what a freaking treat!!! A definite blast from the past!!! Stumbled upon this guitarist while researching monika donneman...the music world is not the same from the earlier years of rock-n-roll. Uli does remind me of frank Marino, although Marino has a much fuller sound....what I can't deny is the fact this guy can play some good licks...love that fender strat...
I was listening to a satellite station in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1977 and could not believe what I was hearing! The best guitar rock I had ever heard! I loved Hendrix, Marino & Trower but this was the stuff for me. Who the hell was it? Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance & Virgin Killer all played back to back!!!!!!!!!!!WOW! I was hooked on Uli in a HUGE way! I still am !!! kneel malmsteen, you know what we all know............
I don't know where the hell I've been in my 42 yrs., but man, Uli is ahead of his time here on this video. I mean, I heard his name here and there, but I never knew how good he was/is. Thanks for the share.
This is brilliant, I saw Electric Sun a few times in the early eighties, Uli jon Roth & Electric sun was just part of life. Thanks for posting the videos.
Never knew Uli had ANY promo stuff. This stuff was pretty underground in the US when it came out. I had to buy the Japanese import version of Firewind when it came out.
killer, i can't believe how much uli and frank marino sound so much alike, they are from the same era, hendrix freaks, don't want to be in a band, they will write and sing there own stuff, this is what i live for
High Zombie true real difference is Uli is a musician whilst Yngwie is a stunt guitarist, his main stunt being playing fast & putting in a 100 notes when it only needs a few.
Hey Chuck...I have to agree..Dont get me wrong...I'm a Scorps fan, but the musical direction had obviously shifted down to different paths....All is good though...The departure of Roth has resulted in them both doing there thing... which is great music on both parts..Cheers
@jinjinou1 I love the fact that he's definitely a descendant of Jimi, but not in the sense that he just copied those voodoo blues licks, like a lot of other Jimi inspired cats.
I used to have the imports of 'Electric Sun' and 'Firewind' but . . . they went away. Someone should post "Sundown" or any other tunes from those albums.
I bought this LP right when it came out as an import... that was the only way to get it back then. It wasnt released on a US label until it went to CD - which I also have. He is one of my all time favs w/out a doubt. This tune totally blew me and my friends away when we first heard it. Thanks for posting the video.
yeah,that's correct,I had to get mine the same way,still has the blue with wht letters import sticker on top right, I try to find a second CD but couldn't find anymore,I did get it but as an remasted Import!
Pitty that the song 'Indian Dawn'is nowhere on youtube, had hoped to find it on the best off album, but wasnt there,,..a copy i couldnt get anymore in my local store..
The ending is phenominal! I had a friend back in 1980 who had one tatoo. ULI and a cross. I asked him why did you do that?! He replied, I love Uli and God.

I like him because he's still a trippy player. Difference between him and Malmsteen? Uli can actually write a song...My opinion.
HighZombiesRule 2 years ago 2
Pure genius.
The lyrics are awesome. He was so relieved to leave the Scorps & follow his heart.
I love the Scorps with Uli, but let's face it, it was a strange lineup.
For instance.
Taken By Force. The song Your Life by Uli. Then the next song is He's a Woman She's a Man. It' goes from spiritual lyrics to lyrics about a shemale.
Oh I was so sad, I thought I would go mad. But now I am free to take you into the fire of the Electric Sun.
God I love and respect Uli.
