The Zoo (The Scorpions) Kel's First Reaction

[@waynestumbo2408]

The Zoo came off of Animal Magnetism in 1980. Blackout came out in 82 then Love at First Sting in 83

[@METALSCAVENGER78]

Love At First Sting came out in 1984

[@DeadShred9]

Late 83 Early 84 either way that's 3 fucking great start to Finish records in a row from the Scorpions !! Cant say ones better then the other if Im gonna listen to one usually grab Animal Magnetism 1st or it seems to happen that way . One of the 1st songs I learned to play the whole song ...

[@BlackieNuff]

1980-MAR-31 = Animal Magnetism 1982-APR-10 = Blackout 1984-MAR-27 = Love At First Sting There. No more bickering over the release dates. Wiki is your FRIEND. :-) In fact, back up one year to include the Lovedrive album (1979-JAN-15). Some great stuff on that album as well. Those 4 albums, in addition to the gems on "Best Of Scorpions Vols I & II", Savage Amusement, and Crazy World made up my Scorps library during the 80s and early 90s. Best music. Best times.

[@BlackieNuff]

@ mindre begavet Yes, those too. Excellent albums, but "not quite as awesome" as the 80s stuff. Still kinda rough and raw, not as "polished" as what I have become accustomed to. My opinion on that may change once I get more familiar with them though, lol. The two Best Of compilations gave me a good start, and I love (mostly) everything on those. The 80s albums got heavy rotation in my music playback selections since the 80s, so we're talking over 30 years of getting to know the material, whereas I only got acquainted with the 70s stuff in recent years, and I am still trying to find the time/opportunity to just press play on those albums and get a full complete experience from them. :-) If the Best Of compilations are any indication, I'm sure I'll ultimately expand my "Scorpions peak era" to include the 70s albums as well.

[@mikeseymour5398]

What's really amazing is the Scorpions came out in 65 and nobody heard of them until the late 70s an early 80s I was only a year old when that band came out.. I'm 55 now God bless them because they have to be the oldest active rock band out there on the road today..

[@ernieherrera4046]

Possibly my favorite Scorpions song! This is great Heavy Rock! You guys are awsome!!

[@evaDrepuS]

I agree on all points.

[@c.willharden9589]

Hey guys! #Scorpions NO ONE LIKE YOU , BIG CITY NIGHTS ,

[@rafaell.atlanticforest603]

[@monicajean37]

#scorpions hes A WOMAN,, Shes a man, i think thats from 1976 or 1977 GREAT SONG!

[@jeanclaudecollin3056]

Lorelei,when you came into my life 👍😊

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Best Love Song STILL LOVING YOU...perfect for Kel ;)

[@tomislavrasic7766]

They will probably get a kid after that if you get the reference lol

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Perfect German Rock/Metal History from Hannover.Klaus Meine,the Schenker Brothers and Uli John Roth are worldwide Legends.I always loved THE ZOO and CHINA WHITE.Maybe something from their earlier Work....

[@elkardona]

Action, Am I going mad, Another piece of meat, Virgin Killer, The sails of Charon, In trance... almost any Scorpions song from first four albums are great.

[@aidanthomas8599]

China White is a good one!🤟🏽

[@chrisbudberg8769]

Scorpions rock. Masters of the power balad. Great clean rock. So many great songs. Good choice I love watching you two. You are so down to earth. Have fun.

[@robulus143]

Might I suggest Holiday by Scorpions? You'd like a holiday...

[@j_freed]

Always somewhere with video images from The Crow is another good one. Makes me tear up a little. I also feel the song Animal Magnetism is underrated sinuous sexual and spooky. Crazy vocals and production.

[@roybond1251]

You know you have a keeper when she hands over her arm for some air guitar!!!!

[@clutegoodwin8559]

Glad to b home channel...Thanks yall...flashbacks from the 80s initiated....and my mullet is no more...lol

[@TheNWSCOTT]

Man the scorpions have so many hits its incredible !!!!! been around since late 60's listen to their very 1st album "LONESOME CROW" to start !!! im originally from oregon smoking pot to the scorpions full blast priceless !!!!!

[@redwing471]

Good review! Wishing the two of you the best! Subscribed. :)

[@Bonehead777]

I was lucky enough to see them at the Edinburgh Playhouse uk in 88. They were excellent live. Ah, memories.

[@MrTech226]

Rich, 1st thanks for this reaction because it has brought back memories of my college days in Tampa listening local rock station playing all Scorpions' songs in 1984. By listening this song, I remembered my time as a young man in those days. Thanks!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

My pleasure my friend. Seriously. This gets better and better. Wait until tonight. We are starting a tradition I think you'll like! Rich

[@vestel777]

Kel-n-Rich the band Adrenaline's song Road Of A Gypsy was off of 1985's Movie Iron Eagle. And of course Honeymoon Suite's song Lethal Weapon is from the 1987 Mel Gibson and Danny Glover Classic Lethal Weapon.

[@bgumm9122]

Saw them the first time in 1980 in Memphis TN, with Def Leppard, they opened for The Motor City Madman, Terrible Ted, could not hear for three days!

[@madhatter6708]

The Scorpions made some of the best rock ballads- thanks guys..

[@g2s2j2]

Always love this song. When I was in college, (early 80's), I originally thought the song was about our favorite bar in Ft. Lauderdale, THE ZOO...we became a permanent feature at that place for at least 5 years.

[@patricksannella4120]

When I started playin live gigs We'd cover Scorps, and I couldnt help but notice the crowds always loved these guys .So they would get as close to the amps as they could Always smiling , and loaded, buy'in drinks like they were going out of style . Good music to party to ! Most of the audience didnt know the Lyrics, but they didnt care. So we had always another Scorps song that we could throw in there. Marshals and I played Ampegs n Peavey's bi amped so it would get pretty loud. The Scorps always was a crowd pleaser and created almost a Carnival atmosphere ! Wed sell out the door and the bar in about an hour 2 am and they always wanted more and wouldnt go home ! Our singers voice always got blown out on Klause Mein's vocals, so we save the best for last ! This was one band from the 80's that you didnt need a keybordist with , like opening a can of whoop ass !

[@therocknrollmillennial535]

5:05 "Ready to get your... bass on?" Missed opportunity to ask if you're ready to get stung.

[@rowdyron4111]

I saw these guys play in Anchorage Alaska, and in Phoenix Arizona! Awesome shows, great pick!! Yo Kel-n-Rich!!

[@frankensteinlives5451]

Love me some Scorpions. Love the Zoo. Rock you like a hurricane. Big city nights. Still loving you. Wind of change.

[@kevinheath716]

My prayers are with you and your family.... I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also a huge Scorpions fan. I've seen them 6 times. This song actually was 1980 off the Animal Magnetism record. I really feel like Kel needs to hear Wind of Change, with the Berliner Philharmoniker..... in Hanover at the Worlds Fair in 2000.

[@jimtravis9847]

I love your reactions, Best on KZbin hands down, Well done to you both!!

[@treadtyred9742]

Thx Kel & Rich 🤘

[@adrianmorris5546]

I truly love the Scorpions especially their earlier stuff from the Lonesome Crow album Tokyo Tapes Fly to the Rainbow

[@fasteddie617]

Good ole Times Square in the 80's. The debauchery was off the charts. Perfect song for it 👌

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

LOVED the whole body reaction to the music! So awesome!

[@labrat74]

Hi guys, loving the reactions! #Danzig She Rides , #DangerousToys Scared. Thanks, Mike Cincinnati

[@RocknRolla2023]

Love Scorpions!

[@saturnracer156]

Another classic that takes me back to my 14 y/o self. I had Animal Magnetism and Blackout are two of my all-time favorite albums. I saw them on the Love at First Sting tour. The title track from Animal Magnetism, or Falling in Love are both great songs.

[@ericfromkokomo]

YOU GUYS KILT IT! Best vid yet! And... you have your next Scorps reaction vid already. You two talked about it. I gotta say man.... With each vid you do the better you're getting. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Continue kissing guys. Oh, by the by... anything in the future with KISS? Early KISS maybe. Another good bass song like "God of Thunder?" I know, I know ... hashtag them LOL. This wasn't a request but a "maybe" down the road thing? Hugs! Peace out Mate!

[@blackfender100]

This song caused a lot of speeding tickets back in the day .Super hard rocker.

[@mikeseymour5398]

Rawk!On You guys are Awesome! I saw the Scorpions in 1988 at Van Halen's Monsters of Rock.. at the rubber bowl in Akron Ohio.. it was Kingdom Come" Dokken" Metallica" The Scorpions" and Van Halen! It was about a hundred and ten degrees there..a very hot! summer day and that place was like a zoo!.

[@firuzabdolah8094]

Ahh scorpions, lots of memories in trance, steamrock fever, no one like you, and so on and on and on

[@evaDrepuS]

Everything is getting longer... Well played sir, well played...

[@milanpetkovic1990]

Some says that Scorpions are not heavy metal, but they definitely are. They are hard rock/heavy metal band.

[@Mar-yk6jp]

Great idea. Once again I’m just enjoying your musical journey.

[@michaelnorman2967]

I saw the Scorpions in 1980 when they opened for Ted Nugent and they were absolutely spectacular. In case you didn't know, the founder of the Scorpions, Rudolf Schenker, is the older brother of Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist of UFO, who cranks out all of that great screaming guitar on their album Strangers In The Night. You are right Rich, they were at the forefront of the 1980's rock explosion. Thanks very much.

[@EchoesDaBear]

#PinkFloyd It's about bloody time you did some Scorpions!! and a great song to boot...always loved this piece! If you want to hear one of the most beautiful power ballads EVER, you must do 'Still Loving You' as your next Scorpions track! Other definite listens are: Rock You Like A Hurricane, No One Like You, Crossfire, & especially Wind Of Change (keeping in mind that this song came out around the time the Berlin Wall was coming down - and the Scorps are from Germany! Fitting to say the least) I'm from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada!!

[@jimharris367]

The Zoo is on the Animal Magnetism album if I remember correctly - a great album and the tour was my first time catching the Scorps live 🤘

[@platonicdescartes]

I enjoyed the 80's era of Scorpions, but it was a pretty large step back from the Uli era in the 1970's, in my opinion. "We'll Burn the Sky", "Sails of Charon", "In Trance", and "Holiday" are probably my favorite Scorpions songs. "The Zoo" was a good transitional song between the two eras though, so still a good choice.

[@tobismusicchannel3033]

Great reaction! Love your videos! And I would love to see more Scorpions reactions. Rock You Like A Hurricane, Holiday, In Trance, He's A Woman - She's a Man would be great.

[@alleneh]

Hadn't heard this in a few years. You got this old man jammin' to the beat. Klaus had one of the best voices.

[@sebastianbruhl19]

This song is magic and you two are just gorgeous :)

[@JohnSmith-cm6tv]

At 4:23 LOL I laughed heartily !

[@davidhewitt9412]

Rich, you are a lucky man. Kel is a goddess.

[@METALSCAVENGER78]

My favorite song for 1980s Scorpions along with Dynamite and Coming Home

[@michaelgibson2160]

Hey Rich, The Zoo was on the Animal Magnetism album circa 1983ish. Unique design .

[@Dano_in_Texas]

Also, since the Scorpions are from Germany... another great German band to put the headphones on to...#Accept My personal favorites, of theirs... #BallsToTheWall #FastAsAShark (buckle up for this one) #RestlessAndWild Enjoy! #feelthemusic

[@dan-lv8ss]

1983 Westfalenhalle Dortmund: Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Krokus, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot and MSG. Best concert EVER !!!!

[@FarazOloumi]

\m/ will see the Scorpions live this summer at Rock the Coast! soooo pumped!

[@ETRacing]

LOL! I love you guys!

[@sammybeck7794]

These are their best albums: 1.Lonesome Crow 2.Fly to the Rainbow 3.In Trance 4.Virgin Killer 5.Taken by Force 6.Love Drive These albums were recorded prior to 1980 when Uli Jon Roth was lead guitarist (with the exception of Lonesome Crow which featured Michael Schenker on lead guitar and Love Drive which was Matthias Jabs first album with Scorpions ft Michael Schenker on a couple of songs). At that time Uli and Rudolf Schenker wrote the songs, mostly Uli Jon and they had a harder sound. Then came Blackout with Matthias Jabs as lead guitarist. Everything changed. They lost that hard Edge and became more of a Rock ballad band. This song's an exception cuz it rocks

[@royisler7448]

#Scorpions No one like you. Big city nights. Still loving you. Canada

[@johnstarace8369]

NO ONE LIKE YOU, yes, yes, yes, my all time, always best, greatest, bestest Scorpions song, I truly love this song and the solo is incredible.

[@Explorer766]

70’s Scorpions pure art. 80’s and beyond not so much.

[@billoldham4413]

I just wanted to say , I just love you guys !!!!!!!!!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Hi Bill! Thank you kind sir!!!!! We so appreciate your love and you being here with us. It’s such a nice way to connect with you. Talk soon. Rich

[@bgumm9122]

I saw them in Memphis TN, July 3 1980, They opened for Ted Nugent, this song is awsome live.

[@roryschweinfurter2601]

The Scorpions Worldwide Live is an excellent concert album. Other than that I have only 3 things to say JIMMY BUFFETT! JIMMY BUFFETT!! JIMMY BUFFETT!!!

[@markyg236]

Kel definitely having an eargasm

[@1Vettefan]

#Leatherwolf Rise or Fall Amazing power metal band with 3 guitarists in the group. Beautiful, melodic hard rock. They hail from southern California and were formed in the mid 1980s. I first heard them in high school in the 80s (I'm from Northeast Ohio, USA btw). Love the Scorpions too! They are a beast live.

[@Westminsterfan1981]

You will instantly like “send me an angel” by the Scorpions. Great song.

[@rafael-horacio]

#Yes South Side of the Sky

[@Rick-zs1rn]

I don't know if you guys check your messages anymore or if you still get your comments but I've been searching on the internet to try to find the models names that were in that video Rich do you know what it is cuz I can't find it anywhere. But I'm a big fan like you and your wife are and I enjoyed watching your first reactions she's cute I like her reaction

[@thetechnicalsoul8462]

Hi! I just found you guys and subscribed. I love watching Kel's reactions. I have a million recommendations, but since Kel is classically trained, you might like to know that The Scorpions were a very different band in their early days. They started with a classically inspired guitarist, Uli Jon Roth, and were much thrashier. I'd love to see you two react to #Scorpions Sails of Charon. Did I do that right? lol

[@petercarmody4897]

Good to see you!

[@timray3860]

Hi! Enjoying your channel. My request is #bluemurdervalleyofthekings. Murray, KY FYI: the lead singer is also the guitarist in this 3 piece group. You may recognize his guitar sound from when he was in Whitesnake on the song "Still Of The Night" that you guys played earlier. Great song about the slaves building the pyrimids of Egypt. Enjoy! P.s. Find the album version because the official video is radio edited.....remember "Too Late For Love"?

[@rufscooby1]

try "Steam Rock Fever" by the Scorpions.....mid 70's

[@johnstarace8369]

THE SCORPS BABY !!! I love your choices. My favorite Scorpions song is No One Like You, try to listen/watch the studio version with the music video, it's a great song and a great video. You'll love both the song and the video Sorry unfortunately I don't have a Twitter account .

[@kal5163]

Hi Guys, love the warmth you two share - truly special. Anyway, old school classics you might like to hear: #Budgie Napoleon Bonapartes 1&2, or Breadfan (an old school Brit 3-piece often name-checked by Metallica); #Rainbow - Stargazer; #Rush - Xanadu; #Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger; #Genesis - Suppers Ready (if you can spare the time!). Kind regards from Hampshire, in the UK.

[@lucypoopies]

Great reaction as usual Kel-n-Rich. May I suggest... Scorpions - "China White" #painintheask

[@BlackieNuff]

Scorpions made some of the "sexiest" metal (metal that was perfect for making out - and/or more - to) during the 80s (along with Def Leppard and other bands). The Zoo is a song among that mix. In fact, the title track that this song is from (Animal Magnetism) is probably THE "sexiest" song ever... 6 minutes of hot, heavy, slow-paced, sweat-soaked, raw, "animal magnetic" metal. :-P I would recommend AM for a reaction video, but I dunno if you and Kel could control yourselves, haha.

[@ThomasEJensen_TEJ]

Where did you find Kel. And is there more Kel's there?✌😍

[@CorM1]

Great song but my favourite is "Follow your heart". I sang this for my familie who are circumnavigate the wordld with their sailing yacht :)

[@duilioalba4395]

You're an adorable couple and is very fun to watch your videos!!!!

[@BlackieNuff]

My first Scorps album was the compilation, Best Of Rockers & Ballads. It is the best "starter" album from the best era (the 80s) for someone new to the Scorpions. Add the Best Of Scorpions Vols I & II, and you'll have an excellent array of tunes from the 70s as well.

[@Dano_in_Texas]

Keeping in the #Scorpions realm...a couple of songs I don't know of you've done, yet. #ChinaWhite #CatchYourTrain Two of my favorites. #feelthemusic

[@jamminjeeper5854]

Nice. Now you know you've got to do Lovedrive, No One Like You, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Big City Nights...Great band.

[@raymondmoir478]

Awesome

[@dawnboren594]

Animal Magnatism, first song I ever heard by them in 1980. Oops, that's the album name, the Zoo was the song. Still my favorite song by them.

[@BlackieNuff]

This is definitely a good stripper song... I guess appearing on an album called Animal Magnetism is not accident/coincidence. For that matter, the title track is highly eroticized "stripper" track.

[@Milano-ug3iu]

See them in the American Tours festival in the first day of July 2019 (France). You can find some greats amateurs video of this concert. Klaus Meine, good voice, but a bit old now.

[@mikeseymour5398]

Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs AR very underrated guitar players Gr8 Band..Rawk!On

[@ll7868]

The Scorpions were one of my dad's favourite bands in the 70s and 80s. If it weren't for my dad's musical influences I might have grown up listening to disco and pop music like most kids in the 70s and 80s or the Irish Rovers like my grampa. TBH I kinda like the Irish Rovers.☘

It's a blow your speakers kind of song especially the opening guitar riff.Their newer updated version is also cool with a slight change to the beat.

[@johnstarace8369]

Several other Scorpion songs to consider: In Trance - older song but a great tune Rock You Like A Hurricane Still Loving You I'm Leaving You Rhythm of Love
