Your music is extraordinary.From the melodies of scorpions,to the wondrous new sounds of Electric Sun, and the majesty of Sky of Avalon. You capture something I don't quite understand,but my heart yearns, and aches, in your message. All i can say your music touches me in a way that makes me want to become the best person I can be. I can't thank-you enough for giving me such beautiful ideals, God bless you now and forever. Manuel

Uli, for me you will always be the best guitarist of the world, forever, excuse my English average bad being, but in what import the fact is that for me you are the best, you are my master .... and it would like asking some tablaturas or videos of musicians' lesson that you are touched it will be possible to send to my email from now I thank!

Hello Uli,
This is John who came down to the Santa Rosa California show. It was great to meet you (wish could have talked in private) Anyway I myself have been a vegetarian for over 18 years. I also do not have kids because I think the world is very over populated.I was wondering what your views on these topics are? Also I have both of your new CDs and the one from Japan has some excellent views of the world from you. How come this is not in the US version? I think the over populated world is ruining are natural resources and other living creatures that are just as important in this eco system. I also think over population makes things less special. I would love to hear your views on the above. Thank You and Happy New Year. John S Lyson

Hi Uli,

I bought "Under a Dark Sky" at your Concord concert. The last song cuts off before the song is over. How can I get a replacement CD? I posted two months ago, but my posting is gone and nobody emailed me.

Dear Alan,

Dear Uli, I´m the vice-president of brazilian Scorpions fan club. We would like to know if you may give us a short interview (by e-mail) to be published in our website (www.scorpions-br.com). I´m thinking about to a picture of you and your fantastic new cd "Under a Dark Sky" in the first page of the site. Thank you very much. Luciano.

Uli - I want to thank you for your amazing talent and wonderful music. I'am a longtime fan going back to 1980. I Missed your Northern California Concerts back in September. I'm very sad about this. Would you please consider coming back to Northern California in 2009? I check your website every week for the latest news.

Kindest Regards from a longtime fan -

Charles Hrepcshak - Martinez, California

p.s. - I'd love to see you do collaboration with Neal Schon & Jonathan Cain of Journey. The 3 of you are amazing musicians.

I have a 12 year old daughter that's into music. Do you teach Piano, Keyboard, Flute and singing at Sky Academy?

Dear Uli,
Thank you very much for great shows in Japan. I just want to ask you that when 12th Nov.2008 last concert in Nakano Sun Plaza, before you play "Fire Wind", you mentioned that these songs are not playing much often since there were few requests.
However, as I look at website of your fans, many people wished you to ply more and more songs from Electric Sun era. If you will be able to come back to Japan again, please consider playing more songs from Electric Sun. I suppose it will make many fans happy inn here.
I am always appreciate your music.
Hope to see you again soon.
Sincerely,

Yae

do you have the set list for hammersmith apollo in oct 2008. you also said you were touring the uk in 2009 do you have any tour dates.i thought the set was blinding and i am sorry to say was better than the scorpions.

Hallo Uli,

in der aktuellen Gitarre & Bass erwähnst Du ein Sustainor Pedal von einem Hannoverander Techniker. Ich habe starkes Interesse an diesem Effekt. Würdest Du mir verraten, um wen es sich handelt umd mir seine Kontaktdaten zukommen lassen? Das wäre echt nett.

Danke & Gruß,
Uli

hi uli,
liebe grüsse erstmal aus dem fernen lindlar.
eine info für dich: ich weiss nicht ob du schon mal was davon gehört hast, hier gibts ein internetportal namens meinvz, da gibts jetzt eine fan seite zu dir.
deine info für mich: wann haben wir hier im rheinland die möglichkeit dich zu sehen????

viele liebe grüsse

klaus

What is the significance of f#?
In my training it is green with the significance of Venus. That doesn't fit the context of your lyrics at all!

Please hurry up with the second Symphonic Legend, I don't want to live in the shadow of the first any longer than needful.

Your Sister in Light,
Ellen

Hi Uli, My husband and I caught your show at the Sellersville Theatre in Philly PA. Awesome show, but we were wondering if you were planning on playing in Harrisburg PA in the future? We loved to see your show again.

Uli, this is not so much a question as an observation: my brother and I saw your show in New York and we were blown away by "Under a Dark Sky" and the intensity and power of the live perfomance.
Far beyond the virtuosity of your guitar playing, your ability to compose orchestral, rock and "new school" (Sky music) shows your sustained dedication
to elevating the art of communication. All of us who
witnessed the tour, say Thank You for the depth of your multi-dimensional inspiration!!!!!!!

I would like to comment on your response to question # 99, if I may. There is a verse in the Bible that says if these days were not shortened, there would be no flesh saved. Astrologically speaking, this is happening right now. It is your generation that these outer Planets are setting off in a powerfully positive way RIGHT NOW. Normally it doesn't happen til later in a persons life. You are making all the difference. Ellen

Hi, Uli!

Can you please tell me the names of all the musicians/band members you have playing with you on this current tour? I want to "google" them and see if they have websites. I saw you & your band twice in California (September 27-28, 2008 to be exact), but--my apologies--I don't recall their names. Thank you!

October 2nd 2008

Hello Judy,

here they are:

Mark Boals - vocals
Liz Vandall - vocals
Michael Ehre - drums
Corvin Bahn - keyboards
Niklas Turmann - guitar, vocals
Martin Motnik - bass

Hallo Uli!

So nun ein paar Fragen von einem aus good old germany.
Und erstmal ein dickes Kompliment zu deinem Gitarrenspiel.
Wie betrachtest Du Hendrix Einflüsse auf dein Gitarrenspiel? Welche Einflüsse hattest Du noch so?
Was macht für Dich das Gitarrenspiel lebendig und lässt es atmen? Was inspiriert Dich ?
Was denkst Du muss man als Grundstock des Leadgitarrenspiels beachten scalen lernen erst Moll dann Dur ?

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland !

Dein Fan

Pascal

Ps: spiele auch Gitarre in einer Band jedoch komme ich momentan von meinem Spieltstatus nicht weiter, leider :-(

Hello Uli,

First, I'm very proud to have met you on your French Show in Paris in 2004, I still remember that I've said it was the best ever We'll Burn The Sky I've ever heard ! And I'm very proud to have a picture with you !

There was a rumor (some years) on the official Scorpions Website, that on the track: THE SAILS OF CHARON, Rudolf Schenker don't want to play that song, and you were the only one to play it. Is this Right or Wrong ?
Thanks, don't know if this question has ever been said ?
I would like to know if TOKYO TAPES was Video-recorded, or if you know if it exists a Video Recording of the shows given on april 1978. If yes, will it be release one day ? Thanks
I would like to know, during your Scorpions Era, if all the songs written were released, or if there are some unreleased songs for Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, Virgin Killer and Taken By Force albums. if yes, do you remember numbers of unreleased songs by album. Thanks
Drifting Sun is one of my favourite song of your Scorpions Era (with The Sails Of Charon), Do you think that one day, you will play it again or re-recording it ? If you come back soon in France (hope in 2009) Will you play those songs : Drifting Sun, The Sails Of Charon (of course), Evening Wind. Thanks
Do you think about re-recording songs like Evening Wind, The Sails Of Charon with the Sky Orchestra ?

Hope to see you very soon !

I will be attending your Sky Academy Events in California as a guest with a friend. I would like to humbly ask if you just might give all in attendance the chance to hear you perform what I think is a GREAT and Unforgettable and moving Piece named I'll BE THERE! THANK YOU

Dear Uli,

Thank you very much, Uli !!!
I'm very happy by release of the album and a tour of Japan. I think so special this year. I am cloud nine! Are you doing anything special to celebrate ?
Is there the plan of the DVD release that celebrated this anniversary day ?

All the best

Ayako

hi uli andy once again i was wondering if you played anything from the lonesome crow album with the exception of in search of the piece of mind live

Uli,Uli,Uli......NO Seattle show again??? C..Mon
Seattle would be better than Idaho!!:)Well I am planning on flying down to the Ventura,Cal show and do hope to at least finally meet you. Anyway could you post a discription of your studio and some pictures! I myself have a Trident 80B in my studio and run iZ Radar machine. I highly recommend you check them out! As always ,you are a very inspiring
and kind soul! Hope to see you soon, John Stephen Lyson

hi uli i was wondering if when you were with the scorpions if you did the sails of charon or ive got to be free live

August 25, 2008

Hello Andy,

The answer is "No". There was a promo video of "Sails", which was produced in Bremen, early 1978. "I've Got To Be Free" was only performed as a playback for a TV show in Tokyo once.
Both of these songs have since been performed by my own band, though, and will be part of the repertoire for the up-coming tours.

Dear Uli.
I got tickets to see the scorpions gig in newcastle in october, and came on your web site to see what you're up to i noticed you were supporting scorps october english gigs, i was delighted and thrilled because i saw you play with them in manchester last year and believe me it was nothing less than a magical experience seeing and hearing you play for the very first time, the scorps have been my favourite band for over 30 years now and it was a sad day when you left, i truly loved the sound when you were with them so to see you play those GREAT songs was an honour for me. However my heart sank when i read on another question that you couldn't actually make the newcastle gig, i can't afford to come and see you play another gig sadly, sorry this has been a long read for you and there is no question, just wanted you to know that i love your music and think you're a real smashing bloke and to wish you all the best for your tour, lots of love Uli, Clint & Tee.

August 25, 2008

Dear Clint,

I'm very sorry to hear that! When we signed up for the tour it was already clear that we wouldn't be able to make Newcastle, because of our show in New York the day before.
Somehow it got advertised wrongly by somebody along the line.
If it makes you feel any better - we're planning a tour of the UK with my band for the first half of 2009. I would be extremely surprised if Newcastle wasn't included...

Will you ever come to the Southern US? You have done several North American tours in the past few years. None of them ever come close to the South. Usually the closest location is about a 10+ hour drive. Any plans to ever com to Atlanta, or even Nashville? You have fans here dieing to see you live!

Date of answer:  August 22nd,  2008

Hi Alex,

The routing of this tour didn't allow us to go South, as much as we would have liked to. We will try to include it next time.

How fine is the line between musical genius and madness?

Hi Uli, great to see you are supporting Scorpions in the UK in october, but notice Newcastle is missing from your web-site gig list, is this an oversight or because of the long trip back from the USA prevents your band from playing ? I hope its a mistake...lol,

Date of answer:  August 22nd,  2008

Dear Brian,

Unfortunately you are right with your assumption... we would have loved to play the Newcastle Show which you're referring to, but we are on the flight from New York.
Sorry - we just can't make it. Therefore the first show is in Glasgow on Oct.13th.
Bring back Concorde...

Dear Sirs.
Please let me Uli stands right side or left side on stage from the audience in fothcoming Japan tour.

Regards.
Hideo Kawamura

August 22nd, 2008

Dear Hideo,

Normally I am standing more towards the left of the stage, but sometimes in the center.
See you in November!

y arnt u not playing newcastle this year

Please, refer to my answer from August 22nd.

You first intrigued me and caught my attentin when you did the short guitar solo in the song 'Your Light' on the Scorpions Album Taken by Force. I recently become aquainted with your spiritual journey here on earth and find you to be an amazing intriguing enigma. Have you ever been touched by a fleeting wisp of air and decided to take a moment to linger. I am not a jet setter nor do I have the means presently to travel outside this country to see you perform. Would love the chance to catch your act if the opportunity would present itself in the states. Anything coming up near me. You do not play the guitar you are the guitar. It is your living, breathing soul. That is why you are magnificant! You have the gift! I would feel it an honor to be able to see you and attend a concert sometime in the near future. I see that you do not answer many of the questions posed and would find in an unexpected pleasure to hear personally from you. A dandelion.

Uli I am Jewish, and was wondering if you are also Jewish. Do you think Eddie V is overrated? Is Yngwies music as complex as it sounds, and why doesn't he get the respect he deserves. As much as I love michael Schenkers music, I feel you are a better Axe man. Thanks.

Hello Uli! Just wondering if you are ever considering releasing the Legends of Rock 2 performances? Yourself and Frank Marino are my favorite musicians on this planet.plus I do know you and Frank are friends. Also maybe you both can get together on a U. S. tour, at somepoint on the near future, anythings possible. So long Uli you and family take care! Hope to see you again in the future.

Mike

Hallo Uli!
Sicher kann ich meine Frage auch in Deutsch formulieren: Es soll eine Aufnahme vom hochverehrten Herrn Pavarotti und Dir geben. Diese Verschmelzung stelle ich mir großartig vor. Kannst Du mir irgendeine Quelle nennen? Dibt es diese Aufnahme überhaupt auf Tonträger? Ich würde mich ganz toll über eine Nachricht freuen.
Wenn alles klappt hören und sehen wir Dich am 2.Weihnachtsfeiertag, Vorfreude-schöne Freude!
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Sachsen
von Peter und Ina

Dear Uli,
You probably don't remember me,I'm Efi,the girl who couldn't stop singing the songs you played two years ago in Thessaliniki and in Athens. This summer when you came again with Scorpions I couldn't make it to see you because I was very ill and unfortunately a dream of mine didn't come true...Anyway,what I want to ask you is if you're planning a sooner or later concert back in Greece because I really missed you and your music!
Take care!
God bless you!

Dear Uli, I have been respecting your music for about over 30 years by now. When you come back Japan again? I am very much looking forward to seeing your sky orchestra in Japan. Best regards,

Mr Roth,

I have always been fascinated (and often critical of) the tone of various instruments, particularly in the stringed family. Needless to say, I find that the "singing tone" achieved by the sky guitars in your possession to have the greatest tone of any instrument I have ever heard! And so, I wish to inquire about the fabrication of your "stradivarius guitars" (as I have often thought of them). What sort of woods, metals, etc. are used in building them? I'm not interested in going into business building my own sky guitars, but I find oh so little information on them. I cannot even seem to find the luthier who built them for you! It would seem like they truly did fall out of the sky...

Mr. Roth,
I have been a fan for years now and have to say that you are one of my favorite guitarists. I have seen you perform with the Legends of Rock in Cambridge England and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The night I saw you perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons and jam with Jack Bruce and Clive Bunker to perform Cream songs is one of the main topics of conversation whenever I speak of great concert experiences. My question involves the latest Scorpions tour. I am curious to know if you are appearing at the Las Vegas show tomorrow night. I am very interested in seeing them again, but a positive answer to this question would definitely be added incentive for me to attend. I have been on various websites to get a clearer answer, but have been unsuccessful. I am very interested in all the new music both you and your former band are still performing, unfortunately, I never had the chance to see you all on the same stage together. Also, I missed your SKY academy show last August in LA and was wondering if there are any chances you would bring this show to Vegas. Thank you for your time and please continue to make the brilliant music you have provided us over the years.

Any chance of the recent Sky Academy shows being released on CD, and /or DVD? I have been a fan of your playing, writing (music and lyrics) since 1976. Sadly could not attend the shows, but was blown away by the setlist when I read the reviews.

Thanks!

What a fantastic time at the Sky Academy show Saturday night!! I was wondering if I could find out the complete set list for Saturday's show?

YOU ARE AMAZING!! THANK YOU!! Wendy

hi uli, first off i would like to thank you for enspiring me into such a different and unique style of playing in todays world. i believe as a guitarist it is great to learn as many styles and things u can on your chosen instrument. my question is this... is there any chance of having part of one of your tours down here in australia?? hopefully in melbourne:).. it is hard to find good gigs to see now adays... but being of the younger age of 17 i find it difficult to get into over age gigs which usually frequent my town...

uli, you seem like a thoughtful, caring individual , who happens to be the most original pioneers of rock guitar---- do you beleive in god and the bible and christs desire to have a relationship with us on this planet, his gift of eternal salvation?

On the song "Intrance" from your SCORPION days..

Did you use an OCTAVE box and/or a Harmonizer for the Lead solo? How do you get that sound??

Those are the COOLEST Descending TRILLS I've ever
Heard!!! Thanks for the inspiration!...AND the Cool
web site!! -JR-

Jon - All I can say is your lyrics for Astral Sky strike a chord. I am, like you an artist. I am involved in the English crop circle art movement, I am not a musician. I am currently a graphic designer for UK government. I am creating a graphic novel called 'Unified Field Objective'. Your lyrics 'Astral Skies' strike a chord and I would like to use them in the novel. I haven't even heard you sing. I have only just found your web site, but have known your lyrics since the mid nineties when I found them in a UK Mac magazine. I would love to reproduce them on the forward of my novel given your permission. I will endeavour to hear you sing.

After listening to your music for years and seeing the symbolism on your work, I was curious if you were involved with Freemasonry? I myself have studied this subject deeply the past year and was intrigued if you had any experience or involvement with Masonry? Thank you
