By 1984, after releasing eight studio albums, the Scorpions struck gold with one of the most iconic mainstream metal songs of the decade. The band's signature sound, driven by Rudolf Schenker’s catchy rhythm riffs, truly shined in “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” This song’s unforgettable intro riff has become a staple in rock music. With Matthias Jabs’ melodic leads and Klaus Meine’s charmingly quirky lyrics, the Scorpions earned their place as megastars. Addressing the debate over how a rocking hurricane should sound, Schenker noted that the double-meaning lyrics add a unique, "sexual hurricane" twist. Dive into the story behind this legendary track and see why it remains a metal anthem!
"Winds of Change " is a must hear, that song will outlive the Scorpions
You should really listen to 'Still Loving You'. I know you guys like great vocalists, and in that song, you can really hear how talented and strong his voice is. Edited to add: Still Loving You is also just a very beautiful and kinda sad song. I recommend reading the lyrics before or as you're listening. It's very heartfelt, and the way he sings, it sounds like it's coming right out of his soul. It's one of my all-time favorites. I have had it on my playlist since the 80s. haha
Singer, Klaus Meine is now 76 years old and still has vocal skills today.
Still loving you ? Nope , try BLACKOUT!
Great song, but come on, that's what everyone recommends to every reactor on UA-cam. And they might have the same reaction to it they did to Skid Row's "I Remember You," comparing them to the Back Street Boys, lol
@@bmiamiwai Better
@@supertrexandroidx Nah, I rever recommend "I remember you". I hate that song, SR has much better ones. I recommend Still Loving You because it's one that doesn't have too much heavy music to distract and it shows his range.
No One Like You was a big hit for this awesome band. Worth a check.
Second best track.
Big City Nights and Bad Boys Running Wild, the whole album is fire, 10/10
Winds of changes
Still loving you and wind of changes
The 80s were the best decade for Rock.
Well, for me it was.
From pop Rock to heavy metal. The 80s had it all in abundance.🤟
Yuck. 😊
The Scorpions are the real deal . They are from Germany , and it was not expected to be a rocker in thier early days.
@@santosmadrigal3702 The real deal Holyfield.
🤟
Ducking autocorrect ! I meant excepted ...
'80's had so much good music, artists and record companies were trying so hard to shake off the '70's giant rock band blues, so many bands got signed if they had even 1 album worth of material and they were doing something original and daring
Big City Nights by the Scorpions is my favorite
I'm about to be looking 60 in the eye, and the Scorpions have been a band longer than I've been alive. They blew up in the 80s, though. "No One Like You" and "Wind of Change" are must hears.
I saw them last month in Madrid, on 16th, and it was AMAZING. Still ROCKING like a HURRICANE!!
The Scorpions did form in the 60. It's a 70s band that got really popular, starting in the 80s. Y'all should check out "Big City Nights" and "No Pain No Gain".
They have a bunch of great song. Check out "No One Like You" and "Still Loving You"
The Scorpions were highly favored during the 80s. " still loving you," is stunning. Great reaction. Thank you.
My all-time favorite band, I just saw them in concert in Las Vegas a couple of months ago. Try some of their earlier stuff: Far Away, Fly People Fly, The Zoo, Sails of Charon. I could literally list off a dozen more. The Fly to the Rainbow album came out in 1974, absolutely fire!!!!!
This entire album is fire 🔥
The sails of Sharon. It rocks
When I heard the song “ the zoo” on the radio back in the early 80s. It got me into the scorps 👍
Love The Zoo
❤❤❤❤the 80’s were the BEST !!! Great jam !! So much fun !! It was a great great time !! I went to high school w one of the drummer’s that played for The Scorpions. He sadly passed away last Feb😢😢
Love the Scorps. These dudes are still touring and going strong today, and have an unbelievably deep catalog going back to the 70s.
Check out We’ll Burn the Sky or the Zoo for some of their earlier songs. ☮️
No One Like You and Still Loving You are classics that showcase the lead singer's (Klaus) powerful voice. So glad you all enjoyed this song, it is a quintessential metal song from the 80s. Bang your heads!🤘
Saw them 3 times, always great
It may have only got to 25 on the chart, but I've heard it in car ads, movies and seen so many NFL teams and MMA chanps make thier entrance to it...Probably made them twice the $$ than the record sales by now! I saw the Scorps in '81 and they smoked us like a blunt with the energy and studio-perfect sound.
This made them famous in my opinion was played everywhere every day. Fist song I heard from the Scorpions. Enjoy fellas
The earliest Scorpions song I know and like is "Hey You" from 1980, which I thought was earlier than that, until today. Thanks for the video.
Scorpions is the longest running German hard rock band and they have culminated a massive worldwide audience. They spent a decade struggling before success came and they were arena ready by 1978 when they took on the world.
Formed by Rudolf Schenker (guitar) in Hanover, (West) Germany in 1965... Scorpions were originally a beat rock combo band and were huge fans of British rock in the 60's... They made the decision to sing in English because they wanted a wider appeal... Rudolf became friends w/ another local singer Klaus Meine, a short fellow w/ a powerful voice... Rudolf had a teen brother Michael Schenker who was an exceptional lead guitarist at 14 and recommended him for Klaus' band Mushrooms... By 1970, Klaus' band broke up... Scorpions were changing their sound and Rudolf suggested that Klaus Meine (vocals) and brother Michael Schenker (lead guitar) join ... The band was getting into the psychedelic 'space rock' music of Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, etc... and Scorpions recorded their debut album 'Lonesome Crow' in 1972 in that style of music. They opened for a UK rock band U.F.O. and Michael Schenker accepted an offer to join the band and left Scorpions in 1973... he became a guitar legend in his own right w/ his career in U.F.O. and Michael Schenker Group (M.S.G.)
After the breakup of the original Scorpions, Klaus and Rudolf were not ready to give in... They teamed up w/ Ulrich Roth (lead guitar, now Uli Jon Roth) and Francis Buccholz (bass) and reformed Scorpions in 1974... releasing their 2nd album 'Fly to the Rainbow'... w/ a heavier rock sound... Scorpions released more studio albums like 'In trance' (1975)... 'Virgin Killer' (1976) and 'Taken by force' (1977)... but lacked label support and proper management in those years and were only able to tour in Europe as they evolved musically... They were known for their early hits like - "Speedy's coming" ... 'In trance' ... 'Sails of Charon' ... "We'll burn the sky"... 🔥🔥
Herman Rarebell (drums) joined Scorpions in 1977 and the band acquired new management and had a gold record ('Taken by force') in Japan by 1978 and did their first tour there to huge audiences... a live album 'Tokyo Tapes' was recorded in Japan and released in 1978 as guitarist Ulrich Roth left the band... lead guitarist Michael Schenker briefly rejoined Scorpions in 1978 after falling out w/ U.F.O. but left shortly after... Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) joined Scorpions in 1979.
In '79, Scorpions had a new label and toured the USA for the first time for the album 'Lovedrive'... it sold gold (half million copies) in the US as Scorpions transformed into an arena rock band and scored a platinum record 'Animal magnetism' in 1980.
However, Klaus Meine required surgery on his vocal chords in 1981 and took a year to recover... Scorpions loyally refused to replace him and waited while Klaus recuperated... He was finally able to sing again and recorded the album 'Blackout' in 1982 - it became another platinum success... 'Love at first sting' (1984) became Scorpions' biggest selling album at 3x platinum w/ 'Rock you like a hurricane'... and the hit ballad "Still lovin' you"... Scorpions appealed to both the men for their hard rock songs and women for their tender ballads... Their massive world tour in 1984/'85 was captured on their live album 'World wide live' in 1985.
Scorpions returned in 1988 w/ 'Savage amusement' and played Russia (then USSR) for the first time in '88 and again on the Moscow Peace Festival in '89... Klaus Meine saw the changes and was inspired by the tour of Russia to write the ballad 'Wind of Change'... which became one of their biggest hits from their album 'Crazy world' in 1990, which sold 2x platinum in the US.
Some of Scorpions' biggest hits from that era - 'No one like you' ... 'The Zoo' ... 'Holiday' ... 'Is there anybody there' ... 'Rhythm of love'... 'Tease me, please me' ... 'Believe in love' ... 'Arizona' ... 'Make it real'... 'Under the same Sun'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Longtime bassist Francis Buccholz left Scorpions and was replaced by Ralph Rieckerman (bass) in 1993 for the album 'Face the heat'... Longtime drummer Herman Rarebell left the band in 1995 before Scorpions recorded the 'Pure instinct' album in 1996... James Kottak (drums) from the US joined Scorpions in 1997... but the 90's grunge/ alternative rock scene had decimated Scorpions' popularity and they struggled to sell records in that decade... They even released a pop-influenced album 'Eye II Eye' in 1999... In 2000, they recorded an album of their classic songs w/ a symphony orchestra as 'Moment of glory'.
In 2004, Pawel Maciwoda (bass) joined Scorpions for the album 'Unbreakable' ... and the band saw their popularity rise again by 2010 w/ the albums 'Humanity Hour 1' (2007) and 'Sting of the tail' (2010)... Scorpions considered a 'farewell tour'... but their rising popularity worldwide prompted them to reconsider... However, after recording the album 'Return to forever' in 2015, longtime drummer James Kottak was fired due to his alcohol abuse... Mikkey Dee (drums) joined in 2016; he had been Motorhead's drummer since 1992 until the band ended in 2015.
James Kottak passed away in early 2024 (R.I.P)
Scorpions carried on touring and their latest record 'Rock believer' was released in 2022.
WOW!Great history!
That entire album is fire.
This is one of my favorite 80's songs and bands!
I saw them in the early 90s and they kicked ass. They were so good live and this song was rocking ❤ Great reaction as usual my friends and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
This was a great time for MTV
Best early scorpions IMO (1970's) are We'll Burn The Sky and Sails Of Charon. Both with guitar player Uli Roth who dated Jimi Hendrix's ex girlfriend. He is considered the originator of classical influenced metal guitar soloing. Charon has been covered by about a hundred metal bands due to its guitar work. The first song I mentioned is a greay ballad amd was written with the woman mentioned. Roth quit in 1978 because he did not like the more commercial direction they were going.
First of all, Richie Blackmore is the founder of neoclassical rock and metal, and it all started with HIM!!! Jon Roth left because he couldn't give them anything as a guitarist,first of all, he's mediocre and a CHEAP FAKE for Hendrix, he hindered the development of the band, and only the completely UNIQUE AND OUTSTANDING MATTHIAS JABS came and changed the situation and the course of the entire Scorpions history forever!!! Forget about Sails of Charon,it's garbage!!! Matthias, author and performer of the most technically difficult solos in the history of Scorpions(and the most melodic, besides)!!! Many famous guitarists(including Hammett,Sambora,Schenker Jr)...They can't play HIS solos when they play Scorpions songs because they all don't have HIS SKILL!!! Matthias is one of the most technical guitarists in the TOP 10 in the world!!! So,it's good that Jon Roth is gone,the Scorpions don't need a "low-grade Hendrix", otherwise they wouldn't have become what they have become!!! With Roth, they would have continued to play in clubs for some time and then would have broken up and sunk into oblivion!!!
@@user-df2od4cz3b Is this Matthias' mom?
@@jonlandin2440 No, I am a person who understands guitar playing(technique and skill)!!!
@@user-df2od4cz3b Nice. I play as well. Also the Scorps might be in my top 2-3 bands, and I love Matthias' playing. I agree the change in their style was key to success esp. in the U.S. I even hung out with him and his wife in Chicago after their show in 1999. He is great but we can agree to disagree on the superlatives.
Bon Jovi, Journey, Poison, White Snake, Def Leppard, Skid Row, I can't even remember all .. I can give you all the country stars though.. lol. loved them all. And loved me some hip hop back in the day too.
The first concert I went to was in 1982. A triple bill of Girlschool, Iron Maiden, and Scorpions. It was so good!
I saw them live in fall of 1982 in Sioux Falls, SD. Great concert.
The opener was Bon Jovi, before he was famous.
Runaway was great.
If your saying they were old then what are they now because there still going🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I knew they were around in the seventies, so I googled it. The band was formed in 1965. Their first song and album was released in 1972.
As an 56 years old Metalhead like me with still long hair is that normal Music ' Greeting from Berlin- Germany
Legendary band 🔥
A good one to see and hear of theirs is "Sails of Charon." The video labeled "Sails of Charon: Musikladen TV (16.01.1978) is the one you need to see to catch some of their flavor in the late 70s. Super talented group with a deep catalog. Their music runs the gamut and is all good. You may also enjoy "The Zoo."
This band sounds amazing live 🎶🎵 I've been to many Concerts in my live and scorp sounds just like the album Klaus one of the best lead singer
No one like you, the zoo, loving you Sunday morning, big city nights, still loving you, the list goes on and on………
This song receives heavy airplay here on the Carolina coast when tropical systems are expected.
My favorite song by them
This is my favorite Scorpions song.
I interviewed the original drummer once who write this song. He said he could have lived comfortably off the royalties from just that song. He wrote others too.
THIS at every hurricane in FLA❗👊
At the end of the Cold War, this German metal band released Wind of Change. Celebration about the wall coming down. When rock music meets world events good or bad… it’s magic.
Another would be Dreamer by Ozzy Osbourne dedicated to the victims of 9/11. He wrote it and released it in October 2011. In a recent podcast, Ozzy said this was his favorite album. The video is stunning.
living without you is my favorite. Scorpions live is one of the best live albums of all time.
Saw them at the Monsters of Rock concert in New Jersey, along with Van Halen , Dokken ,Kingdom Come, and Metallica!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Don't feel bad Corey, I've never seen the video. Lived out in the country myself back then, so no MTV / cable. But heard the song many times on the radio. Always loved that guitar riff .
Classic track! 🤘❤️
The lead guitarist is Rudolph Schenker who brother has a brother by the name Michael that has a great rock band in the 80's called "THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP"!!!!
Hey kevin Rudy wasnt the lead guitarist.He played rythmn
Matthias Jabbs is the lead guitarist.
The live version from Oakland in 84’……check that out. I saw them in Baltimore, my ears were never the same.❤
I saw them live with White Lion at Starwood Ampitheater in Nashville, TN.
Please listen to "Blackout", "No One Like You" and "Big City Nights".👍🎸
Birth Control - Gamma Ray (Studio 1973) the long version. It's also an old German band.
Nena - 99 Red Balloons (1984)
If you looking for an older song of them, "We’ll Burn the Sky" may be a good song. It was originally written for Jimy Hendrix by Monika Dannemann. She later became the wife of the former guitarist of the Scorpions Uli Jon Roth. Best would be the version from Tokyo Tapes live album.
what a chorus!
"Shout out to all the hurricanes, tornados, and twisters..." That's some high-quality stalling
Love Scorpions, since back then my favorite two albums are still 'Lovedrive' and 'Animal Magnetism.' Both are good from track one to the last. Yes, even got a Scorpion tattoo...and I'm not a "Scorpio"...I'm Gemini.
This is the song The Miami Hurricanes use to run out through the smoke when they take the field. it came out when they were on top
This is the hype song for the NFL Carolina Hurricanes. It definitely pumps you up at the games.
Check out "Catch Your Train" from 1976, if you want to catch some earlier Scorpions, great vocals and guitar work
Your next song from them should be No One Like You, followed by, The Zoo and Lovedrive.
That video is so 80s it creates a time warp whenever it's played. Still a great tune. Scorps were all that for a while.
I prefer my Scorps a bit older, just hung out with Uli Roth recently!
80's was my era and I love my hair bands.. but I will say I still love 70's rock too. But hands down.. my Pop-Pop taught me country music.. I'm a country girl... and was made fun of in the 80's because I knew all the country... my friends loved me when Garth Brooks came out... then they all loved country.
This is the song the choppers had on loud speakers in the Panama invasion
Banger
Seen them, love them, fantastic
Scorpions sre a kick-ass band the lead singer has a great voice. You really need to check out wind of change..
🌴🇬🇺 Really Really listen to lyrics.. supper s x suggestive . It just went by everyone s head🔥🔥🔥
This is 60 years old band and still active!
I am going to agree with many of the other commenters and request "The Zoo" as the next song from the Scorpions. But there are many other great songs that have been suggested.
Awesome song ❤
Try "The Zoo" from the Scorps, if you haven't already.
Gotta do "Still loving you" by Scorpions next
EZO is one to do. Japanese band worked with Gene Simmons of Kiss. EZO album Fire Fire, song Back to Zero. No US charting but well known to rockers...amazing band
I love to see you guys listen to some of music I grew up with ! I saw them 3 times. Check out Gorky park !Great review! 🤟😎
their first record was released in 1972
❤
And in commercials as well.
SCORPIONS - " POLAR NIGHTS " (Remastered) STUDIO VERSION 70s Classic Hard Rock 🎸 You Guys gotta hear this one too.Since the 1970s these guys were Heavy Rockin' from Guitars Drums Bass & Groovy Vocals but Especially those guitars sound like the 80s was born years before in the 70s
Scorpions have been doing as long as the Rolling stones, that's crazy
The video is kinda goofy but most '80's videos were, great song though, Scorpions went through a few phases until they found the perfect formula at just the right time for their brand of rock; their original lead guitarist, Uli John Roth, is a superb player, considered one of the progressive guitar greats, worth checking out his own solo music outside of the Scorpions.
The Scorpions remind me of Krokus. I might be the only one who thinks that. Check out Screaming In The Night by Krokus.
“the itch is hungrySO GIVE HER INCHES N FEED HER WELL””😳😳
YOu should listen to Send Me An Angel...... so different but still GREAT
Scorpions--Dynamite
The Zoo is great Still Loving you is great also
Always great reaction guys.
Hope you would react to Versailles - Revenant Choir official music video.
Think you would enjoy this.
The Zoo is a good one by Scorpions
What were they thinking with drum sounds in the 80’s?
All I have to say is " The Zoo"
A great earlier track is The Sails of Charon
React to Scorpions ‘always somewhere’
The Scorpions were a bit like the BeeGees in they tried all kinds of things over the years before they found something that brought them into fame.
Such a great band, and they didn't speak English!
They spoke English...lol. They had/have German accents, but they definitely spoke English.
You should listen to the Cult Edie
😎🤟
you guys should listen yo Extreme - get the funk out, you might like it a lot
The Scorpions were a decent band.
😁🤘🏼
Thes guys were the headliners at my first concert in Hartford in 1985 (I was 14, the openers were a then unknown band from Jersey called Bon Jovi) and this song is great, but this one ist heir best ( ua-cam.com/video/6VwbyBGbqPY/v-deo.html )
MTV played this video into the ground back when it came out for at least two years it seemed. Good tune, not my favorite Scorpions at all though.
