SCORPIONS <3

[Tsakalos21100]

Gamato !!!!!!!

[NixxerJixxerWixxer]

One of the most 'Perfect' Rock Ballads ever written, They Lyrics and the Melody really gets into you

[guitarlawyer75]

I saw them twice (2008 and 2010) and they were always fantastic.

[beroth77]

mathias really learned every note of uli's solo in this song it seems...showing what he get in the band for.but uli is much better by far anyway

[yellowraven8]

POWER BALLAD MASTERS !! cool to hear Matthias play the Uli Roth parts ;)

[TheScorps3]

lovin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AsphyxGr]

metal sounding guitars full of feelings ...

[vallisoletano34]

E X C E L E N T E FOREVER SCORPIONS

[Tsakalos21100]

yeah scorpions at their best !!

[chroniclerofthe70s]

THE TEUTONIC GODS OF RAW POWER BALLADS

[danpolicarpo]

Rudy is a hell of a lead player.

[ildiscorpions]

Hi Kevin! Thanks for the sharing! The best song ever!!!!

[ildiscorpions]

This song is simply fantastic, the heaven for me, forever! The best song of the Scorpions forever!!!! The Guitar harmony between Rudolf and Matthias is awesome! I love it with all my heart!

[detectivelfg]

Thanks For This Beautifull Video..Save It Carefully..This Is Richness

[porsimepierdo]

the guitar is amazing, great song, great band I can´t believe they are thinking separate the band

[slingshot94]

Takin By Force is really the ultimate album... And it has the best production of the classic original heavy metal sound. Scorps and Priest in the 70's is just plain sick. The tone of the guitars is orgasmic.

[Mau665VB]

GREAT GUITARS BEUTIFUL

[ishak681]

love to hear the lyric

[SabbraCadabra789]

THANKS!

[jbowling74]

This band is so good it is ridiculous. Somehow they get lumped behing Zeppelin, mettalica, Ac/DC and others but I dont see it. They are the greatest "ROCK' band, and yes for me better than the Stones. The ballads are insane, versatility, styles and consistency for an insane number of years. Simply unbelievable band they will be missed. From Lonsome crow to Sting in the Tail.

The consistency and quality of writing cannot be rivaled. NO Discog holds a candle to them

The GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER!

[SuperArschloch3000]

@jbowling74 YOU SAY IT BUDDY metallica is way to overrated ac/dc good band led zepp and deep purple are legends with SCORPIONS

[L0stH0riz0n21]

@SuperArschloch3000 ac/dc is one of the most overated band ever.

[coolengine2000]

@L0stH0riz0n21 yes i guess so but some songs are great too specially the early albums are pretty great the new stuff i dont no.just money making mainstream shid.good old school rock like in the sixties and seventies and earlier eighties is unbeatable

[Yorcen]

@L0stH0riz0n21 definitely!...

[JonatanCordeiro]

matthias jabs tocou a musica que foi gravada com uli roth,isso é incrivel,matthias jabs,pra mim,é um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo,toca muito!!!!!!!o foi D MAIS o solo que ele tirou,MT BOM!!!!!!!!!

[ildiscorpions]

Diese Guitar-Harmonie zwischen Matthias und Rudolf ist einfach fantastisch!

[MrCere]

Excellent. It does make one wish the band still used its whole catalog.

[greggynite]

i couldnt believe they could play it without uli

[MrTephama]

yeah In Trance is the overall best album

[TubeFreakJonas]

Wow, what happened to all this classic early material we never hear anymore?

Good stuff! :)

[chlaimerdu67]

EXTRAORDINARY !!!!!!

[OREN2465]

What an amazing version is amazing in my life the first time I hear it

Today i'm going to see them in TEL-AVIV

[ROCKERWORLD1]

tja, die jungs vom hanno........spitze

[ildiscorpions]

@ROCKERWORLD1 Ja, sie sind einfach Spitze! Forever Scorpions!

[ildiscorpions]

The Best Song of the Best!!!!!!

[yellowraven8]

WHAT AN AMAZING SCORPIONS DREAM FANTASY!!!!

[reginagiovanini]

I love this song!

Because the spirit of rock will never die!!

[Osmael2009]

Música linda!!!!!! Scorpions é perfeito!

[Moonhaksan]

By and large,,, in fact, having the most pure and good minded generation in our current time ought to be credited to the living era 70's-80',,,,,regardless of whether persons came from the East or West, evern North or South---this generation has the ancient Greek's universe soul that to be reach to telos,,, you can see this fact,,,especially when you listening to like Scorpions Music---!!

[413Kristianna]

Great guitar and beautiful vocals!

Awesome song!!

[hiwattcarl]

From the In Trance album... great album with some exquisite harmonizing from Roth.

Here Mathias and Rudy do an awesome job together. Like fine wine. Do take note because guitar playing like that is no longer seen and heard.

[ildiscorpions]

This song is the heaven!

[JizumChrust]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[ildiscorpions]

Man bekommt Gänsehaut!

[TheMrSabbath1]

great song but i prefer ROTH !

[Andreshogou]

.....it's not Uli here, but he composed the lead guitar to these song !!!

[f8e20fm1]

this live version is better than the studio version.

great guitar lead here of Matthias Jabbs.

Klaus Maine's powerful voice too.

the band already on it's 13th.years in this concert.

[rusputtin17]

a beautiful melodic metal track!

[MrCloski]

HELLO PEEPS! That's NOT Uli. this just after he left.

[gabrielbat]

Uli Jon is amazing. Love his work in this album.

[Fikmonskov]

I don't think Uli ever played on Gibson Explorer...

[Fikmonskov]

This is Matthias :)

[eddiebeto1992]

esta cancion es genial!

[kyopsis]

This is Rock as i love old school Rock forever!

Powerful song & awesome live!

[clojuarez]

[GuitarsMatrix]

[JesuChristSuperstar1]

otro pedo /../

[davinci0524]

Brutal!!!

[kienvan09]

this is one of my favorite Scorpions' songs. I love it so much.

[ildiscorpions]

It's a pleasure for me! Thanks, Scorpions!

[6Stargazer]

this video proves how strong and magical the voice of Klaus Meine. I really devoted to his voice in this song. The aura is so strong...

[feavey]

Beautiful !!!

[Fassardi]

This is magic!! i love this song they rules but for me li Jon Roth is better so far

[ildiscorpions]

Es ist fantastisch, zwischen Rudolf und Matthias! Welch eine Harmonie!

[Telesazer]

This 70's material is sooooo cool to be found here!! Never knew it even existed. Magical songs by Scorps!

[TheRisingforce2000]

its a cryin shame this video is of very poor quality

[gogon2]

awesome song, absolutely beautiful, just as the whole In Trance, Lovedrive, Blackout, and Love at First Sting albums

[ildiscorpions]

Life's like a river - great song, sexy Klaus, dream of mädchen of all the world.

[tasinhoschenker]

Great guitar harmony between Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs!

[ildiscorpions]

@tasinhoschenker Yes!!!!!

[ildiscorpions]

@tasinhoschenker Yessss!

[Zingerola]

@ildiscorpions yezzzz!

[singler1]

I love this song and the In Trance album. I think it's close to the best, along with Blackout

[stigmapanos1]

@singler1 FOR ME LOVE AT FIRST STING,FLY TO THE RAINBOW ALONG WITH VIRGIN KILLER AND STING IN THE TAIL ARE THE BEST...BUT THE MATTER IS THAT EVERY SINGLE ALBUM IS TOP

[ivalop81]

Life like a river, in the morning!!!, que buen grupo, hasta hoy en día no encontre un mejor vocalista que Klaus Meine..

[mateusromanp]

This song is awesome. The solos and the chorus are mind-blowing. And I love the bass lines.

[cunagua]

this song was written by Uli Jon Roth, Mathias gives a nice twist on the solo, he's a great guitar player...

Many many thanx cuLveN for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cunagua]

the tune is from In Trance previous of Virgin Killer

[alwaysopen]

It's wild that they did this tune but it is one of my fav's off Virgin Killer.

Schenker is responsible for most of the riffs and Jabs goes nuts on lead.

Roth wrote a few tunes.

Shchenker plays lead solos on tunes you wouldn't think he did.

Brother Mike played the solo for Lovedrive.

[bessadale]

Just a correction, this song is from the 1975 album In Trance.

[matthiasjabsforever]

my favorite band in the whole world

they are perfect

[murilobadeol]

the best

[dOndAvIs630]

this is my dad's favorite song.

[L0stH0riz0n21]

its gonna be mine too when i get old.

[tasinhoschenker]

Yeah that's right,Rudolf doesn't write Matthias' solos,Matthias matches his solos on Rudolf's music!

[kramerxl]

I wish they would composed more songs like this so that Scorpions will have twin lead guitarist like Iron Maiden & Helloween.

[matthias100]

woow klause got the best voice ever

[trompetao]

OMG, i never tought that Rudy could play that fast solo with Matthias, thats really impressive from Rudy.

thx for the great and rare video

[matthias100]

rudy is a good rythm guitarest, and he can compose a solo better than yngwie malmsteen.

[trompetao]

noo man, hes my favorite musician, but we have to confess that he cant do that.

Hes a good guitar player not great,but he doesnt have to be better coz hes got Matthias as lead guitarist wich is GREAT, and together they rock. thx for comment. SCORPIONS ROCKS

[matthias100]

yes i understand , i know rudy is a rythm guitar , and m huge fan of matthias, he inspired me to play guitar, but i want to say is that rudy can compose good solos, the questions is not to play fast , but how to hit it

[trompetao]

yeah, i got u, hes really an amazing composer

[kingofthedeep]

Rudy does the solo for Still Loving You. A quality solo. Also when Uli Roth was in the band, they at times harmonized pieces/parts of songs. Ever hear Night Lights. Check it. Killer instrumental. Type in Scorpions Night Lights. (album version)

[trompetao]

ure right, Still Loving You solo is awesome. i've heard night lights and (i dont like that song very much), but theres some nice parts with the 2 guitars making the solo.

thx for comment.

[marc93700]

Lot of times there are guitarists who don't show all their technics.

Don't you know that the guitarist of Sepultura can play brazilian style on acoustic guitar?

[trompetao]

youre right, but u have to confess that sometimes some (especialy rhythm) guitarists really impress us.

thx for comment.

[tasinhoschenker]

i've seen Rudy backstage,he can play a lot faster than Scorpions songs...Imagine who fast could make it in the 70's or the 80's!

[SailsOfSharon]

Well, of course, he can play brazilian style,  because sepultura is from brazil!!!!!!!!

[phelp18]

los mejores. sin duda.

[0xym0r0nized]

That's amazing, must have been only a couple of weeks after Jabs joined because he seems to be copying Uli Roth note by note. Pretty amazing that he's capable of doing that though ...

[1lhotstuff]

uli already left the band! Michael was in the band & left! so there was Jabs! personly myself i love all 3 of them! i wish there all in the band!!

[413Kristianna]

@0xym0r0nized matthias is very underrated... he's a great guitar player... i'm not saying he's as good as roth but stil he's a monster guitarist!

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@413Kristianna I have to say Mathias and Frances are kicking some serious butt on this song, amazing.

[nataliadelcarmen71]

Wooow!!! Where did you find this?? It's great!!!

[ibsi2]

great song

[smithdsmit]

thats not schenker its mathias jabbs. Though schenker did play on half of the love drive albums songs.I guess he was drinking really heavy and kinda quit/got fired.He stopped showing up for practices and alot of times when he did show he was really drunk.but it worked out because he formed msg and both bands moved on and made great rock music

[restlessbreed10]

dude the only tracks released with micheal on lead was lovedrive and another peice of meat.

[kingofthedeep]

He played on Coast to Coast as well

[klausschenker]

great, great, great ! ! !

[longypollo]

rudy rocks! he made it to be the best composer

scorpions forever

[longypollo]

and rudy too :P

[longypollo]

fucking greats solos michael schenker rocks!!

[heno2006]

i need this song in record now.... awesome fucking voice KLUSE :....)

[kingofthedeep]

70's Scorpions and UFO

The best two underrated hard rock groups of all time

[kyopsis]

ouaou superbe...

[valnik89]

Go back to 1969 and live from that time on.

[mikol2007]

Oh good old memories!!

[DanyWoo]

Scorpions Rock ffs!

[ilicsasa]

Where did you find this great video, and where I can find it?

[rickyscorpions]

i found it on emule....

the entire concert

[MySexyVids]

if i could go back in time i would be at a few scorpions concerts for sure

[BrQQQr]

I just adore this one!!!Thanx very much for this song and such rare video!

[jujumontauban]

For me, Uli is one of the best guitar player ever, in the same way than Jimmy Page. Mathias is really underated, but he's not better than another.

[valnik89]

They choosed him among 150 guitarists... he must have some skill ;P

[rickyscorpions]

this is a rare video

[HardRockLover]

He should get more respect!

[beeb1421]

you are so right!

matthias is the most underated guitarist around!

scorps kick ass.

[HardRockLover]

i have both Fly To The Rainbow and Top Of The Bill... i got em from Dc++

[vtmishka]

Can you tell me if your copy has Fly To The Rainbow and Top Of The Bill? The copy I have only has 6 songs.

Can you also tell me where you got it?

Thanks.

[iandrio]

Heroic days, won't you think?

[mikol2007]

Ohh Good old Memories!!!

[batang2007]

wow!almost 20 years,what a nostalgic momment!

[istmiene]

Thank you who ever posted this video, totally awesome!!! :D

[Airakobra]

Great *-*

[kingofthedeep]

A little Warbly yes, but hell it is old shit, and it does straighten up,great band, rare footage, 10 out if 10 all the way!!!

[hippisteve]

A little Warbly~

[traitor4732]

wow awesome!!

[urtubemytoo]

Awesome song! Scorpions touring Japan in 1979 featuring a young Mathias Jabs filling in nicely...amazing guitarist and a rockin' band! Does anyone have the complete DVD/CD of this concert or Tokyo Tapes?

[kingofthedeep]

I can give you the web page for the guy I got it from. Sound quality ect. is better. It is fantastic.

[killstreak416]

can you give me the email add pls?

[pjones8404]

AWESOME!!!! This is incredible!!!!

[believer2005]

Thnx I will. Yeah, youtube has a thing about posting addys. stupid! I can only imagine how incredible this whole concert was considering Matthias had to learn the entire setlist in record time. He was fighting to survive the band, seems he succeeded. LOL

[believer2005]

Where is this Lovedrive concert? Plz let us know.

[kingofthedeep]

I can tell you where its at! Japan I have it on dvd. Send a message if you want the email address for the guy I got it from. The show freakin rocks.You tube won't let me post his e mail address

[HumanityHour1]

Please! please! please! give me the email adress :D

[azmanot]

Actually Scorpions the best among Rainbow, Purple,Dio,

even Sabbath.From M Schenker era,Uli Roth to Matts Jabs. The early Scorpions superb. From Fly To The Rainbow to Love At 1st Sting are the best material. For me Scorpions slow ballads rock the best forever. Blackout is the powerfull Rn R metal core. Fucking Scorpions THE LIVING LEGEND!

[EYNAR07]

Awesomeeee !!! i love scorpions

[HumanityHour1]

Awesome!!

[Clubfredl]

Kann mich noch gut erinnern, Ende der 70er in der

Aula der UNI Regensburg haben die das auch gespielt, der Oberhammer!

[HardRockLover]

yeah

[05rsx]

Great song,70s scorpions the best

[pordoklani1]

the bright side of my family.yeahhh!

[TygoS]

great song. hard and melodic..pure Scorpions style in transition period from lead guitar player

[metalgodz]

Wheres Uli

[cuLveN]

he left the band in 1978
