i watch this on youtubemix for Scorpions and i have listen it like 5 times already : D best band in the world.. best voice ever! will miss you Scorpions 8(!! i'm sorry that i missed your last show : / for all people of Finland i say to you! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Spirit of Scorpions will never die!!
@vivaimaiden & darkcheer. I believe Uli signed on with The Scorps for 5 albums .He really wanted to do his Electric Sun much earlier. Tokyo Tapes was a contractual obligation release as Uli's 5th LP
My Lord, look at that whammy bar? It must be a foot long...LOL Seriously, though, that is an unusually long and thick whammy arm. Check out other Strats...not even close.
@EC66OK HE WAS BREAKING ALOT OF THE STOCK WAMMY BARS,, AND HAD FRANCIS THE BASS PLAYER BUILD A CUSTOM LONGER STROGER WAMMY IN HIS ENGINEER CLASS...... HENCE THE EPIC WAMMY BAR ON ULRICH ROTH'S WHITE STRAT
@netrioter wrong about that..... this white strat he bought new in the 70's,,, in regards to the black jimi strat Yes he still owns that one iv asked him in person and that is the only hendrix guitar he owns ( has offered 10million and turned it down
@yellowraven8 lol...the hendrix estate better not know that......they sue people at the drop of a hat.I thought his butter strat was with Uli as well...that must be lost then. and what i see as far as that stuff goes is largely propaganda.
Anyone remember the old tv show,"Space 1999"?...Thought I was buying the soundtrack,got home and inside was an album called "Fly to the Rainbow".Thought I'd play it before I took it back...NEVER LOOKED BACK!...seen the Scorps 3 times after that,including 83 US Festival!..and watch who you're calling an ignorant American,restlessbreed10!...NATIVE AMERICAN PRIDE!
Most people in America didn't know who the Scorpions fucking were until Blackout but I did. The Best Of Scorpions with the scorpion on the girls ass was the one that got me... Every band dreams of making it big in America and who gives a shit if they were big in Europe. The Scorpions paid their dues and then collected.
uli is what made this band great, when he lett, they were still good, but they wrote more medlodic simple rock, never able to capture what they had with uli, he is a genius on guitar, nice video this is to,
awesome, totally awesome, this is classic, uli is king, he influenced so many players, jake e. lee, kirk hammet, yngwie malmsteen, too bad he didn't stay with them, his solo stuff is really bizzare
I wonder if Klaus still has that zebra shirt that he is wearing in this video and in the photo for the "In Trance" album. If so, he should wear it during the upcoming tour.
No. Electric Sun was the band Uli formed after he left the Scorps, the first album's title of the new band was Earthquake, and the art, painted by Monika Dannman for the cover was entitled "Rising Force", which Malmsteen later copped for the name of his band.
I have Monika's book The Inner World of Jimi Hendrix, mostly paintings of Hendrix. Her death soon after, was ruled a suicide, but Uli and others claim she was murdered.
@KurtCobain11508 I have this version on 45. I had to trade my Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies cardboard cutout for it.[It was a large coin around 2 ' in diameter]. Uli Ruled!! Most people don't even know the first 5 albums but I lived through each release. I am 54.
Sorry Harvey but pound for pound Uli Jon Roth is the best of all time. You probably haven't heard enough of Uli over the years. Not that it adds to anything but for years until she died, Uli's girlfriend was none other than the former girlfriend of the late great Jimi Hendrix. To me, Hendrix was the only other guitarist up there with Uli's talent..
I know who Uli is and he's good even great but Steve Vai hasn't got to prove anything;reverse the roles and make Vai the forgotten one by the press and media and you would have the sme people spouting about how great Vai is and how underrated he is and how he should be here or there and should be noticed more blah blah blah it's like some people love obscurity so much they even choose cars ,songs,musicians, food etc. oddly just to be different.Uli is great;Steve Vai is the best.
I like Matthias Jabs and all, but good Christ, there just is no denying the genius of Ulrich Roth. Check out his work with the Rising Forse band he formed after he left the Scorps. Truly awsome, and what an underated talent he is(and was).
I think he left because of musical differences...Uli started to develop a taste for more experimental music as seen on the work he did after leaving Scorpions...
@alkimst13 ...Strat and Charvel creations of wood, derived from creation of God. Now that we have the evolutionary obvious out of the way. The point is Uli borrowed these techniques from Hendrix, even his moves, yet he still incorporated this into his own voice, which had of classical, middle eastern influences to be blended with rock of the day.
I have ALL their old Records on Vinyl Up to Taken by Force. Tokyo Tapes is The BEST Live Album Ever.. just Go listen to it Loud.. and Turn off the Lights and Close your Eyes.. Try to Picture it.. BAD ASS Uli is a Guitar GOD !
I had never of these Scorpions songs until today being a guy who got into them because of "Rock You Like Hurricane" on MTV in the 80's I didn't realize they had a back catelouge of great songs and never having heard Uli Jon Roth's playing the Scorps sound like Ozzy's "Blizzard of Oz" bands of the early 80's 8 years before. Thanks for the upload and I will mos definately check out their stuff.
Actually folks "Speedy " was Rudolf Schenker's nickname back in those early days. They called him that because he talked so fast. Read the liner notes on Box of Scorpions and get your facts straight !
hey guys, you know Uli had a special tremolo bar, don´t you? he had it made in order to get where he wanted... to check what he wanted, go listen Drifting Sun. He beats the hell out of the tremolo!!! Amazing early Scorps stuff
They had a thing on German TV called "Through the night with..." showing artitst hanging out together. The last episode showed Uli Roth and Billy Corgan from Samashing Pumpkins hanging out at places of interest in Hamburg. VERY COOL! The two of them together on stage improvising some stuff is AWESOME. During the show the next day he covers "Robot Man" with Smashing Pumpkins and Uli Roth and Rudolf Schenker join him on stage. Uli is seems to be awesome as person, too.
this kind of music is so magic , after taking by the force scorpions start earn and make money , but never repit this great music , they where original artist
Uli said that Francis Bucholz (bass player)designed and modded the trem unit for him so that Uli could pull off his whammy bar pyrotechnics, that's why the wang bar is so big. Being that Francis was an engineer I guess he was qualified for the job and the results speak for themselves.
Same for me too; although I've had the opportunity to see Uli play at least 3 times in the last 5 or 6 years and got to meet him. How many people can say that of their favorite musicians? I'm secretly kind of glad he didn't get super big-although the best guitarists know who he is and do look up to him.
omg rude dude ive followed this band since 1975 and done hundreds of magazine articles about them over the years and speedy was uli jons nickname or at the ulrch roth you knucklehead!!!!
listen eurodope i would give you my source if i could thats none of anybodys business and yes i am a strong intelligent american born musician, an independant columnist and a reporter for several great rags throughout these great states of ours i was under contract with sony music for 10 wonderful years as a session drummer ive worked with the best and ive worked flash in the pans i dont owe you nothing you foreigner so be gone please i havent time for such. and you used the word querel are you
cont. friigin gay?? and i dont think you spelled it right can somebody spell check for us here?? you see i dont know exactly cause ive never used the word in a sentence. oh and yes i have been called speedy for my ultra fast double bass abilities thank you very much
Scorpions kick ASS. The Uli days are my favorite but the stuff from the 80's rocks too. As for the alleged rock and roll hall of fame, I live in Cleveland and refuse to go until Deep Purple are inducted. They've pretty much ignored the entire genre of metal-too busy inducting Michael Jackson. How can have john Cougar Menstralcramp be in there but not the Scorpions.
Of course some of these bands don't want to be inducted anyway because they don't want to be identified with the Hall of Shame. They figure
that it sort of takes away the underground image that Heavy Rock/Metal's always had, even though it manages cumulatively to outsell everything else and that, despite the mainstream media's ignoring it!
Did you know Deep Purple and Grand Funk aren't in either? Face it man those Rock n' Roll Hall of Shamers prefer bands whose managments kissed their asses for many, many years, and those who are P.C. Most Heavy Rock/Metal and their subgenres bands will probably have to wait until after their deaths or at least into old age like those Rockabilly guys they've inducted through the years, you hit that one on the head.
OMG thanks for posting this. I must have spent all of 1980 listening to the Scorpions. Never saw them on TV until they went pop metal. This is SO COOL to see!
Whomever is running the Rock n roll hall of fame must be biggoted against Germans. Scorpions have been eligible for 10 years now. They are still creating excellent music. Pure Instinct, Eye II Eye, Acoustica & their latest Humanity Hour 1 in my opinion are as good as their earlier creations just different. When they finally do get inducted they should have all of the players from years past on stage for a major jam fest
Right. Knowing other Rock n Roll Hall of Fame introductions, if Scorpions ever get in it will probably be around when they have been dead for say 10-20 years.
I agree lordgandor. Its sad that madonna gets into the rock and roll hall of fame. Didnt know she even did rock. The scorps are a style in thier own right. Its also a crime that thin lizzy isnt in there as well. but U2 is. its a damm shame.
If this song ever got airplay, I never heard it. The local radio station sometimes has a contest to let a listener be a DJ for an hour. I always wanted to play old Scorpions if I ever won, so people would finally hear what they never head but SHOULD have!!!!! But I bet they give you a list of 50 songs, and let you "pick" your songs.

Sure. I had the luck of getting to know their music starting from their early days, in a compilation called "Hot & Heavy", that spanned only their 1974-1977 period. Trivia: the producer of their first album was Conny Plank, the same producer of the first 4 KRAFTWERK albums, including their first hit "Autobahn". There must be something in the german water to explain these great german bands...
I agree scorps turned prep after blackout.would love to see a dark lady vid with uli and klaus duetting.Uli never got the recognition he deserved but he doesnt care he just loves to play music and believes everyone should admire each others talents. Matthias is great but Uli is ultimate.
Matthias came on time for the progression of the group (financially speaking) & was perfect for the U.S. radio marketing they wouldn't have reached with Uli - still there is now a big amount of recognition for Uli's unforgetable work with scorps, & the group became so much aware of it, that they ended up with playing more and more songs from this period (at the jealousy of Matthias : i saw both playing together, & it was so obvious!)
as far as i know, there was no video recording of it at this time...but they did play it live & unplugged 20/25 years after (in Lisboa / Lisbonne), it was filmed & set on the market as was the whole concert - they also performed in europe (at least france & germany) with Uli also around 2005, but the only videos are from the audience (pirate ones)
sorry ahole, for i didn't check all comments including yours since i post the vid...
i fact, i had to tell you K.Meine did lost is voice BEFORE blackout (hence the name of the album, & the title itself talking about his bad experience)
i fricken love youtube...i havent heard this s*it for soooo long!!! i am loving you so much for putting this up!!! thank you!! going to look for sun in my hand now...hopefully it's here somewhere! thanks again!

the funny part is "Speedy" was Rudolph's nickname back at the time, & the song refers to him!

I agree,
Scorpions kick ASS. The Uli days are my favorite but the stuff from the 80's rocks too. As for the alleged rock and roll hall of fame, I live in Cleveland and refuse to go until Deep Purple are inducted. They've pretty much ignored the entire genre of metal-too busy inducting Michael Jackson. How can have john Cougar Menstralcramp be in there but not the Scorpions.
Cheers!

Like I said before...this song is 35 years old and still kicks the shit out of anything out there today!
Anthem1976 3 years ago
Of course some of these bands don't want to be inducted anyway because they don't want to be identified with the Hall of Shame. They figure
that it sort of takes away the underground image that Heavy Rock/Metal's always had, even though it manages cumulatively to outsell everything else and that, despite the mainstream media's ignoring it!
pokbacsi100 3 years ago
Did you know Deep Purple and Grand Funk aren't in either? Face it man those Rock n' Roll Hall of Shamers prefer bands whose managments kissed their asses for many, many years, and those who are P.C. Most Heavy Rock/Metal and their subgenres bands will probably have to wait until after their deaths or at least into old age like those Rockabilly guys they've inducted through the years, you hit that one on the head.

Whomever is running the Rock n roll hall of fame must be biggoted against Germans. Scorpions have been eligible for 10 years now. They are still creating excellent music. Pure Instinct, Eye II Eye, Acoustica & their latest Humanity Hour 1 in my opinion are as good as their earlier creations just different. When they finally do get inducted they should have all of the players from years past on stage for a major jam fest

I hear you. Dude, they put MADONNA in. MADONNA? Forget that hall of fame, they are nowhere.
Diabolik771 3 years ago
Right. Knowing other Rock n Roll Hall of Fame introductions, if Scorpions ever get in it will probably be around when they have been dead for say 10-20 years.
valnik89 3 years ago
I agree lordgandor. Its sad that madonna gets into the rock and roll hall of fame. Didnt know she even did rock. The scorps are a style in thier own right. Its also a crime that thin lizzy isnt in there as well. but U2 is. its a damm shame.

If this song ever got airplay, I never heard it. The local radio station sometimes has a contest to let a listener be a DJ for an hour. I always wanted to play old Scorpions if I ever won, so people would finally hear what they never head but SHOULD have!!!!! But I bet they give you a list of 50 songs, and let you "pick" your songs.

Most people who call themselves rock fans don't even realize that Scorpions have been cutting albums since the early 70s. How sad.
wendellgee1985 4 years ago 3
Sure. I had the luck of getting to know their music starting from their early days, in a compilation called "Hot & Heavy", that spanned only their 1974-1977 period. Trivia: the producer of their first album was Conny Plank, the same producer of the first 4 KRAFTWERK albums, including their first hit "Autobahn". There must be something in the german water to explain these great german bands...

I agree scorps turned prep after blackout.would love to see a dark lady vid with uli and klaus duetting.Uli never got the recognition he deserved but he doesnt care he just loves to play music and believes everyone should admire each others talents. Matthias is great but Uli is ultimate.
dcat918 4 years ago
Matthias came on time for the progression of the group (financially speaking) & was perfect for the U.S. radio marketing they wouldn't have reached with Uli - still there is now a big amount of recognition for Uli's unforgetable work with scorps, & the group became so much aware of it, that they ended up with playing more and more songs from this period (at the jealousy of Matthias : i saw both playing together, & it was so obvious!)

as far as i know, there was no video recording of it at this time...but they did play it live & unplugged 20/25 years after (in Lisboa / Lisbonne), it was filmed & set on the market as was the whole concert - they also performed in europe (at least france & germany) with Uli also around 2005, but the only videos are from the audience (pirate ones)

klaus meine!! best vocalist to ever have lived!!!! =)
too bad the poor guys voice got jacked right before blackout, and now its not sounding to great. not to mention he gained quite a bit of weight.
but still, you gotta love 'em!!!!
