I saw Kirk tell an interviewer, years ago, one of his dreams was to jamm with Michael Schenker. It's nice when your dreams come true. The smile on Kirks face says it all.
I remember being a 13 year old kid and having my neighbor giving me UFO's Strangers In The Night because he heard I was taking guitar lessons. He said, everything you need to know is on this CD. He was right. I was a minority with my friends listening to Schenker. But he was my real guitar teacher. I absorb all I could and made it my own. I have never seen him live but seeing Kirk having a blast here make me smile. I am jealous.
Metallica was always some kind of weird Thrash off beat thing. It goes with the territory I guess. I play Drums and I like this style. I do Love Metallica but Lars did kind of slow down over the years. Not Dave Lombardo some people are different I guess
Hah! Awesome. Kirk's like totally geeked on it. He's probably up on stage thinking back to when he was a teenager in high school listening to Strangers In The Night - and now he's jammin' Natural Thing with The Blond Bomber live. I mean, who wouldn't dig it? 😎
That bald guy who grabbed Kirk's guitar at the end is actually James Hetfields guitar-tech on the road. His name is Chad (can't remember his last name) .
Kirk is the Kid in the Candy Store here...Don´t get all the Hate, he´s been a massive Scorps Fan ever since and is really such a genuine nice Guy!! ;-)
Metallica plays miserable music.. only one vibe. Mike plays happy and sad, all emotions. So Kirk probably gets depressed locked into Metallicas one style. Plus Hetfield is so limited to only rhythm.. Mike plays everything..much more freedom for Kirk to play different things.
@@michaelcraig9449 only one vibe...you are an idiot and you have never listen tontheir whole catalogue. Don't make me bust out the math on what do they actually use per song.
@@michaelcraig9449 are you serious. James is not just limited to rhythm. You should listen to the whole freaking catalog before you comment. He does a lot of harmonies and solos
You know at that moment there's no place on Earth Kirk would have rather been than right there. He looks like he's attending one of those week-long rock schools and he's playing alongside his idol and I suppose there's an element of truth to that since he's as much a fan of the mad axeman as the rest of us.🤘
Knowing about Schenker won me a trivia contest on one of those college stations(WSOU,Seton Hall radio station), a signed pick by the members of Mr Big(were new at the time) and backstage to a show at the Stone Pony I think it was, one of those places in Asbury Park..
I wonder why Mike switched to Dean V guitars from Gibson Flying Vs. I have not seen him play the Gibson V's lately. Does he still play them at all? Anyone know? I mean Dean is good, but players dont usually switch away from Gibson guitars.
The story I’m told is Schenkers Gibsons were stolen and at that time he was down on his luck. Dean provided him with some guitars and then gave him his own signature V. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
To the very day I wonder nobody ever mentioned Michael Schenker being one of the greatest rhythm guitar players in Rock. It`s only about lead guitar always, but thats only half of the Schenkers onion tart in my humble opinion.
It´s not easy to comment on this. It seems not that they were playing in a different league or on different stages. It seems that Michael is playing on a whole different planet. So you could say, that Michael in comparison is a better player, but that would mean absolutely nothing. Because Michael in itself is absolutely incomparable. He`s not foremost better or worse than Kirk or other players, he`s just not comparable. You could say if that makes any sense that he is playing in his own class being only in competition with himself.
First, a version (portion) of “Holiday” by the Scorpions (written while he was a member in 1977) Second, sounds like some old UFO song. Dunno for sure. Third, “Blackout” by the Scorpions
