Michael Schenker Group - Into The Arena

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

The good part starts at 4:00. :)

[nylonsteel]

Love Schenker, I have this Dvd,he seems just tired at that time period.

[NelsonStJames]

Raise you hand if Michael Shenker inspired you to pick up the guitar.

Raise your other hand if his skills totally made you want to put it down again.

[mattfarthing5150]

Is that Van Halen's Cathedral at 3.35?

[leebegeebee]

Who's the guy on the bass who thinks he's the star? He's good but leaping about takes ur eyes off Mr Schenker.

[MrOctagon20]

he makes it look easy,long live mr schenker,in the not to distant future i understand micheal is to do a project with his brother rudy,but not until the scorpions have done their last world tour then retirement for the scorps,very sad news.

[izzinami]

rev may be a good bassist, but he needs a new trick, it kills me to watch him whirl his pony tail over and over " on and on".

[ExtremeSins]

@izzinami I hear ya dude , that Rev annoys the crap outta me !

[gbastow]

The drummer plays in Black-n-Blue. He's from my home town Portland, Oregon.

[Gearbob]

Rev kicks ass!

[TheRisingforce2000]

micheal schenker mainly only uses 3 fingers of his playing hand and is a awesome guitarist

[clubninjarock]

He sounds pretty good.

[matthewTmccourt]

metallkica isnt even in the same"arena" as this guy...they have done some good long songs thanx to dave mustaine but not after his departure little do people ko whe wrote alot of material released ling after he was gne the real mettalica belongs to dave

[kaboom6899]

well he wrote up untill the ride the lightning, and those are even in the credits

[matthewTmccourt]

yeah i agree with all of it rev is amazing and a really super guy too pete holmes our first wild odgs drummer is athis finest here as well

but the real man behind teh guitar is michael who is to me the pioneer of shred saw them inportland a month ago2009 and was mesmorised

[nathantim]

amazing BASS guitar player i meant

[nathantim]

Thats Rev....hes such an amazing guitar player....i saw him on this tour....he came out after they played and he got a beer and was waiting to watch Moxy and Budgie....i shook his hand and told him he did an awesome job and he was really cool.....

[boongg]

Who is the bassist? He's awesome.

[ilovethe360]

if olny this was on guitar hero this song is epic EPIC

[TheRisingforce2000]

I agree this song would be awesome on guitar hero

[PkMn12793]

also the bassest is good,

(of course no 1 has been nor ever will be asgreat as the late cliff burton)

and i dont want to hear any 1 dis him,

like i sead these dudes are hella good,

(also if you dont know hwo cliff burton is cheack wikipedia, picked up the bass at 13 after his bro died, his parents quoted him saying that "im going to be the greatist bassest for my brother" and you can't dis some 1 that does that)

[PkMn12793]

this is so epic that languidge as we know it simplay can not express it,

that is hard to do,

(though metallica does ot all the time, but we're not talkign about metallica, this is just 1 more to add to the list of badns that can be used in the same statment as metallica)

THIS SONG JUST FUCKIGN KICKS ASS!

[LEWFROST2]

amazing---BRAVO!!!

[justinskate123]

I got one word to describe the ending solo - EPIC!!!!!!!!! i freakin love it!

[DaveyMurray11]

great guitar riff at 0:24

[snuffone]

Great riffs are what the song is all about my friend. Mike is an awesome guitarist-just like his bro, {Rudolph}. I love MSG,and still have them on vinal from the 80's!

[nathantim]

Bass player is Rev Jones.

i was at the San Antonio, Tx show that year.

when MSG was done, Rev came into the crowd to watch Moxy and Budgie perform...i talked to him for a bit and bought him a beer...he was really cool and laid back.

[kandatadan]

bass player is great, drummer too --

[metalrock99]

last time checked he isnt using a pick

[divgtrslingr]

Awesome! The 1st solo about 1 minute into the song the solo you can hear where Rhodes was influenced by MS

[zoidburg111]

1 of the most underated guitarists ever...the bass player was pretty good to actually

[darthjka]

whoops, Michael broke a string before the break

[vigildon]

the bass player needs to throw that gotdamn pick away and start slappin that shit...using a pick you disable the bass strings from maximum thumpage...just my opinion

[jotun666zidane]

i disagree, hes way more precise with a pick in hand, come on now the guy is a freak on bass check out that tapping action, very nice, anyways hes playing next to schenker, i think he knows what hes doing...

[vigildon]

hahahaha...yah right and ray kennedy wasnt a total fag on stage with schenker...just because he's up there doesn't mean anything...look at wolfgang van halen...he's on stage with van halen the band but he doesn't a fucking thing...alot of musicians make it onstage but don't shit...all it means is that they slipped past security and it was too late to get another musician at short notice.

[noisecontrol69]

mean shit

[paroelius]

after all those years,still rocking brains off.them oldies are great.power to the seniors.

[KipsKabin]

Excellent!

[guitapie]

time have no merci...

[ZZJOSH]

the world anthem

[Vaselinegibbon]

2 days until I see him live!

[kingofthedeep]

You know what, I dont like the way drums sound nowadays. It sounds to electronic. Long live Schenker!

[Chromatype]

Man that bass player has a bad case of the

" Look at ME"

[ZamperVi]

bass player is a ugly shit face

[rsegundo099]

Wow, who gives a damn about what guitar he's playing. They played that tune really well. Probably the best I've heard MSG play that one.

[hopthepond]

Its funny, look at the pick guard he hasnt even removed the plastic sheet covering it!! you can see it curling up at the edges!

AWESOMW guiarist whos had his problems but still goes On and On!

[thetwisted2007]

It took me months before I removed mine. ;)

[cindersguy]

Contracts sometimes call for the local promoter to be required to provide the guitar. He probably scammed it from a local music shop and returned it the next day!

[carlos13fred]

he said he sold the gibsons on a interview, on this dvd id a cheap gibson.. now he sadly uses deans

[MWGuitar329]

He hasn't been changed at all though get old a little.

He is still legend.

I like this vid, thanx.

[tony93666]

great song - MS is a badass! but that bass player is annoying as hell... I have a Dean MS sig V guitar, and I love it!

[jlevyx]

that's definitely a Gibson Flying V. Look at the headstock, and look at the GIBSON engraved in it.

The bass player is very talented, but his tone has no balls.

[MrBiggMan]

Looks like a Gibson to me.

[SchenkerScorpions]

great song, is that a Dean guitar

[Schenker93]

Gibson V. He didn't sign with Dean till 2005. And Deans have a double pointed headstock. His Dean is half black and half white. Plus Dean Vs don't have a pickguard.

[hamwinkie]

What a shame he has to use a cheap crap Tennesee Gibson now. The sound is just not the same. I wonder why he sold all his old ones? Especially the medallion one, his favorite for yearssss.

[Schenker93]

Schenker uses a Dean V now that is black and white similat to his old Gibson now. His tone remains the same. He never sold his Gibsons he just lost them.

[jlevyx]

maybe some of his V's were stolen,

but he DEFINITELY DID sell SOME of his V's to alleviate financial trouble.

[Aberback]

Some were definatly stolen. I agree with jlevyx, even thought I have never met him, we agree on every comment I've seen him post!

[NorthenLight1]

Michael is such a great performer , all time I have seen the show was, Somebody get me another drink please.!!!

[Rammbock01]

Great perormance from Michael Schenker.

[brentmann]

Bass Player is Bad ASS!I love MSG!

[69phsyco69]

He is a fuh-reak!!!

[RedArrow2007]

I was in the front row with a buddy of mine...Schenker was his favorite guitarist, before he heard about Yngwie...Well during the concern, Schenker reached out and shook my buddy's hand...Quite an experience for him.

[EUguitarRULE]

Let me tell you something dude YJM was my fav but Yngwie went for speed rather than tone and melody and I never knew about UFO, MSG and Scorps but when I herd "Strangers in the Night ala rock bottom" and how how YJM was influenced and even played Uli Roth and schenkers music..well guess who is my ultimate guitar god..they are both Germans.

[jvderve]

Brings back some goodmemories :-)
