The first time I saw them back in the early 80s, they still couldn't really speak English very well, but when Klaus opened his mouth to sing, all language barriers dropped away. One of the finest voices in all of rock music!
The Scorpions are from Germany. They are a rock band. You are listening to one of their many ballads, soft rock songs but they can rock out and rock hard as well.
What a lovely blast from the past! I was listening to The Scorpions in high school & I graduated university 35 years ago. Love this song and them. Lead has an incredible voice!
You might like another Scorpions song “Winds of Change” which I understand was written after the band had been to the USSR and it was apparent that the government of the Soviet Union might fall, which it did in December. 1991.
Rudolf Schenker is one of the guitarist for the Scorpions and had been there from the beginning. His younger brother Michael Schenker was also with the band when they made their first album (he was 16yo). Then he left and joined UFO (Rock Bottom, Doctor Doctor, Lights Out in London). The brother Michael Schenker was Randy Rhoads (Ozzy’s guitarist) favorite guitar player and he was the reason Randy played the V guitar.
Love this song and this band! Such a powerful voice and such a big part of the 80's! I would love you to listen to my favorite song by them, "No one like you"--One of my all time favorite songs, you won't be disappointed!! 😊
This song is the very definetion of the power ballad. And the "hook", "I'm still loving you" does not come in until 3+ minutes, then closes out the song.Genius!
Scorpions Songs: No One Like You, Can't Live Without You, Blackout, Wind of Change, The Zoo, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Big City Nights, Rhythm of Love, Lovedrive, Lonely Nights.
is amazing this song and i love what you said if you love someone and you expect they love you back and they dont you are gona be disapponted SO TRUE i have the same revelation a few months ago
Who is he!? He's the best singer of all time they are what rock and roll is all about they should have been in the rock and roll hall of fame already a long long long time ago! SCORPIONS!!!!❤
The term Power Ballad has been around since the 80's. My generation, Generation X, came up with it. The 80's rock bands were the first to make those kinds of songs.
I went to see The Scorpions on Tour in Dortmund a few weeks ago and eventhough Klaus is 75 now I was surprised at the quality of his signing at his age. He might not hit those super high notes anymore, but man a 3 hour concert at his age was more than impressive - loved every minute of it!
@@michaelwduffy Family and I are great! I haven’t been on UG much as of late… much of the 2020 crew is still going though! They changed the app and it made it very hard to keep up with other folk’s shots, so it’s kind of ruined it for me 🙃
Glad to hear man!!! And yeah that doesn’t surprise me UG was notorious for that 🤣 ngl I miss it!! Look forward to seeing your son playing Carnegie hall one day tho!
KIngs of powerballad. The audience is so captivated they forget to move. But don't let that ballad fool you - they rock out with the best of them ("Speedy's Coming" "I'm in a rockandroll band" "going out with a bang" "catch your train" "The Zoo")
Be sure to search for Scorpions (from germany) instead off The Scorpions (from England) which is a different band (might be good too, idk). Scorpions - Wind of change is aslo very familiar song
Music like this in the day wasn’t so much the lyrics sometimes it was the sound. This was an awesome song and all about the sound. Most great Rock bands had amazing “power ballads” that left the audience memorized. I am 52, trust me 😮.
LOL! No kA-CHING FOR YOU! "Power Ballad" was coined way before you were born (back in the early to mid 70s). 😀 React to "Radar Love" by Golden Earring" (from Holland).
Klaus meine the god on earth his voice enchants you no one can match your vocal power you are Klaus no one and able to imitate you they just have to bow before you with their heads down...Klaus meine il dio sulla terra la sua voce ti incanta nessuno può eguagliare la tua potenza vocale tu sei Klaus nessuno e capace di imitarti devono solo inchinarsi davanti a te a testa bassa
Those German dudes up there with queen no doubt about that! This song actually has double meaning it’s referring to the Berlin Wall which can only get torn down with love and he also sings about his love for world even with all that messed up political shit that was and is happening. You should have checked out the 6 minute lyric version, you missed out on a 3 minute guitar solo at the end
So cute you think you coined Power Ballad. Hahaha. But to your credit, we 80s kids coined the same way. "Yeah bro that's a love ballad, but that distorted guitar makes it a Power Ballad".
Yeah it's a power ballad all right. But there are power ballads and then there are 80s power ballads (this song is from 1984). The 80s gave us some of the best music ever (unfortunately also some of the worst). But nothing beats 80s power ballads and this is among the top-2 or top-3 of them all (depending on personal preference). Unfortunately this is the truncated version, the original is almost twice as long and contains more amazing guitar solos and more singing. But it's funny to see: In literally every reaction video, people raise their eyebrows after about 10 seconds of Klaus starting to sing.

Perfect description. It is a power Ballard. Unreal voice

Will definitely check that out thanks so much!! 😃
There’s a kid that did this on The Voice Germany. He did a cover of this song, and it was the best I’ve ever heard.

Masters of the power ballad.
Klaus Meine the Singer is now 75.
Who is he!? He's the best singer of all time they are what rock and roll is all about they should have been in the rock and roll hall of fame already a long long long time ago! SCORPIONS!!!!❤
a wonderful german band named Scorpions
I saw them live in concert in Hannover, Germany yesterday :)
The term Power Ballad has been around since the 80's. My generation, Generation X, came up with it. The 80's rock bands were the first to make those kinds of songs.
Pretty much started with this song

Shenker is awesome guitarist
Oh yea, Scorpions were haunting! Love your reactions!
This song is hypnotizing
Duffy - Holy crap, man! 55k subs!!?? You’re famous man!
So glad this song is getting this air time!!!! 🔥🦂
Ayy great to see ya my man!!! How ya been!? Is all the old gang still posting on UG? Hope all the fams well dude!!!
@@michaelwduffy Family and I are great! I haven’t been on UG much as of late… much of the 2020 crew is still going though! They changed the app and it made it very hard to keep up with other folk’s shots, so it’s kind of ruined it for me 🙃

@@michaelwduffy Man, I appreciate that!! We’re considering getting him on TH-cam
Definitely recommend that way you can track the progress and it will motivate him even more! It’s like a time capsule!
Just discovered the masters of power ballads. Congratulations! Try "Holiday", it´s the best one.

You listened to the short version. Theres a much longer live version that's even better.
Klaus is a distinct powerhouse man, one of the best, most distinct voices in rock
Music like this in the day wasn’t so much the lyrics sometimes it was the sound. This was an awesome song and all about the sound. Most great Rock bands had amazing “power ballads” that left the audience memorized. I am 52, trust me 😮.
The guitarist is Rudolf Schenker. This song, unfortunately, was overshadowed by their two monsters - No One Like You and Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Klause was a guy with a very big beautiful voice. I saw them live several times and there was never any disappointment.
LOL! No kA-CHING FOR YOU! "Power Ballad" was coined way before you were born (back in the early to mid 70s). 😀
React to "Radar Love" by Golden Earring" (from Holland).
Bro, quick question.
Ummmm... kinda new here, but what is up with the bottle of mayo on the couch?
Sorry, been wondering 😂
Klaus meine the god on earth his voice enchants you no one can match your vocal power you are Klaus no one and able to imitate you they just have to bow before you with their heads down...Klaus meine il dio sulla terra la sua voce ti incanta nessuno può eguagliare la tua potenza vocale tu sei Klaus nessuno e capace di imitarti devono solo inchinarsi davanti a te a testa bassa
The singer is Klaus Meine. The guitarist is Matthias Jabs.
His name is Klaus Mine ...German Band
Need to hear winds of change
It's a german audience (The Scorpions are a german band), we don't go crazy at concerts 😉
Guys?! Can't forget Holiday😅.
There are many Rock Ballad or Hair Bands out there you would truly enjoy.
I'm glad to grow_up as a Gen X'r.
You should listen to the symphonic and acoustic versions!!!
klaus at that time definetly went hard for the DIO look, and yes, i'd say he's the german DIO.
Power ballads = Skorpions
Do you live a rock? Holy 💩. Scorpions is just Legendary band, foy ded 1965. I can't believe you havent heard them...
try hollyday from Scorpions
👍🔥🔥

Also, gateway stuff here on your channel in general and congratulations for shrugging off the hate from a recent post and staying the course.
Mayo is to be refrigerated after opening
