[rockandmetaljunkie]

When i listen to this song i feel like i enter into another dimension

[bkurnaz09]

Legendary Uli...

[MrPadachu]

This old Scorpions' song is magic

[DropDJam]

Those dives at the end are insane

[pavlo666lost]

here's the original song therion covered ^^

[jvegboy]

Fly To The Rainbow: SIMPLY THE MASTERPIECE. EPIC!!!

[VitoDeLaHoyaCardinal]

9 people made a crash-landing.

[andreasmage]

this is just briliant,perfect!!and i would say top 10 of all time.

[TrickTheInternet]

It's a great song, love the guitar work. It think it's a combination of Kansas, LSD, Pink Floyd, and of course Uli Roth (who's the best) and the Scorps. Thanks for the upload, one of the best songs ever.

[igoreusoudmais]

linda linda eu me acalmo ouvindo essa musica

[bloodthirst72]

This song is epic today, but for 1974 holy shit.

[darkterio]

great song tha's why i love the scorpions and the therion cover is fucking awesome \m/

[vaitudinho]

Big big big scorpions song,

[rrookie25]

i loved the pictures as well as the music

[EUguitarRULE]

acoustics is played by Michael Schenker!!!

[DaveKaiju]

This is such cool song..

[mcconn18]

Beyond epic --sadly most people do NOT know the Scorps early years.....Truly epic band --sadly they get lumped in with cheesy hair bands from the80's -- does NOT do them justice --Tru insult to this incredible band and their long jevity....and early years --so far ahead of their time --easily one of the greatest bands of all time -any genre --maybe even #1....

[kingofthedeep]

@mcconn18 Agreed. They had Uli Roth, Michael Schenker and Jabs at one time or another. Truly amazing.

Damn I wished i could have heard one more album with Michael with the Scorps after Lonesome Crow!

Oh Well. UFO is one of my favorites too.

[bergerkos]

My goodness, never knew they wrote stuff like this. Very close to prog rock I would say (positive thing in my opinion :)). Anyway, it's really COOL!

Great thanks for this video, SoundOfSilence87.

[UriahHeepisbest]

wonderful song!

[loudenvier]

IMHO, this laid the foundation for Iron Maiden's "trademark" guitar work!!!

[EUguitarRULE]

@loudenvier Well do you expect Michael Schenker wrote the song! And Iron Maiden main influence is Michael Schenker!

[loudenvier]

@EUguitarRULE Nothing else, really!!!

[AgZarp]

@loudenvier Iron Maiden transformed and evolved their sound away from this, but clearly, yes, they are influenced big time by Scorpions. But their sound is still different, and is "trademark" to them, I mean, no-one's legato is quite as good as Dave Murrays ;)

[kingofthedeep]

@AgZarp Please don't compare Dave Murray to Uli Roth. I mean really.

[AgZarp]

@kingofthedeep I wasn't comparing them as a general guitarists, but Uli Roth really doesn't beat Dave Murray in legato ability...seriously.

[Georgios00]

@loudenvier this is what I also thought, you can notice this even more in the more aggressive live version with Jabs, in Japan (1979)

[nerowei]

Lonesome...

[UriahHeepisbest]

Very great...very underrated song!

[tiborvivi]

when I lived in US i had all the Scorpions LPs (vinyls) and I even saw them in 1979 Saarbrücken (Germany). They are one of the best bands!!! Ever!

[RockCleric420]

Love the photography and song!

[ILGustavo]

Heard this for the first time, just now - who knew Scorpions had such SOUL.

[ayk9259]

amazing guitar and drums...

[DarkNomad]

Amazing song!! Blew me away!!!

[4everliveLizzy]

The guitar in Scorpions songs and Thin Lizzy songs were way ahead of their time. Lyrically early scorpions songs were not very good. I'll give them a break since theyre German. But, the musicianship was excellent.

[stevobath]

Some say Roths the 1st real pioneer of 'shredding'! WTF

[RockBlitz08]

Michael Schenker co-wrote this song with Uli Roth.

[yootesa1515]

holy shit uli god damn

[loonitikphrinj]

Fan-Freakin-Tastic always been one of my favs...

[ThorOdinFreya]

Amazing drums too...

[MrUncleharrison]

Видеоряд - говно!

[driven43]

Uli Roth dated Hendrix's ex-girlfriend. it's true!

[tsaggarucci]

@driven43 ...and they wrote ''We'll burn the sky'' in the memory of Hendrix..

[jmj5150]

Top 10 guitar solos

[GuyOnChair]

:| I Came

[musicmusing]

Uli Roth has the most unique sound that pierces your feelings in epic waves

[ThatOtherWindow]

Uli Roth has so much emotion flowing from his guitar its like..like cosmic man

[had1666]

This hypnotizes me... Lets fly together in a better world!

[TheHardRockAndRoll]

@had1666

It's fuckin' true !!!!

FLY AWAY MAN !!

One of the best of The Scorpions !!!

[johnzantey]

this song should have more than 15,000,000 views >> . << (period)

[ReformedPastorJude]

@johnzantey well said, Johnzantey!!! loved this song since my high school days

[aliceinpearlgarden1]

FANTABULOUS

[vaitudinho]

Os scorpions no seu melhor. Esta musica tem uma melodia fantástica.

[tophernates]

i bet blackmore and dio were jealous when they heard this song

[MrDonKapotis]

@tophernates well klaus never rly sang anything of ''stargazer'' level...

[kingofthedeep]

@MrDonKapotis Please

[beroth77]

@MrDonKapotis have you ever heard "now"?catch your train???

[Azurian]

This song's got a Jimi Hendrix vibe to it.

[demonhoopa]

@Azurian Urlich Roth always seemed to have heavy Hendrix influence.

He doesn't get the credit but he could have probably mopped the floor with most of the 70's guitar legends that are hailed today. Check out "Sails of Charon" or "Catch Your Train"

[bushbashr]

@demonhoopa No Doubt. They even reference him in some there lyrics

[a01543z]

reminds me flamenco!

[timovsero]

Magnifica è un sogno ad occhi aperti.

[gionexus]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

[ACUSALOCONTUMAMA]

Amazing so beatiful

[KarimAustin316]

LSD?

[kingofthedeep]

@KarimAustin316 No.Talent. Got any?

[KarimAustin316]

@kingofthedeep i was talking about the song meaning you douchebag....

Brains. Got any?

[kingofthedeep]

@KarimAustin316 LSD has nothing to do with the meaning. Maybe they had taken some before? But this is just another long line of strange, brilliant songs by The Scorpions.

Amazing band. Uli was a bit a fan of Hendrix though. Haha. I get that. If you've ever heard Tokyo Tapes you would know how baddass they were. Laters

[scorpionsG13]

only 171.029 for this epic..oh shit...ROCK 4EVER-SCORPIONS4EVER

[reginagiovanini]

Fantastic song!

SO PERFECT!!!

[pickypete0]

this is the best song ever!!!!...Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth rule the Guitar world!!! Used to crank this in the car..in my 75 Cordoba

[EUguitarRULE]

@pickypete0 this was co-written/musiv by Michael Schenker!

[pickypete0]

@EUguitarRULE I know...they should have wrote more

[mfjunior]

Bela canção!

[kylejamesvaughan]

8:31-8:38 = omg.

[scorpionsG13]

one of the best song in the history of rock music...michael shencker:music,,,uli jon roth:lyrics!!!

[ureadmymind]

So this is the same singer?

[demonhoopa]

@ureadmymind Yes that would be him.

[trashead05]

scorpions are underrated, they are one of the best bend ever.

i love this song, it's a masterpiece.

[cza1971]

Sleepy. Really enjoyed that. Thanks!

[cuckooo21]

great song...great scorpions

[mindelisas]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[soniramsonitnatsnok]

the introduction on classical guitars could have sounded a lot better in a more classical aproach..nevertheless it is superior.. this instrument was a great choice indeed

[EUguitarRULE]

@soniramsonitnatsnok well fucktard this was 1974!

[soniramsonitnatsnok]

@EUguitarRULE so what if it was 1974??

[lordjdog]

@soniramsonitnatsnok Well this was more experimental as this was the foundation of Neo Classical lol but if it was more modern it probably would have been.

[Boxer73]

maybe the best scorpions song...

michael's great acoustic plus rudy and claus great riff plus roth's psycedelic pieces....

[kmief]

thank you scorpions for this masterpiece. reminds me of the place i grew up... greetings from greece.

[LordGandor3]

I here by nominate this song in the top 100 of all time

[bushbashr]

@LordGandor3 ABSOLUTELY! FUCK YAH!!!

[aRETARTEDsquirl14]

@LordGandor3 i 100% agree with you man i recently herd this song in my dads car and i said damn this is a kick ass song and is way better then anything u will hear on the radio now a days : )

[gwdad]

I don't hear Hendrix.. my fave scorps album along with Virgin killer and In Trance.

[LordGandor3]

5:08 on I can imagine Hendrix singing this

[KosmoAntoninus]

Had no idea how a dying whale sounds like. Not bad!

[livetoshoot]

the last minute sounds like dying whales honestly

[kingofthedeep]

Sure does. Amazing guitar. A true pioneer.

[fanysep1]

good old scorps!!! this was their peak.

[SUBSTANCIANDEATH]

masterpiece

[TouchingYou]

It really troubles me when Uli goes into (yet another) total Hendrix rip off in the middle.

[turtleryan]

@TouchingYou wtf how do you figure that to be a hendrix ripoff

[kosda01]

What a magic song! Ulrich was amaizing back then with the Strat!! I wish he would do a tour with the Strat for the old stuff just once before he fades away

[luismaiden1]

q temazooo

[wladosu]

74' great music, rythm, solo....

[inmortal1411]

THIS IS FROM

"FLY TO THE RANINBOW"

[hippytripin65]

This song means something special to me. Thank you G . S. To listen to the words carefully he is missing her and all is bleak but, her smiling face is what he remembers.he does love her.

[cuckooo21]

masterpiece..

Thanks Scorpions

[marcello70YT]

Weird song.

[thyselroy]

Fly to The Rainbow Album !..

Track 7 - 1974

[DiskFunkTionaL]

Lonesome Crow or In Trance?

[igguasu]

lonesomecrow=lunacy// in trance=magic

[Vulder]

Dio...

[TrappedUnderShit]

Great Song ... Great Band...

[ruthmarysbaby]

Schön

[jones4tones]

Jimi influenced is only on his phrasing and rhythm playing, when its solo its Uli originals. This song credit with Michael and Uli played the Acoustic intro! Beautyiful player!

[IsabellaVackova]

OH BEAUTYFUL:-*

[chitownbluesy]

What a great song! You could take 99% of the garbage called music today and it wouldn't come close to this! I've seen him do it live twice. Ridiculous! He's in his own league.

[BMM051]

Therion haben den Song schön gecovert,

hört mal rein!!!

[onewayinn]

I Still Live Today , cause I like the Fade out Sky Wheel and

Cloudy Mountains

[infamousinjun]

wow. the last 2 mins of this song is one big whammy bomb. sounds cool as fuck tho

[dcat918]

Yea this is pre Van Halen and although his whammy bar effects are awesome. The explosions screams and dives all originate with Uli the master of the Whammy minus the locking nut even.

[coolgemini016]

Life is empty, can´t remember anytime before,

On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore,

Gliding through this life, and another is a child,

and we´re doing games, and losing things,

Always playing gigs.

Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright,

Where the sun is shining, in the night.

I am in disgrace, yet i see a smiling face,

and i hope you let me, share your place.

I don´t live today.

[enrealidad]

thinking it's true the Hendrix's influences (not a copy) ... I'd say this song it's pretty much than that... it insinuates heavy and power metal... 35 years ago!!!.... my gosh this guys ARE rock... (by the way... the Therion's cover rocks too :D)

[jdupnrth]

Absolutely incedible.

[igguasu]

listen how it goes..Uli's girlfriend was jImi's girlfriend and so Uli had his influence... the song we ll burn the sky was written for Jimi by his girlfriend...dunno if all this are truth, i only heard it...

[DIONORES]

They are true 100%

[igguasu]

ok thanks

[DipierroProductions]

yeah it is tru about jimi's girlfriend writing we'll burn the sky. scorpions are amazing though!

[LordGandor3]

She collaborated on the song

[AsphyxGr]

Memories of a perfect musical era with songs like this as proof , even though I wasn't born :)

[unnannonelluretra]

coooool song

[bvindh]

from 5:07, i see jimi's little wing!!!

[nunomfa]

jimi´s little wing? you are drunk.. lol this michael schenker music!

[bvindh]

i meant to say that there's a little bit of jimi's influence that was obvious at 5:07... BTW, are you sane?....LOL!...sure!!

[coupedriver]

this is not michael schenker music, he played lead guitar Lonesome Crow record.this is Fly to the rainbow record.

[nunomfa]

@coupedriver go to the scorpions site and see

[kingofthedeep]

He gets credit for writing the song as well. Although he is not on the recording.

[dejanabg]

so so great song.... :)

[1billias]

great song.i hope they play it at 8th of july in larissa greece

[xan4625]

μαλλον το παιζουνε..

[DBOEvilCondomn]

that's real songs by scorpions

why did you leave uli jon roth?

[HOTROD213]

i used to buy cocaine from jimi hendrix brother LEon-- but what does that have to do with the scorpions

I also used to fuck original Scorpions drummer Herman Rarebell 's ex wife Tamara too--

Kinda cool- ain't I?

[LordGandor3]

I had a fling with Willie Nelson`s ex she was very cool.

[aocidicoa]

I just farted.

Kinda cool- ain't I?

[HOTROD213]

only to your gross mother

[aocidicoa]

HOLY SHIT, THAT COMEBACK IS SO WITTY.

Nah, just kidding man. You suck.

[BleedBlsSdmf]

This is one of my all time fav. songs/albums

[darwin8me]

awesome songg!!!!!!

[ncwdane]

I Felt for Years they should re-release this album, Maybe do it again or not, so many scorp fans dont even know songs like "this is my Song" exist

[LordGandor3]

This album should be broadcast all over the middle east & maybe the youth would realize there is more to life than fighting

[ncwdane]

I Like that Idea

[LordGandor3]

Shout out to Scorpions , it is time for the followup to Fly to the Rainbow call up Uli & get it done .

[DrButcherMD]

its a shame the scorpions are mostly known for their 1980's power ballad bullshit! at least we'll have the classics...until guitar hero deams it marketable.

[theZodiacDigital]

and then what?? will you be unable to listen to it because its not cool anymore now that other people like it? fucking elitist.

[teaeleden]

really amazing song.... the best of scorpions

[demonhunter1600]

the pictures really go with this song

[dj44144]

I love this and I'm 15

[ytsuge]

Congratulations!

[Rauoul]

Hey Angus, this song is from 1974, when the members of Metallica were all about 11 years old. Kirk Hammett is a big fan of Roth and the Scorps. Great song from a little known but great early Scorpions album. Check out the live version of this on their Tokyo Tapes disc.

[aequus164]

ahhh fuck, therion tambien canta esta, pero al momento de ver sus letras, me di cuenta que era de scorpions, y quise comprobarlo, y si son de ellos, jajja que chido, es que la de therion esta como que un poquito mas metalera y con poder, honestamente jamas la habia escuchado con alguien que no fuera therion, pero esta tambien vale la pena, gracias bro.

thanks

[hazelmaxene]

All I can say is that Vintage scorpions are the best albums from fly to the rainbow up till tokyo tapes,you can clearly see the mystical guitar prowess of Uli jon Roth,Vintage scorpions fucking sting,I hate all their mushy albums after UJR left.

[LordGandor3]

There are a lot of gems to be found after the Uli years & they aren`t mushy Yes I`m a fan of the Uli years but Schenker & Jabbs have put out some awesome tune since then

[panosc2]

What an emotion... This song is an absolut masterpiece. It's sad that Scorpions have turned to the band they are now. For me, Scorpions played good music until Uli left them. And about a friend that talked about Therion's cover, I think it's a very good cover, with which they paid respect to this great band and song.

[highseascaptain]

It's about 1974 which is a few years before Metallica too

[aknemesist]

honestly i've never heard this song until therion covered it.
