The word “legendary” has been used to a large extent when introducing classic rock artists, but in Uli Jon Roth’s case, there isn’t a more appropriate adjective. He had a pivotal role in the Scorpions’ early years, being the lead guitar player on four amazing studio records and the legendary live album Tokyo Tapes.

He left the band in 1978 to pursue his own vision, and became one of the flag-bearers of the neoclassical metal genre.Roth formed a band called Electric Sun which released three influential albums: Earthquake (1979), dedicated to the spirit of Jimi Hendrix, Fire Wind (1981), dedicated to Anwar Sadat, and Beyond the Astral Skies (1985), dedicated to Martin Luther King.

Since then he decided to release albums under his own name, having composed four symphonies and two concertos, toured with G3 and revisited his tenure with the Scorpions on a few tours.Currently in the middle of his biggest ever North American Tour, Roth found some time to discuss his lengthy career with our persistent collaborator Rodrigo Altaf.
