The Zoo - Scorpions | Father and Son Reaction! 🦂

[@fatherandsonreactions]

After checking out “No One Like You”, everyone was letting us know that this one comes next! Where do we go from here? Let us know! 🙌🔥😃👍 PS: Thank you to everyone who joined out live stream yesterday! It was a lot of fun!

[@roncardenas2582]

Nice, well done reaction, I'm thinking Rock You Like A Hurricane next, keep rocking🤘

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We both know that one. Great suggestion though! -S

[@roncardenas2582]

@@fatherandsonreactions sweet, carry on, lol😁😁

[@vibingwithvinyl]

I'm leaning towards "Bad Boys Running Wild" :)

[@stevegrey6022]

This is a great song,I really like the subtle use of the talkbox on the guitar near the end. Other great tracks from their early days in the late 70s that are worth checking out are Sails Of Charon and We'll Burn The Sky.They had a different guitarist then - Uli Jon Roth but he is really good - but they are equally good and enjoyable,solid heavy rock🤘🤘

[@doplinger1]

I didn’t think I had ever heard it before either, but the chorus was familiar. You always know it’s Scorpions when you hear that voice!

[@denomane7962]

SEND ME AN ANGEL , BEAUTIFUL SONG

[@bradb3248]

What a great song to react to, like the father wasn’t a huge Scorpions fan, but loved The Zoo. It’s been far too long since I’ve listened to, thanks guys.

[@rhondawest8027]

IMO Wind of Change... absolutely a must!

[@AnnStewart-h2v]

I think this young generation appreciates good music!

[@lisamorrison2149]

Hey F&S...love the Scorpions. Another great reaction. "We'll Burn The Sky" is an earlier song by them. Great video of them doing it, too.❤🤘

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thanks Lisa! -S

[@jamesmaster1450]

Good song! Propably have heard it somewhere before. Next one Wind of Change, Still Loving you, Send Me an Angel Just a classics... Thanks for reaction!

[@palantir135]

Happy new year. Probably my favorite Scorpions song and there are more. Black-out China white Big city nights Holliday

[@Jp421JP]

Scorpions was one of my favorite bands growing up. This song is awesome. Son, dive deep into Scorpions. Lots of great albums. You gotta get some full albums. Crazy world is great as is love at first sting. There something primal about scorpions music. It rocks.

[@AXXXDEAN]

BIG CITY NIGHTS has got to be next. it has a huge rocking sound off their biggest album ...same album as Rock You Like a Hurricane

[@jvmonte6638]

This is one of my favourite Scorpions songs, it’s live version from their World Wide Live album is what got me hooked on the band. Great reaction! If you’re looking for that same feel as No One Like You, check out Still Loving You. Happy New Year, peace and love from Toronto!

[@ronvaw]

saw them in concert in the 80's still have the stub. great show

[@fatherandsonreactions]

That’s awesome. Must’ve been a great show. -S

[@alex35agm]

Such an amazing band and this is has got such a wonderful guitar intro.One of my top five favourite bands.Their own remake of this is just as cool with a bit funkier guitar lick.Plus Klaus Meine's voice is so unique and what a great name.I saw them live in 1996 with another legend,Alice Cooper and it was amazing.

[@roncardenas2582]

Great tune, have always loved this one. A true rocker, great beat, vocals are good. So glad y'all enjoyed this one. Rock on🤘🤘 muck love&respect!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thanks Ron! Great seeing you as always! Rock on 🤘! -S

[@JohannesJ7539]

I'm surprised you reacted to this one. This song has a special place in my heart. When I was 19 my band was opening for the Bar's house band. During our set the singer had an accident so the owner told us that if we filled in for the band we would receive over twice our pay but only if we could play for 1 hour. Of course we said yes without thinking. Nearing the end we had run out of sings we knew and still had to do like 10 min I did a little banter onstage and convinced the band to improvise an extended version of this song... Got paid nicely at the end of the night.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Wow that’s a pretty cool story! Thanks for sharing! -S

[@1Lovebird1]

One of my favorite scorpions song

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

Scorpions live is the best in most of their songs and this is one of them. You guys should revisit this song in The World Wide Tour live album in 1984 I believe, this song The Zoo in this concert it's just amazing!!!!

[@doobiedave9686]

There is a deep cut rocker, albeit a bizzare song and video, by the Scorpions called He's A Woman, She's A Man from the Tour of Force album. I like the use of the talk box on The Zoo.

[@joelabel7843]

Commented before i watched. Cant wait. One of my faveourite scorpions song. Try holiday live version. The studio one is really cool too.

[@PhilPastor]

Good reaction, guys... I've always loved this song! In fact, for years that opening groove was my phone's ringtone :)

[@rob2297]

Such a cool song! Great opinions and discussion 👌🏼 Another BANGER review! Haha If you boys want some serious Scorpions rock & roll, you have to hear Catch Your Train! It is UNREAL!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 Happy New Year, lads! Keep up the great work 🍻

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thank you Rob! Happy new year! 🎊 -S

Also by Scorpions, Love on the Run We Let It Rock... You Let It Roll Don't Stop at the Top Passion Rules the Game Every Minute Every Day Media Overkill Walking on the Edge

[@rubbersole79]

By far the best 40 year old album in my collection. All killer, no filler.

[@cassvirgillo3395]

Hey L & E, You probably know the Scorpions are from Germany, definitive rock from the 80's era. Many killer tunes, lots of radio airplay for the Scorpions. Music is such a personal thing, everyone's taste is different. There is always Blackout or a later one, Winds of Change, well worth a listen, if only for yourself. Sorry to break it to you, I think '21 is going to hold more of the same, as the virus mutates into different strains, they could be at it for a long time, the term, the new normal, says a lot. Not to worry, time has a way of dealing with a lot of things. On a brighter note, diggin' the channel and some great song suggestions. Rain and '50's. We get what's called the Pineapple Express, wind, lot's of rain, but, really warm temps. All the best from Oregon, C.

[@Matt-rn7ub]

Hey Guys. Great and honest reaction, as always.👍Thank you. Yes indeed. Let's hope this year will be better than the last one... ...where Corona is a beer again, Where Positiv really means something positive, Where Distance refers to a far away holiday destination, Where masks are worn at carnival.😄

[@chrisnelson143]

Love the Scorpions

[@usernroll2525]

Check out more Scorpions songs play in live, recomendations: In Trance ( Wacken 2006 ), We'll Burn the sky (Moment of Glory 2000) and others!...

[@Wes1969YT]

We'll Burn The Sky from the excellent 1979 live album Tokyo Tapes with Uli Jon Roth on guitar...this is THE real Scorpions !! @Father and Son Reactions, the 70's Scorpions is far better !!! Try these songs , if your not you miss something ! : He's a Woman , She's a Man , In Trance , Pictured Life, Sails of Charon, We'll Burn The Sky (live Tokyo Tapes), Speedy's Coming (live Tokyo tapes), Steamrock Fever, etc !

[@paulmurphy6914]

Loved the guitar in that song Lary&Ethan. Ioved the live show yesterday happy new year to you both.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Glad you enjoyed Paul! It was great seeing you there! -S

[@mikeymikebw]

I was stationed on the USS Kalamazoo during Desert Storm and I tried really hard to get my ship to play this song when we’ed break away from refueling. Memories.😃

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

Great bluesey rythm pattern from Scorpions.

[@retrometal]

Great song choice. This was probably the start of their more commercial writing in my opinion. Animal Magnetism on a whole is a pretty great album, but they really brought it together on Blackout. That album is great from beginning to end. Many argue that their 70's output is where the real magic is. Uli Jon Roth and Michael Schenker are both highly influential players in rock and metal guitar.

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

Rock You Like a Hurricane. Hit Winds of Change....

[@christophercollins9333]

Probably the Scorpions song I have listened to the most oddly enough, and I am a Scorpions fan - this is their edgiest/grungiest song imo; I felt like it was a very overlooked gem, much like Fourth of July by Soundgarden which I will also highly recommend.

[@Inosuke_Hashibira75]

Classic track 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

[@maximilianstarcevic3669]

Hi guys, just to let you know for the little story, that the german guys of Scorpion are living in Monaco (my country) and be careful with the other german guys of Rammstein, they are on another level...have to watch them live, you will not believe....

[@unholy48]

try the live version, more guitar less whispering... World Wide Live!

[@j.j.4150]

The whispering is literally part of the charm

[@brianb6024]

nice reaction to a cool song! maybe next do Rock You Like A Hurricane 👍

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thank you Brian! We both know that one already. Great song! -S

[@mariannegoldweber1577]

Your dad makes me giggle. You obviously haven't spent much time on the streets we call the zoo. It's dangerous and whispery there.. 👀😎👀

[@andreo.7633]

Good tune

[@maximilianstarcevic3669]

Funny, cause i was listening to scorpions and watching tv at the same time here in Europe, Steelers vs Browns (american football

[@robertphelps1574]

I saw scorpions in 85 supporting Deep purple at knebworth Fun fact there was a band from the 60s called The Scorpions

[@zachgoins6807]

Love this song and the riffs but can feel a little slow at times. Please check out Sails of Charon and Alien Nation by the Scorpions. Both are amazing and insanely different but still rock hard

[@edgarzavala9405]

You need to do coming home or big city nights

[@davemac1197]

Hi guys. Not heard this one before, or any Scorpions as far as I'm aware. Like Father, I may have heard something on the radio but not known it was Scorpions - I've always had issues with radio DJs in the UK not back-announcing what they've played - I've even walked into a local radio station one time in Gloucester during my lunch hour to ask what instrumental track they were playing during my morning commute into town, and they STILL couldn't tell me exactly what it was (I know it was The Brazilian by Genesis - because I didn't give up). I thought that musically this was very interesting and a bit different, but for me the vocals did not live up to the potential for this song - I like vocal harmonies, or at least one really strong singer. At the end, Father said pretty much the same thing, so we're on the same wavelength again! Really enjoyed the livestream yesterday, but I think my stomach thought my throat had been cut, and despite the 5 hour time difference I ended up having dinner at the same time as folks in New Jersey! My observation on song suggestions is that I think people should think about the best songs as introductions for bands that are new to you, Ethan. I was unfamiliar with Supertramp's School and disappointed when I heard it - I would never have played a track like that to someone who had never heard Supertramp before - I would play The Logical Song or possibly one or two others, and if that doesn't blow you away then you won't want to hear any more Supertramp. That's my tuppence worth - about 2.5 cents at the current rate of exchange!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

This is a long one! I’ll reply when I’m done reading. One second

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Ok done reading!!! Fantastic comment!! You might’ve heard “Rock You Like A Hurricane” By Scorpions. It’s pretty famous. Glad you enjoyed the stream yesterday! So sorry to keep you up that late haha! At least you had a great time, that’s what counts. We definitely will check out “Logical Song” after all the requests for it at the stream along with a few others. Hope you enjoyed today’s video! Take care Dave! -S

[@davemac1197]

@@fatherandsonreactions - Ha! There's a whole four minutes between your replies! Just quickly checked Rock Like A Hurricane and it rings no bells, UK chart data says only reached number 78 in 1984. Sorry guys, it's an American band that didn't impress the UK record buying public. Their only big hit in 14 single releases was Wind Of Change at number 2 in 1991, and only then on re-release three months after first charting at 53. When George Lucas didn't approve a design for Star Wars, he used a rubber stamp marked 'Deep Regret' - something about Scorpions just made me remember that. Sorry.

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

This is one of the Scorpions most popular/well known songs. This is also the first Scorpions song I ever heard back in high school...and of course I immediately had to hear more, which led me to purchasing the Blackout album (I couldn't find the Animal Magnetism album at the time). I had no idea that they had been around since the 70's at this point. Their old material is way different than this era...the first album sounded more like Sabbath than Scorpions IMO, especially the guitar tone. I kind of stopped listening to them after they started mellowing out too much...it seemed that after they did Wind of Change, they started doing too many ballads so I lost interest...also I was getting into heavier stuff at that time. if you want more of their rocking songs, check out the whole Blackout album. For my next suggestion, here is the Scorpions - Can't Live Without You (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpXIq2CDj62lq7s). I was going to suggest something else, but since you asked for a rockin' Scorpions song, I figured I'd provide one haha! Cheers!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Ahh ok interesting! Thanks for joining our livestream yesterday Mike! -S

[@emeraldtiger7135]

My favorite of theirs is Rythym of Love

[@sportz_scarred]

You guys should try the version of this off of the World Wide Live album. Much higher energy and probably how it should have been originally ;)

[@brianmannell9754]

I think for myself, the song has a feeling of searching for something important that you need (like you're on a mission), with the slow chugging of the guitars. Then the chorus kicks in, and you found that thing, but it's something you didn't expect. And then the slow chugging comes back, feeling like you're back searching again. That's how it felt to me. I'm curious to hear if Larry has heard any songs with a decent amount of whispering in it that he enjoys. I feel like there's a generational sort of gap in this aspect, because I don't recall many rock and metal hits from the 70s-80s with much whispering in them, so I'm wondering if he's just grown used to clear, pronounced vocal styles in music he really enjoys. I feel like you started hearing more whispers within music in the 90s, with some bands in both rock and metal adopting the style within SOME of their music (like NIN, Type O Negative, Korn, Deftones. I'm sure others as well). But, I know it's not a style for everyone, and that's fine. I like it, personally, depending on the vibe the band is going for. I think the whispering added a nice layer of atmosphere during the parts of this song, even making it feel more "personal" or have an air of "desire" to them. And the whispering and slow chugging of the guitars offered nice contrast to the chorus (and you know me, I like me some contrast in music. I feel like it makes songs more interesting to listen to, but it's not always required. It depends on what a band wants to go for). Overall, I dig the song. Whispering vocals doesn't bother me in the right context, and I thought it fit the vibe of what they wanted to go for here. Guitar work is solid throughout, too. Just checked out the lyrics, and I think they're 10/10 alone (well, I think they're very good at least). They have a NIN kind of feel in some parts, too, which I like. lol

[@fatherandsonreactions]

i’m telling you man! Write a book! all your descriptions of the songs that we do are all perfect and I feel like if you wrote a book it would be a best seller! Love your descriptions as always! -S

[@brianmannell9754]

@@fatherandsonreactions Haha, thank you Ethan! Any form of validation is okay in my book! Haha! (also, yeah, a pun for you there. :P ) I'm just doing what you guys are doing, and giving my thoughts on how a song feels makes me feel, and what sort of things stuck out to me. You both do a great job of doing that too! And it's great how you both bounce ideas off each other as you pick apart things that you connect and don't connect with. I feel like I'm always finding something new to think about during your post-reaction discussions. And if I ever get a book out, you'll be one of the first to know. :)

You need to do "Blackout" "Another Piece of Meat," and "Big City Nights."

Add "Dynamite" to the list, also.

I only thought about it later, that my previous comment might have been somewhat inappropriate. (Concerning that last sentence) If I have offended anyone with it, I sincerely apologize. I have edited the comment and deleted the last sentence.

[@calvinwboaz7085]

As usual, I am going to take a 180 degree turn on you. Like Father, I know just some radio hits from The Scorpions. While The Scorpions seemed representative of what was going on in the US and UK, there was a movement called Krautrock that was going on in Germany in the late 60's and early 70's, where the music was more psychedelic, progressive, electronic, and avant-garde. I am suggesting Archangels Thunderbird by Amon Duul II. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqu2mmSnhd11f7M

[@AGDinCA]

I like Scorpions, but personally I think this song is so boring. They have so many songs that are vastly better. _Blackout_ comes to mind. But my favorite Scorpions song is one that receives little to no attention, which is a shame because I just think it is badass! It's called _Alien Nation,_ and I've linked it below. Scorpions (Alien Nation, OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpiZmoSupcmagqs

[@tapanim6576]

Scorpions are great and this song is good, but it's not their best in my opinion. Rock You Like A Hurricane, Big City Nights and Still Loving You are great songs.

[@erniehenderson1100]

Dude you’re kidding me about the vocals right go back and listen my goodness
