Still So Many Lives Away


"Still So Many Lives Away" is a track by Uli Jon Roth, the German guitarist known for pioneering neoclassical metal and his years with the Scorpions. Originally from 1979, it appears on the 2023 release Uli Jon Roth Electric Sun - Earthquake. For electric guitarists, the track offers a window into Roth's signature style — blending classical phrasing with rock energy — making it a compelling study in melodic expression and neoclassical technique.

  • Uli Jon Roth is considered one of the earliest pioneers of neoclassical metal, blending classical music vocabulary with hard rock guitar.
  • Roth designed his own instrument, the Sky Guitar, built to extend the upper fret range beyond a standard electric guitar.
  • The track dates back to 1979 but was included on a 2023 reissue, giving it renewed relevance for modern players exploring classic rock.
