I think what makes Schenker so different (à part) is his cool attitude, calm, no excentricity when he plays, only focused on what he's playing, with sometimes a smile to the others, timidly, "hi, my name is Michael, and you?", no violence, only music...
Wow! He's on fire here! Nice to see the "old" Schenker playing with passion like he does when his mind and Spirit are clear. I saw him at The Edge in Palo Alto, CA back in I believe 1994 and we recorded the Live MSG CD that night. He was SO on his game it was ridiculous !!! Since Randy died, Schenker is absolutely the best Rock Guitarist on the planet. Peace. -dave
Schenker is AMAZING ! Genius. He would be more well known if he had had a more solid career and could stay away from the bottle. German guitar players...damn ! Michael and Rudolf Schenker, Uli Roth, Matthias Jabs ALL GREAT !
Michael Schenker is awesome and is probably the most under-rated, under-discussed guitarists ever. It's unfair, he's so great. More people should know his name, especially if they play guitar!
@vaibanez17 Totally. One of the few who can play fast with amazing technical ability without negatively impacting make a soulful, emotional solo. His solo on "I'm a Loser" is incredible as is the epic on "Rock Bottom." I feel like Schenker and Robbo and Scott Gorham from Thin Lizzy are overlooked far too often. It's too bad Schenker wasn't in a better band than UFO. Oh, the possibilities...
@vaibanez17 I wouldnt say he is underated but definatley underdiscussed.But back in early 80's when i was in hs. He was talked about alot at least by us metal heads.I know he isnt really metal but most who like metal like hard rock too.Im glad to see and hear MS still has it. that solo rocked
I was right behind you. Remember my friend was in a argument about us pushing to get up front ? This was the one a Peabodys, disregard last post, that show was in 2010.
WHEN HES ON.HE CAN'T BE TOUCHED.not only does he play this heavy shit.he wrote it.so creative.most players sound boring next to him.POOR POOR CLEAVLAND
i went and saw him in england with the michael schenker group but he came out absolutely pissed and could not play guitar stormed off stage was really unprofessional great guitarist though
i guess they always loved michael schenker and ufo in cleveland. phil mogg and michael schenker are "superstars" there, even if they aren't all that well known in the united states as a whole.
Those Dean V's sound so much thicker than the Gibson V's. I had an '81 stock Flying V and no matter what I did I could not get any girth out of it. Changed pickups a couple of times. Had it apart more than it was together. I think it was just a crappy piece of wood they used for that one. Sold it for $400.
Been a Michael fan since UFO when I bought the Force It album...I have them all on cd now along with most all his solo stuff too, and the live in Japan dvd. Keep on rockin' Michael! We love ya and can't get enuff of ya!!!
Hello, reader. If you started reading this, don't stop or else. I hate people who post these kind of comments but.... Post this to 16 videos in 30 minutes and promise your self to never listen to these kind of comments or make one up. But this one is real.If you don't post this, a boy with no head or legs will show up in ur room at midnight kill you. Everyone will forget u. start posting. the timer will start as soon as you finish reading this. yes I do hate these coment
I was at this show maybe two rows behind the video guy. Didn't know how it was going to be but it turned out to be a FANTASTIC performance by Michael, as you can see :)
@messerJ4H Let sleeping dogs lie....you have to hear that song from the beginning. The probably greatest link of songs starts at the beginning of Attack of the Madax Man and ends with But I want more. In the middle is Let sleeping dogs lie. The end of that song is a frenzy of guitars no other guitarist has ever done.....he is the greatest of them all
The 3 fingers thing is a staple of GERMANS & RUSSIANS!! Pinky is also invalueable to incorporate into scales&runs!! The science of it is U teach 3 fingers to do a lick on 2 strings!! Then transfer same idea lick to other strings!! This creates WARP SPEED,cause brain only has to LEARN 1 thing!!Picking PATTERN stays same!!This is GENIOUS thinking!!Needs to go back to GIBSON ''V'' , SOUND IS MUCH BETTER ,Sorry Michael,but it' true!!GOD BLESS!!
I agree. I saw him on the 2009 tour and he was absolutely flawless. He's been absolutely brilliant every time I've seen him play over the past few decades, but somehow he actually got better.
It's been inspiring to see Michael in recent times, renewed and full of energy, healthy, positive, and completely ON. He seems to have returned to the top of his game - what a joy for him, and for us.
Did you make it to the show? I was there and really enjoyed it. How lucky are we that MSG actually made it to OKC. Scorpions and Cinderella were very good but Schenker is the reason I braved the heat for that show. I'd love to see them again.
All I can add is this...when I think of Guitar and Tone ,,,Michaels at the top of the list..4-5 guys jump out at as far as the best Guitar sound I ever heard...
@nickerz65 ...great list, also Eric Johnson who is the tone king. I would also add Andy Summers, Edward Van, Robin Ford and Jimmie Vaughan as great tones.
He is STILL on his game!!! It's been a long time since the classic UFO album, "Strangers In The Night", but man, Schenker has gotten better, just like Beck & Clapton have!!!
shredding just means fast playing ... anyway, he also does some speed picking stuff too ... not in this video mybe --- plus he uses not only the pentatonic scale ...you´re s fool dude
Man, I haven't heard Michael Schenker in ages since I've been more focused in Jazz for the past 20 years. I almost forgot how good he is. I love his feel.
@bloobear1 Yeah mate, I know what shredding is. I meant his incredible soloing by this term, sorry if I mistaken you. Should have written it more accuartely!
@salamonetalton the secret of his 3 fingers is this; a pinky would prefend him to glide from note to note. 4 fingers sounds thus more stiff or static. Beleave me, the way he plays is more economic for this style then with 4. But...and try this for yourself...its goddamned troublesome to play this way.
@TomOzzy123 Peabody's Downunder...6/26/2009...much better than the night before in Springfield, Va. they wer esmoking the better tobacco in Cleveland!
He is definitely one of the best. He is fast, but it's not just that. He has a tremendous vibrato and as mentioned by some others, he has an ability to convey such emotion in his playing. There are only a handful of players in the world where you know it's them playing because they have a unique sound. He is one of them. In the top five best, for sure.
Awsome footage buddy - youre spot on - amazing playing and its great to see him playing so well again, what an inspiration schenker is, A big credit to you for putting this on Y.tube. Thanks.
WOW! He looks so much better than he has in the recent past. MS is one of the all time best players - EVER, and I wish he would get more props. Great to see him playing at the top of his game again. Thanks for posting.
Very happy to see Schenker just kickin' ass and takin' names again...next. You know shredding(dragonforce)speed contests end up all the same..B.S....Schenker has made a clear unique mark since the 70's...and is looking killer focused again...brilliant organizer of melody,speed and power..I always think of the Bavarian Mountains in his melodics...I dare anyone to go on a 40 yr rock n roll run and see where they end up
Michael Schenker was never asked into The Stones. Aerosmith..yes he auditioned but Michael wanted to take over the band, so that didn't work. As for OZZY, Michael wanted a "kings ransom", so it didn't happen,either..
Not sure if perhaps there may be another "Michael Schenker" you're referring to, but, you may want to refrain from reading restroom stalls. They're a highly unreliable source of credible information. In addition, see "ThieleM's" post. cheers ~
Whatever you say man, maybe you should start reading up on Michael Schenker, the former guitarist of UFO, and see that what I'm saying is true. But then again whatever. Your rude comment tells me a lot about your mentality. I'll say a prayer for you.
Hi "LBjim" : "Reading up"? I've only known the guy for over thirty years. In fact, he bought a guitar from me many years ago. I'm 51 and it's common knowledge among musicians who're familiar with Michael, of the bands he's been asked to audition for. The Rolling Stones being one of them. My comment was indeed correct. You simply don't know what you're talking about. "Whatever man".
OK. Kevin being right is one thing but being an arrogant ass is another. You qualify for the second one. Show some class in your approach, I mean your 51 years old start acting you age...
I'm just a bit confused here. What is even conceivably "arrogant" about simply staing a minor fact? That's weird. I don't have any malice or ill-will towards you nor anyone else. where do you detect "arrogance" or "not having any class" in my simply pointing out you're mistaken or wrong. Would you recommend telling a teacher or Professor they're somehow "arrogant" or "don't have class" because all they did was point out your error? It would appear you're reading something that's not there.
Okay, I'm going to provide you the dignity of even responding. Who was the one who supposedly "corrected" me about my so-called "error" regarding Michael schenker. YOU DID. You don't know me from Adam. Yet, you, flippantly and without doing your own "reading up" on the given topic, make an error YOURSELF! HELLO!? If anything, YOU should be apologizing to ME. I won't be surprised if you don't though. You seem to be sloppy, reckless, and struggle with some personality disorders.
All you really had to do was just give a little "oops"! I'm sorry", or, a "my bad". Instead, you chose to be abusive and obscene, and disrespectful. Why? Is this something you deem to be an integral component of being a "good citizen" and would want to convey as good character to your children. I certainly hope not.
On another note. That is the best he has played in over a decade. WOW! There is no doubt in my mind, when he is clean, he is one of the greatest guitar players ever!
do you know of any guitar players that would turn ozzy down! he was the first pick after randy died , randy loved schenkers playing , but he turned it down ! man what would that have been !
This is the perspective that I would LOVE to see an entire MSG concert video filmed from. All I EVER WANT too see is Michael & his fingers doing the talking. GREAT JOB ! Thanks !
Your editing is SICK! That is absolutely killer! What is that lead that he's playing after the 2 minute mark? It's all good, but that totally blows me away.
P.S. I'm going to see him tonight in Redondo Beach. yeah!
Great video & audio...I loved this show...it was well worth the 14 hour ride to get to see the Great MSG!! They most certainly did destroy Cleveland, great venue and great people there also!!
that intro to Lost Horizons just slays me...always has. Next, the great riffing of Attack of Mad Axeman. ..plus many more.....THANKS FOR SHARING! cool compilation.
I think what makes Schenker so different (à part) is his cool attitude, calm, no excentricity when he plays, only focused on what he's playing, with sometimes a smile to the others, timidly, "hi, my name is Michael, and you?", no violence, only music...

OK. Kevin being right is one thing but being an arrogant ass is another. You qualify for the second one. Show some class in your approach, I mean your 51 years old start acting you age...

I'm just a bit confused here. What is even conceivably "arrogant" about simply staing a minor fact? That's weird. I don't have any malice or ill-will towards you nor anyone else. where do you detect "arrogance" or "not having any class" in my simply pointing out you're mistaken or wrong. Would you recommend telling a teacher or Professor they're somehow "arrogant" or "don't have class" because all they did was point out your error? It would appear you're reading something that's not there.

You just come across as a condesending person, who thinks his importance in the world is grand.

Okay, I'm going to provide you the dignity of even responding. Who was the one who supposedly "corrected" me about my so-called "error" regarding Michael schenker. YOU DID. You don't know me from Adam. Yet, you, flippantly and without doing your own "reading up" on the given topic, make an error YOURSELF! HELLO!? If anything, YOU should be apologizing to ME. I won't be surprised if you don't though. You seem to be sloppy, reckless, and struggle with some personality disorders.

Dude, I have moved on apparently you have nothing better to do. Kevin go fuck yourself and get a life!!!
LBjim 2 years ago
All you really had to do was just give a little "oops"! I'm sorry", or, a "my bad". Instead, you chose to be abusive and obscene, and disrespectful. Why? Is this something you deem to be an integral component of being a "good citizen" and would want to convey as good character to your children. I certainly hope not.
Happy Holidays & May God Bless All!

On another note. That is the best he has played in over a decade. WOW! There is no doubt in my mind, when he is clean, he is one of the greatest guitar players ever!

He didn't turn Ozzy down. He wanted more money than Ozzy was willing to pay.

Dude,
Your editing is SICK! That is absolutely killer! What is that lead that he's playing after the 2 minute mark? It's all good, but that totally blows me away.
P.S. I'm going to see him tonight in Redondo Beach. yeah!
