Scorpions - Wind Of Change Reaction | Scorpions Reaction 

1991 is the year Soviet union fell and the Berlin wall came down. Family's separated for50 year's were able to be together again. The fall of communism is something the scorpions understand well being from Germany.

The song is about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the hope for a better change and a better future.

This song was recorded just before the fall of the Berlin wall (and the video just after), and it really did capture the unprecedented sense of hope, felt across the entire world (save perhaps for soviet politicians, lol). But everyone else... this was one of the most profound moments of the 20th century. I think that's one of the biggest generational gaps in modern society, people who remember the wall coming down, and those who came after. The whole world changed. It's hard for people who weren't around then to understand just how impactful that was. But songs like this can give you a little taste of that. And for those who were there, it just pulls you back to that incredible moment. This is really an anthem. It wasn't written as one, but that's what it became.

I remember the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989.

Hi Olavity. Yes it's a political song but absolutely love it, it's beautiful and brilliant .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💋💋💋💋💋💋♥️♥️💙💙💗💗💗

This is a commentary on the state of the world just prior to and as the Berlin Wall came down 33 years ago. My father's first tour of duty in the Army was in West Berlin during the Airlift in 1949, before the wall went up.

As always, a great reaction

Awesome song and I love the Scorpions 💕

Good song to listen to. Scorpions I Was Born To Touch Your Feelings

A Great song indeed,but.....again....so much war...terrible....

Hello, Fam, from this old, longhaired rocker dude in the mountains of East Tennessee. U.S.A.

I was there for this music video on MTV, back in the day after the 80's decades end. So many changes that year. Thank you, my lady. Such a wicked killer song from a powerful group of artists from Germany (West Germany, then). Cool little number right here. It really puts me right back in that special place and time in my life. Was a 1960's baby. A kid in the 70's. Came of age in the 1980's. As part of Gen X I witnessed the Change as the world woke up from the decades long cold war as the U.S.S.R. fell and was dissolved. What a magical time when East and West Germany were reunited once again. Thanks, girlfriend for this little reminder of yesterday.. WE LOVE YOU. Take it easy. See ya on the next. Peace. Later

I saw them in their Word Tour in july 16th, at Madrid (Wizink Center). I still vibing as hell with them. When you see the energy who shows Klaus Meine with 76 years old, or Matthias Jabs with 68... you cannot put any excuses in your life about be tired haha. They´re ROCK LEGENDS. This song is an anthem against the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. Epic and legendary.

Hello fellow Scorpio November 3rd here. I also love the scorpions. This video was about the wall coming down in Berlin, and basically the end of the Cold war between Russia and the West. This was very monumental in history.

Still loving you is a very good one also!!❤❤

Gorky Park is in Berlin. Scorpions are from Germany, and the song is about fall of the Berlin Wall.

If you were alive in those times like myself, 25 at the time it was almost surreal watching the wall come down. We all thought the world had changed for the better, the world felt it. Sadly look where we are now.

LOVE IT!

Hi beautiful check out Rock you like a hurricane, The Zoo, tease me please me big city nights Bad boys running wild, black out, Alien Nation, Peacemaker can go all day listening to great songs by them

I remember when it was released, I was finishing high schools & I experienced all these images live during the summer of 1989, all these dictatorships falling like dominoes, one after the other, and the fall of the Berlin wall after the summer. What an experience to see all of that--& hope for a better life for all these newly freed people. and 2 years later, the old Soviet Union finally blew up, freeing russian prople from 80 years long dctatorship. This song is still relevant in 2024, with the current world events (wars in Ukraine & Gaza). Here's a little 12 minutes video for you, if you're interested tu understand what this song was really about: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FqnCxZ2Z1w0.html It's not a request for a reaction, it's only for you to understand what motivated Scorpions to write this song (you'll even see some of the same images used in the Scorpions video. Great reaction & Have a nice day. Awaiting for your next video, as usual.

Well, that was that... *"The End of History"* according to Fukuyama, but, well, that's done, we're back to great power games, ready to once more set the world on fire arranged in alliances, just some with some variations - this song is pretty much a period piece and a snapshot of hope of the early 90s / late 80s when it seemed to be the the start of a better time (hence Fukuyama) and now we're back to a scenario very close to the ante-bellum ~1900 to 1914 - just that this time it's nuclear tipped... Let's sip on a nice Depresso... 😆 Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

The German band Scorpions has many fans in Russia, at the beginning of the 90s everyone had hope for better times. With the fall of the wall in Berlin. The relationships today are probably destroyed for a long time.

I love you I like how you transmit your feelings through your reaction keep looking for more of the scorpions it's the best band Greetings and kisses from Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🙌🙌🤗🤗🥰🥰 😘😘

1991 I was kid 11 years old and was on vacation in Greece.. Heard this song on radio in one restaurant 😊😊😊since then listen almost every day

The song captures the spirit of hope that was prevalent in 1991 at the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union. Everybody was positive and had hope for a better future. The 90ies would become a decade of progress and hope for many. This was only ended with the 9/11 attacks on the WTC in 2001, which lead to The wars in Irak and Afghanistan against Al-Qaida and Bin Laden and the Taliban. The world has stagnated in the first decade (under GWBush) and the financial crisis in 2008 did the rest. The last 25 years have been somewhat of a sideways movement, but at the early nineties there was a spirit of hope for a better world and a „Wind of Change“. Unfortunately this hope has only partly materialized and Climate Change and migration problems as a result of new wars have posed new challenges and reality has turned less bright than everybody had hoped for in the early 90ies…

Great reaction. When you said, "Ohh, it's about War." you were close. It's about Peace.

Since you mentioned bad ass, check out the album cover of Love at First Sting.

The very first time I heard this was while watching a Filipino cover band in Singapore. They nailed it, (including the whistle) I had been at sea so didn't get to hear it before that. I LOVE the Scorpions. I rock with them, but this my favorite song. 10/03/2017 Grand Sierra Resort Reno🤩🤩

Can u PLEASE react Heart of Steel by crimson Glory there's a lyric video on RU-vid please!

Klaus Meine (vocals) of Scorpions said the band's experience of playing concerts in Russia (the USSR in 1988), where rock music had been banned just 20 years prior... And for a German rock band to have thousands of Russian fans showed the power of music to heal the past aggressions between countries, since nazi Germany in the 1940's invaded Russia w/ tanks during World War II and killed half their population... And 50 years later, a German band like the Scorpions became a sensation in Russia. In 1989, Scorpions returned to play the Moscow Peace festival w/ Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Cinderella, and Skid Row. Klaus even shouted out their opening band Gorky Park from that tour in the lyrics. I believe Klaus wrote 'Wind of change' as a message of hope & unity ... Germany was divided between East and West since the 1940's by the Berlin wall... and in 1990, Germany reunited as one and the Berlin wall fell - something few could have predicted would happen in their lifetimes. He wasn't overly optimistic - the album in 1990 was called 'Crazy World' but Scorpions have always been about uniting the people of the world w/ rock music... Their first tour outside of Europe was in Japan in 1978... Their first tour of N. America was in 1979. Scorpions have played Australia, S. America, the Middle East, South East Asia, etc. Anywhere they could tour and build a fanbase. Klaus wrote a follow-up Scorpions single in 1993 against war and conflicts - 'Under the same Sun'... but it didn't have the same commercial impact in the 90's when bands like Scorpions were dismissed in favor of grunge and alternative rock bands.

Nice reaction. this band is so good. They have everything from psychedelic slow songs like " yellow haven" to heavy like " rock you like a hurricane". It's hard to find one "we" don't like about them. For you I will recommend " you and I " for now 😌.

The Scorpions are an awesome band, been a fan since Lonesome Crow came out in 1970. They have had a few personnel changes but always sound like the Scorpions and there is a reason some of their songs nave a billion views. Since you have heard a couple famous ballads of theirs, time for you to rock out, try Loving You Sunday Morning, another great tune you would love. They have decades worth of bangers to react to, lucky you! I hear you on war, there always is one or more going on and sadly looks like mankind has aways to evolve past it, so sad. If you have never heard Black Sabbath's War Pigs, you really should, please listen to the original audio only and concentrate on the lyrics, the video for it is distracting from one of the best anti war songs ever. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥

I enjoy the sincerity behind your music reviews! You are one of the most pleasant to watch on RU-vid. I recommend that you do a music video review of "Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms.

Hello dear Olavity! Greetings from Germany. Keep it up..❤✌

First 😃

My oma and opa ( grandparents) immigrants from East Germany saw the Berlin Wall come down before they came to America and they told me stories of their hardships. I have a small piece of concrete from the wall to this day, my Opa gave me. Everytime I hear this song I remember them. I miss you Oma and Opa 💔😢

I've seen three Eastern European and Russian reactors brought to tears watching this video.

The sad thing is at the time this was a hopeful song, it felt like freedom was finally spreading around the world, but now it feels like we are taking steps backward.

Oh that day in November when that most-hated wall came down. I watched it live. and to this day makes me tear up. :)

I still get choked up about this song & video 😞 it brought so much hope to a world that was in so much turmoil...too bad it didn't change the world enough 😞

If you love his voice and the guitar solo, you should listen to "Still loving you". ^^

I don't know if it's just me, but, I love watching your reactions. Almost to the point of making the music unimportant. Well... almost. Thank you and keep up the good work.

If you liked Scorpions I recommend you listen to Lady Starlight (studio version). Greetings from Italy!

It brings a tear to one's eyes in just how little humanity has come in regards to how we treat one another.

There is a wonderful live version of this in Greece where Morten Harket from the band Aha joins them. Well worth a reaction...

You need to hear the other side of the Scorpions to cover all fans. #TheZoo #RockYouLikeAHurricane #Blackout #Holiday

💖💖🙌🙌👏👏👋👋🔥🔥

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war was a good thing ......not a sad thing

I am so glad I grew up during the 80's 90's

We were all hoping a better world, but it's a worst one

A massive moment in history!

He always sounds so good

Yeah! Glasnost e Perestroika.

Fellow Scorpio 😊
