I've been listening to alot of Uli Jon Roth. He's a total genius. He was once in The Scorpions and then left and started a progressive/hendrixy/jazzy band under his name. Anyone who thinks motards like Yngwie Malmsteen and Marty Friedman are/were original- should check out Uli's Firewind/Earthquake cd's. That shit was written/performed/released way back in '79!
You can actually hear where Yngwie and Marty totally stole "their styles" from. Check out the solo work in "Cast Your Chains Away"- absolutely amazing for the time. He has since taken part in the European G3 concerts led by Joe Satriani. He also has developed a 36 fret guitar! haha It sounds like a fuckin' violin! Check out the song "Pegasus Suite" and you'll hear those "notes only dogs can hear" LOL Anyway- gotta give the man props! He's so underated its sick!!!
