Uli Jon Roth has changed his costume.

[Saul Goodman]

Gone is the Mystical Tibetan Enlightened One in silk pajamas. In with the Mystical Sea Captain. Still has that swag though.

Mystical Sea Captain... Arrrrgh matey 🤣

[Steve Haynie]

Maybe his suitcase with the gypsy outfit got lost by an airline.

He can wear anything, but please don't let him sing...

I've heard other people say that. I like his voice.

That photo reminds me of one of my favorite movie scenes "just an old Salty Swedish Sea Dog sailing the salty seas, don'tcha know?"... as he has to keep inflating his inflatable parrot 🦜

It looks like he has a dead chicken hanging from the headstock. 

 

And he must be the worst singer in Rock N Roll history. Jeesch, talk about butchering All Along the Watchtower.

I wish he'd go back to the Tokyo Tapes era white Strat with the rebar sized trem arm, it sounded better.

Check out 9 min in, and 24 min, killer...

That's where I first learned of Ulrich Roth. What monster tones on Tokyo. I've seen other clips from this tour where he is playing a white Strat. Possibly the same one? Problem is I haven't found a good sounding video otherwise I would have posted it. They all sound like they had a finger over the microphone on the cell phone.

That's killer, but the trem arm has to be the tire tool from the tour bus! 

Reminds me of the Phil X' Flipstick from BITD

Cool.  Completely forgot about that....

Blackmore’s tech installed a few of those bars in his Strats. Didn’t help much, as he kept snapping the bars off in the blocks. They were something like 1/4” thick.
