Mogg: "Not really we felt that the combination of the two of us was strange enough to get something that sounded a bit different but was still a strong rock album.

Also we hadn't had a break for two years and it just looked like a good place to get away to." The band had been resident in Los Angeles for two years previous to this album.

  • SCORPIONS Lovedrive (Hard Rock)
    SCORPIONS Lovedrive (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 1979 Nombre de pistes : 8 Durée : 37' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! Bon voyage ! Avec Lovedrive, SCORPIONS entame la plus extraordinaire trilogie discographique jamais enregistrée par un groupe de Rock allemand. Sans doute est-ce dû au succès rencontré par la tournée mondiale d’où fut tiré le splendide live Tokyo Tapes et qui a enfin apporté une crédibilité internationale aux arthropodes.Sans doute également l’intégration du jeune guitariste Matthias JABS (remplaçant l’excentrique Uli John ROTH, parti fonder ELECTRIC SUN, bien que l’on ressente encore parfois son apport musical) a-t-elle eu une influence sur le résultat final. Sans doute, encore, est-ce le fait de changer de label, passant de RCA à EMI. Sans doute, enfin, que la nationalité même du groupe fut un rempart contre le Punk qui a dévasté les plus grands noms de l’époque. Les conseils du producteur Dieter DIERKS expliquent également certainement le succès fulgurant remporté par ce cinquième album studio des SCORPIONS. Tout autant que la pochette (signée par l’avant-gardiste Hipgnosis) qui, une nouvelle fois (après celle fort décriée et aujourd’hui introuvable de Virgin Killer) fait jaser.

  • Sky Guitar" Instruments Hand-Made; Each Authenticated and Signed by Roth
    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.

    UFO – Support: VANJA SKY – Kulturhaus Neuruppin – 02.08.2019 - Text: Mike Kempf - Fotos: Holger Ott Hinter dem Slogan 'Last Orders – 50th Anniversary Tour' steht keine geringe Band, als die legendäre britische Hard-Rock- Kapelle UFO. Etliche Millionen der 22 Studioalben von den 'Außerirdischen' flogen über die Ladentheke, darunter Songs wie „Doctor, Doctor“, „Rock Bottom“ oder „Only You Can Rock Me“, um nur einige zu nennen, verankerten sich unlöschbar in die Rockgeschichte und dürfte so ziemlich jedem Rockmusikfan bekannt sein. Das sie nun am 2. August in Neuruppin eines ihrer letzten Konzerte überhaupt bestreiten sollen, lässt bei uns, HOLGER und mir, keine zwei Meinungen aufkommen und ehe wir uns versehen, befinden wir uns im gut gefüllten Saal des Kulturhauses der FONTANE-Stadt. Doch bevor die 1969 gegründete Band ihr Konzert eröffneten, enterte gegen 20:00 Uhr die junge Kroatin VANJA SKY die Bühne, die uns vor ihrem Soundcheck noch für ein Interview zur Verfügung stand. Mit dem Tieftonspezialisten ARTJOM FELDSTER, dem Hau-Drauf-Experten HANS JAKOB SCHÜLER und dem 'Zweitgitarristen' ROBERT WENDT wusste VANJA spitzen-mäßige Begleitmusiker an ihrer Seite. Darauf aufbauend bekamen die Fans eine völlig losgelöste Frontfrau geboten, die sich zu meiner Überraschung mehr als Rhythmusgitarristin, dafür aber erwartungsgemäß als ausdrucksstarke Sängerin in Szene setzte. Somit avancierte der mir bis dato ebenfalls noch unbekannte WENDT nicht als 'Zweit-', sondern eher als erstklassiger Sologitarrist. Er und Drummer HANS SCHÜLER mussten in ihrer Jugend viel vom Woodstock-Feeling aufgesogen haben, denn sowohl von ihrem optischen Outfit, Schlaghose und Retro-Shirt, als auch aus rein musikalischer Sicht, bewegten sie sich viel im Stil der glorreichen 60/70-ziger Rockepoche.

Phil Mogg, Michael Schenker and the boys gave a Hell of a show. I think the monkey's name might have been Buzz, in reference to Buzz Aldrin? The husband was a photographer. There is a book talks about a group of boy trying to avoid the police cops and jumps onto a train to a place on top of a mountain. She shared them with her siblings and her two little sisters would not share them with her little brother so her little brother stole the candies and ran away. Loads more research has also gone into this new publication which is brought bang up to date with the Ronnie Romero era live shows and new songs, following Blackmore's decision to rejuvenate Rainbow in , almost twenty years on from the last incarnation that had concluded in Looking for a book about a girl who hears a voice in her head telling her to kill people who hurt anyone she cares about. Also touched upon are the band's torrid troubles with money and management and drugs and booze, as well as tour tales, album cover stories and production tips 'n' tricks. It's set around Christmas time and the plot is about a woman who receives anonymous gifts based on the 12 days of Christmas.
