Uli Jon Roth - Whiter Shade of Pale (Sky Academy 2006)

[CPE1784TKS]

The guy with orange t-shirt playing guitar, seems lost...

And the voice of the singer is very bornng...

[chachapc007]

Congratulations to the singer and guitarist who developed an own style of interpretation, really made a difference, very good, keep innovating, full marks for all

[znarf541]

Oh that's lame... guess they didn't hear the original...

[olithe1]

this song can only be played with 5 guitars ;)

[steeler129]

Nice Voice...but sorry..the guitarguys are absolutly Self -portrayal

[bigloo609]

whoa whoa whoa...yeah yeah yeah...vocals were crap. She thinks she's Whitney.

[pretyls]

This would have been nice if they don't spoil the guitar parts. No disrespect to Doug Doppler but he was over excited. Uli's solo is fine as always. 3 guitarists on the other side seems to race to witch mountain. The bass player is a bit confused which one to look first. The vocals is like alice in wonderland. And David Paich, i didn't recognize till i read the description, wonder if he is scratching his head from all the commotions. All because of a bad video quality everything was spoiled.

[CPE1784TKS]

The guy with orange t-shirt,seems lost in space!!!

Too many hash!!!

SHHHIIIIIIII!!!!!!!

[dannycorser]

Look at 5;30 the guy in the orange shirt walking back wtf is he doing ?

[davemustainee2]

@dannycorser The "A" just kicked in!

[dannycorser]

Why didnt the other guitar players walk off and let Uli play this by himself ? Or with Glenn Hughes singing with Uli , I love Speedys Coming by Uli !!!

[wwwjohnjewelcom]

In 2006 I toured the country as an opera soloist , aida and tosca ....tenor pricipal.

[goardface]

i see a roast beef sandwich in my future.

[wwwjohnjewelcom]

@goardface

Not with a veggy girl.

[zopiklon]

one (me) can ask some questions: why did the ibanez guy shred himself instead of playing that guitar? why could/did not uli find a better line-up? and the girl, who draw her here in this picture?

[3oldsag]

looks very improvised; they play different things all the time, the singer is a lady and sings in a high baritone key; she cannot choose between singing high or low.

[wwwjohnjewelcom]

@3oldsag

So what she is great.

[TheGrabsplatter]

Way overdone....check out Glenn Hughes version, much better

[clewi1091]

Way over done. Sounded very self indulgent to me. Is she trying to be like Christina or Mariah? The guy playing the Ibanez, (second guitar solo), looks like he is having bad stomach cramps through the whole thing. I think he tried to play every lick he knows in 30 seconds. Not tasty at all.

[nicolman1]

Nice Voice !!!

[Adastra14]

oh my god what was that? ......i watched it till the end trying to find a redeemable factor....and she went all soul in the end..."brilliant"

[JammastaJ23]

Not great but there were some good things. Les Paul guy was ok, the Ibanez guy's solo wasn't that bad, and the singer is pretty hot.

[blocklit]

Too many cooks just spoiled the stew. The singer was trying her best to be different and impressive and just came over as contrived and over the top. The guitarist who took the second guitar solo should go home and forget about playing music. There is only one word to describe his attitude and the music he played on stage : ugly.

[archenermy]

shame really,fu@ked up a great song,com on Uli,you can do better..........

[litehouse6]

Awful over done vocals. The second soloist is an idiot. Basically this version sucks.

[Metalgod668]

Yeah, That second solo shows any budding guitarist WHAT NOT TO DO!!

1. Dont play rock god on a slow song.

2. Dont eat all the pies then wear a T-Shirt.

3. Dont Buy an I've been had (Ibanez) Guitar and a high gain amp because most of the time you simply wont be heard in a live mix (OF REAL INSTRUMENTS) unless your playing thrashy death or are playing extremely loud.

I mean seriously, Could anyone actually hear much of what that guy was playing!?

[TheEarbleeder]

@Metalgod668

No kidding! that was some of the most "Look at me Mom" wanking.

[moilachiara]

wow but though moving's not what she's good at :D

[robibm2003]

Really forgettable vocal and you can tell she wants to be Stevie Nicks so bad it is insane. Unfortunately, she sounds like a cross between Kathy Lee Gifford and a second rate Mariah Carey imitator.

That second guitar solo also just flat sucked. It was something you would see from some guy in a no hoper band third on the bill at the Troubadour roundabout 1985. Just excessive bullshit.

You can see how much more understated Uli's solo was than the other two. And about ten times more effective.

[maziku]

lol well said about the showboat with the second solo.

[denimtilldeath]

Nice gold top lp , hey man ilove the vocals too ... !!!!!!!!!!!! 5 starz all the way (btw ... ibet she can sing soul and r n b even better ) PEACE n hornzup.

[CPE1784TKS]

The vocals does not matches!!!!

Great song !!!!!

Procol Harum 1967!!!!

[wj74]

this is easily the silliest version i've heard.....

[redmontana321]

Is this Spinal Tap?Listen to Glenn Hughes version of this song. A million times better

[Bobby61557]

School of Rock!

[austinhealey1959]

Wow, never heard this song done that badly before. Talk about oversinging!

[Bobby61557]

I dont think shes that bad but she is trying to hard BTW My family has own three Healeys We love them 1963 1) 1500 and 2) 3000

[Moonspell85]

you are a faggot.

uli is the best, shut yoyur motherfucker mouth down

[Bilko2720]

Geez. talk about f'n up a classic. What bar are they all playing in now? Here's a hint boys - it's about the song, not YOU. Nothing like backing off a lead with that "damn I'm good" attitude. Pffft. Oh. and Prince wants his guitar back bro.

[FSMBUCKETHEAD]

uli is a legend

but that girl is a little "aguilera".

[BONGUSTHEDOG]

...a little "aguilera"??? THAT'S A GOOD ONE...lol!

As you said...Uli is a legend!

[MrDeppness]

Pretty cool take. I didn't get the whole 5 guitar thing. And oh my, how I love that Sammy Jay. What a hottie... and a sweetheart! :D

[nolslifegren]

Bloke in yellow t shirt = CUNT

[Bobby61557]

He lookslike Squiggy

[billkropp]

Yeah! But let's be honest she isn't DORO PESCH!!!!

[44Alberto]

What a great voice and feeling this woman has!

[jamesha175]

lol @ 4:50!: "hey maybe if i play really fast and make a funny face, no one will notice that my guitar sounds like a mosquito!"

why was uli on the same stage with these morons?

[PaulScullyPower]

Becuase they're his students.

[SuperLead41]

Uli is just light years ahead of the others

without even trying

[Zinder12345]

Uli is in another dimension than the other two but I liked Kollman's solo.

[caraguitars]

pkus, you can tell that the 4:50 guy really things he smoked Uli.

[caraguitars]

Wow, is this the kind of talent that Musicians Institute puts out. This must be the best if they got to play with Uli.

Look, no matter what kind of school, nobody can teach you to sound good.

Plus, can you imagine being in a band with any of these frantic solo guitarists? This band sounds like turdz. Look for them all working at a Guitar Center near you. Not one of them can even lay a groove for ULI to solo over.

[eternalwarmth]

with due respect, the crowd should have thrown the singer out. Gary Brooker must have hypertension when heard this version!

[subjulio]

the singer sucks!!!

[BIBBBO]

THE WEIRD DANCING IS SO SO SO FUNNY

[necolodian]

I was here! That girl's voice drove me up a wall...

[diabloman]

how pefrect is the angle, so that uli jon roth's guitar shines like hell during his solo?!?

some good stuff in here, 'cept maybe that weird dancing guys solo and some of the singing

[TROGGGGI]

4,50 GOD ITS SO FUNNY

[TROGGGGI]

4,50 IN THE WOW FUNNY

[TROGGGGI]

HO IS THAT GUY THAT MOVES FUNNY LIKE D.D

[jimdip21]

Francis Buchholz is uli's bass player

[klaus72]

is Francis Bucholz the bass player ?

seems him!!

[prickrick]

the Glenn hughes version is good but i think that the Hagar/Schon/Aaronson/Schrieve is the best version ( after procol harum of course).

[jazzychristopher]

have you guys ever check the cover from HSAS.. sammy hagar on vocal and neal schon on guitar.. FOR ME, thats the best cover of this song ever.. you gotta check it out guys!!

[Fischi1970]

Absolutely "OVERACTED" in anyway - but especially the SINGER! Although she has (without a doubt) a strong voice ... The original feeling´s completely missing - if you´re really looking for covers of this great piece of music (I think the original is still the best version) listen to Glenn Hughes version...

[a7fgbd]

Over-overacted, indeed. Esp. when compared with Gary's "underacted" style, where the only part of his body you see moving is his mouth (he had to! :))

[EUguitarRULE]

Ahh common this is insult to Procol Harum post the Schenkers version.

[robluk1973]

Very nice !

[chosenfool]

Anyone know who that singer is? Nice (ahem) pipes, but she did oversing it slightly.

[MSGathome4]

Sucks butt compared to SCHENKER'S version...
