Yeah, all-time classic. That a 3-bolt neck Strat could take that much trem abuse and stay that close to being in tune...in lesser hand's it would have been a disaster.
It's funny you say that. Cause you just further proved you have a dick in your mouth because you not only can't type with it in you can read with it in. Where did I state your dick? I said "a" dick as in someone elses.
But then again you probably have a hard time reading while getting deep throated. Better luck next time.
How to describe Uli's playing.....finesse, aggression, beauty, flawless technique, lyrical, expressive, fluid, wreckless, unbelievable tone, funky, bluesy, classically influenced..........most players possess a few colors of the rainbow, he is white light. Listen to the high-E he hits at 5:37. Like having your back scratched.
Amazing version.... much better than the studio cut on my Virgin Killers LP. The Scorpions always seem to have more game when they play live, regardless of the lineup. Uli Roth, Michael Shenker, Matias Jabbs.......... are all mad men on the guitar.
@Moglichkeitz okay...not sure anyone can have their own dick in their mouth but I guess that's something you might know about, my friend........are you giving the tired old story of how someone made a simple typing mistake on the web???......that's called "reaching".....you know reaching??...like how you reach around on your boyfriend?

@Moglichkeitz my bad...you did indeed just say "the Dick".........as for getting deep throated while I typed..you're right!! and my compliments to your Mom! She is FANTASTIC!!...anyone named "Chance" has a ex-stripper for a Mother, Right?
Goddamn, that's some hot shit! Used to listen to this on my record player when I was a teen, blown away by how gigantic it was. Without question one of the greatest live albums of all time.
I had a friend who died in a car accident in 1984, we used to listen to this tune at full blast going as fast as our cars would go. It's a wonder I'm not dead too. Top speed Z28 down a 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere. I'm 43 now, and glad I don't have a son pulling the stupid shit I did. The intro is just awesome.
Tokyo Tapes is one of the best live recordings in the history of rock. Scorpions was one of the best representatives of the genre until they sold their soul to FM radio......sad, very sad......
One of my fav's off Tokyo. Lead intro and the ending are stunning. At the very beginning off the song, I'm sure Uli is just fuckin around. What a smoke down. How would you like to be in a band and try and follow that? Steam Rock Fever the CHAMPION!!!!
Just saw Uli do this @Reggies in Chicago
