![Dad brings his guilty pleasure. Bay City Rollers-I Only Want To Be With You. UK Pop [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jRR36nNubRk/mqdefault.jpg)
I was in the Army in Germany when the Wall came down,,, I was at Check Point Charlie when they opened the gates,,, I was on border patrol when it happened,,, I had a 13 yr old East German girl bring me a piece of the wall and kiss me on the cheek and say thank you,,, it was an emotional moment for me,, and when I hear this song I get emotional all over again and remember her face,,, the smile she had on her face
Thank you for sharing that 😢
lovely story
Ask any 18 year old today about the Berlin Wall and they don't know. It's shocking
It is an audible historical record of a pivotal moment in history and what an amazing representation it was! Great reaction!
True.
You are correct.
I was stationed in Berlin (1990-1993), this song hits me so hard. Seeing first hand how the East Germany people lived due to the Soviet rule was very shocking. When the wall was opened and family that had been separated for so many years were able to finally hold each other just caused an emotional relief that nobody was ready for.
I was stationed in Korea around the same time (1989-1993) and fully expected that the wind of change would not only knock down the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, and finally blow away the Soviet Union, but also that the DMZ would evaporate. It's hard to believe that it's been almost 35 years and the Koreas haven't reunified.
I love when Amber talks about the children of the future. Sweet Amber, when this song came out you were in the generation of children being referenced. It was a seriously emotional time. Hopeful. Until that point we lived under the fear of some hot headed politician starting a nuclear war. The day that Wall came down I sat and cried out of sheer relief for my little babies. Thank you so much for this channel, it's my favorite.
This song changed the course of history y'all! The whistle still sends shivers down my spine over 30 years later. "The children of the future" is a direct reference to YOU guys
That's right.
Too bad other children of the future never learned their history.
@@CelticSpiritsCoven We’ve let government propaganda ruin our lives. Screw the Department of Education
Sho nuff
Heard this song being played in Saint Petersburg Russian Federation two years ago , absolutely brought me to tears, never imagined I would hear an acoustic version of this by a young man and woman in Russia , old enough to remember this first time , and it truly did change history. Lived through the cold war and the nuclear threat , peace is the only way.
I was in Germany serving in the military watched the Berlin Wall go down and all Eastern Europe became democratic it was incredible never forget it
If you guys were just a few years older, you'd understand why this song brings up so much emotion. The cold war was very real threat. It was always in the back of our minds that a radar error or miscommunication could annihilate the world as we knew it. The US and the USSR thought that each other was the height of evil and had thousands of nuclear missiles aimed at each other, ready to launch in a moments notice. I recommend a movie called "the day after"..it was a pretty realistic portrayal of the tensions at the time and it scared the shit out of millions and millions of us! This song wasn't specifically about the Berlin wall, but broader ideas, that the east and the west could live together in peace. There was a music festival in the USSR that was one of the very few times they allowed Western musical acts in the country. That's why all the references to Moscow landmarks.
Evil has always been the dictatorship of The USSR and CHINA and even though their are serious corruption in the USA nothing could ever be as bad as those 2 very evil countries.
That being said- Back in the USSR is a good listen. I remember hearing this as an American and was like “I thought ussr bad!”
Must have shot through a lot of people’s ignorance
I grew up in Sweden during the 80-90's, and I remember the Cold War vividly. Mainly because we talked about risks in school, but probably mostly because of the shelter exercises in school. The threat of a nuclear war was very real, at least up to the mid 90's.
1992 wasn’t that long ago.
@@joelliebler5690 😂
I still cannot believe all these decades later I STILL get chills hearing this like the first time. Such an inspirational, devastatingly beautiful song.
This was the Scorpions' first release after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Being a German band, it was almost obligatory for the Scorps to react to that event, and they nailed it with this song. By the time this song/album was released, the old Eastern European Communist Bloc had essentially collapsed, so the song took on even greater meaning.
-JR in Miami
This song was actually written prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall but released after. Meine has stated it was inspired by glasnost in the USSR and their tour they had previously done in the USSR. But by capturing the feeling of that movement and the ending of the Cold War it obviously directly relates to the Berlin Wall as its fall was a major event leading to the collapse of the USSR.
@@joee790 Yep, Moskva and Gorky Park are in Russia.
I'm a German American who grew up during the Cold War. Learning the German language in school, we were taught the Berlin Wall as fact; it was as much a part of Germany as the grammar. So it's hard to put into words just how unbelievable it was to see people tearing it down. It was truly amazing, and we all knew we were watching history. Next Stops, Deutsche Aufgabe:
Scorpions, "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
Nena, "99 Luftballons" (Offizielles Musikvideo)
Falco, "Rock Me Amadeus," "Der Kommissar"
I love these songs that have so much history entwined in them along with Klaus Meine's voice!! A young 68-year-old (LOL) loves "Send Me An Angel !"
I'd also say Peter Schilling's Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst) would be another "must" German song from the 80's.
Extrabreit - Hurra Hurra Die Schule Brennt
And Skandal im Sperrbezirk by Spider Murphy Gang
I served at Zweibrueken and Ramstein during that time, I miss my Opel Kommadore 🚗 🥰
Usually, songs written about a particular current event gets dated as time passes and the relevance is lost. But WIND OF CHANGE has become timeless in its own way. Maybe it's because those events at the time had a big impact on my life. Whenever I hear WIND OF CHANGE, I can't help but shed a tear every time because it brings it all back...even 30+ years later.
👊🏻✌
In March 2022 I'm shedding tears as I listen to this, but not tears of happiness. The future's in the air again, but this time a future of fear and uncertainty.
@ Doug, Caught myself too, I remember seeing the images of the wall coming down, and the people's reactions, just overwhelming what they went thru and to finally have it taken down. Reagan's voice saying to Gorbachev way back when "Tear down these walls" still resonates.
@Sarco64, I couldn't agree more. It's not the people of our countrys I fear, it's the govts, Including my own.
I still get emotional over this song. Still a masterpiece and still so relevant.
The guitar solo in this song is legendary 😍
A masterpiece!!❤❤
The Scorpions didn't sing Unskinny Bop, that was Poison you were thinking of. I love this song it is definitely one of my favourites!
Although Scorpions do have Poison in their stingers.
Yes, definitely nothing alike. . .though I love them both and this is one of my favorite songs as well
I almost fell OUT when they said that.
@@loristone9242 I hear ya
Poison : ♫ Uhhhhn-skinny Bop-bop - Just blows me awayyyy, yeah ♫
Scorpions : ♫ Awwwhn-skinny Bop-bop - Just blows me a-weee, yeah ♫
Guys this song is about the fall of Communism in East Germany and they mentioned Gorky Park which is the famous park in Russia it’s a great song from when all of Eastern Europe was liberated from the Soviet union great choice guys from your history teacher Will.
That haunting whistle always gives me chills to this day, and I'm in tears by the end of the song. Every time.
Same
We need this song now more than EVER. Ukraine needs this song so much. Too.
Great choice! One of the best Scorpions songs! Based on the fall on communism and the bringing down of the Berlin Wall. I used to have a piece of the Berlin Wall (probably still at my parents house). The wind of change was the winds blowing into a new unprecented time to come... new fredoms and experiences. Also another good song with a whistle as part of the melody is Guns and Roses- Patience. That one is so good to!
Yes, they'd love Patience!
main street casino in las vegas has a large section of the wall...
We also have a piece of the Berlin Wall. Amazing times for Germany when that was pulled down.
When I was working across from a bar back at the end of the 80’s there was one band that would play outback of the bar after hours on acoustic instruments and one song they played was Patience.
I have a piece of the Wall - my sister was there a few months after the fall, and paid a dude to rent his pickaxe for 15 minutes and chop off as many pieces as she could.
As y'all already guessed, this is about the end of the Cold War, and the Scorpions are a German band. Germany, of course, was famously split into two during the Cold War, - Communist East Germany and democratic West Germany. The fall of the Berlin Wall was an important turning point at the end of the Cold War. But Russia was the sort of power center of the Communist side of the Cold War, and this song sings about a couple of specific Moscow landmarks. The Moskva is the river that runs through Moscow (Moskva in Russian), Russia, and Gorky Park is a little amusement park in Moscow, emphasis on the "little". I missed the chance to see the Scorpions live in concert in Moscow the summer of 1997 because I couldn't find anyone to go with me and it wasn't super safe for an American to be going out alone at night in Moscow (I was doing a summer study abroad there). But I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it's interesting to learn about the reunification of Germany afterward, which had its own struggles as well. I think the Scorpions writing and singing this song was a form of communal cultural healing as the Cold War came to an end.
Unfortunately they are turning into a totalitarian state once again due to their stance on Covid vaccinations among the population. History repeats itself does it not?
@@conradkostelecky7935 FFS you're being a bit dramatic don't you think? No, what am I saying, of course you don't.
Very well spoken 🕊️
@@chuckhouse5179 Read real news not the majority in the MSM is telling you. Are you aware of what is happening in Australia? No of course you aren't.
@@conradkostelecky7935 "real news?" "MSM?" Yeah you're a waste of time.
I start crying after five seconds listening to this classic song that has so much story and history in the lyrics. And the wind of change never stops blowing, there are so many places and things that need to be changed. I truly love this song. The Scorpions is just a super great band that is still active. Thanks cuties for playing this!
I'll never forget President Reagan saying, “Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall!”, and this song!!! Monumental history of my time.
This song was the Eastern Europe anthem in that time. After 1989, the entire region was in a constant change. For the good or for not that good. We were living, sensing and embracing freedom like something we never seen before. This song embodies thru lyrics and music what we all felt back then. It is still one of the most popular songs in my country- Romania.
Din păcate în rău pentru noi.
I can't think of any song in the last 2-3 centuries that captures, memorializes and immortalizes such a pivotal moment in history as well as this one does.
Ohio written by Neil Young and performed by CSN&Y also captured a moment in history very well, but it was American History. This Scorpions tune captured a moment in world history.
This song could not be more relevant in these times. After all these years I still get goosebumps when I hear it....
It's funny how as soon as the guitar solo starts that's where everybody feels the music, very strong passionate sound that literally pierces your heart
I remember when this song dominated the airwaves back in the day. It was played and played and played. So beautiful and deep. Scorpions outdid themselves.
Being 45, I'm old enough to truly remember a world where the USSR was a strong threat to the US, there were two German nations, MTV played videos, and seeing the world change before your eyes. The Tiananmen Square Massacre was only 2 years earlier. Rock-n-Roll and blue jeans changed the world.
I am 70 and saw how rock changed the world during the Vietnam War, the "hippie" movement and women's liberation.
@Michael Plowman I am a year younger than you but I remember vividly in middle school social studies class being required to learn about the types and effects of atom bombs and what the would would be like afterword (photocopied sheets of paper with diagrams of blast zone sizes and military resource comparisons stand out in my memory).
It is hard to explain to kids today how there was a national/global depression while living during those cold war years and how it was healed when the wall, and then the USSR fell. Those post-USSR/pre-Putin and crime bosses years were hopeful. We in the west should have done so much more to welcome our brothers and sisters to a life full of possibilities before self-determination and freedom were taken off of the table by criminals and thugs.
@@KevinSchmitt77 I'm just a few years older than you. I remember the same things back then. Our school system actually had nuclear missile drills that we practiced a couple times throughout the school year. Much like alot of schools run Tornado drills. Definitely was a scarier and heavier time.
Yes. The World map had East Germany and West Germany as SEPARATE countries back then.
I remember doing nuclear bomb drills in school once a year.
Tiananam square was in April of 1989. Berlin wall November
There is a reason this video is in the ONE BILLION views club
Tear down this wall. Greatest speech of the eighties. Great reaction to Great song
Very profound song and definitely displays the incredible vocals of Klaus Meine!!
Klaus is a seriously underrated talent.
indeed, Klaus is a treasure!
@@jonathangeraldrobinson720 yes he is very underrated!
The wind of change that was blowing was the fall of Soviet Union, and Rob you are right, the fall of the Berlin Wall. The song became the unofficial anthem for the German Reunification! And Scorpuons are a German band. So when they played in Russia they felt that “ wind of change”!!
This song still brings that feeling back to me after all of this time. Such a powerful ballad
This song always brings tears to my eyes. Such an incredible moment in history captured forever.🙏🏻
Whoops! Unskinny Bop was Poison!! But thats all good, you guys are alot of fun to watch videos and listen to music with!!!!! 👍👍👍🇨🇦
whew.... so glad you said it.... LOL
My thoughts exactly Felicia 😆 I'm glad Everyone didn't spam wrong band lol
@@shawnbond6676 picture Bret Michaels trying to whistle...... LMAO
I had to quit my job because i started beefing it with 50 year old mfs.. and I’m 21, i spend most of my time smoking weed on my RUclips channel now, meanwhile i get back to the hustle 🤦♂️
@@GranFelicia that's hilarious
One of the best selling singles of all time(14 million plus copies) . The biggest from a German artist.
Unskinny Bop was Poison. You did No One Like You and Still Loving You from them.
You have probably heard their song Rock You Like A Hurricane at sporting events.
This song is still 1 of my favorites by Scorpion. I remember that wall coming down.
I was stationed in Germany in the mid to late 80s and remember always being aware of our surroundings Going to the Czech border was surreal being photographed by the Czech and Russian soldiers. There are a few images in this video of the Gulf war which I was in so this song and video does hit home that myself and millions of others were part of this history
Seen Scorpions live in Concert in Billings Montana. Lead singer is awesome. And Unskinny bop is Brett Michaels and Poison. Just FYI. Love you guys. Check out Scorpions “ Tease me Please me”!! Rob you will love this song!!
The Scorpions are great in concert. When I saw them the whole crowd sang Holiday with them.
Great reaction to this great German band! Side note: "Unskinny Bop" is by the band Poison.
This song gives me goosebumps every time and has such meaning!
This song is THE hymn to the fall of the iron curtain/ the German Wall.
Although it wasn’t written for this, it is forever connected to them.
Greetz from Germany.
I graduated from high school in 1990. This song, along with “Right Here, Right Now”, by Jesus Jones fully capture the, perhaps unreasonable, hope we felt at the time that the world was changing for the better and we were heading into a brighter future.
Almost seems naive now.
That with "We Are The World" and "Band-Aid" a few yrs earlier, today's generations may never understand the hi vibes we had.
I graduated in 1990 also so I’m there with you
Worked for a little while. If you ask me, the 1990s were the peak of our civilization. Started going to shit after 2001.
Those two songs were basically the epilogue for the book of the 80s. The world was so much different in 1990 than 1980.
The threat of nuclear war was over. The two biggest powers were shaking hands instead of fists. For the first time in 80 years there were less people living under communism when the decade ended than when. It began. And wall that trapped an entire population in for over 25 years came down.
Everyone hoped and dreamed the Cold War would end. Very few believed it would though.
I’ve got a chunk of the Berlin Wall. It’s just concrete with spray paint on it, about the size of a baseball, but it means so much more. A physical piece of history and how things changed for the better. We need more of that, instead of “history repeating itself.”
Always loved this song too. So well written.
This song was every hope and dream of our generation. The end of the Wall was so HUGE. You had to be there. We had so much hope for a better future.
Ahhh, 80's power ballads. This is the epitome of that sound. These guys worked so hard through the 80's, seemed like every time I went to a show with more than 3 bands, Scorpions were one of them.
I prefer their earlier stuff, butnifni gotta power ballad.. gimme Scorpions.
My dad even liked Klaus' performance at the US Festival in 82. He hates most rock singers, but recognized Kalus' ability to sing through his power voice without screaming.
One of their early members went on to solo fame after a slight name change, going from Ulrich Roth to Uli Jon Roth and becoming one of the pioneers of neo-classical rock/metal. Definitely recommend anything by him, or any earlier Scorpions music.
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Klause Meine , is Scorpions lead singer. His voice is hypnotic!!
One of my favorite Scorpions songs!!
I saw Scorpions in 1988 at the Monsters of Rock concert.They killed their set,along with a few other topnotch bands,Van Halen,Dokken,and Metallica!Let's just say it was an all day event!🤘
Wow. To be reminded of such momentous events, to have those memories brought back by such an emotive song puts a lump in my throat.
Around this time there was a some from Queensryche called "silent lucidity". I think you'd really enjoy it.
Ohh!! That’s a GREAT song
Silent Lucidity is a stunning song. I would love to see a reaction to it.
One of my all time favorites 😍
YES!!!
The whole album Empire by Queensryche is amazing, every song is great.
This song is off the Scorpion's album "Crazy World". I'm looking at my CD right now! Other good songs off this album are Tease Me, Please Me and Send Me an Angel. Yes, this was a truly iconic song of that time period. But still resonates today.
Love the Scorpions. You guys are awesome. Thx
what a aweome anthem of unity ,oh i remember this like yesterday .
My opinion is this is one of the greatest songs ever!!!
This video reminds me of the Billy Joel song "we didn't start the fire". The images flash by fast enough that it's really easy to miss the symbolic references.
Check out "Send me an Angel" also. And "Rock You Like a Hurricane".
send me an angel is their best song :D agreed
She feels the passion of the song... awesome
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤️
This is crazy! Like 3 hours ago I heard this song on the bus, going home after Xmas trip. Recognized it, had to look it up. Felt it was a message. Now this reaction pops up. Feel the Universe trying to really make me get the message 😄😍 Thank you for great reactions!
Try not crossing out the Christ in Christmas (Xmas ---> you crossing out Christ from the holiday?). And don't vote for the people who made the Berlin Wall exist.
There's at least 2 reasons why you got this message.
I was in high school when the wall came down…I remember seeing it on the news, and people were dancing in the streets, I remember families running through when part of it came down, and families were crying, and holding each other….people all over the world were glued to their tvs.
I was in 8th grade. I remember watching it live and even at the age I knew I was seeing history. Probably the most world altering event in my lifetime, at least until 9/11.
SCORPIONS are such awesome band one of my favorites ❤
Was stationed in Germany - served in the Middle East during Desert Storm - & this song brings up so much emotion whenever I hear it - to have been there at that time in history…Tears…just…tears…
I get goosebumps when I hear this song.
It seems like yesterday when the Berlin Wall was torn down. So monumental and this is a great song.
Showing my age but I was stationed as part of the British n.a.t.o, a year later the fall fell my heart burst that day love over war.
I served 2 tours of combat.
This, song spent many nights with me.
I've been a Fan of the Scorpions, since day one.
I'd respectfully, would be honored, to thank them for helping me get through my years of... turmoil.
This song was written about the fall of the Soviet union. Shortly after this song came out, many western hard rock acts played a concert in russia.
I love Scorpions. This and The Zoo are my favorites. Rock Me like a Hurricane is also great.
The Zoo is a kick ass song and I wish they would do a Reaction video to it
Much of the scorpion's music is quite beautiful. Deep meaning. Very good you feel in the soul which is not usual this music type for my culture but very touching spiritually. I enjoy watching you kids and your channel and wish you many blessings.
I was a german kid at the beginning of the 90s and this was the song of my generation. Still hits me every time!
Oh, man, I love this song. Indeed, I love most Scorpions. Your next one absolutely, positively HAS to be "The Zoo". The riff in that song is easily one of the best and most kick-ass of all time. Other must-listens are "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "Big City Nights", "Send Me an Angel", and "Hit Between the Eyes". P.S. "Unskinny Bop" was Poison. So far for the Scorpions you've done this, "No One Like You", and "Still Loving You."
Agree, The Zoo was my all time favorite Scorpions song. Love the bass line.
Such a great song and Scorpions are amazing live in concert..
Lol Unskinny bop was not scorpions… It was poison who sang it
I’m not sure why but this song always moves me to tears.
My favorite Scorpions song. Very emotional and sends shivers down my spine.
Try listening to Terence Trent D'Arby singing "Wishing Well". Soul, Pop & Funk from 1987. Sananda Maitreya (born Terence Trent Howard), started his career with the stage name Terence Trent D'Arby...that's how we knew him back in 1987. When looking for this video, you might want to look for Sananda Maitreya singing "Wishing Well"...he has again changed his name and it's hard to find an official video with his stage name from back in the day.
So more Scorpions for your consideration: “Can’t Live Without You”
“No One Like You”
Also if y’all are looking for more Aerosmith, a song that simultaneously showcases the band’s grand orchestration and Steven Tyler’s vocal range, that song is “You See Me Crying.”
"You See Me Crying" is a great recommendation for some old school, deep cut slow Aerosmith songs along with "Home Tonight" and "Kings and Queens".
yes another great beautiful awesome fn song from scorpions you guys are going to love. I love this song .such a great band.
This is one of my top 10 songs of all time, absolutely love Wind of Change!
They wrote this the night the Berlin wall started to go down. Being West Germans ,pretty much all of them had relatives in E. Germany they'd never seen or met. I never thought I'd live long enough to see that happen. 🤠
This was written about the same time the Berlin Wall came down. "Wind of Change".
That's what the song is about I think
Scorpions rock and the best rock ballads ever.......and i was shocked in concert he does the whistle perfect
Timeless classic. Young or old, you can't dislike this song.
For those of us who grew up under the shadow of the mushroom cloud, who had 2 Germany's on our map...this song is power, such changes
Alright, more Scorpions! I think "Rock You Like A Hurricane" was their biggest hit, though I personally like "Still Loving You" better, but you've already done "Still Loving You". "Rock You Like A Hurricane" should be your next Scorpions song.
The whistling in this song brings to mind Bob Sinclair's wonderful song, "World Hold On."
I played this song a lot my senior year in college back in 1991-92.. great song.
Listen to their classic Hit....ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE.
Pretty much a one hit wonder here in the UK with this amazing song. "Unskinny Bop" is not by them. The fall of the Berlin Wall is a huge moment in history.
Much love from England 🏴
Some Hallmark moments in history that shook the world. It always brings a happy tear to my eyes listening to this song and view the actual clips. Great reaction you two. 2 thumbs up!
Watching that wall come down back then was incredible!!!! This song still takes me back to that feeling.
I seen Scorpions 17 times so far and Klaus Meine has such an incredible voice! Hopefully I'll see them again a couple more times!!! ❤
Hearing this song brings me instantly back to the time when the USSR fell and my country among the others got their freedom back. I was 10 when it all happened but the song remains very popular among our generation even today. It’s such a good song.
This is my fav cold war, or better yet, end of the cold war song, inspired by the fall of the wall and the inevitable break up of the Soviet Union. The passion they put into the song is the same passion felt when East & West Germany was reunited, a time I will never forget. Its also a message of peace that will inspire for decades. Another cold war song by the group After The Fire - “Der Kommissar was about Berlin 1982.
You two are just so lovely. And you get this song so well. I was in my 20's when that wall came down, and it was on my birthday. What a great gift to see people free. Seeing that made my year. Hard to think anyone could treat people so inhumanly. We the people need to run the world, not the evil politicians!
Chills down my spine and goosebumps when hearing this especially the whistle
I'm sure someone must have already mentioned this, but just in case..... "Unskinny Bop", mentioned by Rob in the beginning of the video, is by Poison, an American band with Brett Micheals and all his blonde hair singing away. "Winds of Change" is by Scorpions, a band originally from East Germany who were not only very popular in the U.S. in the late 80's and early 90's, but also all across Europe.
Scorpions was the very first concert I ever went to as a teenager. I'm 48 now, but I still remember seeing them in concert and how amazing it was.
Yeah, "Winds of Change" is by a great band. "Unskinny Bop is by" a SHIT band!!!
Watching the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany and the fall of the U.S.S.R. were seminal moments in my living memory. The easing of east vs. west tensions and the continual cloud of potential nuclear war cannot be understood unless you lived or grew up during that time.
When this song came out, if you didn't cry when you heard it for the first time, you had no soul!
Scorpions Anthem.
Awesome, I got to see them in Seattle 1983, they sound just like this live, always been a fan of theirs, I been seeing many of the post, because you do alot the songs I grow up with in the 80's music and videos. like your two reactions.
This is an emotional song for me because I lived through the Cold War with the Soviet Unions. This song is about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Unification of Germany. It was emotional seeing East Germans gaining their freedom.
“Wind of Change” was about neither the Berlin Wall nor their German homeland. Rather, its origins trace to the former Soviet Union, and specifically the Moscow Music Peace Festival, a two-day “hard-rock Woodstock” staged in August 1989, in the city’s 100,000-seat Lenin Stadium. The event, which saw the Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Cinderella and Skid Row perform alongside homegrown bands like Gorky Park and Brigada-S, marked the first time Western heavy-metal acts had been permitted to play in the Soviet capital. Broadcast in dozens of countries and on MTV in America, the festival was a triumph (if not without drama behind the scenes), and it inspired Meine, who had grown up in the looming shadow of the Iron Curtain, to begin writing “Wind of Change.”
Thanks, I had the intend to write this, now I don't have to :-)
not according to the band and Klaus, but ok
@@theresapaez513 Maybe the time since then changed their memories? I saw a documentation on Austrian TV ORF (before the fall of the wall in Berlin) about that rock festival in Moscow and an interview with someone from the band (I don't remember who) who explained, that they wrote a song about that feeling of change that was present all over the festival. And that winds of change represent that feeling they had during that time in Moscow.
I love Klaus Meine. He's just so awesome.
