In 1978, I was 15. My brother and I went to see Ted Nugent and Blackfoot. There was a 2nd warmup band I had never heard of. They tore it up, and pity anyone who had to follow them. That was the Scorpions, been a fan from that day. This song is the best ballad of that era, hands down. Thanks :)
Man, your expressions, reactions and commentary are on the mark. Don’t change a thing! I love watching you experience what I grew up on. Watching you is like hearing it for the first time again!!!
Scorpions songs embodied all that we adore & praise of the Rock music from the 80's & 90's - a powerful voice accompanied by powerful & gifted musicians all making deep thought out crafted music meant to be imprinted in the memory & heart of the listeners Love your Reaction, Jay 🙏
I got to see Michael Schenker - Rudolf's brother and former member of the Scorpions - with UFO in 1975 along with J Geils Band and Perter Frampton- the Schenkers can really play guitars!
This was my first rock concert as a little girl. Back when cell phones were few and far between and it was acceptable to bring out those lighters to lite the night or...other things. I will never forget the show they put on. Great song.
the lyrics Love, only love can break down the wall someday, i will be there,, i will be there, would become the most World inspired Moment in the END of the Cold War, as it came and went(THE BERLIN WALL DID COME DOWN) in the blink of an Eye, and now is just a fleeting memory of how ROCK CHANGED THE WORLD! was no metaphor
Klaus Meine’s voice is right up there with Freddie Mercury’s voice and ALL the greats! Great reaction bro! When I was in grade school, I was into rap, hip-hop, etc. But there was something about the Scorpions that drew me in...They have a certain, and unique, soul! It’s cool seeing another brother react to these cats!!!
I believe the lead guitar is Michael Shenker. Check out the lead guitar for U.F.O. I think thats the original band he was shredding for when he first hit the scene in the early 70's. One of my favorite guitar players from that era. You should check out " No one like you" also from the Scorpions.
From the late 70's on, it's been the duo of Rudolph Schenker and Matthias Jabs on guitar. So, it should be Matthias on the leads for Still Loving You? They also had Uli Jon Roth on lead for awhile, before Matthias joined the band.
Everyone is saying listen to the Zoo, and they are right it's an amazing song. But they have a lot of amazing songs. I highly recommend anything off of Love At First Sting as well as Crazy World. Those two albums are phenomenal.
Great reaction! The Scorpions have to be the most melodic rock band ever. The guitar licks that intertwine with the lyrics are so tasty and never sound out of place. Check out some of their other songs, even their older catalog from the 70's are incredible such as Sails of Charon... that song is a must for anyone who likes neo classical type shred guitar.
Been hopping around the different reaction videos to this song. I finally found someone who reacts to this song like I do….FINALLY! Much love brother, stay classy sir
Back when I was a kid, you heard it at every summer camp. It was the perfect song to slow dance with thr girl you liked, even if you had no chance you could hold her close for seven minutes ;)
I have no idea if you have listened to the Scorpions before but they are good sh*. Tracks I'd recommend: Rock You Like a Hurricane, Loving You Like Sunday Morning, The Zoo, Wind of Change, Send Me an Angel, Send Me an Angel and Alien Nation.
We understand that we had great songs back in the day. I've got about 250 hours of music on my playlist and all are worthy of being there. You've only just begun.
it is a good choice to have chosen the long version! it's a typical romantic song from a hard rock band but, it's really effective and the voice and the guitar are very good. thanks for your analyse
Thanks for the likes Jay, appreciate it ! Sometimes when I hear this song I try to calculate the babies made, I can't keep up the numbers are staggering ;) !!
My favorite version of this song is off the World Wide LIVE album. This is the ultimate lighter song. Now if you have not done it all ready you need to go to the other side of the spectrum and hear "No One Like You" which is a straight up hard rock tune. Oh and closing your eyes during a great song slow or fast just means you are truly feeling the music and you have gone beyond just hearing it.
If someone can't feel emotions during a song like this or a song like "Lady", then they need to hook their heart up to some jumper cables and restart that 'sh*t'. Nothing wrong with feelings. It's not like you were crying all loud with snot coming out of your nose. People need to calm down and admit that they feel things.
Maybe my favourite band, I have heard them so many times and still I feel blown away by his voice. I really liked your reaction and that you had something interesting to say about the voice too and I agree with you, he goes pretty high but it doesn't feel annoying or too much like he's just screaming. Totally agree too thecguitar was just amazing and emotional. Anyway very motional love song, I wonder though if the wall is a metaphor for the Berlin wall too as this was written just before if fell. Next I recommend We'll burn the sky and The Zoo, those have very nice guitar riffs too that I think you will enjoy.
I'm glad you noticed how great Matthais and Rudy's guitars sounded. I've been a studio/session player a long time (a LONG time) and, growing up in Europe, I always preferred how my amps sounded there. The difference is the 220v power. Sounds ridiculous but I've played amps here and taken that very amp there and it sounds completely different. And vice versa. I bought a vintage Marshall the last time I was in England and brought it to America. Sounded brilliant there (and on the tour) and sounds completely flat back here. So many bands during the "analog days" used to fly to Europe to record because of that. Great analysis. Stay safe everyone. Cheers.
Even though you're young Jay I think you understand the power of this song when it came out, a staple of summer camps in Europe, so many people had their first kiss...
I absolutely love Scorpions. He has a hauntingly beautiful voice. This and Winds of change are probably my favorites by them. Speaking of good power ballads you should check out Tesla "Love Song".
Love is a powerful emotion. Metal bands write the best ballads. Also, there are two kinds of listeners: active and passive. Active listeners close their eyes to reduce the amount of competing sensory stimulation. I see less so I can hear more.
Power Ballads will always win you over, that was their purpose so we can say "mission accomplished" even to this day, they still have that effect on people, we just need to show the new generation how it's done. If you don't mind please check out "Heartbreak Station" by Cinderella, just like this one, it has all the elements needed to reel you in silently into the world of Power Ballads, it'll leave you asking for more. Greetings from Guatemala.
Yup. Had many great slow dances( remember those?) to this song. And a few confused young ladies,as I zoned out to this song. Like, sorry babe,for the next 4 min,you're a prop. XD
If you like the guitar then listen to the very early records with Micheal Schenker, Rudolf is great but Michael was better, older bro. stole his style!!!!!
For me, as a woman, THIS is the definitive power ballad. It is, by FAR, my favorite Scorpions song. When I first heard it on the radio (yes, FM radio!) wayyy back in 1984, I HAD to buy the 45 single! I was still in the Navy back then, and like most of us, we had at least one person as the proverbial "one that got away." Anyway, Klaus Meine, the lead vocalist, reminds me so much of Ronnie James Dio. Both men have these powerful voices that also have vibrato and sustain. Too many rock singers 🎤 have no idea what it takes to be a true vocalist. And yes, these voices are "panty droppers." 😜😽💋
I've always felt that Klaus was better at being romantic/slow than a true hard rocker, even though "Rock you like a hurricane" proves me wrong time and again :)
Such a TASTY song! So well written and performed ! Passionate slow song without being cheesy! His voice is just so unique and great! I got to see them live a couple times back then and they just KILLED this song ever time! Great reaction!!
The genre is "power ballads"-mostly from the hair band era of the 80's-90's. It's not my favorite, but this one is lit. Rumor had it (and maybe I heard wrong) is that Klaus did not speak English at this point, which is why some the words sound a little strange.
Pretty sure everyone that knows this song has it on their playlist. It's been giving us chills for decades, every time we hear it.
In 1978, I was 15. My brother and I went to see Ted Nugent and Blackfoot.
There was a 2nd warmup band I had never heard of.
They tore it up, and pity anyone who had to follow them.
That was the Scorpions, been a fan from that day.
This song is the best ballad of that era, hands down.
Thanks :)
Good story. 58 here too.
Totally agree, and in my opinion of all time , and I'm not just saying that because they r my favorite band.
Off of love at first sting album.
Great reaction and Klaus vocal is perfect. Scorpions dual guitars always come thru.
One of the best live acts I've ever seen...they sound just like they do on record.
If I was going to give one example of the term power ballad it would be this one.
Ima say "Amen" to that!!
INDEED !
Hands down, my fave Scorpion song and the very best of the power ballads.
Man, your expressions, reactions and commentary are on the mark. Don’t change a thing! I love watching you experience what I grew up on. Watching you is like hearing it for the first time again!!!
Roses are red, violets are blue. Now you must listen to "The Zoo".
That was great!!!😀😀😀
This song touches the heart, it was always one of my favorites & I'm still loving it🤘 loved this!! Great reaction as always!!🤘🤘👍❤
I'm glad this is that full version. Most of the reaction videos of this are using the radio version, that edits it half the song.
Almost forgot "Send me an angel" by Scorpions 💗
Love at First Sting (1984) album was bad ass!
So many great songs!
Watched them several times in the 80's.
Great reaction, again!!👍
And kudos for playing the FULL version !
One of Germany's greatest rock exports
So many memories with this band

Great power ballad. Thanks for doing this song.

Awww Yeah, i can still see that happening in my minds eye Bruh.. We ALL busted some caps off the bottle tops that night around here..
Klaus Meine’s voice is right up there with Freddie Mercury’s voice and ALL the greats! Great reaction bro! When I was in grade school, I was into rap, hip-hop, etc. But there was something about the Scorpions that drew me in...They have a certain, and unique, soul!

Best reaction to this song I've seen!
Loved this song for years. And thanks to you putting up the lyrics? Damn was I singing the lyrics differently.
Me, too.
I believe the lead guitar is Michael Shenker. Check out the lead guitar for U.F.O. I think thats the original band he was shredding for when he first hit the scene in the early 70's. One of my favorite guitar players from that era. You should check out " No one like you" also from the Scorpions.
Rudolph Schenker is with the band at this point if.my memory serves me correctly.
From the late 70's on, it's been the duo of Rudolph Schenker and Matthias Jabs on guitar. So, it should be Matthias on the leads for Still Loving You? They also had Uli Jon Roth on lead for awhile, before Matthias joined the band.
Michael left mid 70's? Mathias jabs came in the other guitar is Rudolph Schenker .
The Zoo is a real jam by the Scorps
Everyone is saying listen to the Zoo, and they are right it's an amazing song. But they have a lot of amazing songs. I highly recommend anything off of Love At First Sting as well as Crazy World. Those two albums are phenomenal.
That's a awesome song, off of animal magnetism.
Scorpions America Tour 1985 - "Bon Jovi" was the opening act :)
I saw them live a few years ago and they still sounds exactly like this.
Great reaction! The Scorpions have to be the most melodic rock band ever. The guitar licks that intertwine with the lyrics are so tasty and never sound out of place. Check out some of their other songs, even their older catalog from the 70's are incredible such as Sails of Charon... that song is a must for anyone who likes neo classical type shred guitar.
Still The Best spine chillin power ballad! Klaus has the perfect voice !
Power ballad at its best!
Been hopping around the different reaction videos to this song. I finally found someone who reacts to this song like I do….FINALLY! Much love brother, stay classy sir
2:47 "that guitar just slid into the DM's of my soul" 😆 its no accident. this song in my opinion been top 10 ever. and i was a kid when it came out.
Back when I was a kid, you heard it at every summer camp. It was the perfect song to slow dance with thr girl you liked, even if you had no chance you could hold her close for seven minutes ;)
I have no idea if you have listened to the Scorpions before but they are good sh*. Tracks I'd recommend: Rock You Like a Hurricane, Loving You Like Sunday Morning, The Zoo, Wind of Change, Send Me an Angel, Send Me an Angel and Alien Nation.
Scorpions are the definition of greatness.
Every man alive has been in love like this at least once. Yeah... you too Chad. Don't lie.
Both the guitar players are very tight and technical, all of their licks and leads are very melodic and clean
“love dont make no sense”
😄 amen, brotha
Great ballad, now try always somewhere by them..will not be disappointed!!! Great reaction!!
We understand that we had great songs back in the day. I've got about 250 hours of music on my playlist and all are worthy of being there. You've only just begun.
I still remember her and we stayed friends till University...
it is a good choice to have chosen the long version!
it's a typical romantic song from a hard rock band but, it's really effective and the voice and the guitar are very good. thanks for your analyse
Thanks for the likes Jay, appreciate it ! Sometimes when I hear this song I try to calculate the babies made, I can't keep up the numbers are staggering ;) !!
Klaus Meine is always a vocal beast in those Scorpions power ballands . Scorpions forever!
My favorite version of this song is off the World Wide LIVE album. This is the ultimate lighter song.

Kings of the power ballads !

Holiday is my favorite along with the Zoo and this one. Rock you like a hurricane of course.
Maybe my favourite band, I have heard them so many times and still I feel blown away by his voice.

They're dropping a new album this week

Great reaction !! Should be on everyone's playlist... Guitarists Matthias Jabs and Rudolph Schenker
Love the Scorps, try Noone like You, or Arizona, both of my favorites.
Even though you're young Jay I think you understand the power of this song when it came out, a staple of summer camps in Europe, so many people had their first kiss...
So many killer songs
My fav Scorpions song is. Leaving You.
Oh man...chefs kiss is a good grade.
Feel it brother, feel it.
Do Send Me An Angel. It will definitely touch your soul. You close your eyes because you're feeling the music. Nothing wrong with that.
JR - 2 amazing guitarists Rudy Schenker and Mathias Jobs - German Rock Band Check out the live concert video so you can see them play this.
Awesome review!
great reaction, sir
Don't stop at the top, another rocker
That Heat reference! 😂
Perfect 10 Ballad
I absolutely love Scorpions. He has a hauntingly beautiful voice. This and Winds of change are probably my favorites by them. Speaking of good power ballads you should check out Tesla "Love Song".

Annisokay did a song with Within Temptation called Shed My Skin. He reminds me of Klaus

Classic
There’s just one rule in my house : scorps rule
Jethro Tull-Thick as a Brick!!
Jay, have you heard any ZZ Top?
If not, I would recommend starting with "La Grange" or "Sharp Dressed Man". Love the channel. Keep it up, man.
Yup. Had many great slow dances( remember those?) to this song. And a few confused young ladies,as I zoned out to this song. Like, sorry babe,for the next 4 min,you're a prop. XD
You got Shankered
Dude can you please listen to helloween - how many tears. I know youd love it. Another killer german band. Amazing guitar work
Ballards similar to this
Europe - Carrie
Helloween - A tale that wasn't right
Gojira Pray live from Red Rocks
I can't believe someone called you a b**** seriously they got to get a life! if you don't shut your eyes during this song you're dead inside! 😂
Try Ronnie James Dio 4all us Rockers !
Check out The Zoo or Another Piece of Meat, quintessential Scorpions
Awesome Reaction! Check out Rocking in a free world!!
More Scorpions sir!
If you like the guitar then listen to the very early records with Micheal Schenker, Rudolf is great but Michael was better, older bro. stole his style!!!!!
U.F.O. full live show on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert 1970's - Micheal is Awesome!!!
No german comments here, because no big fan base of The Scorpions in Germany, they prefer "Hyper Hyper" and "Holzmichl".
Lol danke shen
He cheated on her and her pride won't let her forgive him! How can you not close your eyes to an emotional song?
Just to be precise, I mean teenagers
The Zoo
Once again the wretched short version. Worthless.
Stop analyzing it and enjoy the song bruh.
For me, as a woman, THIS is the definitive power ballad. It is, by FAR, my favorite Scorpions song. When I first heard it on the radio (yes, FM radio!) wayyy back in 1984, I HAD to buy the 45 single!

Just for your last remark..... LMBO!!
Dio is the bomb. Love him and the music.....Holy Diver album was a blast
I've always felt that Klaus was better at being romantic/slow than a true hard rocker, even though "Rock you like a hurricane" proves me wrong time and again :)
I promise you... every man alive has been in love like this at least once.
Such a TASTY song! So well written and performed ! Passionate slow song without being cheesy! His voice is just so unique and great! I got to see them live a couple times back then and they just KILLED this song ever time! Great reaction!!
Scorpions - Sails Of Charon is a great song from the Scorps.
React a more Scorpions songs: The zoo, We'll burn the sky, in trance etc...
70’s scorps were on fire !!
This ones always been one of my favorites. I LOVE his voice. The guitar is amazing. Great reaction.
Always good to see an intelligent person give an amazing reaction. A+
The genre is "power ballads"-mostly from the hair band era of the 80's-90's. It's not my favorite, but this one is lit. Rumor had it (and maybe I heard wrong) is that Klaus did not speak English at this point, which is why some the words sound a little strange.
The Scorpions have guitar tone for days. Love them. And I’m glad you reacted to this song. Thanks.
These guys brought a lot to metal music. I saw them in a group concert with Dokken, Kingdom Come, Van Halen and Metallica...
I saw that tour as well, I don’t know about the show you saw, but the Scorpions were the best band the day I saw them. Great times
Was that monsters of rock in 89?
@@heenymeety406 Yep, I saw them at the Pontiac Silverdome. Football fields are nice for concerts...
