    Scorpions is a German band. The fall of the Soviet Union (symbolically beginning with the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany…and thus reuniting Germany) was a huge deal for the world but also excessively personal to a German band (and citizens of Germany) of the time!

    They were such an iconic band back in the day. Still listen to them to this day. You NEED to dive deeper into the scorpions. The fall of the Berlin wall was huge news. I remember this was the talk of the table during Thanksgiving with the family. It's was huge mainly because our family (both sides) are Eastern European. We have German, Austrian, Polish and Russian heritage. The Bober side fled Russia inim 1886. Dont know the reason why, the last member of our family that spoke Russian never talked about it. She died a few years after the fall of the soviet union.

    Great reaction guys! Not going to lie, this song always gets my eyes misty. It came at a time of tremendous change in Europe. The Soviet Union was collapsing, the Berlin Wall was coming down, families that had been torn apart by separation due to the Iron Curtain were being reunited...it was a very emotional time. This song became an anthem for this change, and the Scorpions being a German band, it was a poignant statement from a group that experienced that separation and understood the power of the moment.
    I'd love for you to do more Scorpions - The Zoo, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Still Loving You (their BEST power ballad, IMHO), No One Like You, The Sails Of Charon...all for starters. Cheers! And lets keep hoping that wind of change keeps blowing for the better of all!!

    The Scorpions were a German rock/metal band, formed in the late 60's, they lived through the cold war. This song is about the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the hope of the reuniting of the world, but the video cautioned that it would possibly be transitory. Oh, and you most likely have heard at least a part of a Scorpions song, anyone who has been to a sports venue has likely heard the hook, or chorus to Rock Me Like A Hurricane.

  • @sportsmom165

    Scorpions are from West Germany but they were the first hard rock/metal band asked & allowed to perform in the old USSR, including a huge concert in Moscow. You need to listen to Rock You Like a Hurricane - one of their rock out songs.

    November 9, 1989. I was a 23 year old infantryman in the Canadian Armed Forces, never knowing if that IT would come; the call that every soldier dreads, but is committed to answer. The world was NOT in a great place, but that day stood out for many of us as it signaled the end of an era; the fall of the Berlin Wall and the (supposed) end of the cold war. This was a song for peace obtained (albeit not a permanent peace, unfortunately). I'm 60 now, and this song is now part of the past, but I still cannot hear it and not have a tear well up; both for the feeling of relief at the time, and for the sadness now at where we find ourselves.

You just knew how big the moment was. No one said a thing. We just watched. This song still brings a tear to my eye over 30 years later. The Scorpions are amazing and they are still rocking live.

The Wall that separated East and West Germany (did you know they were 2 separate countries?Think North and South Korea with less weaponry) was put up in 1961 and came down the end of 1989.

    The Scorpions are a German band originally from the west or the unoccupied part of Germany post WW2 pre-Soviet Union collapse or reuionifacation of Germany. They were also known for their concert in Red Square in 1980’s in Moscow where they played with several bands from the west and the Soviet Union to promote world peace.Their typically Hard Rock or Heavy Metal. This was a tribute to the collapse the Soviet Union and communism in Russia along with the removal of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.

    My first introduction to the Scorpions was Tokyo Tapes....their live album of their '70s music with Uli Roth on lead guitar.

They learned English through music and basically starved, gave up the things people take for granted, and never gave up on the dream.

    The Scorpions are from Germany. The band actually formed in the 1960’s, but released their first album in the early 1970’s. They were huge overseas during that time. Their first concert in the US was in my hometown of Cleveland Ohio in 1980. They were one of the bands who pioneered the power ballad. But for the most part, they are a hard rock band. Their most popular song is Rock You Like A Hurricane. You guys may have heard that one. Some more of their songs to check out are No One Like You, The Zoo and Big City Nights. If you want to check out a gem from the 70’s, give a listen to We’ll Burn The Sky.

    The Scorpions were an amazing rock band.....if you dig deep into their work you will be surprised at the depth and quality of their albums. Blackout and Animal Magnatism are bangers.....listen to "Another piece of meat"....its as good a heavy rock song you could hear . Although this is a great song,it got so much airplay most people identity them to this........a bit like Aerosmith with " Don't wanna miss a thing".......please guys dig deeper,there is so much more.

    Good one! Scorpions *No one like you* is one of my all-time BANGERS. *Still Loving You* is another amazing vocal. It’s a whole mood.
    But I’m sure you’ve heard *Rock You Like a Hurricane.* Prob just didn’t know who it was.

      Being in Raleigh, Rock You Like A Hurricane is everywhere during hockey season. Still Loving You is a must. Blackout and The Zoo are great songs to react to next.

    Again a history lesson in a song (or video as this was). Every single thing they showed in this 'world events' video was big news because we didn't have 24/7 news channels back then and it was just that hard hitting around the world . They were at the Moscow Music Peace Festival on 13 August 1989, at Lenin Stadium. That's when Klaus Meine realized things were changing.
    Klaus' voice is really beautiful, I love hearing acoustic versions from them. I would guess though as soon as one of you read that The Scorpions did Rock You Like A Hurricane you'd heard of it, even if you haven't actually heard the song.

    Songs like these just show that Rock will always be the best music genre. They just hit differently. Now I'm going to go and listen to Rock you like a Hurricane by the same band.

    Huge anthem here in Germany and part of our history. A huge wall ("dt. "Die Mauer"), splitting Germany in East- and West-Germany after WWII was torn down, so both countries were reunifacted. That's kind the "soundtrack" to this event! That's why the capital of Germany is "Berlin" again. As the country was splitted, the capital of West-Germany was "Bonn". If you watch the live version (Live At Hellfest, 20.06.2015) you'll see the audience in tears and crying! Litterally! Worth to watch the live version..! A song about hope, freedom and a better future never gets old or boring! *peace

    I was in Berlin with my father shortly after the wall came down. It was an extremely enotional experience. He had been stationed in Germany with one of the artilery batteries who were supposed to hold against a Soviet incursion. He and the men under his command were never expected to surivive if the Soviets ever attacked. 100% casualties were considered acceptable to hold the Soviets back long enough to move troops into place. Walking through the market that sprung up where the wall used to be was a victory for him and it was like watching a weight he had carried for so long that he had forgotten he was carrying it, was finally lifted.

    This song always takes me back into communism fall. If I good remember, this song was "anthem" of the unification of West and East Germany. In the 90s, this song was very overplayed, but now, this song means for me much more than 30 years ago. We still need to be together, but... life isn't a fairytale.
    Thank you for this great reaction. ❤
    I recomend "Still loving you". Beautiful song.

  • @svenzieroth1935

    From like...86-90 I was the BIGGEST Scorpions fan 😁.
    They actually started WAYYY back in 65!! and were big part of the NWoBM (New Wave of British Metal) in the 70s & 80s with Maiden, Priest, Motorhead etc even though they're from Germany.
    I guarantee you've heard their song 'Rock You Like A Hurricane' 😉

    You have to see it with the band's eye's. They are german, getting invited to the USSR at the late 80's together with band's like Metallica, Klaus said once: As a german son of a german soldier of WW2, it was so much more special, for us like it was for the americans.
    So he wrote that song and than came the fall of the Berlin wall. Something, the most germans hoped but no one expected.

    Such a huge hit and almost an anthem around Europe in 1990. After the Berlin wall , was torn down in1989 , a concert was held , where Scorpions performed this song , for the first time i think ( cant remember exactly ,) Their early songs , from the 80s when they got really big , is for sure the best ones , and if u do any off them later on , live versions are highly recommended / preferred ) ! Hope U will react to some more . Smokey is right , early 80s , up to the mid 90s i think , they where the best . Klaus Meine is the lead singer . They where formed way back in 1965 , but obviously , with some changes along the way . Looong story lol !

    Great reaction and discussion guys. Please dive into Scorpions. They are one of my all time favorite bands. Their 70s material is my favorite but you really can't go wrong with anything from 1972 thru 1990.
    Some harder songs from them are:
    Can't Get Enough
    The Zoo
    Animal Magnetism
    Sails of Charon
    Dinomite
    Just to name a few. Metallica's guitarist Kurt Hammett was hugely influenced by Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth. I could go on and on about this band but I'll leave it right there. Have a great day fellas.

    Oh man. This song and video have me crying every time I see it.
    I live in Alaska - at the beginning they show a shot of the ExxonValdez oil tanker and then a bit of the shore in Prince William Sound - which had one of the best fisheries in the world. The permits and quota shares worth 10’s and 100’s of thousands of dollars. Many people had taken out massive loans to buy those permits and shares to commercial fish and probably should have made a lot of money and had their families set up for possibly generations. And then the stupid captain was drinking and fell asleep and the tanker ran aground and spilled so much oil it’s hard to even describe - the fisheries never recovered. There are still families - to this day - that have those permits and shares and cannot sell them, cannot pay off their loans, are so massively in debt that they really have no way to climb out of that hole. It’s been well over 30 years and if you go to the beaches there and just roll over a big rock - there is still a lot of oil all over the place. And Exxon fought having to pay out anything for so long - appeal after appeal - that at first they had to pay a reasonable amount to all the people hurt by the spill and when it was finally over - people who got any money at all didn’t get enough to cover a months bills let alone get them out of the debt hole they were stuck in.
    And then the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain - there were families there who had other family on the other side of the wall from them and even though they were less than a half mile apart - they had no contact for 20-30 years. My parents have a piece of the wall still on the mantel at their house.
    And then - right at the end - the woman’s voice talking - I am pretty sure that would be Sally Ride. First woman astronaut.
    Watching the wall fall (on TV) as a kid - and then watching people talking about building walls here in the US now has been particularly hard to fathom or deal with to me.
