    The way Klaus Meine reins in that vocal power and lets it loose when he needs to is such a great skill. He keeps you wanting more because you know he's going to hit you with "the note" that will blow your mind. Such a great vocalist.

    The Scorpions are a German hard rock band formed in Hanover in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker.[3] The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.

    • @supertrexandroidx
      @supertrexandroidx 5 місяців тому +2

      No offense, but I vote nay on that one. It's a good song, but it's constantly requested, and it seems like it's often by people who just know the Scorpions from one or two songs that got constant radio play in a certain period, after they were a little more mainstream. Not saying that you're in that group, but... And let's face it, all the wonderful things the song's about, that people find so touching, none of that really panned out in the end, did it? Look at Russia today ;)
      Everyone is welcome to their own opinions, of course, but though I like Winds of Change, I like any of these Scorpion tunes better: In Trance, Life's Like a River, Big City Nights, We'll Burn the Sky, Loving You Sunday Morning, Dynamite, Blackout, No One Like You, The Zoo, Holiday, When the Smoke is Going Down, Always Somewhere - and I'm sure a bunch of others I can't think of off the top of my head.

    The Scorps are underrated in the annals of Rock. They have many top shelf tunes, with this being one of the best. Klaus Meine vocals are incredible - have seen them live a handful of times and his vocals were ALWAYS tone perfect. He's probably a top 10 Rock vocalist of all time. The guitarist is Rudie Schenker.

    The Scorpions and Klaus pretty much own the Power ballad in my opinion. They have a bunch of great tracks over a long career. Their most commercially successful tracks in the US are probably "Rock you Like a Hurricane" "No One Like You" "Wind of Change" (released when the Berlin Wall fell) "and "The Zoo"
    Another great power ballad to check out would be "Send Me an Angel"
    I'm personally a fan of "Holiday" and "Coming Home" as well.

WoC always felt out of place to me. I don't pull out music like Scorpions hoping to hear a political ballad. I'm obviously in the minority in my opinion, but I'm fine with that. I'll stick with the portion of their catalog that is Rockers and Ballads.

I'd seen him perform w/ the Scorpions in concert and he was exceptional 🔥🔥🤘🤘He joined the Scorpions in 1979 until today and made the band massively popular w/ Rudolf Schenker (guitar) and Klaus Meine (vocals)... who founded the Scorpions.
    But somehow, fans seem to recognize Scorpions previous guitarists more - Michael Schenker (Rudolf's younger brother) who became a guitar hero in the 70's and 80's w/ the bands U.F.O. and M.S.G. (Michael Schenker Group)... & Ulrich Roth (now Uli Jon Roth) who played w/ the Scorpions until 1978... both phenomenal guitarists who are still active today.

    IMO one of the 2 greatest Power Ballads all time along with Faithfully by Journey.
    Your comment about "slow tempo' but still high energy and how it's awesome when done well but most cannot pull it off - same thing to be said of Purple Rain by Prince.

    I've been to more concernts than I can count in my 57 years of life but hands down Scorpions had the best sound ever.. They sound the same in concert as their produced album. Unbelievable!

    Polo has discovered the "Power Ballad". What do you say we send him down the rabbit hole? My suggestion is Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

    Saw them June, 20th 1991 at the Forum in Los Angles. The whole stage slowly turned into a giant metal scorpin by the end of the concert, like a transformer, with added pyrotechnics.
    I was sitting a few rows from the stage slightly off to a side, and the amps where stacked nearly next to me, and I went tone deaf after the first song.
    My hearing came back after about 2 weeks but has never been quite as good as it was before that concert.
    A guy sitting in front of me had long hair and was head banging the whole concert, and his hair kept hitting me.
    I would strongly suggest using earplugs if you go see an exceptionaly loud band like this.

      Sure, how about - We'll Burn The Sky which was a song written by Monika Dannemann who was the last known Girlfriend of Jimmi Hendrix when he died. It is a song she wrote about their love together. At the time of writing it she was dating Uli Jon Roth the Great Guitarist of early Scorpions. On ocassion he will stil play a venue or two as they've all remained close friends!
      Amother great song would be - In Trance from the same early on Scorpions.

    Try WInds of Change by The Scorpions, as well. There's a (probably false) story that it was written by the CIA as a tool in breaking down the Iron Curtain. Also a great podcast exploring that.

It was so damn hot the Akron FD was set up all around the stadium alternately spraying down the crowd with fire hoses.

      Was at that show as well! Great show! One helluva hot day! Metallica’s And Justice For All had just been released and they were starting to have their first real radio airplay and commercial success. The early/diehard Metallica fans were out in force that day. I still recall Lars reaction to the crowd taking over the vocals for Am I Evil and him standing up over his kit and screaming “F’n A, F’n A!!!” If I remember correctly they announced at the show they just gotten word about the album having gone gold.

      Also saw them in June ‘84 for the Love at First Sting Tour in Columbus Convention Center (Columbus, OH) and some band named Bon Jovi opened up for them. Only recognized one song from the radio “Runaway” but saw them again in ‘86 or maybe it was ‘87 as a headliner with Cinderalla for the Slippery When Wet tour at Buckeye Lake Music Center (formerly Legend Valley) in front of an at the time record setting crowd of 50,000+. Going back to that Scorpions show, I was just shy of 14, and I was higher on music energy that night than any drug could ever possibly take you. That was an unforgettable experience such a great high energy performance, they left it all on the stage that night. Amazing!

    Rudolf Schenker, (who wrote this song and is usually playing rhythm guitar), insisted on playing lead guitar on this track. Thus, your ooohing and aaahing is all down to him. He really makes that guitar cry... a stellar performance.

    Try another power ballad from them that kicks ass and kicks off with a bang, No One Like You, and hold on to your seatbelt when you get to the solo. A lot of harmony lead guitar parts which has always just sent chills down my spine and is what made me first to learn how to play guitar. Rudolph “Rudy” Schenker, founding member and rhythm guitarist, and Matthias Jabs on lead guitar on this song and also for Still Loving You.

    Scorpions are a great band. 80s they came to America and made more "pop" centered arena rock ballads. But in the 70s they were on some experimental jazzy rock. Every musician is extremely talented. The song lonesome Crow has a very old type of vibe from them. But I enjoy it. Not a lot of people give older scorpions their props. They typically share and show people all the 80s more pop stuff. Which is good in its own right. But the lonesome Crow song and that whole album gives off a jazzy pink Floyd vibe. Definitely more my speed of scorpions.
