    17th Street Guitars Page 1 of 3 17th STREET GUITARS INKS EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH LEGENDARY VIRTUOSO GUITARIST ULI JON ROTH 50 Limited Edition "Sky Guitar" Instruments Hand-Made; Each Authenticated and Signed by Roth SANTA MONICA, CA - September 28, 2004 - 17th Street Guitars, an exciting new manufacturer of electric guitars and basses, announces its exclusive deal to build Uli Jon Roth’s illustrious “Sky Guitar.” Designed by the artist himself and perfected via several prototypes by Greek-born master luthier Andreas Demetriou in England, only 50 “Sky Guitar” instruments will be hand-made for distribution. The legendary guitarist awarded the license exclusively to 17th Street Guitars to craft his “Sky Guitar” because of the company’s commitment to building instruments to the highest possible standard. U.J. Roth will personally test each “Sky Guitar” before its release. Ever since its first prototype 21 years ago, the Sky Guitar was hailed as a revolutionary design in more ways than one. The Sky Guitar was the first of its kind, which incorporated a significant number of extra frets, and was probably the first 7- string electric guitar built out of necessity. The unique and aesthetically pleasing body shape makes it possible to play top notes which equal the register of a violin, something which was unthinkable for the conventional guitar beforehand. Roth makes frequent use of this extraordinary feature, which enables him to play complete classical violin concertos, such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, without having to transpose a single note. A further vital component in the equation is the integrated, built-in ‘Mega-Wing’ pick-up system.

    Mit Neuinterpretationen von Songs aus seiner Zeit bei den Scorpions tritt Uli Jon Roth im Hebst in Hannover im MusikZentrum auf. Scorpions-Songs neu interpretiert Uli Jon Roth bringt Solo-Album im MZ auf die Bühne 12. März 2015, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Promo-/Pressefreigabe Zwischen 1973 und 1978 war der Gitarrist Uli Jon Roth bei den hannoverschen Hardrock- Größen Scorpions aktiv. Auf einigen Alben aus dieser Ära befinden sich auch zahlreiche Kompositionen des weltweit einflussreichen Rock-und Fusion-Musikers. Mit „Scorpions Revisited“ hat er kürzlich ein Solo-Album mit Neuinterpretationen einiger Scorpions- Songs veröffentlicht. Im Oktober wird Roth damit in Hannover im MusikZentrum auftreten. Bei den Scorpions war der virtuose und innovative Musiker nicht nur als Gitarrist aktiv, zahlreiche Songs aus den Alben, die, die Band zwischen 1973 und 1978 herausbrachte, stammen aus seiner Feder oder wurden von ihm mitkomponiert. Dazu zählen neben „In Trance“ und „Virgin Killer“, bei denen er als Songwriter in besonders starkem Maße beteiligt war, auch „Fly To The Rainbow“ und „Taken By Force“. Vor rund zwei Jahren, als Uli Jon Roth in Erinnerungen an seine Zeit bei der weltweit erfolgreichen Hardrock-Band aus Hannover schwelgte, kam ihm die Idee, ein Solo-Album mit Neuinterpretationen von seinen Lieblingssongs aus seiner Zeit bei den Scorpions zu produzieren. Die Doppel-CD „Scorpions Revisited“ wurde live in Hannover aufgenommen. Wenn Uli Jon Roth am 9.Oktober in Hannover im MusikZentrum auftritt, stehen diese Neuinterpretationen von Scorpions-Songs im Mittelpunkt, es ist aber davon auszugehen, dass der als besonders einfallsreich, gefühlvoll und filigran agierende Gitarrist noch einige weitere 12.

    THE PRETTY THINGS 26. September 2017 Stuttgart Goldmark's 1964 War Ein Magisches Jahr Für Die Rockmusik. Jugendrevolte, Beat

    THE PRETTY THINGS 26. September 2017 Stuttgart Goldmark‘s 1964 war ein magisches Jahr für die Rockmusik. Jugendrevolte, Beatmusik, lange Haare, Minirock; aus den düsteren Kellern der englischen Großstadtklitschen steigen über Nacht junge Musiker zu internationalen Stars auf - die Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, Who und Yardbirds verschreiben sich jeweils auf ihre eigene unverwechselbare Art dem Rock & Roll und dem Rhythm & Blues. Eine Band aber war mit Abstand die Lauteste, Wildeste und Ungezogenste: THE PRETTY THINGS mit ihrem langhaarigen Sänger Phil May und ihrem fingerfertigen Gitarristen Dick Taylor der zuvor einer Band angehörte, die sich ,,The Rolling Stones" nannte und die er mitbegründete. Kein Mensch, der die wüste Truppe in den Sixties auf der Bühne sah, hätte sich vorstellen können, daß diese Band anno 2013 immer noch existiert und spielfreudig und kompetent, aber immer noch ungezügelt und motiviert einen Livequerschnitt über ihre lange und steinige Karriere gibt. Und die bösen Buben sind immer noch schweinegut! Zunächst hatten THE PRETTY THINGS keine Schwierigkeiten, mit ihrem knallharten und kompromisslosen Sound sich aus der Masse der R & B - Bands hervorzuheben. Noch heute zählt ihr Debut-Album ,,The Pretty Things" zu den allerbesten Machwerken der Beat-Ära. Ihre Gigs jedoch - unvergessen, da auch in den letzten Jahren oft im TV wiederholt - bleibt ihr sagenhafter Beat-Club - Auftritt -endeten damals oft im Chaos. Dennoch hatten THE PRETTY THINGS damals Hit auf Hit: ,,Rosalyn" , ,,Don't bring me down"' ,,Road Runnner"' ,,Big boss man", ,,Midnight to six men" und einige mehr schafften die Top 20. Mit ihrer zweiten LP ,,Get The Picture" kam erstmals Melodie ins Spiel.
