Musikladen TV was the German version of Pop Of The Pops in the 70ies and our performances of Sails Of Charon looked flashy, didn’t it?

Why, in 30 years of existence on this planet, did no one ever tell me about this Masterpiece!?
Sorry, I should have told you. Been listening to this for 37 years. Saw them in Germany back in 83. Check out all their old stuff. It is very good and different.
@@freethinkerer definatly will!
You have been under a rock man.
I never knew it either and I’ve seen the scorpions 5 times .
Well, don't lose another 30 years and go listen to stuff like Granicus - Prayer and Leaf Hound album "Growers Of Mushroom"
This is one of those songs that after hearing it once, its never leaving your head lol. So ridiculously memorable.
Haha exactly, happened to me too. Saw it once on Instagram and now I can never forget it.
my very favorite song of scorpions...ti'll now at the age of 52 still listening to this stuff..old but gold❤
52 years old here too and I’ll take this banger 1000x over any of the garbage they call music these days
so good with uli roth on lead guitar...nothing they did after animal magnetism "1980" was any good just commercial crap :)
70’s was the best decade for Scorpions music, at least it’s my favorite.
The riff is honestly one of the coolest things I've ever heard. And the harmonic minor shredding, not one wasted note.
try also Highway Star from DP
@@tothandras1741 well Ritchie Blackmore is a legend
Ikr
He's got that voice that matches the rest of the crew
Its phrygian
80s Scorpions is good, catchy arena rock. But 70s Scorpions is magical stuff. Heavy, dark, other-worldly.
Indeed.
Agree
Well said
100%
you'r right.
My GOD!!! that guitarist is dreamy.❤❤❤
There's always that band or artist who are known for that one or 2 hit song until you dig through and find something WAAAaaaay more better than their greatest hit.
Man, that opening solo never gets old, such a badass piece of music right there.
You know it!
🤟😝🤟
I listening to it all the time. It’s great.
Man, that opening solo never gets old, such a badass piece of music right there.
@@jfk19780 ?
Uli Roth playing this solo in '78 has got to be one of the most metal moments in metal guitar history..
Uli for the win. Legendary guitar guru.
Almost as good as CC DeVille...lol
He's absolutely terrific. And he's just so calm while playing, just a smooth, cool cat.
Absolutely face melting
The solo was very much ahead of its time.
I have been in love with this song since the day it was released. I could listen to that rhythm guitar all day long, it is an amazing, underrated, underplayed, underappreciated masterpiece!
I love Uli John Roth’s calm, in-the-zone demeanor. Then, there’s his playing. No words for it.
Yes your right, just my boomer opinion!😂
Tranquilo .????
Ésta poseído , por él mismo !!! 😂😂
Siempre perfecto !!! qué placer oírlo !!! 🎸🎶
@@alglen9208boomer?
I'm 40, huge music nerd of all genres, and that opening solo is quite possibly the best solo I've ever heard in my life. No words is correct.
@@boomer9341 yes I'm old, been around awhile. I guess that's what we are called now a days.
I'm with some others on here, I've listened to rock my whole life and I've never heard this before, I was just watching a video interview with Warren De Martini (hope I spelled that right) guitarist for RATT and he was talking up this song so I just searched for it , I've listened to it probably 10 times and I'm totally blown away by this absolute treasure, my new favorite song, going to blast it out to a bunch of my buds and see who else has never heard it, just phenomenal,
Be safe all , AND ROCK THE F ON!🎸🧞♀️👍
What a voice Klaus Meine had those days...!
Funny how most people only know scorpions for "rock you like a hurricane " when they had earlier stuff like this that is just face melting awesomeness
Absolutely right!
I love the older songs the best but then again, Lovedrive is one of the best albums.
Michael Shanker is badass!!
Fly to the Rainbow album is always my favorite album ❤💋
gotta love rudolph schenker, but uli john roth was him.
@@huntsie I once saw someone wrote that Uli Roth has the “Power of the Turquoise “
Lol 🤘
My face melted discovering Uli Jon Roth era scorpions
Only Stateside. In Europe, and Japan, the Roth years are appropriately revered as they should be.
Wtf? Dude this puts the Scorps on a completely different level. This is badass and I have never heard it. God damn i love the internet
They've always been on the level...just always and still massively and unfairly underrated
Never lose that enthusiasm, my bro. Made me laugh out loud, cause I get it. Uli is letting it be known, melting faces.
Hell yeah brother
Their 5 albums before Lovedrive, when they started gaining popularity, are a bit overlooked, and mostly only cherished by us 70's hard Rockers who knew about them before they got popular. Check out "Speedy's Comin'", "Top Of the Bill", "They Need A Million", or "In Trance"..
uli john roth....one of the most UNDERATED guitar players ever
The bends at at end of that intro solo are simply unbelievable
What color is the sky on your planet? Uli was never underrated.
He really is.
The guy was a known guitar god🤣
Hahaha underrated... omg you are talking about a guy who is mentioned as a great influence from ALL the guitar gods of the 80s (and not only)!!
Roth has got to be the most underrated guitarist of the 20th century,..... phenomenal
It blows my mind that he's not in the list of the most well known players. He came along at the right time for his playing, was doing the popular thing, was in a band people know, didn't wash out of playing, I guess some people just don't want to be a big name.
VITO BRATTA (White lion) to Eddie Trunk " i could'nt live without that song"
@@frankwren8215 To be fair, music critics and average listeners sadly don't appreciate art when they hear it. And I know music is subjective but it's still bullshit
Uli Roth is a very underated guitarist!
Anyone ever see someone play it perfectly besides him?!!! There's a reason for it🤘
Ashamed that I've only heard this until a clip on IG came up. This to me, is superior to their more famous work. This is sublime.
Agreed! That's how I came to know about it a few months back. I'll do you a favor and recommend something I found last night in related videos, another great song of theirs, called "Polar Nights". I saw a video of them performing it live in 1977, and it features UJR on lead vocals as well. Very Hendrix-like.
Same with me man. It’s never too late though I guess! 😂
Same with me 😢
Same
Whoa the matrix brought me here too 😊
1975-1982 Scorpions = untouchable.
I almost died a few weeks ago, not even kidding this song played through my mind when I was in the ICU. Music is life, this song is fucking magic.
Oh my ... Glad you are better now. ❤
dont get on charons boat
Here's to your improvement, fellow music lover.
I swear Uli is the most relaxed rocker I have ever seen. Amazing.
The most under rated guitarist ever. I love his playing.
Although he obviously plays rock and roll, he is NOT a rock and roller. He is a musician that plays rock and roll. Probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but me.
@@stormbringercoming8105 for me, it does!
@@stormbringercoming8105that makes perfect sense. Well put.
he was relaxed as one could prove by watching other live footages of him playing but this is playback for some TV show.
This song rules and the guitar playing is awesome. And it has a Dio/Rainbow vibe all over it. This is a masterpiece.
and Rush for that matter
Legend has it Uli drew his astounding guitar abilities directly from the power of turquoise jewelry.
Best comment yet...
well we can all rest easy knowing its not humanly possible to shred in such a psychotic manner without some cosmic assistance
The stone shines into his third eye and the magic ensues
That doesn't surprise me at all
He just plays the guitar and I say he is the ULTIMATE guitar player! Guess I he was just little
Classic Hahaha, he must have.
There are a lot of phenomenal guitar solos. That said, Uli Jon’s solo in Sails Of Charon, in my book, ranks among the greatest rock guitar solos ever!
well said. can't agree more.
No has escuchado He is Woman, She is a Man .. el solo está exitante..
Scorpions Live At Grugahalle Essen, DE April 26, 1975 HQ Improved Audi
We'll Burn The Sky#1 Sails#2
I completely agree 👍
Agreed 120%. That tune w/the guitar solo is just unique and different from any other songs of any band even the Scorps. A class act of/and of its own!
Great song!! what a guitarist Uli Roth!!
Can't tell you how much I love this performance. it's got the lot. Spandex leopard print pants, platform boots, camp dancing, killer tune, mad video effects., pointy guitars AND a gurning drummer God bless 1970's German top of the pops.
Great comment. I discovered Scorpions around this time via Tokyo Tapes but in those days there was no way of seeing videos like this. I saw them live for the first time in 1979 but by then Roth had left and they'd started to evolve into the slick hard rock band that brought them so much success in the 80s.
It checks all of the boxes 🤘🤘
Uli is just an absolute MASTER of the craft. Look at him, just hanging back, so humbly relaxed and eyes closed while ripping out some of the most incredible, complex, beautiful shredding ever done by a man. No big ego and nothing to prove. Just at total peace, at one with his craft and the universe. It is truly astounding. We have so much to learn from him...
As if he saying, I can play it in my sleep
Eddie Von Grape You're the reason I put the guitar down. Hope you're happy with yourself...
@Mark Worley I was being sarcastic...
Absolutely right, he did something arrived in 10 years from that time, shredding in the seventies, amazing
I thought the exact same thing.
The early Scorpions kicked ass!
I discovered this song by accident a few years ago. It became my favorite Scorpions song.
What a f... Piece of art🤘. So ahead of it's time. Its definitely a hidden gem. At least for me.
Er market, have loved it ever since!!!!
Saw them in the80'swithout knowing who they were and then ran into winds of change at the su
This is my new favorite song
love the ease Uli John Roth performs one of the most badass solos ever like he's having a cup of tea
amazing how many people dont know about this piece of PERFECTION!
That's because the radio stations only play their 80's stuff. Albeit good stuff, but tired of hearing it.
@@ericp.1508 when this was recorded we were listening to underground college radio playing the rare "lonesome crow" , we didnt hear fly to the rainbow or in trance till 1980. And this was in so Cal.
music that is mind opening doesn't fit the agenda of the fools that worship the "king" of lies and deceit
Fully admit, Rick Beato's channel brought me here today.
I'm not really a fan of the Scorpions' '80s reverb-y production, but this song is dry as a bone and it ROCKS. That is one hell of an opening solo.
@@ericp.1508 Actually heard this song in an East German radio in the early 80s
Jesus why in the 39 years on this earth I’m finally listening to this masterpiece! 😢❤
Uli Jon Roth does NOT get the credit he deserves when we discuss the greats. It’s amazing to see where Uli took the guitar. No one was doing that at the time. Then he passed the torch to Yngwie who passed it to all the 80’s shredders.
There hasn’t an intro that can beat this song’s to date. Absolutely mind blowing!!
Have u listened sun in my hand? another uli roth epic work
Cool little outro as well! 👍
Ii agree
Face-melting guitar action
Sweet child o mine....I know everybody has listened to it way to often and it has an High Annoying Love/Hate Factor........but that’s an Iconic Intro Lick and Nr 1 Hit. Remember when you heard it the First Time.
Jesus...I can not get enough of 0:00 to 1:25. Groove and neoclassical. Mind blowing metal.
ULI FKn Crhist!
It's on constant repeat for me. Obsessed with this.
I agree with you Cosmo
psuengineer84 song basically ends at 01:25 for me
The note at 1:15 is tremendous.
currently the love of my life plays and practices this song! This is legendary
When this aired on German TV I was eight years fourteen days old. I was lucky enough to have an Uncle that liked many genres of music. I credit him with my eclectic taste in music. He said many times, "If you enjoy listening to it, everyone else's opinion is irrelevant."
That is extremely well said!!!!
@@danacoleman4007 Thank you.
Been listening to Scorpions since I was a kid but I was today years old when I discovered about this song wtf this is majestic
Anything from Roth years is a gem tbh
Majestic is the perfect word for this
same...and a whole year later for me after you posted 😄
Same. It seems to be a running theme. We all have been missing out.
I actually did a tour and album with Michael Schenker.
I feel so blessed to have been able to work with him
Imagine having nothing but such a TV show with all the pop music, and then... once in a while something like THIS drops. And you think your head and your heart explode.
Pop's for gay, real men listens to classical metal
@@pau.c_himself Scorpions would be ashamed of you. I bet there are a lot of gay men who love classic metal and a lot of "real men" who love pop shit.
@@pau.c_himself so what about men who listen to rap/hip hop ? Are they doomed to destruction as well ? Lol
@@pau.c_himself do you know that Rob Halford of Judas Priest is gay?
日本でもロックは死にかけている、あにめとゲームの中でかすかに生きている。
この頃のスコーピオンズは最高や！👍
The greatest song by Scorpions
everything in this song is just face melting , the screeching vocals , blazing guitars , the groovy bass line and those thunder drums
This song is one of the greatest inventions by human beings.
1978 the guitar playing solo at the beginning is considered the inspirational gold standard for heavy metal guitar playing in the 80's 90's and Beyond
Agreed! Amazing and so clean as well.
Uli and Frank Marino were the guitar heroes of that period.
Yeah me too listening. 4m Bharat. 🤘
sounds very baroque. one could easily think it's a guitar version of a classical music.
It's actually a 1977 release. It snuck in there a week before Christmas, I think it was. But it was actually recorded back in June '77 and Roth had already written the song years before. In other words, he's a genius way ahead of his time and still underappreciated to this day...
Straight into those Marshalls with no processing. Cords not even touching the ground. LOVE IT.
Wasn’t he playing the Hiwatts? RIP ears.
They're lipsyncking to the record.
@@mdavis2703 Yeah, its not live,
Whaaaa?? This is absolutely amazing. 50 years old, and I’ve never heard this magical era of this incredible band. Buying this album right now.

Timeless.
Exactly the same for me!!!!
I'm 62, where ya been.
The Scorpions were founded by Rudolf Schenker in the mid 60s. Check out fly to the rainbow with a 15 year old Michael Schenker playing lead guitar for his older brothers Scorpions.
Always so nice to scroll through the comments and see everyone so into the music. Music can just bring the world together ✌️🧡🫠
70's Scorpions are a major revelation for me! Love it!!
Can’t get over this song . Listened to it 16 times today. I can’t believe the groovy on this .. insane !
That riff is stuck in my head for forever
exactly.. me too.. i will never get over it. more than mindblowing .. the only one who iis on that solo nowadays is no other than Ritchie Falcon Faulkner of Judas Priest !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐾
Me too. So wonderful.
Totally agree
@@esmeraldakhan I saw Priest on the Firepower tour and Faulkner blew me away. He killed it
Ok first of all. This song is amazing. The most underrated Scorpions song in existence. Secondly. I strive to dance like that in any situation. Thirdly, that guitarist gives no fucks and rips you a new one at the same time. LOVE IT
Yes!!!! Agreed 💯
DUDE RIGHT NOW HE STILL PLAYIN LIVE SHOWS BRO GO SEE HIM IGHT NOW IN YOUR TOWN!!!
Lol
the most underrated song ever for me atleast
Your comment is awesome!
The amazing guitar, the groovy dancing, everything about this is incredible!
Muy bueno, has escuchado esta misma canción pero el cover de Testament? Hazlo
It's a perfect video and a perfect song.
I love Rudy and Klaus's platform shoes! So 70's!
Everyone else is looking all mean and aggressive
And Uli’s like: 😌🤚🎸🤙
And Klaus is like: 🕺
Oh yeah.....Uli is like.....I got this!
Hahajajjaajaaaa!
He had that Billy Squire marching stomp thing, or rather Billy may have seen this for inspo. Jk, rockin' out with disco boots has been around since boots went on feet.
Hell yes
Thats actually pretty accurate lmao

Can’t. Stop. Watching. Must watch at least ten times a day! Found this about a month ago. Was having a shit day, fighting with my husband. Found this, sent it to him (he was at work), and said “let’s make peace through metal.” We did! Thank you, Uli Jon Roth, for writing this song, recording this performance, and playing so damn effortlessly ❤️
I’m gonna reply to myself because there’s so much to say! I’ve watched/listened so many times… I love how here are five manly German guys, all in heels. I love how Herman Rarebell’s default is saying “F*ck! F*ck!” I love how Francis Buchholz always plays at the bridge of the bass with his mouth wide open. I love how Rudolph Schenker keeps impeccable time but is always dancing around, just about to fall. I love how Klaus Mein sounds! Small but mighty, he’s got the moves and always knows what to do with his hands. And Uli. So smooth, as if turquoise jewelry and bishop sleeves give him mystical powers. This is the best thing ever. This is neoclassical metal six years before Malmsteen. Suck it Yngwie!
I've already watched it 5 times today
@@abbietalavera6068 Don't be mean.Yngwie loves Uli.
@@abbietalavera6068 I love this comment! Take care you two!
Klaus Meine gets totally locked into key with with the lead guitar. Perfect. 🤩
Love the faces the drummer is making. He's rocking.
Rudy Lenners, legendary
This was the best version of The Scorpions by far
My jaw never ceases to drop when I hear that first arpeggio😱 Its like "oh yeah Im Yngwies daddy bitches!!"
WHAT HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS UNTIL RIGHT NOW this groove and this guitar playing and these vocals and wow that rhythm section HOLDING IT DOWN
Outstanding!
Been diggin these guys since the 70s and still diggin em 50 yrs later while I'm in my 70s.
Whoa where has this one been hiding from me??? Love the sound. Came out 78, just now hearing it.
I started listening in 1984. I'm 54 years old and I'm navigating the stars with these melodies.
Just like me. I started the same year, and I am 54, too. I spent a whole summer listening to Love at First Sting and Gold Ballads.
Uli Roth playing on this video looks like a rock and roll guitar God! The Scorpions are certainly one of the all time greats. Rock on!
This was Obviously way before its time....I listened to the scorpions in the 80's as a kiddo...heard this for the first time in 2021....never ever imagined they could write something this complex and literally Awsome....
Singing underrated. Incredible .
I could listen to this all day on loop
Still no challengers to this masterpiece in over 40 years.
Check out Yngwie's cover of this song. From his Inspiration CD.
@@EarthAltarYngwie's cover cannot hold a candle to the original
@@justarandomguy2126 I agree. Yngwie takes a flame thrower to it.
@@EarthAltarif you mean burning everything good the song had, definitely
@@justarandomguy2126 Stop trying to date me.
I'm 23, found this song by accident 3 years ago. Happiest mistake of my life! Periodically get this masterpiece stuck in my head now and the only cure is half a dozen listens
Or an all day marathon...I can do that lol
Three times this am 😂
check out IVE GOT TO BE FREE on the same album
Norman Reedus posted this video on his Instagram page a few years ago which is when I first heard this song...Absolutely bad ass...instantly became my new favorite Scorpions song. It doesn't get played enough IMO, not even on satellite radio....
Found this last night. I've listened to it about every 5 minutes, for the last 24 hours. And when I'm not listening to it, my grooving like the drummer in this video, still feeling it. I feel like I was just born.
Lyrics:
Dark night, there is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Soul's flight into the cold blight
Of the destroyer's magic land
Poor man, whose spirits are stronger
They're the ones who will reign
You're struggles are in vain
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Keep on for the kingdom of light
There is no darkness, there is no night
One of the greatest of all time
What an epic, timeless song....all these years later...rock on, Scorpions, rock on.
Wow, how i never heard of this before. This song is awesome
If you liked this, listen to Speedy’s Coming, We’ll Burn the Sky, Fly to the Rainbow, Pictured Life and In Trance. Same era of the Scorpions as this and all killer tunes.
@@chrisg3353 i appreciate the suggestion. I will thank
Same. And everyone is saying this how did we not know?
Welcome to the family.
@@scurrie666 better late than never ! This song is praised by many top guitarists and somehow stayed unknown to many rock fans for so long. This is a masterpiece and a great example of neo-classical shredding at its earliest. Blackmore is in that category as well
I f'n AM!! gonna learn this song on guitar no matter if it takes me till the day I die!
This solo,in my opinion,is one of greatest in world! In time!
one of the most underrated songs ever
THIS SLAPS SO HARD 2024
Uli is a frckn badass!
Rudy's not bad too.
matt rtr . i love this song. scorps.
Friggin' banana hands!
Hell yeah he is.
SMOKEN... 👊😎✌🎸🎼
He makes it look effortless
Not only is this a God tier song, it has the most God tier comments of any video on youtube.
Wow, if there was ever an unknown masterpiece, this is it
One of the best guitar solos ever. Uli was brilliant!
Man the scorpions 70s records were wayyyy too overlooked for how great they were, like this stuff is miles better than the 80s stuff they blew up off
unfortunately that's how it is and I completely agree with you.
@@abdelabdellatif7100 Me too. A number of bands had a "comeback" or became big in the 80s (Scorpions, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, even Def Leopard) when they had older stuff that was way better.
@@Christian-vq8rd Maidens first album came out in 1980 and they also peaked in the 80s but yeah I generally agree on this as well
Depends where... In Europe they were quiet the show.
If it took you this long to discover the 70s era of the Scorpions them you might not truly appreciate great music until at least you finally did discover this era and other great music like the 70s era of Judas Priest
The first 75 seconds guitar solo before the singing starts is epic. Uli Roth legend
I’m totally obsessed and intrigued by this song, lo❤️e it!
Uli Jon Roth looks like he's in another place, a happy place.
Just doesn't get any better than this.
No one's saying anything in regard to Klaus' extraordinary vocals. His singing is so commendable.
Indeed, it is unbelievable.
I never noticed how similar he is to Dio before, or vice versa is you prefer.
Alienart only his hair silly..klaus has no equal! Not to take anything from dio..mhes a legend in his own right..but klaus and the scorps..so many great songs
The man is on fire....
you are right!!!! .......but the guitar part of Uli is from another world.
The way he plays the guitar is so effortless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
One of my fav bands of all time
That song never gets old
listened to this at work like 4x today. came home played it some more. never gets old.
this jam is almost too good to be true...
Scorpions in the 70s Is The Best 🤘🦂
This, my friends, is rock and roll.
Effortless. Uli just oozes calm like he's got icewater in his veins. Magnificent.
This is incredible! Uli Roth shreds and looks like he’s sleeping while he’s doing it. It’s that easy for him.
This is such rare footage!
And Shenker has the Flying V already. That guitar suits him so well!
Good to see it finally!
Thanks to whoever uploaded this and to RUclips!
👏🏻🎸😎
Schenker has been playing the v since the start
Uli is in fucking trance or something
@Brandon Hofmann
He must be because he makes it look so damn easy! Easy for him, impossible for me. I can’t shred like that.
I never thought i'd say this about a Scorpions track- but this is sooo good.
Uli Roth ,Great moment in Rock history.Klaus Meine,you are one of the greatest voice in rock history !!!!
Yes! Thanks for mentioning Klaus!
Great song. Great band. Anyone notices Uli john Roth 's picking hand while playing. His techniques are flawless. Amazing.
This is a recording, not a live performance.
Scorpions masterpiece. One of the pioneers of Metal!
How about Hard rock huh? That was hard rock and nothing else.
@@snakepitguy This song is metal as fuck!
And also This is epic metal pioneers 😉
@@mumthrash2755 just Hard Rock and nothing else.
@@snakepitguy hard rock my ass, what Uli does is pure an uncompromised heavy metal, setting the bar for all the shredders to come!
Where has this riff been all my life?!?!?!
Ребята вы суперские!!!!!!
