Though he doesn't get intimately as much credit as Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth helped lay the base for neoclassic metallic element with his lead guitar work for German severe stone icons the Scorpions during the '70s. Roth's playing owed an obvious debt to Jimi Hendrix, simply the elegance of his lead lines, the fluidity of his wording, and his role of jump scales learned from hellenic grooming all helped advertise his body of work into some other kingdom all. Upon going away the Scorpions in 1978, Roth embarked on an wandering solo career that establish him exploring his psychedelic and neoclassical influences to a arcdegree that would let been impossible with his former band.
Uli Jon Roth was born Ulrich Roth in Dusseldorf, Germany, on December 18, 1954. He began playing guitar at historic period 13 and was acting just two years later. In the early '70s, he coupled a dance orchestra called Dawn Road, which likewise featured singer Klaus Meine. Members of the temporarily in-limbo Scorpions (their guitarist Michael Schenker had scarcely left hand to join UFO) became interested in Dawn Road's original material, which was largely composed by Roth, and a novel Scorpions lineup was formed in 1973 with Roth on lead guitar. 1974's Fly to the Rainbow was their first transcription together, only they real strike their stride on the follow-ups, 1975's In Trance and 1976's Virgin Killer, which made them external stars and drew particular spat for Roth's soloing abilities. However, musical tensions were discernible on 1977's Taken By Force; Roth's larger-than-life ambitions began to clash with the straight-up hard rock sensitivity of the reside of the band. After a tumultuous earth go, Roth left the group in 1978, following the going of the live forked record album Tokyo Tapes.
Prohibited on his own, Roth formed a mount dance orchestra called Electric Sun, which -- in safekeeping with the classic power-trio format -- featured him on lead vocals as well as guitar. Electric Sun made its debut with the Earthquake album in 1979, which was musically reasonably standardized to his work with the Scorpions, albeit with more Hendrix influence, generally yearner songs, and a slightly hippie-ish vibration. Those tendencies were explored in more detail on the 1981 follow-up, Fire Wind. For the side by side Electric Sun project, Roth took a left turn over into symphonic neoclassic rock, greatly expanding his compositional pallette while introducing his new invention, the six-octave Sky Guitar. The outcome, Beyond the Astral Skies, was released in 1984 and would prove to be the last Roth recording for quite some time; he elective to take a break from recording in order to work in an ambitious new counseling.
Lots of Roth's writing from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s was in a classical stylus, departure rock & ramble behind altogether. For example, the 1991 objet d'art Aquila Suite (by and by issued as portion of the three-disc From Here to Eternity package) was a set of 12 etudes composed for solo piano, in the style of the Romantic era. Also in 1991, Roth was tapped by German television to calculate the tribute special "A Different Side of Jimi Hendrix," which likewise featured bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Simon Phillips, among many others. In 1993, Roth returned to German television with the "Symphonious Rock for Europe" special, in which he performed his first rock-and-roll philharmonic "Europa Ex Favilla" (summation several other pieces) backed by the Brussels Symphony Orchestra. Some of those compositions later turned up on Sky of Avalon: Prologue to the Symphonic Legends, Roth's 1996 return to recording, which featured his new backing band Sky of Avalon. Prologue was the low of a jutting four-spot related symphonic recordings spotlighting the sky guitar. In 1998, Roth played his first straight-ahead rock candy concerts in quite some time, connexion the European leg of the G3 guitar-virtuoso software system tour with Michael Schenker and Joe Satriani. In 2000, Roth released Transcendental Sky Guitar, a two-CD set of recent live and studio material (including selections from a special 1999 concert in Vienna) that was split into classical and rock-oriented halves.

Camano Island's Caitlin Kinnunen, 16, cast in Broadway's "Spring Awakening"
Young Camano Island actor Caitlin Kinnunen just got cast in one of Broadway's hottest shows: "Spring Awakening."
Kinnunen, 16, auditioned for the Tony-winning show at an open call in Seattle last fall, then went to two call backs in New York; she learned earlier this month that she was chosen to play Thea in "Spring Awakening," a teen-centered rock tuner set in 1890s Germany.
So what did this home-schooled island resident do when she learned she'd been cast in a Broadway musical and was moving to New York?
"I actually cried," said Kinnunen, the first time she'd ever shed tears of happiness. Then almost immediately, she got worried about her to-do list. "First of all, we have to find a place to live. Then, what do we take? How do you pack up and move with three weeks notice?"
Kinnunen's mother and home-school teacher, Betsy Stam, will move with her daughter to New York for the open-ended engagement. Stam, an online college instructor, will be able to continue to work from New York. Kinnunen's 19-year-old sister, Julia, was the first in the family to get into acting; she may join her mother and sister in New York in the fall.
Kinnunen, who has worked professionally at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, the Village Theatre and Seattle Children's Theatre, will be the first replacement for Thea in the show, which has been on Broadway since December 2006. She starts rehearsals June 30, and is scheduled to take over the supporting part July 21.
"The music is beautiful," Kinnunen said. "And the fact that they took most of the dialogue from the original play [written in 1891 by Frank Wedekind] is amazing — I love it."
"Spring Awakening" made headlines not only for its rock score and eight Tony wins, but the subject matter: the tumult of teens discovering their sexuality. It portrays masturbation and sex, suicide, sexual abuse and abortion.
Kinnunen is fine with that. "The play is a really good way to show these things to teenagers. It's not stuff that we talk about [with our parents]. So this is an opportunity to go to the show — then talk about the subjects with her parent."
"Spring Awakening" hits the road with a Broadway touring cast in the fall, stopping at Seattle's Paramount Theatre Oct. 14-19.

Blast-offs from the past: a look at NASA missions
TV Lookout |
It's always kind of fitting when the U.S. space program is featured in a TV series. For millions of viewers, those early space missions played out as a thrilling TV series, with the real-life story line becoming more amazing and suspenseful with each flight
Looking back, it still is. "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions" is a three-part look back that marks a half-century of U.S. manned spaceflight. It launches at 9 tonight on Discovery Channel.
Giving the series a never-seen-before vividness, Discovery has transferred original mission footage to high definition, giving these archival records heightened power.
It all begins, of course, with the pioneering Mercury program and its quest to put a man in space. NASA handpicks seven men as a new breed of hero.
Week two is devoted to the Gemini program, whose missions paired astronauts and introduced them to walking in space.
Then a few giant leaps, and Neil Armstrong made his "one small step" onto the moon. That's where the miniseries is headed for its third week. Then the shuttle program, with the Challenger disaster. Even now, the sight of that explosion is a shocking reminder: This was all never just a TV show.
Other shows to look out for:
They're father and daughter. They race cars. They're estranged from each other and stubborn rivals on the stock-car circuit. Now, with Kylie Shines burning up the track in this male-dominated sport, her legendary dad, Al, finds his career on a bumpy road. But he has more than that to worry about. Kylie and red-hot racer Kid Walker are having an affair. Al thinks she's moving too fast with this guy. His solution: a race for his legacy and his daughter's welfare. He challenges Kylie and her beau to a three-way race. "The Circuit," an ABC Family film, stars Michelle Trachtenberg, Billy Campbell as Al and Drew Fuller as Kid. It premieres at 8 tonight.
For those who remember the scandal of Roman Polanski, and those who don't, a fascinating documentary reopens this notorious case 30 years after it commanded world attention — and bred lasting misconceptions. "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" is the saga of one of the world's most famous directors ("Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown"), who in 1977 was convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. He pleaded guilty and served 42 days in jail.
But trapped in a judiciary maze as well as a media circus, he had reason to believe he would never find justice. He fled to France, where he remains, still a celebrated filmmaker at 74. The film includes an interview with the victim, Samantha (Gailey) Geimer, now 45, who, as a 13-year-old, had been posing for Polanski in a photo shoot. And it explores the miscarriage of justice that has left Polanski a lifelong victim, too. It premieres at 9 p.m. Monday on HBO.
The prime-time special "iCarly Saves TV" premieres at 8 p.m. Friday on Nickelodeon. The film is based on the popular "iCarly" series, a show-within-a-show that tracks its characters on- and off-Webcam as they create their own Webcast — and grapple with everyday tween problems. Miranda Cosgrove stars as Carly.
