Scorpions "Still Loving You" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2021
- I need an education that my Patrons are willing to force upon me. Klaus Meine has been in the comments for quite some time, and I've never turned my gaze upon the Scorpions, a German rock band from the 60s who have sung some pretty famous classics. "Still Loving You" was listed as a love affair song, and one of their strongest ballads, and so that's what we're going to listen to for the first time!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Scorpions for the first time, performing "Still Loving You” LIVE.

Please amplify yourself a tad better. Thanks, gorgeous.
Love your channel and merchandise i wanted to make a suggestion for you to review the band is steelheart and the song is she's gone there is a couple live versions but the best one is with the band and it's from the 90s you will flip out when you hear the notes he hits it would be amazing for a professional as yourself to view and analyze it, i just know you will be amazed so i will keep my fingers crossed and thanks for everything you do.
Traffic, John Barleycorn Must Die. Try it, you'll like it.
Janis Joplin: Summertime live 1969
Analyze "Wind of Change" by The Scorpions as well. Very beautiful Ballad and Anthem for the 80's.
I was about to go through a divorce. Was wrecked inside and dejected. Heard this song on the radio and just sat in my truck and cried for like an hour. This song inspired me to fix things with her and win back her love. 10 years later we're more in love than ever. Thank you Scorpions!
Wow that's awesome man, very happy for you. Good music is a truly powerful force.
Great to hear that! Did you tell her what inspired you?
Lucky you :) I did the same but still every other weekend with my boys...dont change yourself...
Legend.
@@theguy6873 Your story is more common. I'm sad to hear it every single time.
The Scorpions are a legend here in Germany. They basically wrote the soundtrack to our reunification in 1989/1990 with "Wind of change", it brings me to tears everytime I hear it, because it makes me remember the feeling watching the change when we came back together as a country.
Absolutely beautiful. Friede dir, Bruder.
I always find it disappointing that Winds of Change is the one Scorpions song people remember. It absolutely pales in comparison to a lot of other stuff they recorded, it's just so... boring and bland. Blackout, The Zoo, Dynamite, Still Loving You... Heck, each and every song from the World Wide Live album is way, WAY better than WoC.
yes right off I do beleave you squirmed
Which K-pop group do you think could do the same for Korea?
I'm not even German, and I feel the same way. It always gave me big feels to see a whole country move past their previous differences,. healing, maybe. I only saw the wall coming down on TV, but It was still an awesome sight.
Winds of Change takes me back there every time I hear it.
Edit: Yep. Just listened to it. Still got all watery. It was that feeling of hope that's so hard to have now.
One of the greatest rock ballads ever written. Truly a masterpiece
Hell yeah! 👊🏻❤️
The greatest
KLAUS doesn`t crack in his voice at all! He has such control and it is natural for him. He just has a voice that cuts like a razor. No one else on this planet sounds like him. He is a phenom that is truly special!!!
Scorpions been rocking for 5 decades. Klaus has such a great and easily recognizable voice. Bucket list band to see live.
I saw them on the Monsters of Rock tour co-headlining with Van Halen. Scorpions were probably the better show.
@@DuaneL1961 Especially since it was Van Hagar and not Van Halen at that time. ;)
Heavy Metal Day on the Green, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, 1985: Victory, Rising Force, Metallica, Y&T, Ratt, Scorpions. A killer day of rock.
Saw them from two feet away for the "Love at First Sting" tour (multiple high-fives with Klause!) and from the mezzanine at the "World Wide Live" show. Best basic rock show ever, showmanship and talent!
@@DuaneL1961 I saw that tour. Kansas City (Cheifs Stadium). I have the opposite opinion. Their set sounded GREAT but the performance was kind of stale. In their defense though they started their set mid day and it was fukin HOT that day. I'm not sure if it was the heat effecting me or them or both but it was just not energetic. Or maybe they were pissed that they went on before Dokken?
Kingdom Come
Metallica
Scorpions
Dokken
Van Halen
We left in the middle of the Van Halen encore. By the time we made it outside of the stadium the show was over. We were almost ran over by a speeding limousine with what looked like a very drunk Sammy Hagar hanging out of the sun roof yelling cursing and flipping us off. That was 100% surreal. He was having a great time. We were mentally and physically spent from spending all day in the sun yelling cheering singing drinking and getting high so all we could do was kind of wave at him as the limo disappeared into the night.
Ooooh. Now there’s a good old fashioned power ballad. Good choice.
That's exactly what I was going to say!! Lol!!
🤘
You totally lost me when you said you hadn't heard the Scorpions. You must have grown up in a cave
@@bdwmusic1 lol
@@bdwmusic1 scorpion s. R awesome
Klaus is one of those rare singers that cant be replaced he has an authentic voice.
Here's something that makes Klaus Meine even more incredible as a vocalist. Meine doesn't really speak English in a conventional sense, and the majority of his vocals is more so done by making the sounds of the lyrics as if they're actually spoken in the English language. When the Scorpions first formed as a band in 1965, none of them spoke English, now Meine can do interviews in English although with a thick German accent. Great band that doesn't get the recognition they so richly deserve!
Totally agree
Not getting the recognition? Have you been living under a rock in the 70s, 80s and 90s? They have been a worldwide phenomena.
@@quecksilber457 It’s true. I was introduced after the Berlin Wall fell to a soundtrack provided by the Scorpions. Wind of Change still gives me goosebumps when I think about what was going on the first time I heard it. They may not be known or popular with younger folks now, but they were arena murdering juggernauts for their touring life.
The man can sing, but being able to drop your accent when singing is actually very common. It’s almost like playing an instrument.
@@quecksilber457 theyre STILL not in rock n roll hall of fame.
so theres that.
over 100m sold records, loads of big hits n records. and no hall of fame.
I’m 52, and a very happy man. I got up this morning, made me a cup of coffee, fired up a blunt and started doing some work in my office. I was playing classic rock and this song came on. I literally bursted into tears. I had no clue what was up because I hadn’t cried in years. Then I realized when I was 15 I had this on a cassette, my girlfriend broke up with me and I played this song 100 times afterwards. No, I wasn’t crying this morning because I was still hurt from a break up 38 years ago, I was crying because this song was tied to a memory I had forgotten. Music can really flood your emotions and can trigger memories.
Ditto brother here. \w/
This was a break up song for me too. You are not alone.
I tell ya though
They call it "puppy love" and say "you'll get over it" and " you don't know what love is" and mostly that's right but at 14 15 and 16 that shit crushes you
We haven't learned how to process it because we've never been there before. My first love almost killed me 😭🙄😄
Love to you. I felt your emotion and it move me
Thanks for sharing 💛
Scorpion + morning blunt= tears
I've waited a long time for Elizabeth to get to the Scorpions. Klaus Meine is an absolutely fantastic singer and deserves to have fans reminded of how good he is.
Amen!
Yea I was kinda sleeping on Klaus. Always liked and respected him, but watching this really drove home just how much of a master he is/was (haven't heard him lately so I don't know how he sounds now)
Wait till she sees the video for Rock You Like a Hurricane. I STILL have no idea what the theme of that video is.
@@DDickinson458 Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/Bz1572jL8ss/v-deo.html
@@seanj3667 Wtf he still sounds pretty awesome! What a king.
These guys are THE only band I've see live over the last 35 years that sound EXACTLY like the album. No small feat.
The tokyo tapes album was truly amazing
Its amazing to see them live, they are incredible
man, they used playback, I heard this song a million times and it IS playback, but still love scorpions, my top 3 favorite band
@@michelaugustodalcim8122 Listen to the full two volumes of the 'Wide World Live' album.... all the nuances, subtle passages, expressions, arrangements, and even more (live magic!) is there. I think they used to compose thinking directly in live preformance (in those years), so live would sound closest to record than most other bands.Also, sounds more sincere. Cheers!
RUSH DOES IT BEST!!!!
I'm still aghast that the Scorpions haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have a display there, but that's local color, not the respect they deserve..
That's crazy.
Screw the RRHOF!
What? The Scorpions have as many great songs as anyone. I am now outraged at this injustice.
Their portfolio is exceptionally vast.
I didn't get hip to the Scorpions until about 1978 when an electronics man on my ship turned me on to them, and by 1978 they already had a "best of" album.
Neither have Foreigner. Tragic.
Klaus lost his voice in the early to mid 80s I think, doctors told him he would never recover and then he comes back stronger than ever. His tone is unique. I recomend you check Blackout
Lost his voice during the recording of Blackout album. If you hear the song Blackout it's easy to understand why..you can feel his voice jumping at you out of the speakers. He continues to sing in top form live at 70+ age. Absolute legend.
If I remember correctly, after vocal surgery Klaus took classical opera lessons to develop a new method of singing to protect his vocals.
Oh, yeah. Blackout is a good one to get broken down properly. And I don't mean just the song. Make it the entire album.
@@suneetsukumaran7673 It was before Blackout, right after Animal Magnetism. Don Dokken was hired to record the demos for Blackout but then Klaus recovered and came back
Read somewhere that Don Dokken did some shows for Klaus while he was down don't know how true it is though .
As a German I would argue that there is hardly anyone in this country that does not know at least a few Scorpions songs.
Winds of Change is a special song for many who whitnessed the fall of the Wall between East and West Germany.
I really like them and also listen to their less known songs. The definition of classic Rock for me!
She needs some Accept next.
Winds of change is up there as well with this one.
@@correlfreehand9454 have you ever heard of the conspiracy around that song?
@@sdpistolero327 nope was never that into music like that just like the songs, don't even know the names of most of the band members or bands, guess will have to look it up somewhere
(after looking it up)cia...oh good gods! sigh, even back then they tried to take credit for something they had no hand in...lovely.
Do you find it annoying that they sing in English rather than German?
OMG, not knowing Still Loving You is unbelievable. One of the most beautiful ballads in music history.
Crazy part is that the whole thing live sounds nearly identical to a CD version...
@@hunam3876 Someone didn't even realize that the audio is from the cd and not live... and it's the version cut for broadcast.
Alex, Elizabeth is on a different level - you have no idea hehe - seriously look up some of her performances and you'll know why hehe - she's brilliant
Irrelevant. If you were to pull up an actual live video from this time period you would hear Klaus virtually carbon copy the lp take. Better actually. Few singers from any genre are/ were that capable.
The most amazing thing about this band is that they are absolutely, flawlessly consistent with their studio recordings.
that is the studio recording with crowd noise overdubbed
Klaus is amazing, but we should take a moment to appreciate how perfect the lead guitar is. Every phrase is just so clever and passionate
Yes. The lead guitar is grossly underappreciated in this song.
so much personality and expression, glad to see it get some love
@@HQbaracuda loved this
Sounds like a duet between the singer and guitar. So good.
Mathias Jabs!
Klaus Meine is definitely very under-appreciated. Phenomenal vocalist.
Why you say that He is under appreciated ?He is accepted by everybody as a great Singer.
what makes you say the opposite?
Klaus Meine is widely recognized as one of the great rock singers.
@@sulatlalaki - He's great at lip syncing too... this "live performance" is actually just them miming the studio track. Pretty sure the band isn't even plugged into the amps for this appearance. Gotta love that 1980's TV, where they were so paranoid that rock bands might swear or say something controversial that they demanded this kind of thing.
@@Mr.Ekshin follow the russian warship, what can i say< i've worked with them, they do it all live
@@losmapachables2003 - Not in this one they didn't. This was absolutely a lip sync to the studio track. Go ahead and play them side by side, and you'll see what I mean.
As a musician myself, I really enjoyed your technical vocal breakdown. But what I enjoyed even more were the looks of joy on your face and the different emotions you experienced hearing this song for the first time. It was the same feelings we all experienced the first time we heard it back in 1985. Its a timeless masterpiece.
yes!
Growing up in the 80s you know this voice instantly. He was so unique and nuanced and powerful. He could soar and the rest of the band were just so god damn good making a mood to go with his storytelling.
Always had mad respect for these guys.
I wasn't a Scorpions Fan, but for me, "Still Loving You" is one of the best Rock ballads of all time.
If you like this than you'll like dozens of their songs !! : D
Try their greatest Hits !!
As a kid i never liked Scorpions but because my parentes were listening to it so i thought. Just to go with it. And there are some songs I love like rock you like a hurricane, send me an angel and still loving you.
Fun fact: as a kid i was very scared of the order version of still loving you. I don't know why
It is the best ballad. Straight up.
Saw them at the 1988 Monsters of Rock in Philadelphia. They blew away Van Halen, Dokken and Metallica. Great band.
@@prrsd4046 you forgot Kingdom Come.
His voice and that crying guitar sound in the solos just drive the emotions in the song.
Agreed. I think she missed the emotional echos of the guitar, which is absolutely fine on anyone 's first listen.
The man knows how to project his core and whole body energy directly through the chords for nuanced, unsurpassed musicality. The Scorpions, undeniably, knew
how to do ballads.
No one can sound like this lead singer. He just hits a tone that's hard for someone to distinguish themselves to cover it with the same uniqueness. He's as unique as you can get.
Klaus Meine is basically Germany's version of Ronnie James Dio. I was always amazed by his range and actually how beautiful and powerful his voice is. I loved the band right after I heard the album 'Animal Magnetism'. One of my favorite songs of theirs's is on this album; 'The Zoo'... but, I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO ROCK! Please consider giving 'No One Like You' a listen. It was pretty much they're break-out hit here in America and it blew my mind how awesome the song was. I was fortunate to see them a few times over the years and they ALWAYS delivered live. Truly an awesome band!
agreed.
Amazing way to put it, Klaus and Ronnie have what I would say are the two best vocals in all of rock & roll.
The Zoo is so powerful song!
Exactly!
Dio or Fredy Mercury ?
You can't talk about the brilliance of Klaus Meine without talking about his stunning journey through vocal horror and ultimate triumph. His voice was DONE! OVER! GONE" After "Animal Magnetism" in 1980, his voice was destroyed. The band enlisted Don Dokken to do the vocal demoes for what would become "Blackout". There was more than a good chance he would never sing again. But like that mighty Phoenix, not only did he rise again, he was never better and STILL sounds amazing to this day. Fantastic singer, great band and a true Hard Rock legend.
thanks for the info
Yep! He was told to take up another line of work. Phenomenal recovery on his part.
I was looking for this comment so as not to repeat it. In my opinion,he was way better when he came back. And he was great in the first place.
@@jeffreycherep8264 he was most certainly better after he came back. His comeback performance on "Blackout" is nothing short of staggering. The clarity, power and range he returned with has been there for most of the rest of his career.
Hey can one of you guys explain what happened to it? Did he just jack it up singing? I was in eighth grade when blackout came out so that's really where I was introduced to them and then I did go a little backwards but I never knew that backstory because to me he crushed it on Blackout I would have never known he had any vocal issues. Absolutely love his voice. He is top three for me
Klaus's voice is amazing. I could not believe it the first time I heard his sing live! Of all singers his voice is EXACTLY what is heard on the record. Absolutely no change from recording to live
I have seen them live twice in two opposite sides of the world. And frankly, rock on guys. Klaus Meine had the same problem Adele and Shakira had, he "broke" his chords and had to get surgery. He told the guys to get another singer and move on and Rudolf said NO. We will wait for you even if you never recover. And he did, he had to learn to sing again (with proper technique this time) and they made their goodbye tour recently.
Got the chance to see them in August in Michigan. Glad I went lol
You think they'll never do a show again? Crue retired and now they're back out with John 5 on guitar. Mick enjoy being retired!
Goodbye tour? I saw them on their "Final Sting" farewell tour... in 2011 !
@@bhscaps Yes, time flies - maybe The Scorpions are through now?
Back in 2011 I think that retirement was bogus. KISS retired like 5 times over the years
and now they are retired. Ozzy retired more than twice and now he's really retired as well.
Shakira sucks so nobody missed anything. Reason why after a few good songs she bombed in sales. Not the same thing dude.
Not a huge love song fan, but this song does it to me every single time.
Yep, this one and Helloween's "Tale that wasn't right"
Hauntingly beautiful song.
Because this song is argueably the best power ballad ever.
Me toooo!!!!😭🤣
That’s unfortunate. Almost every song written is a love song lol
I fucking love 70s and 80s scorpions, and this song is wonderful!
Fly to the Rainbow. Amazing album!
My sentiments exactly.
@@urdell89 Agree, still my favorite album since i heared it first time in the 70s.
Klaus is a gem! A one of a kind! What a voice! He had throat surgery to remove some nodes from his vocal chords and came out unscathed. This guy can sing!!!
Klaus’ voice is incredible! This band is incredible! ❤
yeah he's got this amazing resonance that always sounds incredibly melodic. Really beautiful voice.
It still blows my mind that his english pronunciation is so good when he’s singing. Just a wonderful vocalist.
When singing many non native speakers drop the accent naturally, in part by subconsciously mimicking all the american and british singers we grew up with I'm sure. In interviews you can hear the accent a bit, but it's obvious that he cares more about his english proficiency than most of us germans and has been travelling a lot
My understanding is that they spoke practically no English when they first came to America.
@@rongreen4231 this was rammstein... But at this time english wasnt spoken there was no internet or dailly english influence, and we learned englisch from lyrics witch we often got very wrong end it up in funny creations.
@@athmaid Correct - there are tons of singers whose accent is completely undetectable when they sing, but they only need to say good morning and you instantly know where they’re from. Shirley Manson from Garbage, or Brian Johnson from AC/DC, and many many more. Even growing up in Germany in the sixties, he would have heard tons of songs in English, and for some reason singing is easier to mimic than speaking.
Send Me an Angel, Wind of Change and Rock You Like a Hurricane is a must to know from this band :)
Winds of Change definitely for the singing, Rock you Like a Hurricane because its a kick-ass 80's metal tune! lol
great songs all of them... i would add "Big City Nights" to the list!
Agree on all counts. Wind of change and send me an angel are my two favorites, with coming home a close 3rd. I've seen the scorpions live 5 times (my dad's favorite band), and they are awesome live.
Also Rhythm of Love!!
No One Like You is a must
Scorpions were a force!
Germany's gift to Metal.
Klaus such a beautiful voice
Guitars on point
Drums and bass strong support
High quality ROCK MUSIC!
Klaus’s voice is comparable to Dio in a European way! Can’t believe they been around for well over 50 years. No signs of slowing down! Klaus over the age of 70 still sounds great it’s hard to describe! Once again thank you Elizabeth great analysis!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cheers,
Mike L 😎🇨🇦🤘🏻✌🏼🎤🎧
I was born in 65, and I can say without a doubt, that this song is by far, the best metal ballad ever put out by any 80s metal band ever! This song still makes me tear up a little when I hear it. As usual, thanks for checking it out and giving us your opinion on it.
Same year here & fan of the band as well but I wonder "how about other ballads from them" ? I believe that "Holiday" was a kind of prototype for this song, for instance & I also love other songs from them you know as well I'm sure....'" I was born to touch your feelings" & many others, anyway cheers from France !
Facts. Born 30 years later.
All FACTS
I was born in 70 and imho pop pretending to be metal was a very powerful trend in 80s and early 90s. Synth pop "I Feel You" from Depeche Mode is rather metal than this.
One of the best...not THE best.
This song still makes my 50 year old heart soar!!!!! His voice is perfection
ua-cam.com/video/aIbNeTaFg0g/v-deo.html
Mine too
Same, I saw them when I was 14 and I’m 50 now also.
Those guitar fills just complete that atmosphere, even through the verses.
Germanys greatest Hardrock band with one of the most beautiful rock ballads ever.
nah böhse onkelz first
Matthias Jabs is so underrated. The tone, the guitar lines.
His playing should be mentioned more often. His little flurries and licks make their songs so memorable.
Absolutely underrated. He is one of the best leading guitar players of all time..
💯% AGREED!!
Absolutely, Matthias Jabs doesn´t get the praise he deserves.
It's because he isn't as technically brilliant as other guitarists but ALSO because Scorpions had Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth in the band, both brilliant players. He adds a lot of emotional content to the songs, no doubt.
Man his vocals consistently pierce through that wall of guitar. Just effin fantastic.
And their guitars are hard to beat.
It's interesting how it works, because in terms of tone and prevalent frequencies his singing voice is very similar to a good solo guitar tone that is made to cut though the mix. It's slightly nasal, with a very prominent mid hump.
Full stack Marshall.
And, it's the album version. Not live :)
Excellent sound man too
the first time I heard this song which introduced me to the Scorpions world was in the summer of 1984....I was literraly shoked by Claus performance and I was just 11 at that time...I mean nobody with ears can't deny how Claus is affecting his emotions with such performances using such simple lyrics turned into a deep impacting images..
He has to be the cleanest voices ever. I grew up in the 80s and never knew this singer before, though I have known of the Scorpions and knew they sung love songs. Couldnt name a single song of theirs. I'm impressed and will have to check them out in more detail.
I’ve always said that Klaus’ vocal performance on this song is one of the best vocal performances of all time. From whispers to belting it out, it’s AMAZING
Still Loving You is THE BEST power ballad in the history of mankind. PERIOD.
One of the world's finest for sure.
I also would say Steel hearts she's gone
The best male singer I think ever in music. He’s just that natural talented and has an angelic voice. Truly amazing and gifted.
Hugely professional band..always note perfect live - every time.
Never heard Klaus make a mistake live
lol im sure hes has
"Winds of change" is also a Legendary Scorpions Song. That one means a lot to us Germans. :) (was very popular during the peacefull Revolution, as the Wall dividing germany crumbled down.)
We sang it in swedish schools aswell, it was a more hopefull time.
Interestingly, Wind of Change is even more important to the Russians when the USSR broke down for them than it was for us. I've yet to find a Russian that didn't know the song. In fact I've sang along a Russian taxi driver in Moscow to that exact song.
@@PornopietistgeilimBe The Russian figure skater Mikhail Kolyada did an exhibition performance to it as well that was really gorgeous. I was in high school when this song originally came out, so I was surprised he knew it since he's quite young, but now it makes sense. ua-cam.com/video/Vxuw4ic2WPk/v-deo.html
It means a lot to me as an American, too. I remember watching a CNN live feed of Germans on top of the wall with sledge hammers, tearing it apart, with tears in my eyes. Those were good days.
@@matthbva my Dad was stationed in Germany when the Wall was built. I remember him saying he never thought he'd live to see it come down.
And if good singing isn't difficult enough, he is singing in a non-native language for him. If memory serves, they write all of their songs in German and translate the lyrics after. So he has to think in English while maintaining his vocal technique. Pretty awesome. Also, as a guitar player the licks - especially the harmony lines - between Rudolph Schenker and Mattias Jabs are amazing.
When Blackout first came out I swear Klaus was singing Play Golf.
He had to learn to sing in English each song .he might now speak Englush. But then he didnt. That takes talent.
I seen them in Houston blackout tour , still listen to them one of my favorites .
I've heard interviews with Klaus and his accent is very heavy, when he sings it's hardly noticeable. Amazing Rock singer.
You are correct.
Thank you so much for picking this one!
„Still loving you“ is (for me) one of the absolute monumental ballads of all time.
There are not many songs that touched my in my youth that much and still every f…….g time I hear it I could cry rivers 🥹
Sooooooo beautiful 🫶🏻🥰
Klaus was still writing in German and then learning to sing it in English. I believe that is the ultimate dedication to his craft. This has always been one of my favorite songs by them.
The Scorpions were probably the best live performers I've ever witnessed, and I've attended a few hundred concerts.
They were perfectly matched to their studio recordings, except they kicked it up a notch.
it was difficult to accept what I was hearing and seeing with my own ears and eyes.
Not a single flaw. The audience was literally stunned after every song to the point where you could count to 5 before the explosive standing ovations.
They weren't just "better" than other world class rock bands, they were a whole different kind of phenomenon to experience.
The performance I saw was among the last 3 or 4 shows ending a world tour, where most bands would be exhausted and worn out.
I've always been a fan but I had no idea what I was in for.
There was even a line of thunderstorms along the horizon beyond the stage, complete with plenty of lightning as the sun retreated into darkness to escape the power radiating from the stage.
I'm dead serious.
So True. Such clean performers !
I can concur with your apprasal. Saw them twice and both times were out-f*cking-standing. Maiden and Dio were two other acts that were note for note when I saw them live.
The audio you're hearing is not a live performance. I don't know if they replaced the audio with the studio version, or if it's a full on lip-sync.
I saw them in Hampton, VA in '91. I can assure the one reply on here saying they were lip-syncing. NO WAY. That was the cleanest sound I ever heard live. They are sonic perfectionists. I also knew it was live, because between songs he would scream "we lub ya Baganna!!" (lol). Also speaking into intros into songs, etc. No ability to match track timing if trying to sync. Totally humble; great band that obviously love their fans. Just incredible musicians.
I have to agree this is absolutely the studio version you are hearing. Complete with fade out and Klaus' harmonizing over himself?? Let's see that done live!! I agree that it was sold as live but the audience was either piped in or just responding to them lip syncing.
Here's hoping she'll do more Klaus. So many good ones she can cover. In Search Of Peace Of Mind, In Trance, We'll Burn The Sky, The Sails Of Charon. I would consider Ian Gillan, Ronnie James Dio, and Klaus Meine the Three Tenors of their era.
Yes, so many. Love Ronnie James!
Great choice of "classical" Scorpions.
Especially "In Trance".
My favorite 👌👍
The Sails of Charon definitely. Uli Jon era is my favorite.
Send me an angel, Holiday, Humanity hour
Evening Wind!
I forgot how much I love this song. Thank you for doing this one. I can't believe he didn't even speak English at the time when they recorded this.❤❤
Thank you for analysing this song, Klaus is incredible! I love learning your perspective and the little things your keen ear catches.
Scorpions are the masters of balladry.

Jonny I love all of the songs ..since 1980 baby..my sister's used to tell me too turn that crap off..I was like ,this is music sis.
I’d add Lorelei to the list. It gets me every time. Cool list though.
She's literally a Disney character, I love her personality and her passion towards what she does!
Literally?
No, she literally isn’t 🙄
@@davemccrudden1999 literally, she gets royalty checks for being the real Princess Anna from Frozen.
For real, though- She's definitely got the cute, sweet, excitable nature of a Disney Princess 👸
@@officialWWM you're *LITERALLY* a stick in the mud!
@@T..C..M at least I know what “literally” means 🙄
My favorite Scorpions song. Very beautiful guitar playing as well.
Thanks for listening and the wonderful feedback on my favorite band from the 80's. confirms I had good taste in music. Evening Wind is an old song of theirs you may appreciate. Thanks again,that was fun!
Klaus Meine has one of the strongest, harmonious and versatile voices in Rock. No matter how many years go by, his voice remains the same or better. Scorpions have proven that they are one of the most influential and important bands of all time.

"Still Loving You" is one of my all time favorites. For me as a german "Wind of Change" is one of the most emotional songs. It is the hymn of the fall of the berlin wall and the German reunification.
I too love Wind of Change but Sails of Charon is just epic. Uli's guitar playing is otherworldy.
I second that, Wind of Change is a very powerful song, I love the Scorpions ballads all of them.
I remember Reagan saying "Tear down this Wall", then a couple years later the Berlin Wall came down. Then "Wind of Change". What a time to be alive to see and hear it all.
First of all it a hymn to the consequences of Perestroika in USSR, so it's emotional in Russia too.
Fun fact: the walking route from a subway station to the place I worked for 3 years was on the other side of Moscow river from Gorky park, guess what I've hummed/whistle all the time.
And then Metallica came along and blew you guys away with that 1.6 million people concert.
The thing about the Scorpions is that for as hard as they rock, they always bring a hook a mile wide. And such versatility, with both rockers and exquisite ballads.
This is one of the most beautiful ballads ever written. I believe that I could listen to this 100 times in a row and I would come to tears every time. Thank you Elizabeth!
This song is responsible for so many kids being conceived in the backseat of a classic car!
Fun Fact: Dean Winchester made love to an angel in the back seat of the Impala to this song,
it's that good for setting the mood of love. ;3
I think that was bad company's ready for love.
@@MuhammadFarhan-ps5lk oh yeah maybe your right always get these 2 mixed up their both so epic ;3
Chills when Klaus sings "still loving you" at the end of the last chorus. Really brings the whole piece to climax and conclusion.
I really love the lead guitar, so much feeling
Of all the concerts I saw in the 80's I have to say that The Scorpions had the absolute most crisp and clear sound I ever heard.
My first concert - Scorpions in 1984 at Reunion Arena in Dallas. They completely blew this 15 year old away, and it changed my life; I was mesmerized by their performance, and I was pretty much addicted to going to concerts after that night. Long live the Scorpions!
This is the ultimate power balad. Legendary band... And Klaus still one of the most underrated vocalist of all time, besides all recognize in this amazing career.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest rock ballads ever written, pure perfection
The Scorpions are phenomenal and just so happen to have written my very favorite ROCK BALLAD of all time. Yep, this song is No. 1 for me in that coveted spot. So glad you've analyzed it here. Thanks for sharing with us!
I was born in 1967 the youngest of four boys. My two oldest brothers are 7 and 9 years older than me so they rocked me with Led Zeppelin. In high school in the 80’s I wanted my own favorite band. That band is the Scorpions. Their library of music is insanely good. Take a deep dive. You will love it.
This was released in the dawn of the "power ballad" My best friend had the brand new cassette and I remember the very first day I heard "Love at First Sting". Just an incredible album, playing on a cool Spring day, the sound drifting into the stillness of a small town in middle America. There is some music that really moves your soul. Mostly it was Rush moving my soul in the early '80s, but hearing "Still Loving You", the brilliant composing and the voice sometimes crying out with emotion....it gripped me on that cold day 37 years ago.
It has never let go.
Love at the first Sting 🤘
If you lived the era you know 8 out of 10 song from that LP.
Absolute classic!
WOW!!!! What a story you've painted!!! Beautiful.... you've touched my soul!!!!! I lived through the same Era, this song still sears my soul, uhhhhh!!!....
@@michellemysliwiec2975 Thank you.
@@themechaniacal1558
You're welcome, dear:)
Ive seen this song performed live and this isn't a live performance. This is 100% a staged studio over. It's still great live.
I was thinking the same. Sounds 100% like the studio version.
(Love the song though!)
I was going to type this, but glad you did. You can tell it isn't live because:
A)The backing vocals are there yet no one else on stage was singing
B) They faded the song out at the end which you can't really do if they are playing it live.
Nothing against Klaus at all because we all know his abilities, but I hope people don't judge one way or the other about how he sings live on this video. Not an accurate representation.
It is. I wish she would've done the live performance at Hellfest from a few years back
A giveaway often are the missing microphones on the drumkit.
They usually even have guitar amps on stage, but never really bother with mics
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. I'd have chosen the "World Wide Live" performance for review and analysis myself...
I just saw them in Oakland 10 days ago on their Rock Believers tour and the boys are still bringing it. They always deliver. I am still flying high from that show. What a GREAT experience.
Watching your expression and eyes darting left and right as you thrill to what you are hearing raises the emotion of this piece to another level and your explanations are superb.
In my humble opinion this is why todays artist and bands will never come close to the rock bands in my generation these beautiful ballots were sang produced written and played by true superstars. Theres a reason it stands a test of time. Just listen to it, and it becomes clear.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Are you saying that Cardi B won't stand the test of time like The Scorps have?
@@slappy200 ask me in 30 plus years and we will see. I highly doubt her name will be uttered then let alone her music still being played and talked about
@@pistolchimp217 I am surprised she is still around now
ballads even
An underrated quality of Klaus is his sense of time. It makes his vocals feel extra ethereal when he's so perfectly attuned to the rest of the music!
I know the song so very well, I won't need to go and listen to it all the way through on another Channel. To be forthright and honest, I quite enjoy your pauses and interruptions, I've learned so much. I think you've probably got one of the best UA-cam channels I've ever seen. Keep up the good work congrats on the baby
Thank you Elizabeth. As with all great vocalist you bring out the subtle things that they do that make them great and it makes me appreciate them even more! Klaus is one of the greatest and the Scorpions are soooo underrated. Thanks again!
About time for some Klaus Meine and the Scorpions 🦂
So many good songs.
One of metal/hard rock's extremely talented yet overlooked band's.
@@tommytrixter Overlooked by whom? They are huge in Europe and Latin America
He sounds just as good today as he did 40 years ago. Glad they're still rocking it 👍🏻
Probably because it's exactly the same. This is not modern audio. It's exactly what I heard at least 25 years ago. To every detail. Both vocal and instrumental. Listen to this and older recordings. There's nothing remotely new here. It's good stuff, but it's just recycled audio.
@@reliantncc1864 I don't think Joe is referring to that very performance in the video. It is obvious that this is from the 80s.
20 seconds in and ive already got chills... this song always gets me every time and one of the reasons i love scorpions so much! ❤
Even though thus wasn't a live performance, it was well choreographed with the record version. Every note and breath was perfectly in tune.
The Scorpions are like the Energizer Bunny of rock bands. They've been around since 1965, and, announced that they'll be dropping a new studio album next year.
They have a you tube channel
Its unreal how they have outlived almost every other band from that era and some from the 70s.
Sneek peek is out!
Rudolf Schenker, the guitarist, was one of the few people who could rock a 70's stache into the 80's and not have it look creepy.
Why was that kind of moustache creepy? Not, trolling, I'm legitimately asking. I was a teenager in the '80s. I don't remember thinking it was creepy. What was I missing?
BTW, James Young from STYX sported a pretty good one,too. Come to think of it, so did Dennis De Young (also STYX) for a while.
Um... yeah. He did look a bit creepy... I think I just answered my own question. Thankfully he shaved it. Creepy.
But James! Yeah. He rocked it for a long time.
Eskimo Callboy stil wearing it in the 2020's. :D Check out Hypa Hypa. :D
Oh, it's still creepy. He just gets away with it because it's the fucking Scorpions.
Damn he is a legend..he create this band ..such a cool giutarist
You Hit My Favorite Reactions Video list!
Recognizing every aspect of this timeless Masterpiece!
Klaus Maine is one of the greatest lead singers in rock music. I am never disappointed when I see the scorpions in concert.
One of the few bands that sounds precisely as good live as they do on the albums
which is partly due to the fact that at least in recent years they recorded some albums live.
Queensryche is another one that sounded amazing in concert
It surely helps that this is not live
@@meganega123 I actually commented before the video went live, and was more referring to my experiences seeing them in the 80's. Especially true at the Monsters of Rock where Scorpions were their amazing selves, while Van Halen was a drunken mess.
True. And LOUD
Klaus is a vocal powerhouse -- he'd sound good just phoning it in... literally. I appreciate the Scorpions more for their musical talent than anything else. Their technical excellence is top-notch.
So is his vocal surgeon.
Watching your analysis gave me a whole new appreciation for this song. I have always thoroughly enjoyed hearing it, but now I like it even more.
one of my all time fav song
I know there are a lot of Scorpion haters out there but this song is top tier writing, energy, performance. It’s really one of the best Rock songs of all time. It’s right up there with Best of the best.
The only reason people have for hating Scorpion is for one reason and one reason only- it's because they are JEALOUS.
Scorpions haters? Like wut?
@Greg B I actually love the scorpions
How can anyone hate Scorpions? Fucking awesome band🤘
When you say "Scorpion haters," I think you're a wee bit confused. It's the creepy little critters with the sting in the tail that people hate.
Sad fact , About 6 years ago I started playing bass for a hobby , and I played this song for my father one night while he was staying with us , a little over 2 years ago , after getting out of the hospital from complications from cancer. He really enjoyed seeing my progression on the bass and told me how proud he was of what I had done and that it sounded just like the real band bassist. Sadly he passed away about two weeks after that. Its one of those times I will never forget , and hearing this song brings me back to that moment every time. Thank You so much for helping me experience that feeling again............Love ya dad..
I love when the many vocal coaches on UA-cam react to 80’s metal!
What i love about your channel is that I grew up on this music so I already know its good, but you help me to understand why it was so good then and still good today.
Their performance of “Send Me an Angel” with the Berlin Philharmonic is one of my favorite performances. His voice matched up with Zucchero wonderfully
this one and Wind of Change (with Berliner Philharmonic orchestra) are among the best ballads I have heard so far
16:41 - "It's Fantastic" There's no voice like his. Thanks for your appraisal. I enjoyed it. (My husband was the guitar tech for the opening band for the Face The Heat Tour. He said Klaus was an amazing singer to hear over and over again. And he said he and the rest of the Scorps were really nice people too.)
F@c#ing A. 😊 awesome. Thanks for sharing that story with us!
This song takes me right back!!
