A rock and classical player who left Scorpions to form Electric Sun.
For his Scorpions era, 'Tokyo Tapes' captures that live energy. Later, 'Japanese Dream' from the Electric Sun years is a good place to hear his style on its own.
He was the lead guitarist on Scorpions albums like 'In Trance' and 'Tokyo Tapes', bringing a melodic, technically sharp style to the band's early sound. After leaving in 1978, he formed Electric Sun and wrote songs like 'Japanese Dream' and 'We'll Burn The Sky', which showed his blend of rock energy and classical influences. His solo work, including tracks such as 'I'll Be Loving You Always', kept that approach alive through the 1980s and beyond.
Roth joined Scorpions in 1973 and played on several albums before departing in 1978. He then started his own group, Electric Sun, which released its debut 'Fire Wind' in 1979. He continued making solo records like 'Beyond the Astral Skies' through the following decade.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
