OK, this is awesome. This is not a song most people react to, it's such a great song and Uli just slays that guitar. Nice one! 🤘
The TESTAMENT cover of this song does it justice, if you've not heard it check it out 😉
Most don't react because majorty in the States weren't aware of the Scorpions until Bkackout therefore doesn't get suggested.
Majorty have no clue who Uli John Roth is
I admit, Blackout was the album that got me in to Scorpions but Taken By Force album ended up being my favorite.
It's equal with virgin killer @@mikenebeker
Ulli Jon Roth (Guitarist) said he always wanted to compose a violin concerto and this is the song he created with that inspiration. HIs song opening riffs are amazing.
Uli John Roth 🔥
Next " Speedy's Coming" 74
70's Scorpions 💯
Always down for more Scorpions! I'd suggest The Zoo next.
Kudos to you guys for reacting to the early iteration of Scorpions with Ulrich Roth on lead guitar when they were truly a solid metal band. Not mainstream.
One of The best of scorpions
This was the first Scorpions song I ever heard. I was hooked.
same here. love this whole album
Mine was He's a Woman - She's a Man...this was a close second.
The old good Scorpions with Uli John Roth in quitar🤘
Great choice! So unconventional in a brilliant way for a track to begin with a guitar solo.
Thank you for the reaction. Great to see it before I head to work. Uli's solo in the beginning is one of the best solos I've heard. 70s Scorpions is definitely different than their later stuff. Taken by force is an amazing album. Keep up the great work!!
Hope we started the day off right for you Bobby! Thx for all your support!
Lonesome Crow!!!!
In 1977, the Scorpions did a roughly 30-minute set on a Swiss TV show called Kaleidospop. You should react to some of the songs from that performance. I'd recommend 'In Trance', 'Dark Lady' & 'Robot Man'.
Robot man is a classic that I can never get tired of hearing.
This is classic 70's Scorpions song. Great choice Bobby, from another metal head.
You don't see many reviews of this earlier Scorpions song which has one awesome guitar solo at the start of the song in Uli John Roth's style. The Scorpions would grow and change and find commercial success in the U.S. the 80s and beyond.
This was one I was going to suggest...it's one of their earliest....when they (Klaus)sang in English but couldn't speak it!
Here's a thought? How much do you think the early 1970's Scorpions influenced a band like Iron Maiden and the new wave of British Heavy Metal?
I remember listening to all this in the early 1980's. I heard The Zoo and all of the Blackout album, or hearing AC/DC Back in Black, it caused all of us to go back and listen to the entire catalog of each of these bands prior to them making it big! Awesome killer times!
According to Steve Harris, Rudolf Schenkers younger brother Michael with his band UFO was the stronger influence.
For me this song is kind a deep cut, because i am not so much familiar with the old stuff. Favorite albums for me are "Lovedrive", "Blackout" and "Animal Magnetism".
Just watched Scorpions doing Polar Nights live the other day. Uli Jon Roth singing and playing some phenomenal guitar. Also check out Another Piece Of Meat and Speedy's Coming. From back in the 70's when Scorpions still were hard rocking. Sadly ended after their 1982 album Blackout. Then they got more commercial.
Uli John Roth did some solo albums that had opera singers on them. He had a 2 year younger brother called Jochen who sadly died 6 years ago. He was called Zeno and had his own band under the same name. They were quite good. Check out Circles Of Dawn.
This was from back in the 70's when the Scorpions were still cool before they sold out. That's why Klaus' accent was still very strong.
Listen to Lady Starlight, the most beautiful solo guitar ever. I cry every time I listen to this song🥲
Absolutely killer tune. Unfortunately it's the edited version, full version is 5:16. Not a huge amount but it makes a difference.
I lost interest in the Scorps after the Blackout album (which itself was far from their best, imo, but still had some decent stuff on it), but still dig their older stuff. One of the greatest hard rock bands ever. They not only had Uli, but Rudolph's brother Michael Schenker of the great UFO at one time as well.
Too bad about their bad blood. I hate seeing family fight each other. And no one fights like family.
The Scorpions were so underrated! They are completely amazing live (saw them thrice). You HAVE to listen to "Animal Magnetism". It's so mesmerizing and powerful. You're welcome. ;-)
Awesome! I've been waiting for someone to react to this one. Just to react to that. Haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure you enjoyed it.
After Jimi Hendrix the Uli John Roth🤘
Scorpions with Uli Roth guitarist(Catch your train) .. Mathias Jabs (Loving you sunday morning)
Ah yes!70's Scorpions is the best Scorpions!They changed to a more commercial style in the 80's and it certainly worked as they became huge . I like 80's Scorpions too but I think the 70's version is a little more interesting. Try Hellcat,Dark Lady or Living and Dying.There are many great tunes as they released their first album in 72.
This would have been a PERFECT song for Dio. Stay well guys
First listen for me. I didn’t catch a lot of the lyrics but musically it was great 👍 😊
Some old school Scorpions from the Uli Jon Roth lead guitar era.. Many prefer that era as opposed when Uli left and Matias Jabs took over and their career took off with a slight change in approach and more accessible sound and vibe that made them superstars. For more from Uli, do We'll Burn the Sky, for Matias, do Animal Magnetism. They were great no matter what back in the 70s & 80s, they always kick butt. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Uli is actually short for Ulrich.
I am a huge scorpions fan I seen them live 2 times this song just doesn't do it for me Recommend the Zoo a must !!!!
The SHIP And Sails Of CHARON. Are on FULL Display in the OPENING CEREMONY of the 1992 BARCELONA OLYMPICS... Along with the c19 "VIRUS" And Covid Vaccine ingredients... Oh That Ship Of CHARON.... SO MYSTERIOUS....
Favorite scorpions song is yellow raven. In trance 2nd, this 3rd.
Check out “Speedys Coming”
Nice choice 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💯
Great reaction guys!! Absolutely LOVE this song.
Being a long-time lover of Scorpions' music, and knowing/speaking the German - it being a phonetic language makes a big impact on how people pronounce things in English. You can definitely tell Klaus Meine is singing in a language not his own - it's very clear - almost too clear! I've found the same with another German band, Boney M - how they pronounce words is perfect...as if they were saying things phonetically! Awesome sauce. Cheers!
Long before eddy there was Uli...The original shredder
The original shredder was Michael Schenker...😉
celtic frost sounding
If you play this song live and don't do that first lead note-for-note...somebody in the crowd might hurt you.
Early scorpions very innovative special classical guitar Uli Jon Roth . In the '80 more mainstream.
My Favorite Scorps with unst Uli!! THANKS BOBBY!!! Of this time frame; CATCH YOUR TRAIN, IN TRANCE, VIRGIN KILLER and IN YOUR PARK OHH and HE'S A WOMAN, SHE'S A MAN!! Hey BOBBY!! How about some UFO⁉️ Off of STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT ⁉️ Thanks Y'ALL!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Good one!🤘
Very nice!
Uli was a flamenco guitarist before he joined the Scorpions. His idea for this song was to play the guitar lead first. At this time, none of them spoke English.
Germany's Best
I’m just curious guys: after a year or so of exposure to so much music from past decades, is hip-hop still your main groove?
I'm suprised this is not blocked. It got blocked on my reaction:/
This is a song you’d think Dio wrote.
Scorpion plays on Diminis scale
Like Odysseus, when this song from the Scorpions was playing, I had to put wax in my ears
, so bad it was. Scorpions Greek word= Skorpios , stress on last 'o'. Charon Greek pron., Har-os. Hades Greek pron., A-this. You all know Greek , it's just that you don't know you do.
See You Tube; speech of Xenophon Zolotas 1957 to prove it. Zito H Ellas!
What exactly is the meaning of this text? 🤔
Good song bad video screen.
IMO Ulrich Roth is miles ahead of Michael Schenker
It's like comparing apples to pears, as we say in Germany. 😉😁
@@michaelkruska6097indeed. I guess it’s just personal preference
@@reality1958 but to be honest, personally I do prefer Uli too. 😉🤗
@@michaelkruska6097it’s a crying shame the early albums of Scorpions are so overlooked. Have them all and only them. I just couldn’t ever get into the radio friendly Scorpions, but I respect that people like it.
@@reality1958 if you include "lovedrive" and "animal magnetism", I share your opinion.
Although I have to admit I'm looking forward to seeing them in August at Wacken Open Air.
