SCORPIONS - speedy's coming (1974)

[@spiderpark64]

Uli Roth set the the bar high for others.His solo's were unbelievable especially in creativity.

[@EddieVanHeusen]

And he made the bar long.

I saw the Scorpions at the US Festival. They blew everyone away! Including VAN HALEN!

[@valislucious]

I was in Germany in 74 while on military duty with my husband and I remember Scorps coming to the small village we lived in and having a jam session during those days that music was known as a bunch of noise to the Duetsch people while back here in the States we were listening to Led Zeppelin & Aerosmith I regret not going to that session it was just down the street from the Kasern. They still remain being the best of the best Rock Bands in history. Klaus Meine's voice is like no other he is #1

[@rumpraisin]

I have the same regret for a band I missed seeing in 1985. There are some oppurtunities that come only once in a lifetime.

[@davidd.6448]

What band was it?

At that time though. How could you have known?

yep you gotta strike whille the irons hot,, you never know if it will come back again,, gavin rossdale of bush was here playing acoustic show i could have actually met him but supposedly it was sold out which is wasnt,, grrrrr ive seen him in stadiums with 20,000 people

Watching Ulrich Roth play is always a treat.

[@21MASSA]

Uli Roth One of the best ever. No disrespect to EVH he is one of my favorite guitarist, but Eddie fingertapped alot. I really enjoy listening to Uli Roth, it's like Ritchie Blackmore and Jimi Hendrix actually had a child together. A combination of both and you get Uli Roth.

[@ToujoursLAmour]

Uli is a badass!!! Miene has a hell of a voice even this early on.

Claus voice is amazing. The tone frequency and separation in the instruments with the mix is so rich to my ears. Love the sound of this band the production is amazing they sound like no other band.

Uli Jon Ron dive-bombing with his guitar in 1974!! That audience never even knew what the fuck hit them.... \m/ \m/

Awesome stuff. I discovered The Scorpions in the early 80s. Watching their 70s music is incredible! Scorpions definitely was Love At First Sting ha ha!

[@Manxcatstales]

What some people might not realise is the impact Uli Roth's playing had on Eddie Van Halen, especially his whammy technique. He was a huge fan a Uli's playing and Van Halen used to cover this song and "Catch Your Train" in their club days.

I don’t think it’s truly live. Towards the end he moves his mic pretty far from his mouth but the volume of his voice never changes. Either way, excellent song and amazing singer. One of their best songs.

Uli John Roth Fantastic

[@WyattScott]

man, the Scorpions 70’s albums were just fucking incredible, and Uli, holy shit one of my favorite guitarists, unbelievably great solos, so much talent in this band. And then they went for the superstardom and a more commercial sound in the 80’s, and Matthias, another great guitarist, cant blame them I would have too. But, as great as their 80’s output was I prefer their 70’s catalog.

Jürgen Rosenthal on the drums! 3/5 of this line-up including Roth & Bucholz were all from Dawn Road. Rosenthal had to leave Scorpions to do his army conscription but once he finished he joined the mighty Eloy for their golden era. The Scorps were true pioneers

This is some heavy ass music for 1974. Again, 1974! How many bands were playing tunes anywhere close to this in 1970 freaking 4? How about slim & none? Early Scorpions in the 1970s with Ulrich Roth when they were signed to RCA was definitely the bands greatest musical output.

[@billiepulera1008]

It's crazy how ULI Roth doe's so much Whammy Bar Wanging on that stock Strat bridge and it still stays in tune, but the whammy bar it's self is hugely thick and totally custom, I saw a recent Rig Rundown video and he talks about still having this white Strat, he even had extra frets added to this guitars neck before he started using the Sky Guitars. The guy was totally influenced by Hendrix but much more melodic rather then Blues based, with classical overtones as well, you can obviously hear it all in his playing. he's even is in a relationship with Jimi's old girlfriend Monica Damien who's painted a lot of his album cover art.

[@nathueil1]

I had read that the bass player was or had been a metal worker and customized that dive bar for Uli. He made it longer to help ease the tension on the bridge that Uli was adding by those insane dives. He was snapping those bridges with the standard dive bars on those Fenders.

[@Kodachrome]

Urlich Roth should be in the same conversations as Clapton and Hendrix, he was on top of his game

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

He's out of tune on this. Besides that, he isn't fit to wipe down Claptons strings. If you think Roth should be mentioned in the same sentence as Hendrix, you really are utterly clueless.

Of course absolutely no one compares to Hendrix, the greatest, most imaginative, most naturally gifted, most lyrical, cool, adventurous, creatively flowing guitar genius of all time. But Clapton invented rock guitar when he played with John mayall's bluesbreakers and Cream, yeah he never achieved those levels of creativity again, but you can hardly call the originator of rock guitar over rated.
