Download these Mpeg's and Drool. Uli Jon Roth w/t Michael Schenker and UFO then w/t Jack Bruce. from : localhost/www.ulijonroth.com/sky/archiv...d_releases.htm

Thanx for the tip, kmc!!!

Love the white Thunderbird, hate the red shorts.

Someone on the HFC boards posted this link a few weeks ago..

Amazing how Uli has NOT changed...he still looks as youthful (and dresses the same ) as he did 30 years ago with The Scorpions...Pete Way hasn't changed either...

Schenker on the other hand....oh boy....he's just a mess....and I don't mean just how he looks...hell we all are getting older....but everything it seems has suffered in his life...his playing, his sanity, his tone.....sigh...I actually hate to watch/listen to his recent stuff anymore...makes me sad

Also...nice double stack of NMVs Uli has got

Now that is top notch guitar work! Thanks for posting the link.

What kind of guitar was he playing? I couldn't make t out (legally blind). I'm not sure if I really dig the first video... Good playing none the less.

That A Skyguitar Custom made for Uli Jon Roth by John Oram . It's 7 strings,30 frets and I think 6 octaves? from : localhost/www.17thstreetguitars.com/uli_release.html

Thanks for posting that link...great stuff!

I forwarded it to my 13 year old nephew who plays; he said quot;that guy with the beard is really good!quot;

Schenker's one of my faves but who's the fagala in the polka dots and spandex?

That would be the guy who played bass for him all those years in UFO

I think I mentioned this in the past but I passed up a chance to see Schenker play at a little roadside bar/club in a little nearby town named Yucaipa for $10 about 2 years ago. I guess I figured the guy was a mess and it wouldn't be worth it. Probably shoulda gone.

That would be Pete Way!

Pete Way is no polesmoker, he is far to screwy for that, I think he is only into aliens and chihuahuas these days. The last few years haven't be so kind to old Pete he looks much rougher than in that vid.

Oh yeah the guy with the beard isn't too bad.

You gotta admit though, he must gotten fashion advice from the Queer Eye folks...............sorry.................

he dressed that way 30 years ago...and was a huge influence on guys like Steve Harris for one...Nikki Sixx, Rick Savage, etc....where do you think the whole Stripes/polka dots thing came from in 80s metal?

Pete Way was THE british metal bassist of the time....he had the Ramp;R attitude and the cool clothes/moves. Not the best bass player in the world (at least in the technical sense)...but way cool bass player nonetheless.


I had never heard Schenker or Uli Jon Roth before.

Now I have a very serious plan of BUILDING a sky replica this summer (27 frets slanted fretboard and different layout, maybe a bit smaller too) and I want a UFO/Scorpions CD. Any advise on what I should get?

For UFO you should start with quot;Strangers in the Nightquot; Arguably Michaels peak. Personally though I think his peak and best playing was on the Michael Schenker group's quot;One night at Budokanquot;. Buy both, you wont be disappointed.

For Scorpions...Uli era would be Tokyo Tapes (live album,and ulis last with them) Mathias era would be quot;World Wide Livequot;.

Studio albums from them (UFO an The Scorpions) are a whole nother ball of wax.

Pierre...try UFO quot;Strangers in the Nightquot; and Scorpions' quot;Tokyo Tapes.quot; Both are live. I only have one of the Scorp's studio albums with Uli so someone else might be able to help there.

Pierre...you can only play a guitar like that if you dress like that.

Edit...you beat me to it, Jeff!
