Uli Jon Roth - Scorpions Guitarist Bio

By Nathan Spencer

Uli Jon Roth, who is a German guitarist, was born on the 18th of December 1954. He has made an immense contribution to the field of neo-classical metal music. Roth, along with some other members, and towards the beginning of the 1970s, had formed a band entitled Dawn Road. In 1973 the Scorpions disbanded owing to Michael Schenker who had left it to join the UFO. Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker , the other existing members of Scorpions, combined with the members of Dawn Road to form a very strong group. The name of this group was changed to Scorpions as it had become quite popular during those years. Thus Uli Jon Roth became the Scorpions guitarist.

Roth played the role of main songwriter, occasional lead singer and of course the lead guitarist in the four albums that were released by Scorpion during the years 1974 and 1977. Tokyo Tapes, one of the best selling live albums of the Scorpions was recorded in 1978, in Japan. Before the release of the album, Roth had left the band. Electric Sun, Roth's very own band was formed and three albums were released. The first album was released in the year 1979. It was entitled Earthquake and was dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. Fire Wind, released in 1981, and Beyond the Astral Skies in 1985 were the other albums. They were dedicated to Anwar el-Sadat and Martin Luther King respectively.

Roth, later, composed two concertos and four symphonies and had even performed with some symphony orchestras all through Europe. The name 'Uli John Roth' was used by him for all his concerts and album releases after this. Roth had even played for Castle Donington, an outdoor rock festival, in the year 2001. Later on this got released on DVDs. Roth, along with the Scorpions, featured in a concert in 2006 at Wacken Open Air Festival. Named as "A Night To Remember, A Journey Through Time" it had become a great success.

Roth is the founder of the Sky Academy and the creator of the Sky Guitar. These are in fact the best rock guitars for beginners. He had specially made custom guitars which had additional frets. Roth had five of these kinds of guitars which were made by a person of British origin and had been used by the guitarist of Fair Warning. Of these five guitars, one was fretless, another was made with 36 frets, and yet another had 42 frets. The guitar without the frets was used in the album, Beyond the Astral Skies. - 23812
