Adversities and struggle. Scorpions blow away most acts they perform with. I saw this for myself when I attended “The Summer Strut” at Anaheim stadium. They made all others look like garage bands. Long live Rudolph!!
When Scorpions came to Red Rocks in 2012, and before they sang "Wind of Change", Klaus repeated a Rudolf Schenker quote, "We wanted to show the people in Russia that here is a new generation of Germans growing up, and they're not coming with tanks and guns and making war - they're coming with guitars and rock 'n' roll and bringing love!" and then he broke out in his perfect whistle. I was privileged to get to know them in 2007 and I kept in touch with the guitar player, Matthias, who sent all sorts of swag for contests I would hold online. I got to see them several times and in my old/er age, it's memories I will carry me to my death. The sweetest bunch of rockstars you will meet. NOTE: Klaus wrote this song in 1989 before the fall of the Berlin Wall, when the mega rock concert in Russia was held, called "Moscow Music Peace Festival". He was walking down the street and got the lyrics running through his head and the rest is history. BTW you have got to view some of that TH-cam footage, it's amazing. Several bands played, but Scorpions put most of them to shame. There were around 100,000 in attendance. Footage of some of that is in this video.
Scorpions have been around since the 70's. This song was on an album that came out right when the Berlin Wall came down in Germany. This band is from Germany. Check out Rock You Like A Hurricane, No One Like You, or The Zoo
At a time when this song was much needed in the world. The song is just as relevant today as it was back then. Another song that is raining true today but written in the 90’s. Megadeath Holy Wars about the Middle East and Israel.
I saw them live in the early 90s...for this tour. They were incredible live. This song always gets to me..I remember watching on TV this reuniting of the German people ❤Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
AB sir, You’re the BEST IN THE BIZ AT THIS! It’s my mission to make sure your CVS list never ends! Every genre, every generation, every culture is up on your channel. I will keep pulling classic R&R tracks like this one bc songs like this are important. Then and now. I learn something from every track you react to. Even the ones I throw at you. Haha. Your AB fam has always got your back with love and respect. 🧡🧡🧡 Tara an AB OG
Oh there will be a time for that. There will be a man, the bible calls him the man of sin. One that will unite the world by peace. Many will worship him and take his mark and be damned and burn in the lake of fire for eternity. But that doesn't have to be you. Trust in Jesus Christ that he died for your sins, was buried and rose again. Its the blood of Jesus Christ that justifies. By faith and grace not by any works.

Scorpions performance in Moscow (Stadion with the Red banners). Please hear more Songs from the Scorpions. Still loving you, send me an angel, Zoo, rock you like a Hurricane.....
This song and video are so nostalgic for me and most likely others who grew up in the 80’s. I remember the Berlin Wall coming down in 89 like it was yesterday. I was 10. Thanks for the reaction. What a voice!! Seriously though, still brings a tear to my eye. I am 45 and we had a few years of no war or chaos. I just want to go back in time especially prior to 2020. I’m actually pretty worried for the future. 😢
The very first time I heard this was while watching a Filipino cover band in Singapore. They nailed it, (including the whistle) I had been at sea so didn't get to hear it before that. I LOVE the Scorpions. I rock with them, but this my favorite song. 10/03/2017 Grand Sierra Resort Reno🤩
Such hope for world peace in 1992. When East and West Germany were finally reuinted. The fall of communism in Europe. Figured we could FINALLY all be one people. Seems we have fallen right back into the old world of thinking again. Hating others because they are different. I want this feeling from 1992 back again!
I'm watching this on the eve of Halloween 2024 and there are 666 likes for this video and 66 comments (until I came along of course)... oooooh spooky huih? 👻🎃
The perfect song for the right time. It was the fall of communism & socialism in Europe , The song became an anthem for people around the world, who wanted freedom in the society that followed human rights and civil laws - unfortunately, for some unknown reason, some of the younger generation are starting to think the antisemitism and socialism is a cool thing. You don’t know what you got until it’s gone
Well when you have stupid people making dumb decisions you get bad results. And there’s a boat load of stupid people in positions of economic and social power, and some of them are teachers too. I live in the US and I’m from the San Francisco Bay area and Kamala Harris is running for president. She has been a disaster since she was a DA of San Francisco. Those are the type of people that are causing the issues and they’re too stupid to even know it Not book stupid just decision-making stupid .
kinda makes you wonder why america is always try to put up walls when they been tore down in our recent past never will understand such things tfs god bless
Well it’s quite simple, First of all it was erected by the communist party, to keep their people prisoner in their country and not let them escape We did the opposite if our leaders in charge of our government would follow our laws and not allow millions of undocumented people from flooding into our country we wouldn’t need fences - simple Sorry if the truth bothers you
I got to see the Scorps and Mötley Crüe ant the second Best venue besides red rocks was the gorge in George Washington state. We camped we partied we rocked that weekend. TH-cam the venue and you’ll see what I’m saying about the second best outside of red rocks.
For a short, glittering moment it really did seem like the world could change and for the better. We blew it. But I was there and saw it.
This song was amazing, imagine you lived in East Berlin when the wall came down and you heard this anthem being played as you walked into freedom ♥
A song that gave us all hope that the world was going to be a better place.
This is one of the most wonderful songs ever performed. Germany was finally reunited❤
they re-wrote song for ukrrine and a new video...

I love that you were totally in the zone. Such a powerful song. Hope you do more from them. ❤
This was after the Berlin wall came down
OMG, it makes me cry every time I hear it. Things really seemed to be turning around for a while there.
Actually slightly before, but Reagan had written on the wall...
This song still makes me cry😢
The Scorpions formed in 1965 from Hanover Germany ❤️ I’ve had the privilege to see them live 11 times over time. They are amazing live in concert ❤️
they are right now touring in europe last night in france...

As a teenager in the 80s this was such a powerful and much needed song. This signled the end of the cold war.
Amen. We are all one.
"Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!" Something I'll never forget hearing our President say.
I saw them live in the early 90s...for this tour. They were incredible live. This song always gets to me..I remember watching on TV this reuniting of the German people ❤Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Beautiful, heartwarming, hopeful....☮️to all.

That's right, we need to come together. Thanks for the video, and your words.

I was born in West Germany. This song is a masterpiece.

I always think of my uncle when I hear this. He does the whistle perfectly. He has been the best person in my life growing up. Great song ❤

Warm Regards. 🧡 Tara da OG

You should check out Still Loving You next, it's my favorite Scorpions song.
Just beautiful
They are around from 1965 and still active!...

I LOVE the Scorpions.
I rock with them, but this my favorite song.

To keep people out. Same reason as the White House's fence.
Build the wall
Well it’s quite simple, First of all it was erected by the communist party, to keep their people prisoner in their country and not let them escape
We did the opposite
if our leaders in charge of our government would follow our laws and not allow millions of undocumented people from flooding into our country we wouldn’t need fences - simple
Sorry if the truth bothers you
Could you react to us and pigs by Sofia isella
Great song for the U.S. now with new 2024 election.Good vs. EVIL.
Mr Trump, tear down that wall!
