Make sure to do the version of "Wind of Change that has the guitar solo, there is concert version where they skip the sole towards the end, no clue why, it is the best part of the song, it is in the music video!
I was just 16 years old when I first heard this song. I always considered it the most beautiful ballad in the history of music. She accompanied me in my teenage sorrows and I still listen to her at 56 years old🎵🎼
Holiday, Winds of Change, The Zoo, Rock You Like a Hurricane, No One Like You - all great songs. Many others, their rabbit hole is deep. Also, the lead guitarist for them was Rudolf Schenker. His brother Michael was in a band called MSG. They have several amazing songs as well. Most notably When I'm Gone, What Happens To Me, Never Ending Nightmare and Anytime.
I saw them live back in 2003, and they were incredible! "Still Loving You" and "Wind of Change" are, in my opinion, their greatest songs ever. But they really never put out a bad one, either.
Awesome reaction!!! This song took 6 years to get on an album because the producers didn't think it would sell!! Fools!!!! It's one of their best songs!!!🎶🎼🎵🥁🎹🎤🎸🔥🥁 It was a live performance!
This ballad is off of their 1984 album titled, "Love At First Sting". They've been around since the 1960s and had several lead guitarists, Uli John Roth, Michael Schenker, and here in this single, Rudolph Schenker, with Mattias Jabs on rythmn guitar, Francis Bukholtz on bass, and finally Herman Rarebell on Drums. "Another Piece of Meat", "Blackout", "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the Iconic end of the Cold War anthem, "Winds of Change" are all worth a listen along with many others. They ruled in the 80s in the U.S.
God Gotta brother and float. And Florida Florida I got hurricanes all the time I just now getting this house back to From a hurricane and when I got a hair bored. I always send him Rocky like a hurricane by the scorpions. As I hear, brother, let's rock and roll. It's rock 'n' roll together like a rocket roll rock. A hurricane around the but don't think they're
After how after I got in my workout. Was my hurricane video, Rocky locker hurricane? And I'm sending my rhythm. I'm telling my names to get plugged in to the real love rhythm of love as a scorpion's
Are you done rock like a hurricane? Now? Plug in, go ahead, plug in to the aremember, a rhythm in a scorpion's a happy. Your hair piano he's got a pretty good luck and wow hey scorpions
Klaus Mein is just brilliant. For me, he's the German Freddie Mercury. His tone is superb. His pitch is great. His voice doesn't thin out when he goes high. He sounds just as good live as he does in the studio recordings. Very few singers can pull that off. He's one of them.
Absolutely agree. Klaus Meine can hold his own against a Mercury or Dio. Incredible voice. One of the best rock vocalists ever. They've just put up a 1978 live recording of In Trance yesterday on their channel. Dammit, that voice. That song is my top favourite from them, together with We'll burn the Sky. I mean, yeah, Still Loving You and Wind of Change - fantastic songs. But not their best by far. Check it out if you like: th-cam.com/video/JsLq8HDkqNU/w-d-xo.html
Scorpions are Germany's longest-running rock band ever... Originally formed in 1965 by Rudolf Schenker (guitar) as a Sixties 'beat rock' combo that was heavily influenced by The Beatles... before getting into other 60's acts like Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Who. Rudolf did vocals originally, and he became friends w/ Klaus Meine (vocals) who sang in another band and even recommended his teen brother Michael Schenker (lead guitar) for Klaus' band... But after the band broke up, both Klaus and Michael Schenker joined the Scorpions around 1970 and wrote English songs in the style of early 70's psychedelic rock... That became their 1972 debut album 'Lonesome crow'. Michael Schenker left the Scorpions in 1973 to join UK rockers U.F.O. and became an iconic guitarist... Klaus and Rudolf reformed Scorpions in 1974 w/ Ulrich Roth (later Uli Jon Roth on lead guitar) and Francis Buccholz (bass) and the band recorded a string of albums in the 70's as they developed a hard rock sound, but could not tour outside Europe. After Herman Rarebell (drums) joined in 1977, Scorpions toured Japan for the first time in 1978 and were ready to conquer the world. However, Ulrich Roth left in 1978... Michael Schenker returned briefly, but quit again... Finally, Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) joined and became a permanent member. Michael Schenker formed his own band M.S.G. (Michael Schenker Group) in the 80's and had some success... He tours consistently nowadays. In 1979, Scorpions released the album 'Lovedrive' and toured N. America for the first time and scored a gold selling record... Scorpions took advantage of MTV in 1982 and had a multi-platinum record in 1984 - 'Love at first sting' and were an international sensation by 1985. They actually played the USSR in 1988 and returned to play Moscow in 1989... Their 1990 album 'Crazy world' was another hit w/ the ballad 'Wind of change' becoming a worldwide hit single capturing the changes coming to Europe w/ the fall of Communism. The Nineties decade saw Scorpions decline in popularity as their brand of hard rock was no longer 'hip' in the grunge rock era... Francis Buccholz (bass) left in 1992... Herman Rarebell (drums) left in 1995.... By 1996, Scorpions persisted in touring w/ James Kottak (drums) and Ralph Rieckermann (bass) ... In 2004, Pawel Maciwoda (bass) joined and Scorpions slowly built up their popularity by 2010. They hoped to end their career by 2014 after a 'farewell tour'... but the fans kept demanding they stay. So, Scorpions released more new music and announced more tours. In 2016, Mikkey Dee (drums) From Motorhead replaced Kottak and Scorpions were back touring arenas... their latest album was 'Rock believer' in 2022.
Seen them on this tour Love At First Sting in the summer of 1984 in Toronto, Canada at the CNE Grandstand one the best shows I ever been to. I was 17 at the time. Four bands on the ticket that night it was Canadian rockers Helix, Kick Axe, Quiet Riot and the headliners Scorpions a ticket was under 30 bucks then. We as teenage kids with part time jobs could afford to go to a lot concerts back then.
A great Scorpions ballad. Unfortunately, like most reactors I've seen do this song, you played a truncated version of this song. The full song is almost 6 and a half minutes long.
So demoralizing. I looked at the song length and almost didn't even watch. Same thing happens with other reactors a lot with Sultans of Swing and Comfortably Numb. Not their fault though, even the Scorpions own channel has mostly only truncated versions that I've found. The only untruncated official version of SLY I've found is th-cam.com/video/O5Kw41JAfG4/w-d-xo.html but it's much more recent and simply not as well produced or as well performed as the original album release.
Yeah, many times they check what version is the best to play but I guess not this time since they picked the one that was minutes shorter than the original album version, reactors always mess up on foghat- slow ride, manfred manns blinded by the light or Styx- come sail away just to name a few
Exactly thank you!!! The full version is so much better you really get to feel the song in the outro with the guitars it’s Miles better than this version. This feels like a sneak peek of the full song😂
80's German hard rock / metal band "Rhythm of Love" is a great song I hope ya'll check out eventually.Ya'll may have heard pieces of "Rock You Like A Hurricane" commercial.That song is one of theirs
Another great band from the golden age of rock. Scorpions, Def Leopard, Guns and Roses and so many other great bands all grew out of the high bar set by Zeppelin.
О Скорпы ! круто ! . самая охрененная песня . в России была супер культовой ... да , и проверьте полную версию со студийного альбома , так как эта версия не полная , без соло гитары , и не передает полного погружения в эту супер балладу ...то что вы посмотрели - это студийное качество как на альбоме 1984 года , только очень сокращенная . это не концертная запись
The 90s, an extraordinary time and great happiness. I through it, between the ages of 16 and 26...The best vacation of my life... accompanied by excellent music. Ilha Do Sal, Cabo Verde
This is the "video edit" of the studio recording (full version is about 6½ mins). Check out the 2011 re-recording, which comes in two versions ; a regular remake and a duet version with Amandine Bourgeois and sung with "Frenglish" lyrics. The best though is the song's "sequel" called SLY (acronym for Still Loving You) from 2010. Where the original was about the falling out and reconciliation between lovers, the sequel is about a similar conflict between parent and child (the offspring of the aforementioned lovers) - both songs proving that love is complicated and takes work.
What’s amazing is that Brian Johnson from AC/DC and Klaus Mein from the scorpions are still putting out albums. These two guys are going to die on stage with microphones in their hands. They love rock music, and they’re in it till the end.
one of the top 10 baby-making songs of the 90's. along with Hotel California, In The Air Tonight, Everything I Do, and Nothing Else Matters. those of you 90's kids who like metal... you probably were conceived to these tunes.
Yes, bringing some Scorpions!! You mentioned where are all the vocalists...yeah, there is nothing out there today that compares with the 70s-80s. Some of the greatest classic rock, metal & big hair bands!! 🤟😎
Scorpions were big time in their day. Great musicians with many hits. "No One Like You" was always my favorite and was my husband's song to me. He died suddenly years ago and out of all of the 80's songs we enjoyed together, that one song is the only song that I still can't listen to. You should give it a listen though as it's a great song. 😊
Great reaction as always guys. My first concert was in Rochester, NY. 1984 when I was stationed at the Seneca Army Depot. Bon Jovi opened for the Scorpions. It was a great first concert. If you want to hear something harder from them try Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Couple first Scorps Albums, Lonesome Crow and Fly to the Rainbow....Both Shenkar Brothers .Michael Shenkar is UFO guitarist, Rudolf stayed Scorps/ different vibe, those 2 albums😏🤟
Scorps were legendary, in the 80s we had so much great stuff to listen to. For more rock sound from them try "Arizona" or "Blackout." So many awrsome songs from this band.
I seen scorpions live they are one of a few bands that sound just like there album live scorpions just put out a new album in 2021 huge huge catalog scorpions is in the top 20 rock bands in history the zoo is a must no one like u big city nights so many more another 40 hits
Just as a history lesson for you, this was a mega-hit in the 80's. All bands of this era made videos to be played on MTV. TH-cam did not exist until 2005. And in the early days of TH-cam music videos were banned on the platform until they could figure out how to pay royalties to the artists.
Greetings. One thing I've learned growing up in the 80s is that you don't have to hit an A6 or a G5 to create emotion in a song. As long as the words make sense and make the bulb bloom into that flower of emotion, you will feel every word that is being sung. And to boot, 70s, 80s, and early 90s music were so expressive lyrically. It's like.... There was no simpler way of telling people how you felt. 80s ballads were the go to material for expressing your feelings to someone. As cheesy as that sounds today, only the "poets" of the 80s came up with the best words, and there were words for every emotion. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘
Thank you for getting to this reaction. I just got home from an extended weekend trip to Vancouver and Victoria, BC so it was nice to come home and watch the reaction. Keep up the great selection of music, comedy and other reactions.
Awesome band. Awesome track. Anything from them is gold. Check them out with the berliner philarmoniker, is practically them with a live orchestra...insane, they do their hits such as this song. A change of music and track with style. "Wind of change" for sure is awesome, and their biggest hit "rock you like a hurricane" and "no one like you"....have fun
Before MTV, the only band that made videos for their songs that I remember is ABBA, so official videos of songs from pre-MTV would be from concert performances or TV appearances.
I grew up with all this music. There was no such thing as a teacher to sing metal or rock. Most of these guys that were schooled for it were all classically trained. The reasons there voices were all so amazing is that they were trained in so many other genre's then found a way to transfer that into thier own style.
Yeah, you nailed it. Many were classically trained, and many also sang other genres. But the best were amazingly creative and found their own unique voice.
Saw them live once (2002) and the way his vocals carried over in the arena was absolutely incredible. I've been a fan since first seeing them on mtv with the song Rock you like a hurricane.
Great song and band, this was a huge hit for them and part of the era that made them superstars. I have been a fan from the beginning, with their debut album Lonesome Crow way back in 1970. Klause Meine singer and the Schenker Brothers, Rudolf and Michael, guitar phenoms, started the band, the former 2 are still in the band. Michael left to join another awesome band you need to hear, UFO and helped make them stars. The Scorpions then got Uli Jon Roth for lead guitar and produced a few hard rocking albums in the 70s until he left and their current lead guitar #1 is Mattias Jabs, who integrated quickly in the band and the produced a series of kill albums, starting with Lovedrive and through the 80s. Phenomenal band, one of the best hard rock/metal hybrids you will ever hear try The Zoo for some more evidence of their musical prowess. That song kicks butt, but is catchy as hell with one of the best hooks ever. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
They were really good live! Klauss Miner and the whole band were on point. What a fun concert. Back then everybody was cool and cared about each other. The music brought us together. I think it was 1982:)
No exaggeration, there was a point, while going to every concert possible, these guys were at almost every concert it seemed. I've seen them 5 times if not 50. Lol! Every concert they were freaking amazing! If you want an amazing guitar hook/riff, listen in on "The Zoo" Live is even better. Oakland, Ca 1985. I was really there. Yes Indeed! Peace On Ya
I watched your scorpions reaction today very cool I seen the scorpions in the 80s his voice is beautiful live that was live there was no auto-tune back then it was just pure music no fancy electronics no computers just pure music 🎶😮 don't know if you'll see this or not list all the rock you guys react to I've seen in concert Geoff Tate from queensryche is another one that sounded beautiful in concert Bruce Dickinson iron maiden perfect Ronnie James Dio excellent 👍 Steve Perry journey very good those guys all sounded just like their albums
Your channel has been a joy, partly because you have that uniquely Canadian eclectic taste in music. You've also been willing to feature young artists by including some talent programme musicians. In this context, I recommend BGT's young rock band Chapter 13, and the Filipino band TNT Boys.
Klaus's vocals are always on point. Wind of Change is a banger with a great message
Make sure to do the version of "Wind of Change that has the guitar solo, there is concert version where they skip the sole towards the end, no clue why, it is the best part of the song, it is in the music video!
I was just 16 years old when I first heard this song. I always considered it the most beautiful ballad in the history of music. She accompanied me in my teenage sorrows and I still listen to her at 56 years old🎵🎼
Klaus Meine at 75 still has his vocals. Guitarist, Rudy Schenker at 75 still rocks. Scorpions started out in 1965 and still rocking today.
Klaus’ voice is incredible 👏🏻🎼🎸🎤 More Scorpions 👍🏻
My favorite Scorpions song has always been "The Zoo", so that is my suggestion for a future reaction.
He'll yeah!!!
Holiday, Winds of Change, The Zoo, Rock You Like a Hurricane, No One Like You - all great songs. Many others, their rabbit hole is deep. Also, the lead guitarist for them was Rudolf Schenker. His brother Michael was in a band called MSG. They have several amazing songs as well. Most notably When I'm Gone, What Happens To Me, Never Ending Nightmare and Anytime.
THE Song for all broken Hearts❤
I saw them live back in 2003, and they were incredible! "Still Loving You" and "Wind of Change" are, in my opinion, their greatest songs ever. But they really never put out a bad one, either.
ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST!!
They are one of the best sounding live bands.
A tune so good you're at a loss for words!!!!!!!!! SCORPIONS.
Awesome reaction!!! This song took 6 years to get on an album because the producers didn't think it would sell!! Fools!!!! It's one of their best songs!!!🎶🎼🎵🥁🎹🎤🎸🔥🥁 It was a live performance!
A fabulous band. They do get heavier but some amazing ballads too. Send Me An Angel is a great ballad
This ballad is off of their 1984 album titled, "Love At First Sting".

Wow! Great history!
great post , Brother...you taught me a few things
Perfect example of a song that builds. Youth nowadays don't have the attention span.
Definitely an 80s staple in the rock scene...love them! Check out "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Winds Of Change".....continue down the rabbit hole.
I saw them in 83 live and his voice sounds almost exactly the same as on the recordings and you cannot say that about a lot of singers
That’s about when I saw them. Probably the same tour. I caught them in Anchorage, Alaska.
🎵 Greatest rock ballad of all time!
"Winds of change!" Definitely a must do!
Seen them on this tour Love At First Sting in the summer of 1984 in Toronto, Canada at the CNE Grandstand one the best shows I ever been to. I was 17 at the time. Four bands on the ticket that night it was Canadian rockers Helix, Kick Axe, Quiet Riot and the headliners Scorpions a ticket was under 30 bucks then.

Yeah, many times they check what version is the best to play but I guess not this time since they picked the one that was minutes shorter than the original album version, reactors always mess up on foghat- slow ride, manfred manns blinded by the light or Styx- come sail away just to name a few
I learned a new word today...... Thanks !
Agreed, full version is needed
Exactly thank you!!! The full version is so much better you really get to feel the song in the outro with the guitars it’s Miles better than this version. This feels like a sneak peek of the full song😂
Lovedrive, Bad Boys Running Wild, Blackout, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Noone Like You.🎉❤🎉❤🎉
80's German hard rock / metal band "Rhythm of Love" is a great song I hope ya'll check out eventually.Ya'll may have heard pieces of "Rock You Like A Hurricane" commercial.That song is one of theirs
Another great band from the golden age of rock. Scorpions, Def Leopard, Guns and Roses and so many other great bands all grew out of the high bar set by Zeppelin.
One of the best Scorpions songs is "Send Me An Angel."

‘Wind of Change’ is probably their most famous song.
1:52 his face is like "I heard that song in a table dance......" 😁
Although the Scorpions are a German band, they found a lot more success in America. One of the best concerts I’ve been to.
You two have a fantastic weekend stay safe
IT was a shortened video. Album version solo goes on a little more at end to coda
This is the "video edit" of the studio recording (full version is about 6½ mins).
Check out the 2011 re-recording, which comes in two versions ; a regular remake and a duet version with Amandine Bourgeois and sung with "Frenglish" lyrics.

What’s amazing is that Brian Johnson from AC/DC and Klaus Mein from the scorpions are still putting out albums. These two guys are going to die on stage with microphones in their hands. They love rock music, and they’re in it till the end.
one of the top 10 baby-making songs of the 90's.
along with Hotel California, In The Air Tonight, Everything I Do, and Nothing Else Matters.
those of you 90's kids who like metal... you probably were conceived to these tunes.
Of of the best ballads, ever written... And a perfect perforfmance.
You gotta check out Gorbachevs' 80th birthday celebration. The Scorpions perform 'Wind of Change'. Absolutely incredible performance. 🙏🇺🇲✌️😎
It’s criminal and really sad they’re not in the hall of fame. One day… 🖤🦂
The masters of the power ballad
One of my favorite bands in highschool 👍
Yes, bringing some Scorpions!! You mentioned where are all the vocalists...yeah, there is nothing out there today that compares with the 70s-80s. Some of the greatest classic rock, metal & big hair bands!! 🤟😎
That's what I'm talking about! We do need the young talent to get out there and rock our faces off!!
Scorpions were big time in their day. Great musicians with many hits. "No One Like You" was always my favorite and was my husband's song to me. He died suddenly years ago and out of all of the 80's songs we enjoyed together, that one song is the only song that I still can't listen to. You should give it a listen though as it's a great song. 😊
The 80s Hair Band Power Ballad was a genre onto itself… and this is one of the huge ones
Great reaction as always guys. My first concert was in Rochester, NY. 1984 when I was stationed at the Seneca Army Depot. Bon Jovi opened for the Scorpions. It was a great first concert. If you want to hear something harder from them try Rock You Like a Hurricane.
I set that concert up
You did a great job.@@DavidTrippi-fp9yg
The greatest band to come out of Germany singing the greatest ballad ever written. I have been addicted to this song since it first came out.
I love this song.glad you liked it too
You can't mistake the Scorpions sound for anyone else.
Couple first Scorps Albums, Lonesome Crow and Fly to the Rainbow....Both Shenkar Brothers .Michael Shenkar is UFO guitarist, Rudolf stayed Scorps/ different vibe, those 2 albums😏🤟
Love the Scorpions, LOVE this song. Try Wind Of Change. It 's great.
The guitar in this is amazing. Rudy is right on! Please check out the longer version. ✌❤
...and Matthias is great too.
Reminds me of high school thats when you would hear this song daily huge hit
Scorps were legendary, in the 80s we had so much great stuff to listen to. For more rock sound from them try "Arizona" or "Blackout." So many awrsome songs from this band.
React to "Wind Of Change " the Scorpions released this in 1991 when the Berlin wall came down 🥰
I seen scorpions live they are one of a few bands that sound just like there album live scorpions just put out a new album in 2021 huge huge catalog scorpions is in the top 20 rock bands in history the zoo is a must no one like u big city nights so many more another 40 hits
Just as a history lesson for you, this was a mega-hit in the 80's. All bands of this era made videos to be played on MTV. TH-cam did not exist until 2005. And in the early days of TH-cam music videos were banned on the platform until they could figure out how to pay royalties to the artists.
Praying for you two and your little one, wishing you All the best in your delivery and we'll be patiently waiting your return.
Great song. As you suspected, this is the studio recording.
"Get your ass on the microphone" I love it. I've been saying that for years.
Greetings.
One thing I've learned growing up in the 80s is that you don't have to hit an A6 or a G5 to create emotion in a song. As long as the words make sense and make the bulb bloom into that flower of emotion, you will feel every word that is being sung.
And to boot, 70s, 80s, and early 90s music were so expressive lyrically. It's like....
There was no simpler way of telling people how you felt. 80s ballads were the go to material for expressing your feelings to someone. As cheesy as that sounds today, only the "poets" of the 80s came up with the best words, and there were words for every emotion.
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤️🤘🤘
Thank you for getting to this reaction. I just got home from an extended weekend trip to Vancouver and Victoria, BC so it was nice to come home and watch the reaction. Keep up the great selection of music, comedy and other reactions.
Hey Bobby! Hope you had a great trip in BC! Some beautiful scenery out there! Thanks so much for the recommendation & your continued support!
I seen them in the 90's with Trixter and Great White. Great concert, they sounded just like the album.
Klaus's voice is 🤌 Check out:
"Rock You Like A Hurricane"
"Winds of Change"
scorpions domain since 60s , goahead the name this is BAND
Awesome band. Awesome track. Anything from them is gold. Check them out with the berliner philarmoniker, is practically them with a live orchestra...insane, they do their hits such as this song. A change of music and track with style.
"Wind of change" for sure is awesome, and their biggest hit "rock you like a hurricane" and "no one like you"....have fun
One of the greatest live bands sounds just like the album
Before MTV, the only band that made videos for their songs that I remember is ABBA, so official videos of songs from pre-MTV would be from concert performances or TV appearances.
Saw these guys in concert in 84. First time I've ever seen someone who actually fell up the stairs...lol😅...it was a great concert.
WInd of change is a really good song also with a powerful message :)
You should do WINDS OF CHANGE a great song with a fantastic message, enjoy.
Love at First Sting and the subsequent live album World Wide Live are incredible. I wore out those cassettes. 🤘
THIS is live. Klause isn't wearing shoes
You guys should check out Wind of change, Send me an angel, Rock you like a hurricane and more!
I grew up with all this music. There was no such thing as a teacher to sing metal or rock. Most of these guys that were schooled for it were all classically trained. The reasons there voices were all so amazing is that they were trained in so many other genre's then found a way to transfer that into thier own style.
Yeah, you nailed it. Many were classically trained, and many also sang other genres. But the best were amazingly creative and found their own unique voice.
Saw them live in Mannheim Germnany in ca. 1991, great Memory 👍🏻
Saw them live once (2002) and the way his vocals carried over in the arena was absolutely incredible. I've been a fan since first seeing them on mtv with the song Rock you like a hurricane.
Great song and band, this was a huge hit for them and part of the era that made them superstars. I have been a fan from the beginning, with their debut album Lonesome Crow way back in 1970. Klause Meine singer and the Schenker Brothers, Rudolf and Michael, guitar phenoms, started the band, the former 2 are still in the band. Michael left to join another awesome band you need to hear, UFO and helped make them stars. The Scorpions then got Uli Jon Roth for lead guitar and produced a few hard rocking albums in the 70s until he left and their current lead guitar #1 is Mattias Jabs, who integrated quickly in the band and the produced a series of kill albums, starting with Lovedrive and through the 80s. Phenomenal band, one of the best hard rock/metal hybrids you will ever hear try The Zoo for some more evidence of their musical prowess. That song kicks butt, but is catchy as hell with one of the best hooks ever. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
My favorite Scorpion song. ❤
They were really good live! Klauss Miner and the whole band were on point. What a fun concert. Back then everybody was cool and cared about each other. The music brought us together. I think it was 1982:)
Went to the concert, good times
Love this awesome band ! They do great ballads and they can rock you like a hurricane ! xx
No exaggeration, there was a point, while going to every concert possible, these guys were at almost every concert it seemed. I've seen them 5 times if not 50. Lol! Every concert they were freaking amazing! If you want an amazing guitar hook/riff, listen in on "The Zoo" Live is even better. Oakland, Ca 1985. I was really there. Yes Indeed! Peace On Ya
They are still making new music and touring. Saw them last summer for their new album. They sound live just like they do from studio versions.
Its live....and it is one of the best live performace of all time
j'adore leurs albums rock des années 70 et80 👍👍
So great and beautiful song! Thanks guys! 🤘😎
I watched your scorpions reaction today very cool I seen the scorpions in the 80s his voice is beautiful live that was live there was no auto-tune back then it was just pure music no fancy electronics no computers just pure music 🎶😮 don't know if you'll see this or not list all the rock you guys react to I've seen in concert Geoff Tate from queensryche is another one that sounded beautiful in concert Bruce Dickinson iron maiden perfect Ronnie James Dio excellent 👍 Steve Perry journey very good those guys all sounded just like their albums
Your channel has been a joy, partly because you have that uniquely Canadian eclectic taste in music. You've also been willing to feature young artists by including some talent programme musicians. In this context, I recommend BGT's young rock band Chapter 13, and the Filipino band TNT Boys.
scorps are fantastic
Fantastic vocals!
Love the band! Seen them live 2 times once here in the states and once in their home country Germany
SURPRISE............!
One more fantastic sound from Central Europe 🎤🎼🎸💪🍀🤘
I miss the Scorpions. The masters of the power ballad.
Starting with a ballad from a hard rock band is an odd introduction, but I'm sure you'll find their killer rock songs soon enough.
There's a great live show by these guys called "Live in Athens." A true showcase of just how good these guys are.
Best ballad of the 80's, it's not in competition with any other song imo. Timeless, and still hits me now as it did the 1st time I heard it.
You know how they say you get a song in your head, this is mine ❤
