Michael Schenker Group Rockpalast 1981 Hamburg Markthalle 

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Phenomenal axeman!

The mad axeman!!!

SUPERBLY SAID MATE

I can´t say ....... when I was a teenager I bought the LP "UFO - strangers in the night ........" nothing more to say about his style ....

The BEST 💥

jeddak yes. Love Cozy

And Gary. He's in top form here too!

COZY WAS A BAD ASS

Magical combinations: Cozy with Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore

@SabuPtolemy Yep totally over rated just like Ginger Baker , loads better drummers about at that time like Bill Ward , Ian Paice , Brian Downey , Neil Peart ........

Same age and yes.

I'm 58 and discovered him through his first solo album when I was around 16-17and then bought every album Schenker was on. He still is the biggest influence on me.

Yeah same. No spots but piles and a fat gut 😀

Ditto, ditto and ditto.

55 here dude and exactly the same these years were incredible ...and these musicians here were just , for me, the best band he ever had as the MSG band

Not only music has changed for worse since then. Being 58 as well, I was able to see many of the best groups live.

@@siegmarlange5470 yeah so happy being born these middle 60s cause we did and seen so many crazy things people wouldnt be able to believe or understand SO FAR ! Take care brother

Should've been huge … the personal in this band are incredible, should've been a huge success - I mean - they did well, but didn't get anywhere near as huge as you'd expect.

They just played zztop and wham, mike Jackson, GO GOS, dURAN DURAN? every day, radio sucked in N.Y back then, I just could not understand.

The playing was decent, particularly from Michael, but the songs are awful. I was never that impressed with Barden either to be honest, he sounds a bit bar band at times.

@@donharrold1375 your fucking high or just stupid

@@donharrold1375 so you are a WHAM fan?? Schenker plays a flying V like nobody else....and Barden's voice is what all rock bands want for a front man.....

Yes they were 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

They were, but Michael and Simon were even better.

Played lefty without inverting the strings. Very noteworthy

@@robertwhitcomb6105 Really?

Is that a hammond organ he s playig too. It s the biz.!

Absolutely !!!!!!

Yes sir, I was at that concert also. He was awesome...

Daddy’s Showcase of the Stars on Fred Rd

GodsTruthMinistries - Schenker never plays a solo exactly the same. The main melodies are the same, but he has stated over his entire career that he makes most of it up on the fly, otherwise he’d die of boredom. I’ve seen him three nights in a row a few times and it’s his improvisational skills that make him such an exciting player on stage.

@@henrysanchez8937 awesome

RIP Cozy Powell. RIP.

Facts.

For real no doubt on 🔥

What. Barden got worse?

...agree..

Molly Hatchet? Now THAT....is a mismatch ! :/

Don't forget the echo plex

@@badmonkey2222 Didn't forget anything. MS core sound came from a Gibson Flying V, a Marshall amp along with a simple delay, chorus and wah-wah pedal. That’s it. Now uses Dean custom guitars.

@@sunlion8866i know what his core sound came from is petty much what you said but you left out a very big part. I'm a professional guitarist been playing over 30 years I've met Michael and I actually held that Gibson V THE V the white one he showed me how he repaired the headstock multiple times with drumsticks but it was so good you could hardly tell, held It in my hands in 1991, but and you're right he used all that, and he did not use a simple delay, its called an Echoplex, its a tape delay they don't make them anymore and there hard to get parts for but he still uses it to this day, that's one of the keys to his sound. George Lynch and Eric Johnson use it also.

@@badmonkey2222 Will go with what Micheal says in his interviews. That's been his main guitar set-up for years. Going all the way back to the early eighties. Look it up.

@@sunlion8866 did fucking look it up I've talked to him my selfl and he says in just about every interview that he uses an Echoplex dumbass you can look it up ... And you can now stop talking to me because you do not know what you're talking about. And he's use the Echoplex since the 70s not the 80s and he still uses it today you look it up I don't have to i know what the fuck I'm talking about. I told that you had pretty much his whole setup correct and he does use a couple of types of boss delay pedals but that echoplex is his secret weapon, just believe what you want to believe.

TOSS THE FLYING V. MY DEUCHLAND BRTHERS

Bob Nixon I wish Gary Barden sang on Assault Attack.

its best

I was there. During “Rock Bottom” I even see myself for a second in the video. That was an amazing concert

that's sad..UFO was my favorite metal / hard rock band in the 70's and 80's. I got to see them several times and actually work very closely with them for an entire day on a professional level. It was an unforgettable day of my life in a theatre in Wheeling West Virginia.

R.I.P

@Oh! Mama! Glad he joined MSG tho

and since then we've added Pete Way and Paul Chapman sigh....

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_RX-VlmPnQ.html Honestly when Paul Raymond came in the band. And they recorded lights out, and obsession. The band was in a completely different mindset, as well as the production which was done extremely well. I feel including the live album strangers in the night. Were some of their best albums hands-down. It’s a shame that Michael Shanker and Phil Moog!! Had such a falling out over a fight. Can you imagine if that never happened, and they went on to record the next album with that lineup? Tremendously Awesome

😩🤷🏽‍♂️

the outro solo in that song is still one of my all time favorites.

Hey, I was at that gig, loved it. I think it wasn't too long after John Bonham died, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was around that time.

Hang on UFO were brilliant too I wouldn’t knock them ok moog et al fell out with Michael but everyone fell out with Michael even his brother 😂

@@michaelblythe6525 That's because he realized Rudolph had been using him for decades .. If Michael was really that bad .. he wouldn't still be friends with Gary Barden , and Chris Glenn , from this lineup . 30 plus years later

Recently I read an article where Michael Schenker was saying that when he had joined Scorpions for The Lonesome Crow album he had saved the band from extinction because they had no lead guitar player and he stayed until Ulrich Roth aka Uli Jon Roth joined. When he joined UFO they weren't going anywhere and again he saved another band and they became one of the biggest bands in the world until he left them. Judas Priest soon after that asked him if he would consider joining them. He turned the offer down. He didn't want to be a member of somebody else's band one more time. His goal was to have a band of his own with his name, hence MSG

I think just the same

sounds like a dick move to boo a small local punk band off the stage

@@LoneShot95 no.

Yeah, he is still the master!!!!, but 1981 in this Rockpalastnight........ Nobody will be better...... never!!

@@LoneShot95 LFC &. BVB

Is an incredible guitarist!!!!

He sold it, as well as his #2 Flying V, on ebay around 2003 after Michael lost pretty much everything in his divorce. A cool guy from England bought it with a promise to Michael to allow him to buy it back at any time in the future for the same price. That’s pretty damn cool, if you ask me!

No hate to Molly Hatchet, but how in the hell do you watch MSG in it’s prime ( not knowing at that time) and follow this performance up ? You can’t. MH I seen a couple times and they are good but not MSG or Michael Schenker good. They had to play 10 times better which I doubt they did. I can only imagine them watch from backstage and thinking “Fuck!!”

I highly doubt any of them worshipped Schenker. What an asinine thing to say.

Worship isn't the right word, they were all talented musicians in their own right, but they definitely respected Michael's musicianship.

Did they blow Cheap Trick off the stage?

Libes on. N still rules the axe

Sean Simpson - Yese! Owesum!!
