing - it wasn't wind. It was the pressure coming off the speakers. They have dozens of hits for you guys to do.
This record 'Savage amusement' in 1988 was a truly underrated album by the Scorpions... this single, 'Passion rules the game'... 'Believe in love'... "Don't stop at the top"... 'Media overkill' were incredible songs. Although the record went platinum, they had hoped it would be as big as Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' or Guns N' Roses' 'Appetite for destruction'... and it just wasn't. But the Scorpions had a historic tour for that record, playing the USSR for the first time... they were Germans, and 50 years before that, they said their grandparents' generation came w/ tanks and slaughtered millions of Russians... The Scorpions came w/ guitars and won the Russian fans over, proving the healing power of music between people.
J and Amber, I'm so grateful 🙏 that you hit this one up!! 🙌 Thank you SO much!! I've been looking forward to this reaction for quite some time!! I was at The Monsters of Rock concert in KC in 1988!! Fantastic all day show!! ❤️ the off beats on the 🥁 - killer!! And the 🎸 work - oh yeah!! These guys are a BLAST Live!! So glad you both loved it!! 😀 @RobSquadReactions
Right on! I was at Monsters of Rock with Kingdom Come, Dokken, Scorpions, Metallica and Van Halen in Dallas the same Summer! Good Times. The Scorpions are AMAZING live! So were all the other bands there that day.
@@loristone9242 It,s time for some more Dokken. It,s been too long. What about Heaven sent? Great Guitar Solo from George Lynch. Get it on by Kingdom Come is a Banger too.
The Scorpions: Klaus Meine - vocals Herman Rarebell - drums Francis Buchholz - bass Mathias Jabs - lead guitar Rudolf Schenker - guitar Rudolf Schenker is the brother of Michael Schenker whose band you should react to. I highly recommend anything from the Assault Attack album with Graham Bonnet on vocals. You already reacted to a Rainbow song with Graham singing and his own band Alcatrazz was pretty great, having had both Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai playing guitar in the band. Both of those guys are guitar legends.
You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Came across you accidentally a few weeks ago and ended up spending the next few hours revisiting the music of my life through your eyes. So fun. While I haven’t made it through all 1700 videos, I have made a significant dent. As a music lover, your excitement and openness to experiencing new artists and musical styles is so much fun to view. You’ve captured a lot of my favorites, but stay tuned for a few suggestions in the near future.
Scorpions! One of my all time favorite bands. Great live band. Check out I Can't Get Enough (live). It's a definite rocker that shows the energy that these guys brought every single night. During their prime. A little history. Scorpions are a German band. They formed in 1965 and just released their latest album this year. My personal favorite era of the band is from 1972 through 1990. Their music ranges from psychedelic to metal. With a little bules and even reggae sprinkled in. Love Scorpions! Please keep 'em coming?
THIS BAND BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!! 1988 SUMMER, THE ORANGE BOWL MIAMI FLORIDA!!! I WAS RIGHT AROUND JORDAN'S AGE!! SCORPIONS WERE A PART OF THE "MONSTERS OF ROCK" TOUR WHICH INCLUDED METALLICA, VAN HALEN, DOKKEN AND KINGDOM COME, ALONG WITH THE SCORPIONS!!! ALL EXCELLENT BANDS!! A HUGE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPED DURING THE DOKKEN SET, BUT THEY KEPT ON PLAYING!! IT WAS THE SAMMY HAGAR VERSION OF VAN HALEN BUT STILL EXCELLENT!!! SCORPIONS WERE TOP NOTCH!! THOSE WERE THE DAYS MAN!!
Singer is Klaus Meine. I believe you guys have reacted to Rock You Like a Hurricane, Still Loving You and No One Like You previously. Scorpions are a German band that date all the way back to 1965. Founded by rhythm guitarist Rudolf "Rudy" Schenker. Rudy's younger brother Michael was the lead guitarist for the band for 1972 Lonesome Crow and 1974 Fly to the Rainbow until he departed to join the band UFO. He did return to the Scorpions for 1 more album in 1979 Lovedrive. During the intermediate period, the lead guitarist was Uli Jon Roth heavily influenced by Hendrix and also classical. His playing heavily influenced the sound of the band during his tenure. After Lovedrive in 1979 Michael was again replaced with Matthias Jabs, who remains with band to date. Scorpions achieved their first taste of international success in 1980 with Animal Magnetism, but had a bigger breakthru in the US in 1982 with Blackout. Then had major success with 1984 with the acclaimed Love At First Sting followed by a live album, World Wide Live, in 1985 from that tour. This album is a good way for a new listener to experience the band. The Scorpions fan base is very devoted and the band is very devoted to them in return by constantly touring the world and putting on incredible, high energy shows. Singer Klaus Meine had a scare prior to recording the Blackout album when he had have surgery to remove nodes and scar tissue from his vocal cords. It wasn't clear how long it would take for him to recover or if his voice would ever return to its previous form or even be able to sing again at all. Klaus worked extremely hard to restore his voice and actually made it back better than ever. Don Dokken had recorded the vocals for Blackout in Klaus absence but luckily he was able to recover in time and re-record the vocals for the "Dynamite" result we all now know. Francis Bucholz was the bassist and Herman Rarebell on drums during the 70s-90s, James Kottak former White Lion replaced on drums followed later by Mikkey Dee previously with Motorhead. Bucholz was replaced on bass by Ralph Rieckermann in the 90s and then by Paweł Mąciwoda in 2004 to present. One of the Scorpions most widely known songs world over is the hit Wind of Change from 1990's Crazy World, an anthem symbolic of the political climate and changes in Eastern Europe during the late 80s/early 90s culminating in the fall of the Berlin wall. It remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Send Me an Angel was another big single as well. February 2022 saw the release of the band's 19th studio album Rock Believer. Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands ever. Great band, great reaction!
Klaus Meine vocals Francis Bucholtz bass Herman Rare bell drums Rudy Schenker rhythm guitar and Matthias Jabs lead guitar. They're from Germany and The whole Love at first sting album is great along with the song The Zoo.
Love me some Scorpions. Great song. You should check out MSG (McAuley Schenker Group) aka (Michael Schenker Group) Michael was in Scorpions with his brother Rudolf Schenker who formed the Scorpions. Rudolf is the guitarist. Anyway, Good songs from MSG are Anytime, Gimme Your Love and When I’m Gone. 🎶🎸🎶
You have listened to the Winds of Change and Still Loving You. You still have so much to hear from them! Rock you Like a Hurricane No One Like you The Zoo Big City Nights All are bangers!
Just drove to T-town and saw them at the BOK recently, Klaus at 74, still has the vocals, Rudolph and Mathias still rocking the guitars. Band was started in 1965, I first heard them in the '80's, still a favorite and still going.
Van Halen & Scorpions two greatest live metal bands back in the day ...... the difference VH was almost unreachable whereas Scorps had just enough fan base to make a great show but allowed you to get up front if you were persistent. 1982 Blackout tour show I was up front & left that thing exhausted & charged up at the same time. If you want to here some of the greatest metal & power ballads keep listening to these guys. CAN'T GET ENOUGH, DYNAMITE, FALLING IN LOVE if you want heavy; LADY STARLIGHT, STILL LOVIN' YOU, ALWAYS SOMEWHERE pretty & epic; CHINA WHITE, ANIMAL MAGNETISM, THE ZOO if you like slow & powerful. There's also a whole catalog of albums before they hit it big in the States with Uli Roth on guitar. PICTURED LIFE will give you a snapshot of that era. Enjoy!!
Hey Cuties! Scorpions is one GREAT band. You should listed more to them, they have a lot of super good songs. They have also been playing for a looooong time. Since the mid 60s up till present day. And now they even have a Swedish drummer YAY! Lead singer is Klaus Meine if I remember right. Wind of change is a classic ballad I think you have reacted to but there are soo many more. "Rock you like a Hurricane", "The Zoo", "Big City Nights", "Send me an Angel", and "Still loving you" are some but far from all of their great songs. Check them out! 😎
Great band. Probably best known for "Wind of Change", which became almost the official theme song for the fall of the Berlin Wall - the song was _inescapable_ in 1990 and the following years as the Soviet Union crumbled. Klaus Meine is an amazing singer, and Rudolph Schenker is a great but underrated lead guitar. (Many consider his younger brother Michael to be a better pure musician as a heavy metal guitarist, even though his music doesn't enjoy the same commercial success as the Scorpions. Has to be tough to be a successful rocker but still be upstaged by your little brother. Shades of Jimmy Vaughn and Stevie Ray.)
This band is one of my personal favorites and has one deep catalog if you ever truly dive into it fully. Some of the highlights for me are "Under the Same Sun", "Raised On Rock", "Send Me An Angel", "You And I" and definitely "Rock You Like A Hurricane" because it literally will rock you like a hurricane especially with the opening riff and bass together. Will become one of your new top songs J!
You need to do some of their older ones that are blisteringly awesome. Blackout, Can't Live Without You, Big City Nights. Then the most amazing acoustic ballad Lady Starlight.
In answer to the lineup of The Scorpions: Lead Vocals: Klaus Meine Lead Guitar: Matthias Jabs Rhythm Guitar: Rudolph Schenker Drums: Herman Rarebell ( I don't recall the name of the bassist) Other Scorpions songs that you should react to: Big City Nights No One Like You Hit Between The Eyes Winds Of Change Blackout Virgin Killer
You would absolutely love 'When Passion Rules The Game' and 'Big City Nights '. Rockin vibes. Ballads to check out are ' Send me an Angel', 'Believe in Love' and 'Wind of Change'. The latter being about bringing peace to the world. One of my favorites.
fantastic group so many songs which were amazing also when you dig around scorpions catalogue they did a load of covers too which were well worth a look
I'm so happy to be able to see the Scorpions and Great White at the Spectrum before it was torned down in Philly in the 90's. What a combo and concert...... Great band
I remember as a teen back in the 80s taking my girlfriend to see the Scorpions, Kings X opened for them, thats another band you need to check out. But man that was an AMAZING show.
As a lead singer, Klaus Meine of the Scorpions was not a typical frontman - he was short (5' 4") w/ an outsized voice, and I can speculate in the 70's, record companies saw the Scorpions and wondered how they were gonna sell a short guy in a rock band to audiences. In those days, lead singers were tall and charismatic, like Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones... or guitar heroes like Neil Young, Eric Clapton... But Klaus and Ronnie James Dio (Rainbow/ Black Sabbath/ Dio) proved that short singers could captivate audiences w/ their vocals and their stage presence. Klaus could truly bring in the women to the Scorpions' music w/ the ballads he sang, like "Still loving you"... 'Holiday'... 'When the smoke is going down'... 'Wind of change'... 'Send me an angel'... 'Woman'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘 In fact, he inspired another German band Accept and their original pint-sized vocalist Udo Dirkschneider to break big in the 80's... When Accept decided to replace Udo w/ a typical singer in 1989, their popularity crashed. Thankfully, Udo was able to forge a career w/ his band U.D.O. and Accept found renewed success in 2008 w/ vocalist Mark Tornillo.
You probably will remember them from one of their ballads like "Still loving you" or "Winds of change", or their cover of Queen's "Love of my life". Other nice ones: "Big city night", "Send me an angel", and "Under the same sun".
The Scorpions were originally from Hannover, West Germany... started as a 'beat rock' combo in the 60's by Rudolf Schenker (guitar) around 1965. He sang lead originally, but he became a fan of another local singer Klaus Meine... Rudolf and Klaus became very close friends in separate bands and Rudolf even hooked up Klaus' band Mushrooms w/ his 14-year old brother Michael Schenker, who was a much better lead guitarist. By 1970, music was changing... Jimi Hendrix was the big guitar hero... and after Klaus' band broke up, both Klaus Meine (vocals) and Michael Schenker (lead guitar) joined Rudolf Schenker's band Scorpions and wrote English songs in the vein of 60's "space rock". Securing a record contract from a talent show in 1972, Scorpions recorded their 1st album 'Lonesome crow', which was very different from what they are now... It got them noticed in Europe, and they opened for British rockers U.F.O. in 1973... Michael Schenker left the Scorpions and joined U.F.O. and would record some of their biggest records... songs like 'Lights out'... 'Doctor doctor'... 'Rock bottom'... 'Try me' 🔥🔥 Rather than quit, Klaus Meine (vocals) and Rudolf Schenker (guitar) decided to form a new band w/ Ulrich Roth (now Uli Jon Roth, lead guitar) and Francis Buccholz (bass) and used the Scorpions name. Despite using a few drummers, the Scorpions spent the 70's developing their sound and releasing a string of exceptional rock records - 'Fly to the rainbow' (1974)... 'In trance' (1975)... 'Virgin Killer' (1976), but were only able to tour Europe. Herman Rarebell (drums) joined in 1977 and recorded 'Taken by force', which went gold in Japan. However, just after a sold-out Japan tour and a live album 'Tokyo Tapes' in 1978, Ulrich Roth quit the Scorpions... Seeking a replacement, Michael Schenker came back to the band after falling out w/ U.F.O. and helped co-write their next album 'Lovedrive', but he left again cos he didn't enjoy playing Ulrich Roth's Scorpions songs... Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) joined in 1979 and became a permanent member til today. With a new US record contract and an American management, Scorpions released 'Lovedrive' in 1979 and toured the US for the first time... With years of touring already behind them, the Scorpions became an instant success and 'Lovedrive' became their first gold-selling record. Their next album 'Animal magnetizm' (1980) shifted their sound to more American 'arena rock' and it became their first platinum record. However, while recording the next album in 1981, Klaus Meine developed vocal issues... a doctor's visit revealed that he had polyps on his vocal chords that needed to be removed; Klaus faced the possibility that he may not be able to sing again. After the surgery, months went by w/ Klaus unable to talk, and he told the band to move on w/ a new singer... but Rudolf Schenker was firm - the band would not carry on without him. They wrote a new album and waited until Klaus finally got his voice back. Thankfully, Klaus Meine was back on the mic & sounding better than ever on their 1982 album 'Blackout' and became another platinum success. The Scorpions also played the Us Festival in 1983 and were a massive success on the bill. They scored their biggest album 'Love at first sting' (1984) w/ huge hits like 'Rock you like a hurricane' ... "Still loving you" ... 'Big city nights'... "I'm leaving you"... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 After an extensive tour, the Scorpions took a break... their next album 'Savage Amusement' took a year to complete and was a platinum hit, but did not have the multi-platinum successes as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, or Aerosmith that year... But their persistence got them touring the USSR for the first time... In 1989, they played the Moscow Peace Festival w/ the megastars of rock that year - Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Ozzy Osbourne, Cinderella, Motley Crue... In 1990, Klaus wrote the ballad 'Wind of change' about their experience playing Russia and sensing the change coming to Europe... it became a huge hit from their 1990 album 'Crazy World', just as East & West Germany were reunited as 1 country after 40+ years of separation. Unfortunately, the Scorpions next album 'Face the heat' (1993) face the changing rock scene that was catering to grunge and alternative rock of the 90's... they saw their album sales and concert attendance fall, as Ralph Rieckerman (bass) replaced Francis Buccholz, and Herman Rarebell (drums) left the band in 1995. James Kottak (drums) joined the band in 1997, but their albums 'Pure instinct' (1996) and 'Eye II Eye' (1999) failed to sell commercially... In 2000, the Scorpions re-recorded some of their classics w/ a classical orchestra and released it as the 'Moment of glory' record. Determined to return to rocking, Pawel Maciwoda (bass) joined the Scorpions in 2004 for the album 'Unbreakable'... The Scorpions' record sales and concert demand got better w/ the 'Humanity Hour 1' album in 2007 and then 'Sting of the tail' (2010) ... Scorpions wanted to end their career on a high note, but by 2014, their career seemed to be getting bigger... So they folded and recorded 'Return to forever' in 2015. Unfortunately, drummer James Kottak had developed alcohol issues and parted ways in 2016... Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee joined the band and their latest album 'Rock believer' was a success in 2022.
My first ever concert: Holiday (very soothing acoustic/electric ballad), The Zoo, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Always Somewhere (Ballad), Wind of Change (Ballad), Coast to Coast (groovy instrumental if you like guitars), Big City Nights (rockin' guitars), When the Smoke is Going Down (Ballad), Blackout!, You Give Me all I Need, Dynamite (Rockin'!) Just pick one! Start with Dynamite if your in a rockin' mood or Coast to Coast for a cool instrumental. Or, pick a ballad.
Man this was big when it came out. Takes me back to Germany and jammin to this in the barracks or at a local favorite hang out which was a small bar where a lot of locals and soldiers went. Good times
Try some of the earlier Scorpions from the 1970s, with the virtuoso guitar of Uli Jon Roth. "We'll Burn the Sky", "Hell Cat", and "Speedy's Coming" are good places to start.
Such an awesome band from Germany. My favorite from them is "Rock You like A Hurricane." Well, as Michael Damian said, "Rock On." Please do Diana Ankudinova--Wicked Game. You'll love her voice :D
I looked back to see the Scorpions songs you have reacted to and really surprised you haven't reacted to their biggest hit, "Rock You Like a Hurricane." That one has to be your next one from them.
Wind of Change by the Scorpions is a great song. It's about the Berlin Wall being torn down. It's an uplifting song and it reminds me of a time when the good guys would actually win.
Love how you have changed my life as I follow your transformation. I have tried to have the same open mind about Rap, since I know that's all you knew and how much you love this. Keep a Learnin and I'll keep a Smiling 😃

@@joelhammond4162 I'm kind of their unofficial chronicler.
I think Mr Schenker prefers Rudy. I've been crushing on him for 40 years, lol.
I don't know how anyone forgets 'Wind of Change' and the clips of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
1700th? How cow! Congrats to them!
I was a huge Scorpions fan back in the day, your next song should be "The Zoo", the bass line is the best around.
I second that motion! Great song
OMG yes! That song rocks! 🤘
Savage Amusement album is miles ahead of all other Scorpions Albums and one of best albums in music
Zoo is their most underrated song!
Yes!! "The Zoo" next please
I saw them in 1981 with Bon Jovi as the warmup band. Imagine that?! They are a German band, that originally formed in the mid 1960s. Klaus Meine is the lead singer (now 74).

You nailed it. The ballads are nice, but the Scorps can ROCK!
Bon Jovi formed in 1983.
Can't forget Loving you Sunday morning
@@jayjeffrey1724 or Always Somewhere, Holiday, Send me an angel, Coast to coast, When the smoke goes down or Bad boys running wild. I've loved them since 1979, their so Amazing live!! Seen them a few times in 80', 82' and twice in 83'. His voice is stellar live!! ❤️🎼❤️🔥
Bon Jovi wasn’t around in 1981 😳😳
🤩🤩🤩 I love their song "Send Me An Angel" and "Rock You Like A Hurricane". "Big City Nights" and "Tease Me, Please Me" are great too.
They are good, but the older the better...the Blackout album was always my all time favorite album...I love every song on that. I love the title track, Blackout a lot, u give me all I Need is another awesome one off that album...
Finally some more Scorps, my favorite of all time, timeless band, still going. So many great songs to hear. Bless you
Rock Believer from their latest album is awesome!
Still remember the first time I heard and saw Scorpions on MTV with Rock You Like a Hurricane......memories....
great song. Y'all should really check out Send Me an Angel if you haven't yet. Keep on exploring 🕊️💗
Back when MTV was good, it was music.
Always loved Klaus' amazing vocal range, even despite having surgery on his vocal cords years ago. Hard to imagine that they're still performing now.
First concert I ever went to back in 1984. They were amazing! So many great songs. Very underrated group for sure.
Me too.
For me, the Scorpions are one of the greatest bands in the history of music.
My brother lives in florida, how's just now getting this house put back together, almost done
I wish every It's wise before a hurricane especially Why is before a hurricane, especially ascending? The scorpions video for rock you rock you like a hair kind brother I say😊😊😊😅😅😅😊😊😅😅😅😅

If you know somebody in a hurricane area before the hurricane hits a base, share the circumturned on my scorpions, Rocky locker hurricane video. I'm pretty oh there's a picture of you😊😊😊😊
Scorpions are still amazing after so many years, their singer has that unique kind of voice that if you would wake me up in the middle of the night with their song, I would instantly know who it was. And Jay and Amber, I feel like you are my friends that I've known for years, love it that you liked this song that much.
"THE ZOO" by The Scorpions is a BANGER...one of my favorites. You won't forget them after hearing this song!! Also "Rock You Like A Hurricane"...seriously, Scorpions ROCK!!
Klaus Meine - lead vocals
Matthias Jabs - lead guitar, backing vocals

This is one band you can't get enough of and make u come back for more and they never disappoint in my opinion.
🤘😎🤘 Sweet Reactions. First time I seen Scorpions in concert was 1988. I was 16 and they were on The Monsters of Rock tour with Kingdom Come, Dokken, Metallica and Van Halen. They Kicked Butt! When their set was done, there was a 30 minute wait for Van Halen to set up, and a food fight broke out in Mile High Stadium. Over 57,000 people throwing foods and drinks at each other. Miss the '80s. 😁
I saw that concert at the Capitol Center in Maryland. Van Halen had to stop the show for a while because we started a big fire.
I saw this tour too, the Monsters of Rock tour was Awesome, but I got there late and missed seeing Kingdom Come, and I was very disappointed!
@@miconis123 LOL... NICE!.🤘😎
@@georgewallerlll496 They were pretty good, live. Got some great applauds.
Monsters of Rock was great. Saw that tour at Alpine Valley. Great memories.
Scorpions are amazing. Great vocal, great guitars, great songs.
The Scorpions: THE ZOO The song THE ZOO is one of the coolest riffs in rock you will hear. THE ZOO - THE ZOO - THE ZOO - Had to say it three times in a row because it is that good... :)
I love Scorpion. That's it!!💛❤💓
Legend!!🎉🎀🎶🎵
My absolute favorite band!! No one can sing like Klaus.
The Scorpions created one of the most iconic riffs in rock with the song "THE ZOO."
So many good songs from the Scorpions....hard to go wrong with them!
Klaus Meine is the singer. Rhythm guitar and founding member is Rudolph Schenker. Lead guitar is Matthias Jabs. They are so awesome. I’ve been listening to them since I was 11 years old in 1978. A friend had their live album Tokyo Tapes. Ive seen them live many times. They never fail to put on a great show. Even now in their 70’s, they rock hard. They recently finished a North American tour. You need to check out some of their older songs like The Zoo, Loving You Sunday Morning, Dynamite, Blackout, Always Somewhere, Holiday, Lovedrive, Don’t Make No promises(Your Body Can’t Keep), Make It Real, Only A Man and many others.
Another great band that you haven’t listened to yet is Y&T. I know you’ll love them as much as Scorpions.
Listened to Rock Believer when it came out. They're still amazing.
Great comment and great suggestion for Y&T. I second that one.
Seen a lot of bands in concert but the Scorpions sounded the best live! They put on a great show!
Absolutely “The Zoo” and “Rock you Like a Hurricane”!!!!
Scorpions has an extremely underrated song titled "Arizona" it's amazing.
I love this Song!🥰🎼
Yes please cover the song Arizona...great rocker.
"Don't stop at the top" - touch the sky before you drop. Great Scorpions song and very inspirational. Everything from his voice to guitars to the drumming is just incredible!!!
"Wind Of Change", "Big City Nights", "No One Like You", "I Can't Explain", "Still Loving You", "Holiday","Tease Me Please Me", and "Kicks After Six".
Check out by the Scorpions (their live performances are especially good):
"Loving You Sunday Morning"
"Holiday"
"The Zoo"
"Rock You Like a Hurricane"
"I'm Leaving You"
"Big City Nights"
"As Soon as the Good Times Roll"
"Don't Stop at the Top"
"Passion Rules the Game"
"Media Overkill"
Germany bands of the 80s had such a gift creating songs you liked instantly and could sing immediately, Scorpions, Accept, Dokken, Warlock, Helloween, Running wild
Other great Scorpions songs : Rock you like a hurricane, Coming home, Passion rules the game, Blackout, When the smoke is going down, Holiday, the Zoo, Can't live without you, Bad boys running wild, Don't stop at the top, Walking on the edge, tease me please me
We saw them with Great White as the opening band at Blossom Music Center (near Cleveland). They were by far the loudest band I've ever heard. We were 25 rows back and the sound moved your hair and clothing - it wasn't wind. It was the pressure coming off the speakers. They have dozens of hits for you guys to do.
This record 'Savage amusement' in 1988 was a truly underrated album by the Scorpions... this single, 'Passion rules the game'... 'Believe in love'... "Don't stop at the top"... 'Media overkill' were incredible songs. Although the record went platinum, they had hoped it would be as big as Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' or Guns N' Roses' 'Appetite for destruction'... and it just wasn't. But the Scorpions had a historic tour for that record, playing the USSR for the first time... they were Germans, and 50 years before that, they said their grandparents' generation came w/ tanks and slaughtered millions of Russians... The Scorpions came w/ guitars and won the Russian fans over, proving the healing power of music between people.
Now they side with Ukrainian Nazis
@@ericthomas917 p!$$ off, Russian nazi
Best album of Scorpions by far.
J and Amber, I'm so grateful 🙏 that you hit this one up!! 🙌
Thank you SO much!! I've been looking forward to this reaction for quite some time!! I was at The Monsters of Rock concert in KC in 1988!! Fantastic all day show!!
❤️ the off beats on the 🥁 - killer!! And the 🎸 work - oh yeah!! These guys are a BLAST Live!! So glad you both loved it!! 😀 @RobSquadReactions
Right on! I was at Monsters of Rock with Kingdom Come, Dokken, Scorpions, Metallica and Van Halen in Dallas the same Summer! Good Times. The Scorpions are AMAZING live! So were all the other bands there that day.
Me too! This was sooo fun 😊
@@loristone9242 It,s time for some more Dokken. It,s been too long. What about Heaven sent? Great Guitar Solo from George Lynch. Get it on by Kingdom Come is a Banger too.
More scorpions so many many great songs one of metal's legendary bands
The Scorpions are fantastic! Rock You Like A Hurricane, Blackout, The Zoo, Big City Nights, No One Like You.
The Scorpions:
Klaus Meine - vocals
Herman Rarebell - drums
Francis Buchholz - bass
Mathias Jabs - lead guitar
Rudolf Schenker - guitar
Rudolf Schenker is the brother of Michael Schenker whose band you should react to. I highly recommend anything from the Assault Attack album with Graham Bonnet on vocals. You already reacted to a Rainbow song with Graham singing and his own band Alcatrazz was pretty great, having had both Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai playing guitar in the band. Both of those guys are guitar legends.
Don't forget UFO.
@@kenqb5450 nah... they're too... too hot... too hot to handle.
You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Came across you accidentally a few weeks ago and ended up spending the next few hours revisiting the music of my life through your eyes. So fun. While I haven’t made it through all 1700 videos, I have made a significant dent. As a music lover, your excitement and openness to experiencing new artists and musical styles is so much fun to view. You’ve captured a lot of my favorites, but stay tuned for a few suggestions in the near future.
WELCOME TO THE FAM!! 👍😃👍
Scorpions! One of my all time favorite bands. Great live band. Check out I Can't Get Enough (live). It's a definite rocker that shows the energy that these guys brought every single night. During their prime.
A little history. Scorpions are a German band. They formed in 1965 and just released their latest album this year. My personal favorite era of the band is from 1972 through 1990. Their music ranges from psychedelic to metal. With a little bules and even reggae sprinkled in. Love Scorpions! Please keep 'em coming?
THIS BAND BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!! 1988 SUMMER, THE ORANGE BOWL MIAMI FLORIDA!!! I WAS RIGHT AROUND JORDAN'S AGE!! SCORPIONS WERE A PART OF THE "MONSTERS OF ROCK" TOUR WHICH INCLUDED METALLICA, VAN HALEN, DOKKEN AND KINGDOM COME, ALONG WITH THE SCORPIONS!!!
ALL EXCELLENT BANDS!!
A HUGE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPED DURING THE DOKKEN SET, BUT THEY KEPT ON PLAYING!! IT WAS THE SAMMY HAGAR VERSION OF VAN HALEN BUT STILL EXCELLENT!!! SCORPIONS WERE TOP NOTCH!!
THOSE WERE THE DAYS MAN!!
That Monsters tour had it all. Only problem was the time between acts.
Singer is Klaus Meine. I believe you guys have reacted to Rock You Like a Hurricane, Still Loving You and No One Like You previously. Scorpions are a German band that date all the way back to 1965. Founded by rhythm guitarist Rudolf "Rudy" Schenker. Rudy's younger brother Michael was the lead guitarist for the band for 1972 Lonesome Crow and 1974 Fly to the Rainbow until he departed to join the band UFO. He did return to the Scorpions for 1 more album in 1979 Lovedrive. During the intermediate period, the lead guitarist was Uli Jon Roth heavily influenced by Hendrix and also classical. His playing heavily influenced the sound of the band during his tenure. After Lovedrive in 1979 Michael was again replaced with Matthias Jabs, who remains with band to date. Scorpions achieved their first taste of international success in 1980 with Animal Magnetism, but had a bigger breakthru in the US in 1982 with Blackout. Then had major success with 1984 with the acclaimed Love At First Sting followed by a live album, World Wide Live, in 1985 from that tour. This album is a good way for a new listener to experience the band. The Scorpions fan base is very devoted and the band is very devoted to them in return by constantly touring the world and putting on incredible, high energy shows. Singer Klaus Meine had a scare prior to recording the Blackout album when he had have surgery to remove nodes and scar tissue from his vocal cords. It wasn't clear how long it would take for him to recover or if his voice would ever return to its previous form or even be able to sing again at all. Klaus worked extremely hard to restore his voice and actually made it back better than ever. Don Dokken had recorded the vocals for Blackout in Klaus absence but luckily he was able to recover in time and re-record the vocals for the "Dynamite" result we all now know. Francis Bucholz was the bassist and Herman Rarebell on drums during the 70s-90s, James Kottak former White Lion replaced on drums followed later by Mikkey Dee previously with Motorhead. Bucholz was replaced on bass by Ralph Rieckermann in the 90s and then by Paweł Mąciwoda in 2004 to present. One of the Scorpions most widely known songs world over is the hit Wind of Change from 1990's Crazy World, an anthem symbolic of the political climate and changes in Eastern Europe during the late 80s/early 90s culminating in the fall of the Berlin wall. It remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Send Me an Angel was another big single as well. February 2022 saw the release of the band's 19th studio album Rock Believer. Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands ever. Great band, great reaction!
Klaus Meine is a formidable singer. This German band is seriously good
Hi everyone!
Fantastic choice of song from Scorpions. Hard rock.
Klaus Meine vocals Francis Bucholtz bass Herman Rare bell drums Rudy Schenker rhythm guitar and Matthias Jabs lead guitar. They're from Germany and The whole Love at first sting album is great along with the song The Zoo.
I saw the Scorpions in 1988 at the Monsters of Rock tour in Three Rivers Stadium (Pittsburgh PA)
The Scorpions albums are great, but their live shows are just incredible. I've seen them several times throughout the 80's and 90's
I love the Scorpions! This is one my favorite songs from them. You got to hear their most popular song Rock You like a Hurricane.
Early Scorpions with Ulrich Roth smokes this later mainstream stuff IMO. Early scorpions is serious rock n roll
True. "Sails of Charon" is a must.
@@DM-hk4cw indeed.Speedy’s Coming, Sun in my hand, Drifting Sun, etc
Love me some Scorpions. Great song. You should check out MSG (McAuley Schenker Group) aka (Michael Schenker Group) Michael was in Scorpions with his brother Rudolf Schenker who formed the Scorpions. Rudolf is the guitarist. Anyway, Good songs from MSG are Anytime, Gimme Your Love and When I’m Gone. 🎶🎸🎶
You have listened to the Winds of Change and Still Loving You. You still have so much to hear from them!
Rock you Like a Hurricane
No One Like you
The Zoo
Big City Nights
All are bangers!
Scorpions is my favorite band from the 80s especially their concerts!
Love that amber caught that double snare hit in the chorus!!! ✊🔥🤘
Hi Fam!!!!! ❤ This is a great song!
Rock You Like a Hurricane, you might like. Scorpions, are a great live band. These guys rock so hard. Thanks again for this smile.
Rock You Like a Hurricane and The Zoo are great head bangers! Always Somewhere is a great ballad!
Just drove to T-town and saw them at the BOK recently, Klaus at 74, still has the vocals, Rudolph and Mathias still rocking the guitars. Band was started in 1965, I first heard them in the '80's, still a favorite and still going.
T town as in Toronto?
@@laurabailey1054 Tulsa from Oklahoma City.
Everybody loves the Rhythm of Love
Lookup scorpions hit between the eyes. Incredible singing and guitar
I love this fricken song AND The Scorpions!!!! So glad you chose this.
I forgot how this song rocked back in the day, car radio up full blast and the windows down.. when I didn’t have a worry in the world. I miss the 80’s
Van Halen & Scorpions two greatest live metal bands back in the day ...... the difference VH was almost unreachable whereas Scorps had just enough fan base to make a great show but allowed you to get up front if you were persistent. 1982 Blackout tour show I was up front & left that thing exhausted & charged up at the same time. If you want to here some of the greatest metal & power ballads keep listening to these guys. CAN'T GET ENOUGH, DYNAMITE, FALLING IN LOVE if you want heavy; LADY STARLIGHT, STILL LOVIN' YOU, ALWAYS SOMEWHERE pretty & epic; CHINA WHITE, ANIMAL MAGNETISM, THE ZOO if you like slow & powerful. There's also a whole catalog of albums before they hit it big in the States with Uli Roth on guitar. PICTURED LIFE will give you a snapshot of that era. Enjoy!!
Hey Cuties! Scorpions is one GREAT band. You should listed more to them, they have a lot of super good songs. They have also been playing for a looooong time. Since the mid 60s up till present day. And now they even have a Swedish drummer YAY! Lead singer is Klaus Meine if I remember right. Wind of change is a classic ballad I think you have reacted to but there are soo many more. "Rock you like a Hurricane", "The Zoo", "Big City Nights", "Send me an Angel", and "Still loving you" are some but far from all of their great songs. Check them out! 😎
Great band,great voice and killer guitar.Rock you like a hurricane, still loving you, and wind of change are just a few of their songs to check out.
Wife here..These guys are soooo Amazing!!..And OG's of Hair Metal..My Husband's Favorite Rock Band!!..That Tone is soooo Cool!!🥰
Great band. Probably best known for "Wind of Change", which became almost the official theme song for the fall of the Berlin Wall - the song was _inescapable_ in 1990 and the following years as the Soviet Union crumbled. Klaus Meine is an amazing singer, and Rudolph Schenker is a great but underrated lead guitar. (Many consider his younger brother Michael to be a better pure musician as a heavy metal guitarist, even though his music doesn't enjoy the same commercial success as the Scorpions. Has to be tough to be a successful rocker but still be upstaged by your little brother. Shades of Jimmy Vaughn and Stevie Ray.)
I think they reacted Wind of Change already. That might have been their first Scorpions song. Not sure.
Such a massive and legendary rock band. The band that converted me to metal from punk in the 80s. Try Blackout, Dynamite, Love at first sting
One of my favorite songs by them.
This band is one of my personal favorites and has one deep catalog if you ever truly dive into it fully. Some of the highlights for me are "Under the Same Sun", "Raised On Rock", "Send Me An Angel", "You And I" and definitely "Rock You Like A Hurricane" because it literally will rock you like a hurricane especially with the opening riff and bass together. Will become one of your new top songs J!
One of my favorite scorpion song... 😍😍
You need to do some of their older ones that are blisteringly awesome. Blackout, Can't Live Without You, Big City Nights. Then the most amazing acoustic ballad Lady Starlight.
In answer to the lineup of The Scorpions:
Lead Vocals: Klaus Meine
Lead Guitar: Matthias Jabs
Rhythm Guitar: Rudolph Schenker
Drums: Herman Rarebell
( I don't recall the name of the bassist)
Other Scorpions songs that you should react to:
Big City Nights
No One Like You
Hit Between The Eyes
Winds Of Change
Blackout
Virgin Killer
You would absolutely love 'When Passion Rules The Game' and 'Big City Nights '. Rockin vibes. Ballads to check out are ' Send me an Angel', 'Believe in Love' and 'Wind of Change'. The latter being about bringing peace to the world. One of my favorites.
fantastic group so many songs which were amazing also when you dig around scorpions catalogue they did a load of covers too which were well worth a look
I'm so happy to be able to see the Scorpions and Great White at the Spectrum before it was torned down in Philly in the 90's. What a combo and concert......
Great band
I remember as a teen back in the 80s taking my girlfriend to see the Scorpions, Kings X opened for them, thats another band you need to check out. But man that was an AMAZING show.
Anything from the Blackout and Love at first Sting album's would be a great reaction video, but the Scorpions have many great songs!
The best the scorpions have is not on the radio......sooooo much great stuff.......we let it rock off that record rocks pretty good as well
As a lead singer, Klaus Meine of the Scorpions was not a typical frontman - he was short (5' 4") w/ an outsized voice, and I can speculate in the 70's, record companies saw the Scorpions and wondered how they were gonna sell a short guy in a rock band to audiences. In those days, lead singers were tall and charismatic, like Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones... or guitar heroes like Neil Young, Eric Clapton... But Klaus and Ronnie James Dio (Rainbow/ Black Sabbath/ Dio) proved that short singers could captivate audiences w/ their vocals and their stage presence.
Klaus could truly bring in the women to the Scorpions' music w/ the ballads he sang, like "Still loving you"... 'Holiday'... 'When the smoke is going down'... 'Wind of change'... 'Send me an angel'... 'Woman'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
In fact, he inspired another German band Accept and their original pint-sized vocalist Udo Dirkschneider to break big in the 80's... When Accept decided to replace Udo w/ a typical singer in 1989, their popularity crashed. Thankfully, Udo was able to forge a career w/ his band U.D.O. and Accept found renewed success in 2008 w/ vocalist Mark Tornillo.
Although I love 80s Scorpions, their 2007 album Humanity Hour 1 remains one of my favorites, so many great songs. The Future Never Dies is my favorite
You probably will remember them from one of their ballads like "Still loving you" or "Winds of change", or their cover of Queen's "Love of my life". Other nice ones: "Big city night", "Send me an angel", and "Under the same sun".
This album is one of if not their greatest
Mad respect!! Grew up on 80s rock!!
The Scorpions were originally from Hannover, West Germany... started as a 'beat rock' combo in the 60's by Rudolf Schenker (guitar) around 1965. He sang lead originally, but he became a fan of another local singer Klaus Meine... Rudolf and Klaus became very close friends in separate bands and Rudolf even hooked up Klaus' band Mushrooms w/ his 14-year old brother Michael Schenker, who was a much better lead guitarist. By 1970, music was changing... Jimi Hendrix was the big guitar hero... and after Klaus' band broke up, both Klaus Meine (vocals) and Michael Schenker (lead guitar) joined Rudolf Schenker's band Scorpions and wrote English songs in the vein of 60's "space rock".
Securing a record contract from a talent show in 1972, Scorpions recorded their 1st album 'Lonesome crow', which was very different from what they are now... It got them noticed in Europe, and they opened for British rockers U.F.O. in 1973... Michael Schenker left the Scorpions and joined U.F.O. and would record some of their biggest records... songs like 'Lights out'... 'Doctor doctor'... 'Rock bottom'... 'Try me' 🔥🔥
Rather than quit, Klaus Meine (vocals) and Rudolf Schenker (guitar) decided to form a new band w/ Ulrich Roth (now Uli Jon Roth, lead guitar) and Francis Buccholz (bass) and used the Scorpions name. Despite using a few drummers, the Scorpions spent the 70's developing their sound and releasing a string of exceptional rock records - 'Fly to the rainbow' (1974)... 'In trance' (1975)... 'Virgin Killer' (1976), but were only able to tour Europe.
Herman Rarebell (drums) joined in 1977 and recorded 'Taken by force', which went gold in Japan. However, just after a sold-out Japan tour and a live album 'Tokyo Tapes' in 1978, Ulrich Roth quit the Scorpions... Seeking a replacement, Michael Schenker came back to the band after falling out w/ U.F.O. and helped co-write their next album 'Lovedrive', but he left again cos he didn't enjoy playing Ulrich Roth's Scorpions songs... Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) joined in 1979 and became a permanent member til today.
With a new US record contract and an American management, Scorpions released 'Lovedrive' in 1979 and toured the US for the first time... With years of touring already behind them, the Scorpions became an instant success and 'Lovedrive' became their first gold-selling record. Their next album 'Animal magnetizm' (1980) shifted their sound to more American 'arena rock' and it became their first platinum record.
However, while recording the next album in 1981, Klaus Meine developed vocal issues... a doctor's visit revealed that he had polyps on his vocal chords that needed to be removed; Klaus faced the possibility that he may not be able to sing again. After the surgery, months went by w/ Klaus unable to talk, and he told the band to move on w/ a new singer... but Rudolf Schenker was firm - the band would not carry on without him. They wrote a new album and waited until Klaus finally got his voice back.
Thankfully, Klaus Meine was back on the mic & sounding better than ever on their 1982 album 'Blackout' and became another platinum success. The Scorpions also played the Us Festival in 1983 and were a massive success on the bill. They scored their biggest album 'Love at first sting' (1984) w/ huge hits like 'Rock you like a hurricane' ... "Still loving you" ... 'Big city nights'... "I'm leaving you"... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
After an extensive tour, the Scorpions took a break... their next album 'Savage Amusement' took a year to complete and was a platinum hit, but did not have the multi-platinum successes as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, or Aerosmith that year... But their persistence got them touring the USSR for the first time... In 1989, they played the Moscow Peace Festival w/ the megastars of rock that year - Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Ozzy Osbourne, Cinderella, Motley Crue...
In 1990, Klaus wrote the ballad 'Wind of change' about their experience playing Russia and sensing the change coming to Europe... it became a huge hit from their 1990 album 'Crazy World', just as East & West Germany were reunited as 1 country after 40+ years of separation.
Unfortunately, the Scorpions next album 'Face the heat' (1993) face the changing rock scene that was catering to grunge and alternative rock of the 90's... they saw their album sales and concert attendance fall, as Ralph Rieckerman (bass) replaced Francis Buccholz, and Herman Rarebell (drums) left the band in 1995. James Kottak (drums) joined the band in 1997, but their albums 'Pure instinct' (1996) and 'Eye II Eye' (1999) failed to sell commercially... In 2000, the Scorpions re-recorded some of their classics w/ a classical orchestra and released it as the 'Moment of glory' record.
Determined to return to rocking, Pawel Maciwoda (bass) joined the Scorpions in 2004 for the album 'Unbreakable'... The Scorpions' record sales and concert demand got better w/ the 'Humanity Hour 1' album in 2007 and then 'Sting of the tail' (2010) ... Scorpions wanted to end their career on a high note, but by 2014, their career seemed to be getting bigger... So they folded and recorded 'Return to forever' in 2015.
Unfortunately, drummer James Kottak had developed alcohol issues and parted ways in 2016... Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee joined the band and their latest album 'Rock believer' was a success in 2022.
“Can’t Explain” is another Scorpions banger from the same era.
My first ever concert: Holiday (very soothing acoustic/electric ballad), The Zoo, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Always Somewhere (Ballad), Wind of Change (Ballad), Coast to Coast (groovy instrumental if you like guitars), Big City Nights (rockin' guitars), When the Smoke is Going Down (Ballad), Blackout!, You Give Me all I Need, Dynamite (Rockin'!)
Just pick one! Start with Dynamite if your in a rockin' mood or Coast to Coast for a cool instrumental. Or, pick a ballad.
This was a song I dedicated to someone I used to date. His song to me was Lovedrive by the Scorpions.
If you want an amazing song from Scorpions, listen to The Zoo.
Thanks for covering the Scorpions; love them and by the way, love that Hank Hill Shirt.
Man this was big when it came out. Takes me back to Germany and jammin to this in the barracks or at a local favorite hang out which was a small bar where a lot of locals and soldiers went. Good times
Rocked you like a hurricane gotta be next. Y’all will freak out. So good!
I love the Scorpions and you guys too! ✌️❤️
Those drumbeats are the heartbeat of mybsoul.
Not a huge Scorpions fan, but back in the day I bought the 45 record for this song. Still have it somewhere.
So many great songs from the scorpions!! Pick one, any song, you'll love it!!!!
True Statement
the scorps definitley rocked them ballads!
Try some of the earlier Scorpions from the 1970s, with the virtuoso guitar of Uli Jon Roth. "We'll Burn the Sky", "Hell Cat", and "Speedy's Coming" are good places to start.
100%
Agree: I also like "Sails of Charon." Roth is on a different level.
Have you heard, "SEND ME AN ANGEL?" Beautiful!!!
Such an awesome band from Germany. My favorite from them is "Rock You like A Hurricane." Well, as Michael Damian said, "Rock On." Please do Diana Ankudinova--Wicked Game. You'll love her voice :D
About time we get into some more scorpions it was the first heavy metal band I really enjoyed
I looked back to see the Scorpions songs you have reacted to and really surprised you haven't reacted to their biggest hit, "Rock You Like a Hurricane." That one has to be your next one from them.
Rock you like a Hurricane, The Zoo and Holiday are three of my favorites.
Wind of Change by the Scorpions is a great song. It's about the Berlin Wall being torn down. It's an uplifting song and it reminds me of a time when the good guys would actually win.
Love how you have changed my life as I follow your transformation. I have tried to have the same open mind about Rap, since I know that's all you knew and how much you love this. Keep a Learnin and I'll keep a Smiling 😃
