Scorpion band,
Scorpions rock you like a hurricaine,
scorpions no one like you,
Scorpions still loving you,
Scorpions black out ,
scorpions big city nights,
There's a reason the Scorpions have been around for 57 years and still touring, the music stands the test of time, people still relate to it.
This band is just as much fun to watch watch all the videos
>people still relate to it
Their song "He's a woman, she's a man" comes to mind
@@delete.102 their original videos almost hurt to watch. The music is great but the singer's dancing is cringy.
The oldest hard rock/heavy metal band still in existence!
Completely agree, as a teen I just love them, even their newer stuff is so good, while the tracks like we'll burn the sky and sails of charon of 70s are still so cool to me. Also absolutely love Matthias Jabs, his work is so underrated.
When I was in high school (mid-to-late 80's), believe it or not, they actually had Scorpions band posters on the walls of the school hallways, promoting something like stay in school or don't do drugs. The fact that they cared enough to do a campaign for school kids was pretty cool in my book.
The Zoo is my favourite Scorpions song, it has a beat and groove that you get lost in, heavy on the drums and bass.
Luke the midrange guitar as well
The "talk box" from the guitar on that song is awesome too.
My first concert! This was the opening song...always in my heart.
THE ZOO LIVE WILL GET YOU LOVING THAT SONG THEY ARE JUST A GREAT BAND
Very first song I heard from them and has been my favorite ever since.
Yes
Love the Scorpions.
Youâre exactly right; his voice is magnificent.
I saw them right before decibel laws went into effect nationwide.Loudest concert I ever attended.Crystal clear as well
Robot Man--Speedys comin--Intrance--Is There Anybody There--Holiday---Just a few great tunes from the Scorps.
Yes! Classic Scorpions!! Loving you Sunday Morning, Always Somewhere, Falling in Love, Bad boys running Wild, Iâm leaving you.
I saw them live in Germany in 1983 while I was in the army, I loved it!
For some reason today I've been listening music released in 1984... Beautiful year, I was a 14 Y old boy in school in 1984.
Fuck! How I love Big city nights and whole album.
"I'm leavin You" is a great song from that album too.
Pdta. Blackout sounds like metal?
Well both albums (Blackout 1982 and Love at first Sting 1984) are heavy metal.
They did hard rock in 70s and after this two albums they return to hard rock.
This is the music u listen to. Its the weekend, ur going for a drive, ur excited to get to the destination so you crank this on the car stereo. And everyone is just pulled into this vibe. Pure musical joy.
My first two albums when I was a kid was Van Halen 1984 and Scorpions Blackout. Had them on cassette for my Walkman.
My first 2 Walkman cassettes were black in black & heaven and hell đđ... magical times !
Don't Forget Dr.Feelgood. I think that came out in 88 or 89. Loved that one on my walkman
@@carmelaruck7116 I soon added Shout at the Devil and Ratt Out of the Cellar after the other two.
@@MM1717mm My first AC/DC was Who Made Who after watching Maximum Overdrive.
Yes Yes Yes to Scorpions! Make it Real , You Give Me All I Need and Bad Boys Running Wild.
One the greatests band in the world!!
You should listen to these songs from the World Wide Live album 1985. They sound even better live. The whole album is totally fire.
That's a fact. Six String Sting...
See my comment on this very album. Saw it live in its entirety!
Scorpions BEST LIVE BAND EVER... Seen them many time sounds just like the album đŻđđ”đ¶
I would definitely be into a couple of Scorpions songs a week. Once you get through the Blackout album. I'd love to see you do the same thing for Animal Magnetism and Lovedrive.
Keep rocking T. Scorpions rule!
Love Drive
@@samueljohns8797 "Lovedrive" is my favorite Scorpions album it really shows the many musical styles of the group. The record is almost a concept album of life on the road.
Looking forward to seeing them live in a few weeks⊠for the 3d time. Fantastic live band - always rocking bangers! Klausâs voice is still fantastic even after this long a career! Canât keep it under the speed limit when listening to Scorps in the car!
Absolutely LOVE the Scorpions!!!!!
I seen this tourâ in 1984(I graduated high school in 83) THAT- was incredible
rock you like a hurricane , big city nights, bad boys running wild , im leaving you , coming home , blackout , dynamite , cant live without you , no one like you , you give me all i need , arizona .... their catalog is looooooong , and good ;)
ahh the 80s. back when metal was fun! these are their 2 biggest albums. you can definitely listen to every song on both. i think their biggest song was Wind of Change. they had a different lead guitar in the 70s you have to hear him (Uli Jon Roth) but he quit and they got Mathias Jabs who was perfect for making them huge in the 80s. Saw them at The US Festival '83 and they stole the whole damn day.
Tons more great Scorpions songs for you to discover. They have 7 studio albums prior to the Blackout album going all the way back to 1973
Yeah, lots of ppl dk that! I LOVE the old stuff!
Not to mention some very funny album covers, though you might need to look for imports to get them, most were replaced or edited for content..
Their B side stuff rocked! Had all of their stuff and blasted it in the car, at home, and in the boat on the lake! Timeless
Scorpions are one of my favorite bands. Got to see them live back in the day, they sounded great live too.
I have seen them twice... Checkout the song ... The Zoo... and also every true metalhead from the 80s has the Blackout album !
This track has testicles! Easily my favorite Scorpions Jam & Album.
One of the two lead guitarists in this band, Rudolph Schenker, has a brother named Michael. He was fairly famous in his own right. One of his many projects was a band named MSG (Michael Schenker Group). Might be worth just checking him out.
First concert ever in 1984 was Scorpions Love at First Sting. They recorded World Wide Live on this tour. It was AMAZING!!
Klaus is a living legend, as are the Scorpions. I got to see them three times . 1987, 1988, 1999. Seemed like each concert was better than the last! They ere AWESOME!! Long Live the SCORPIONS...
There is a tale that this song is about a party they had with Judas Priest's guitarists and member of a very young Def Leppard.
Great songs! We used to sing "Big T**ty Nights" hahaha! Blackout was a great album it's about waking up with a shall we call it an not so great looking woman...
Rock on T!!!
I'll watch Scorpions stuff no problem, good tracks here and I like the double shot. The were pretty
popular songs and got heavy radio play plus they are always in the concert rotation, the band plays these
2 songs a lot. I went to several of their concerts in the 80's and 90's and met the whole band once too.
They are one of the few who can bring it live, and sound just like album. High energy on stage too.
- Tasha already did Blackout a year ago though. đ
I be damned ! She did. I'll have to check out her reaction. But yea, these guys are 100% solid. This is one band that I wouldn't mind taking the time to explore their catalog from beginning to end. I will attempt to do it in weekly increments. Maybe I can get a weekly following to join me in the journey.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT ill be along for the ride ;)
saw these guys with motley crue at the riverfest in LR Ark, the crue honestly should have just stayed backstage , they were honestly bad on their own , but to follow the Scorpions was just embarrassing , ... really sad too , i like the crue , but the Scorpions totally blew them off the stage
Scorpions World Wide Live....That is one of the best Live Albums out there. All their Hits up till that year. Give it a Listen.
Blackout is one of my favorites, just a pure jam! Maybe the 2-fer is the way to slip in some deeper songs with the big hits.
Just saw them in their 2022 North American tour that kicked off in Toronto August 21st
Man
What a show !!!!!!
These guys haven't lost a beat
Just as good 20 yrs ago
these are just 2 of the reasons they are STILL my favorite band ;)
blackout is one of the greatest riffing songs of all time,left a big impression on me when released in '82 as a 14yr old,imagine having this & Ozzy's 'diary of a madman' released around the same time,geez i was spoilt
My favorite songs from The Scorpions.....Blackout and The Zoo. Saw them back in 83 at the US Festival in Devore California. They were by far the best band playing out of all that were there.
"Rock You Like A Hurricane" is SO overplayed that if I'm listening to the radio and it is playing I IMMEDIATELY change the station.
Sincerely,
"Paradise City"
LOVE LOVE LOVE The Scorps!!! If you wanna take a deep dive try "In Trance" from the album of the same name! So amazing!
đ¶ You keep me Burnin..... Always Yearnin đ€ đ¶ Love the Scorpions! Hard to pick a favorite, aside from the hits I love "Now" it's just crazy fun.
"no one like you" is probably their most popular song! One of my favorites! You should check it out, if you haven't, sorry.
T this is my favorite album. Scorps is my favorite band. Buddy turned my on the them in college. I havent been the same since.
if you remember their 70s stuff was more hard rock, then it turned more metal in the 80's, then once they got more recognition turned more popish, that's why you should have done Big City nights after.
I'd take sal's of Charon over stairway
Popish? You trippin'...
By far my favorite scorpions album "Blackout"
Hey T â. Scorpions was one of the first bands I got in to...check out their early stuff ( 70's )
Two of my faves by the Scorps. Oh man... is right! If Blackout doesn't get your blood pumpin', you don't have a pulse. That's an aggressive tune, man. The golden era... right on, man.
I have been a đŠ Scorpions fan since the early 80's and in the last couple of years I have discovered their 70's music like entrance, always somewhere,sails of Cheron,etc. Note: Klaus and Shenker are both in their early Seventies and are still Rocking; hopefully they can have the Longevity of Mick Jagger.
Your comments at the end are spot on. Tight is right! Don't F around could not be a better statement!
Blackout (1980) and LoveDrive (1979) we're absolutely their their 2 best albums altho Love At First Sting (1984) was by far their biggest selling album. I saw them on that tour with 67,000 others outdoors in Phoenix, Az. Labor Day weekend. Aerosmith opened. My sister found a Polaroid camera on the ground. I snatched it out of her hand and took off for the front. I got separated from my sister and my girlfriend, tripping on acid. I didn't see them till the Scorpions we're doing their Encore, and the crowd in front of me parted and my sister fell on the ground right in front of me. Unbelievable show. I cried through Holiday. It was so loud and crystal clear and note perfect to the album. It was amazing. Should have seen the crowd go nuts when they played Arizona. Man, what fun times.
The Scorpions arrived in N. America at the cusp of rock music returning in full force and breaking big on radio, just as disco was starting to wane... When MTV became a promotional juggernaut, the Scorpions rode that wave too... Commercially, they were outselling Iron Maiden and Judas Priest by 1984 as 'Love at first sting' would sell 3 million copies in the US, mainly because girls loved the band's ballads ("Holiday"... 'Still loving you' ... 'When the smoke is going down').
The primary reason the Scorpions were so good live was because they spent a lot of years on tour in the 70's, before they broke big in the 80's... Klaus & Rudolf Schenker (guitar) were the only original members, but the 1980 line-up had Francis Buccholz (bass) since 1974... Herman Rarebell (drums) since 1978... and Matthias Jabs (lead guitar) since 1979... the Scorpions played 181 shows between 1984 to 1986 on the 'Love at first sting tour'... They were truly exhausted and took a year off, and it took another year before a new album 'Savage amusement' was released in 1988... the producer Dieter Dierks wanted it to be as big as Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' album, but that didn't happen (it sold platinum). But it was the 1990 album 'Crazy world' that sold 2x platinum on the strength of the ballad 'Wind of change'.
Unfortunately, the 90's came in, and the Scorpions became 'uncool' in the grunge era... longtime bassist Francis Buccholz left the band, bassist Ralph Rieckerman joined... their 1993 album 'Face the heat' failed to reach gold sales... longtime drummer Francis Buccholz left the band after the 1995 live album 'Live bites'... Scorpions' 1996 album 'Pure instinct' was another commercial failure - critics complained it had too many ballads. A session drummer played on the record, then drummer James Kottak joined the band.
In 1999, the Scorpions tried to 'modernize' their sound using electronic beats and that album 'Eye II eye' was a disappointment... Clearly, fans did not want an industrial version of Scorpions... The band's fortunes did rise again w/ the next 3 records returning to hard rock - 'Unbreakable' (2004)... 'Humanity: Hour 1' (2007) ... and 'Sting of the tail' (2010).
My top 3 favorite Scorpions songs
Big City Nights
Bad Boys Running Wild
Lady Starlight
All great songs!!!
His voice is still as strong today as ever
Great taste. The Scorpions rock!
glad ur finding out and enjoying what weve known and enjoyed for decades ;)
Awesome reaction. I just saw them in Vegas, I love them!
This band was the first I saw in concert. They were so good! Vixen showed up to watch and caused a bit of a stir, but the funniest thing was when they played their new song 'Winds of Change', most of the audience decided that was a good time to visit the bathroom! đ
I bet you would really like a older Scorpions song called "Sails of Charon" came out in the late 70's. Testament did a great cover of it too. Hope you like it.
Bro, these guys are really good!!! Been a fan since the early 80's !!!!
I think he's got one of the best voices in rock and roll of all time really great band great reaction Tđ„đ„đ„đ„âźïžâ„ïž I consider these guys rock and roll more than a heavy metal band yeah it has all the great songs on her man still Loving you is very very awesome
The Scorpions were a favourite of my dad but they were popular enough that my generation appreciated them in the 1980s. They the oldest band still touring, drummer Mickey Dee is the youngest, I think he recently turned 51 or 52.
Mickey was the drummer for Motorhead for many years up until Lemmy passed, so how about some Born To Raise Hell (featuring Ice T) or Killed By Death?
đ„đ„Scorpions 70-s80âs the best years. Everything from Corky Park , Send me. An Angel puređ€źđ€ź
I have to agree with all your points. This band rocks. I always was drawn to Klausâs vocal. Dude was amazing.
Animal Magnetism is another banger by Scorpions!!đ€đ»đ€đ»
Klaus is the shit on blackout. He actually lost his voice before recording this record and had surgery and STILL came back and shredded his voice....for ROCK!!
Brings back memories. Pre-funk song with your boys prior to hitting the town ... Let's go get it!
This music sounds better on vinyl like most of the older music does. I got a whole collection of my old albums on vinyl still play them today on my home audio system.
RHYTHM OF LOVE
12:37 yes Exactly my guy well said đ€
Rock You Like A Hurricane became famous because sports teams were using it to pump up fans during games. NHL teams all used it at some point in every game in every city. Most people know the song but not the band.
Im leaving you from that album is amazing. Great album.
It's really hard to name the one favourite song. Maybe "In Trance" from the Uli era and "The Zoo" from the Mathias era. But you should also listen to Klaus' duet with Tobias Sammet on Aventasias "Dying for an Angel"
PS a gem is "Koyo no tsuki" on Tokyo Tapes
and you're wrong about this song being underrated, This is THE song, and the album that broke them into America. period...
I was just reading the Wiki. I don't know too much about them.
Trust me on this. I have been a Scorpions fan my entire life. But hear me out if you want the goods. This rhythm guitar player for Scorps, Rudolph Schenker, he fantastic and consistent. But his younger brother, Michael, who taught Rudy how to play, started Scorpions in 1965 with him and plays lead. He left the band after one year and joined UFO. He is hands down, the most influencial guitar player in heavy rock. He never got the uber fame his brother did, but he is the GOAT. So many bands would not exist without him. Metallica's guitar player Kirk Hammett heard Michael's lead on the song Mother Mary and went out and got a guitar and started playing. Def Leppard's singer said in an interview that they saw UFO when they were nobody and saw Michael and said, "Are we doing this or what?" Iron Maiden opens every concert with UFO's Doctor Doctor because it's Maiden's favorite guitar player. When Randy Roads died, Ozzy called Michael to offer him the gig but Michael didn't want to play other people's music. He wanted to create. He is your guitar hero's hero that the general masses don't seem to know about. Sorry so long but please check out a UFO song with Michael in his prime in 1979 playing the live Hot and Ready or any song really off that live album. The dude is just on fire. czcams.com/video/b6lHWuSVUYU/video.html
Scorpions are my favorite band. I can suggest so many songs by them. Iâm gonna see them in concert in a couple of weeks. Klaus still sounds incredible at 74 yrs old.
the scorpions are STILL my favorite band 40+ years later ... honestly i wouldnt say klaus was THE best vocalist ever , definitely top 10 overall, top 3 most unique ... live tho , he and the WHOLE band definitely the BEST , they blow all other bands ive seen live away , and ive seen a lot
Love Blackout
Got to check out Sails of Charon, Scorpions from the 70s, check out the performance video, Ule John is one of the most underrated guitarists
One of my favorite bands. We saw them in the late 80s at Blossom Music Center (near Cleveland). It was an outdoor amphitheater with a roof over part and then sloped hillside for the rest. We were 20 rows back from the stage and the music was so loud that it moved your clothing, moved your hair. They sound live exactly like the studio recordings.
Very trippy Scorpion's đŠ song is, "The Zoo!" But my favorite.
Blackout and world wide live are my two favorite albums by anyone. Forced on me by my older brother in college at the time, I would soon listen to them on my own over and over. Hey I was in elementary school, not much else to do, ha.
I dont know if they are really the best albums in rock but circumstances plus their quality make them mine.
scorpions and whitesnake coming to San antonio September 24th can't wait it's gonna be awesome
how did david coverdale sound? he was struggling when i saw him last, probably about 6 or 7 years ago.
Coming Home is a hidden gem(banger) from Love At First Stingđ€đ»đ€đ»
So many good songs from the Scorpions. Here are a few other albums that you can't go wrong with: Intrance, Animal Magnetism, Lovedrive, Worldwide Live, Savage Amusement, and Crazy World. I can't count the number of times I saw this band and they were always amazing . This will be an awesome journey for you to dive into.
My favorite song on Blackout is the song Dynamite. It might be my favorite scorpions song overall. Totally bad ass rocker like Blackout. Another great one is Another Piece of Meat from Lovedrive. Some others are Make It Real and Donât Make No Promises (Your Body Canât Keep) from Animal Magnetism.
And Check out Y&T. They fit exactly in that same vibe from that era and are a tight, great olaying band.
"Coming home " off the Scorpions - World Wide Live Album
The early eighties were about hard rock... As the eighties progressed Things got poppy and then poppy and then more pop metal
I so much love the early eighties hard rock, it's my favorite music era
the poster on the wall on the left of you thats the best MAIDEN album ever, Piece of Mind! (but i also like the Scorpions), i have seen them both in concert in the 80's , in Forest National Brussels, Belgium!
You should listen to Holiday by them or a really old first album Lonesome Crow.
Hey T . I saw them on the Love at First Sting Tour in 80's. I think Y&T opened for them.đ€ I really like the song The Zoo and Big City Nights. The Zoo is not a fast song like blackout but it's so cool. You need to hear it and react to it. I think rock you like a hurricane was the biggest hit maybe for them in US. They also had Tease Me Please Me but I don't think it was a big hit. Thanks for all you do. It takes me back. đđ
Here's the story on the song black out! Rodolph Schenker blacked out on stage and hit the ground at a show, hints the song Black Out!!!
Don't sell yourself short by listening to only arena rock Scorps. Listen to the early releases with one of rocks greatest guitarists side by side with Klaus. Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, Virgin Killer and the album most fans back then considered their Magnum Opus. Taken By Force. Music for music's sake, not to obtain radio play.
This song slaps dont it!?
so i lived in a town called Tipp City, OH. i played the hell out of this cassette, and we'd be out cruising. we'd always sing "Tipp City, Tipp City nights!" everytime. corny stuff, lol. edited to add, what ended up being my all time favorite Scorps album is Tokyo Tapes. every song kicks ass on it.
To me Scorpions best album is Savage Amusement. Every track is stellar. Rhythm of Love, Passion Rules the Game, We Let it Rock, You Let It Roll, Every Minute, Every Day, etc.
hard to pick a favorite from the Scorpions , they have SO many GOOD ones , but if forced to pick , prolly Bad Boys Running Wild , SO tuff and raw , and jammin ;)
Way back in the day, I was cruising around listening to this and I hear my young daughter in the back seat singing her little heart out "Pig city, pig city nights!"
Blackout is one of my favorite albums - I would LOVE to hear you do the whole thing and then go back even farther and check out the Lovedrive album
