Michael Schenker speaks for Morow! Scorpions 

I have a ton of respect for this man as a person and musician. Followed him since 84' and the guy look younger than me at 67 (I'm 57) A lot of wisdom and luckily he went his own way on his journey. An artist and a dying breed sadly. Respect!

I absolutely love Michael Schenker's first solo album, Lost Horizons, Tales of Mystery etc.... It still inspires me today for melodic riffs, feel and expressive solos. His solos take you somewhere else and take you away from what is sometimes a crap reality of the modern-day. A mind-blowing album still after all these years. I would love to have a jam with him:-)

Fantastique humain, merveilleux musicien, les musiciens autour de Michael Schenker sont de très grands musiciens, et les chanteurs restes toujours grands auprès de Michael Schenker

Michael Schenker and Ritchie Blackmore are the two greatest rock guitarists ever, and it's amazing how similar their attitudes are towards rock fame and stardom - neither one cares about it much, and they actually avoid it. Which is why Blackmore quit Deep Purple at the height of their fame, and Schenker quit UFO and then the Scorpions. Both are true artists who care only about their music, but neither one has received the credit they deserve.

Albert Einstein Of Guitar.. greatest guitarist who ever lived

absolut great questions AND answers !! 💎💎🔥🔥🔥🔥

Gotta love this man! I am now 64 years old. The day the' New' U.F.O. album came out [Already had One Hour Space Rock And the first one} My life changed forever. Phenomenon was the album. Doctor Doctor, Rock Bottom and Queen Of The Deep. were the songs!! The Fying V became my guitar of choice. That poster of Him [The classic live one with his V] adorned all my walls, My record store included] My holy Trinity Begins with Michael, Uli and Tony ! He looks like he is in his 40's but then so do I. Gotta love that indoor living baby. i do the same things with the tape recorder as he does. That moment before sleep... Will I get up and hum it into the tape machine?? Or lose one of my best songs forever?? You Go Michael. Gotta love this man!!

There is a reason Michael Schenker is known as a rock n' roll guitar legend why?...because he has the innate sense to draw from a place of creativity that is within, creativity can come from many places rather than just from other human beings, it can come from dreams,from nature, from ones own perspective,ones own imagination,that is one thing among many things that separates Michael Schenker from regular guitar players, he has the ability to innovate, to invent, even up to the point of the way he taught himself to hold his Flying V in a way that is totally unique unto itself, that is what geniuses do.Imagine and then create that which is imagined.He is not! from the school of "monkey see monkey do". Michael Schenker is... a true original..(seems some have a hard time grasping that).

Mikey at 10 mins. in.....GOLD!!!

Vivement le nouvel Album !

I love Michaels perspective on things. I know he's been through a lot of personal problems in the past, but he's re-emerged as a happier, wiser person and it's inspiring to see that.

Als strangers in the night herauskam war ich weg und baff, das muss so 1976 gewesen sein, vielleicht etwas früher, ich war jedenfalls 16 als UFO dann 1978/79 endlich nach Hannover kam. Ich war aufgeregt bis zum Hals und als UFO dann auf die Bühne kam, konnte ich es kaum glauben: Micha war nicht dabei ! Er war grad mal weg, weil er das wohl alles nicht verkraften konnte. Das war für mich wie ein Schlag ins Gesicht, Ich war total enttäuscht. Aber das Schlimmste war, das ein Roadie für Micha eingesprungen war - erzählte mir ein Stage-Worker nach dem Konzert. Und was soll ich sagen... er spielte alles haargenau so, auch die Betonungen - wie Micha auf der Platte. Da dachte ich mir, wenn irgendwer so gut spielen kann wie mein Halbgott, dann schaff ich das auch. Da hab ich dann losgelegt mit der e-Klampfe. Micha ist einer der ganz Großen, auch wenn seine Musik mir teilweise zu schlicht, und der Gesang dazu manchmal szentypisch doof ist - er hat den rythmus und die Leidenschaft für harte Sachen, und deshalb liebe ich ihn.

Re-uniting with all the people he previously sacked.

This dude packs cigarettes with hash. Not many have so much introspection. Plus, he's killer on a guitar🤘

He is all about himself, and I don't like it about him. I wanted this, I wanted that, I didn't want pressure.. In the end he chose the easy and selfish way. I mean, come on, singers like Klaus are once in a lifetime, you can't just leave people like him behind, you've got to stick to them and appreciate them. Rudy is very talented song-writer, was it really so difficult to find compromises with your own brother and outstanding musician? How about dedication and effort instead of "it's easier for me this way"? Both Michael and Scorpions would have benefitted if Michael could tame his self-entitlement. I could say the same about Ulrich Roth as well

The flying v is not great for playing when you are sitting on a chair. He is right, when you are standing up nothing beats a classic flying v. Plus its lighter than most of the guitars.

My favorite

Mensch Michel, hörst du dir eigentlich zu?

Sloth.Glutony.Envy...bla...bla...bla.You've made your choice,then why do you still wanna backbite and regret?They are your siblings anyway.Cmmon Mike....life's goes on.

He's as into himself as Malmsteen.😅 Great talent, though. True artists from way back in history are all sort of like this.

He rarely mentions his born-again Christian epiphany in the United states. Many Rock musicians are scared to mention their conversion to Jesus Christ as it can alienate their fans. Note his theological terminology here he just can't help it lol. Blessings from Scotland.

I don't agree with his idea of purety or pureness. When he says he stopped listening to other musicians at the age of 17, I think it's like an cultural see intellectual suicide, for me. There's a subtle difference between copy and inspiration. The more different music and musicians you listen to the more diversified and rich your musical culture will be. If you focus only on one type of music and only one musician, it's clear you'll just be a clone of that musician. Pureness, in music as in all artistic expressions, is a utopia, You can't start from zero. You need a sparkle to awake your creativity. Michael stopped listening to the world creation at 17, cause he thought he had listened enough. But a musician can't help listening to other music, it's the source where he draws his notes, his melodies, the air he breathes. Inspiration is so vital for a creator. he may believe he has music in him, but this is not "HIS" music, it's th living music of what his mother sung to him in her belly, then when she wanted make him sleep, then the music of life around him, which made him and his brother make a group. You can't escape from that heritage. I'm a musician myself, and I spend my time listening to unknown music and musicians from all over the world, especially ethnical traditional music and mix of different cultures. Rightly to avoid copying standards of music busyness. I can't believe that Michael Schenker would be so stupid to ignore that.
