First time hearing Scorpions - Still Loving You

Join us on / flickeringbox
One of the greatest ballads of the 80s, Still Loving You by the Scorpions has been a fan favorite since it debuted in 1984. In this Alexis and Burch get into a spirited conversation about the necessity and purpose of mix tapes. Scorpions were a true radio and concert staple through the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Matthias Jabs joined the band around 1980 he's the main guitarist Rudy was there from the start when they still had Rudy's brother Michael Schenker and Jon Uli Roth 2 massively great guitarists Michael went onto UFO and also MSG (McAuley Schenker Group then Michael Schenker Group)

Just as I was about to send a tender tribute to Alexis for her humor and witty presence, Now I find out she is as no nonsense as my daughters who are in their 30s , I guess my reaction now is / I enjoy this channel, great chemistry and just to say , I would never have sent a song or almost anything else to a woman that was in the rear view, lol Way to many more available, Great channel

Klaus is one of the few vocalists that, for me, can live comfortably in Dio's category. The guy's amazing.

The reason why your reaction channel is one of my favorites is that you’re able to put the music,songs and bands in context for her to properly understand before listening to the songs.

The guitarist who did the solo is Matthias Jabs. He replaced Michael Schenker after the later left to pursue his own solo career. Michael's brother Rudolf is a founder and still is a member of the Scorpions but he is more of a rhythm type of player. All of them are great in my books😊

Klaus does play on a few tracks live- just to add some extra texture. (Coast to Coast, is, I believe, one of those) But, with Rudy and Matthias, you really don't need to, lol. If you're interested, Alexis, they have a live album out from this time period called World Wide Live that's fantastic! They really brought the heat, live.

Holy Crap! This was my go-to song in the 80's and still brings a tear to my eye when I hear it. So many breakups. Such a powerful song. Alexis is such a gorgeous girl and her describing her recount of how she rejected men by swiping left or simply destroying a suitor's tape in an instant without any second thought reminds me of how a cat plays with a mouse and the mouse is in dire peril and about to be eaten and she is thoroughly enjoying it. Burch's reaction to the song is more in line with how I feel when I hear it and seems very authentic. Keep up the good work, you two.

Growing up in the 80's and actually living in what was then WEST Germany, their song 'Wind Of Change' was absolutely ICONIC and for me will always be synonymous with the ending of the Cold War, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the reunification of Germany they are after all, a German band. They performed in 1999 at the 10th year anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

On that same album, the track before "Still Loving You", called "Crossfire", is about the Cold War, but its lyrics still apply to this day. 14:07 Best part of the song, whether you like it, or whether you don't! 😁 Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden's singer, has released a few solo albums. "A Tyranny Of Souls (2005) contains the song "Navigate The Seas Of The Sun", a semi-ballad. Beautiful lyrics!

[@joelspaulding5964]

Cannot disagree.

[@SeanHendy]

Burch, if it is any comfort, I'm a few years younger than you, so spent my formative years before the internet and blocking, and whilst at University my main romance got 2 x mix tapes from me, whilst we were together, not apart I might add. She abruptly broke things off, much to the consternation of her parents who had no idea what she was doing. I wrote her letters (no cell phones of course in those days), and whilst she did admit later that she never read any of them and just threw them out, she did keep the mix tapes. Ironically a few years later, she it would appear, played those tapes pretty much on repeat, and was the reason we got back together. No happy ending sadly, another 6 months down the line, and she ran for the hills again for the last time, never to return, but the mix tapes were instrumental in us at least having a second go of things.

[@michaelburggraf2822]

My first hard rock album "Lovedrive" by The Scorpions. Still one of my favourites. The other great ballad on it is "Holyday"(very long). I think it's Michael Schenker on lead guitar.

Saw them in the summer of 1984 on the Love At First Sting tour ( I was 17 at the time) in Toronto, Canada 39 years ago but still one the best shows I have ever seen got 4 bands on the ticket that night I only remember 3 of the bands Canadian Rocker Helix, Quiet Riot, and one other band I want to say Kick Axe maybe and of course the headliners the Scorpions all for under 25 bucks. The band released a double live album of the 1984 world tour called World Wide Live and is one the best live albums ever released. Yes, Klaus does play he plays rhythm guitar on "Coast to Coast" as someone has said below.
