I was in the US Air Force in England and had never heard of Michael Schenker. We went to this show and wow I was just amazed. THen when the guys from the Scorpions came out it was just crazy. I got this on VCR, DVD, and origanl LP that is still not opened. One of the highlights of a very long and full concert experience. Very nice. Rock Will Never Die from this set is the best solo ever on recording I think.
@5150redhead Yep he opened up this show (built to destroy) with captain nemo in detroit that year chris glen had appendix surgery that day so michael played sans a bass player the keyboardist did his best ray manzarik impression with left handed keys.
I love this line up. Derek St Holmes too. I found this on CD with all 15 tracks just the other day. Thank you Heritage Records in Calgary. Last of the independants.
Great live performance. Incredible energy. The main man on fire. The tone, orgasmic.
This is one of the best - I was addicted from the first moment I heard the first bars of this track. Watching his legs going 0.23 and the cockeyed grin that comes over his face at 0.51 it's a true classic. Talk about flying fingers you've just got to watch him
This riff is SOOOOO underrated!! Just listen to it and your hair on the back will stand tall for a whole year. I mean, why stupid songs like those of U2 or NIrvana are getting so much recognition while a masterpiece like this isnt?? Something is wrong with the world!! Seriously!!
They made both a music and video recording of this performance, but seems the video DVD is hard to find now. Amazon does not stock it, I found I could get it out of Russia though...
Great tour that year. I was at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium show and Michael just blew Ted Nugent away. Ted just had to admit it during his show about how good Schenker was.
@MrPJQ68 I love it when people say that, cause they don't know shit. Guess you missed the lead part at 1:52. Ever see the video "Into the Arena" by blackmetal619 here on youtube? Or Bijiou Pleasurette 1984 by AXEFLYERFV. He doesn't use it like the mindless noodling of other players whom he inspired. The thing is he is all over the fretboard and doesn't stay in one position for very long at all. He is silky smooth and way more melodic than his contemporaries.
gotta agree. I saw him unplugged in the 90's. man can play. he reminded me of BB King. He actually scared me. Until the crucifix fell out of his shirt. He uses his pinky... he has sustain, and vibrato like BB. I may be nuts (ok...I'm nuts) But...he was good in '72. whats he doin now?
@dcd442 No he was fucking great in 72 on Lonesome Crow at 16. Whats he doing now? Don't really know. I really am only a huge huge fan of the old stuff. 72-84.
Its a young mans game really. All these guys get burned out and start to lose some of the "edge" after 10-12 years or so. By "guys", I mean all the brilliant rock guitar players. It starts out being fun and writing great songs/solos and somewhere along the lines it becomes work and loses some of the excitement. It shows with all of them.
@dcd442 Still Michael Schenker and Uli Roth are my 2 favorite rock guitarists ever. And I have heard them all. No one sounded fresher and melodic in their songs/solos.
They had tone,phrasing,speed,vibrato that was godly. And all of their songs sounded non repetitive and very different. Marks of great song writers as well. Rare.
Kids commenting about grownups and their toys. Amasing. It is not hard to notice comments from people that was not even alive or in diapers when this took place. Enjoy but geez, some of your comments are &#^$@
i heard this when it was first on the airwaves in the u.s.a. [ early 80's] on metal mania on wdha , when eddie trunk was still doing the metal news! and it is still amazing!
Michael and I hung around a bit in 1985 or 84 in Newport Beach, CA. We would go out partying at places like Woodys Wharf and the Red Onion etc. At the time he was totally infatuated with the Nancy Wilson from Heart. Michael was intense in everything he did back then. We would get into fights occasionally at the bars he would comment how he wasn't going to use his has in a fight because of a possible injury that may prevent him from playing. Just a little history... Hope he is doing great.
wow. its when you listen to things like this you realise how crappy music of today is. what with all this rap bollocks. what a shame this is considered 'uncool'
@guitarater Love your very good work on the covers ;) but i think you made VanHalens Ain´t talk about a little "prettier" by take away eddie´s "error" at the beginning of the second round of that first riff, when he misses the riff i little bit and gave it it´s own personality....love that "miss" ;) Just a thought, love your work Guitarater!!!! I could never get close ;)
@joshfontanella thats funny your the same age as he was when he did his first big gig i think, and he has been offered to play for Whitesnake, The Rolling Stones and even Aerosmith! he is absolutely the best!
@joshfontanella It's funny but I was 14 when I first got in to Michael Schenkers guitar playing when he was with UFO. The bands now don't have any talent as it's soon to be uncool if you can actually play well. 'The lunatics have taken over the asylum'!.
@joshfontanella I would say one of the reasons they dont have bands like this is because of the money, if a band is already getting paid to do what they have already been doing, they wouldent try to change anything for the audience/fans because they are just in it for the money, music today has no soul... and I hate to say this but this trend is not only happening in music but anywhere you go ppl with just be in for the money.
@Bojoe777NaBl Money was always a factor. The thing is in those days you could make a good living performing live and audiences really loved music and live show - now there is the internet and video games ect...but yeah I understand your point -
@joshfontanella Your generation need to bring this music back - DJ's are the new rockstars at the moment but hopefully that will pass along with the bedwetter music we have to endure haha - seriously I agree - have a listen to sails of Charon by Scorpions as well
@joshfontanella Record companies ar eloosing money because the cd sales drop like crazy so the quality of the music has to be very low for them to sell! Thus we have less good music today! Amazing that you are 14 and saw that, you must have music in you! freetubemusic(dot)com
@joshfontanella Hey kid, you're right! I'm 45 and I feel the same about nowadays! But thanks to you and other young generation things are in good hands!
@joshfontanella Hey kid, you're right! I'm 45 and I feel the same about nowadays! But thanks to you and other young generation things are in good hands! I love this tune!
@joshfontanella I know! I'm 46 and I really miss this kind of music myself. And I'm happy that someone as young as you has an appreciation for REAL music :)
@joshfontanella I'm around your age and agree.we need more of these bands.We do have some good bands today in my opinion.but nearly all of them are metal.It seems like lead guitar in normal rock is dead.
Haha... Michael Schenker makes Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth, and I hate to admit it but Alex Lifeson look like novice's... Schenker is the Guitar God. Nuff said
@Bojoe777NaBl I love Schenker & his music, it is great - but it's actually not very complex or cleverly constructed. Someone like Alan Holdsworth ( Alex Lifesons hero ) is on a different level altogether
Before personal computers, before the widespread use of the internet, before cell phones, before cable TV, there was just pure rock. I miss those days so. What a great snapshot of that era!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@kingofthedeep Hardly, you think a master would be able to atleast, have mediocore posture and style on the instrument he masterd.(not judgeing writeing)
"The fingers he uses for playing doesnt make sence. They are not efficent and very sloppy."
First of all, some dumb fuck who can't even spell "sense" telling one of the greatest rock guitarist of all time how to play is low IQ theater at it's finest, but pray tell -- his hand position is not efficient for WHAT? His hand position is ideally suited for the wide-but-perfectly-controlled and expressive vibrato he puts on nearly every sustained note.
MS is the most amazing guitarist i've ever heard Hands down, hes in my top 5 of favorite players ... I want that tone and feel but i can only dream of having it... lol
MS is just sick! No one was soloing like this during the early 80's, MS not only makes sentences but writes incredible storys with his V's. Unlike EVH who just makes sentences MS is just pure Shakespearean.
The only player that can combine lightning speed with melody and feel like this is probably the late great Randy Rhoads. Other than Randy, MSG stands alone.
This is a classic. I remember the first time that I heard him play (rock will never die) and hearing him solo. I was like "how come I've never heard of this dude before?!". He is a truly great player!
Slash is lower than Schenker, all da good guitar players can say you that.
If peoples only knows that Slash was taken in Guns'n'Roses 'cause he was "their last chance" (he've been refused in his official postulation on G'n'R) : They needed a guitarist and they took him just for the concert, and after Slash wanted to continue to play with them and they finally accept...
Well like you say, it's a shame he's not more famous than slash, who play, in my opinon, poorly
Yeah Schenker is infinitely better than Slash and Zakk Wylde. I mean it's not even close. They couldn't come up with a song like this or Into the Arena if their life depended on it.
You don't have to play fast to be a great player, that's all crap man. If the fastest guitarists were the or are the best Malsteen would've been surpass Carlos Santana and Hendrix by now. But you know what? He never will. He never will because it's all about feel and tone. And Michael Schenker has a great feel and tone to boot!
You know there are guitar players and then there is Michael Schenker!!..The man has emotion and a great tone that seperates him from a lot of his contemporaries. Pure genius.....
fuck thats clean guitar playing.

Schenker's mastery of the melodic solo is 2nd to none. His definition of "tone" is often copied, never duplicated. A true artist for all time.

Schenker was clever at painting the V the way he did.
Ying/Yang sort of.
He had been singing on that guitar for years.

The master of the flying V !
When the Japanese called him GOD, they knew what they were talking about.

MS is just sick! No one was soloing like this during the early 80's, MS not only makes sentences but writes incredible storys with his V's. Unlike EVH who just makes sentences MS is just pure Shakespearean.

The only player that can combine lightning speed with melody and feel like this is probably the late great Randy Rhoads. Other than Randy, MSG stands alone.

This is a classic. I remember the first time that I heard him play (rock will never die) and hearing him solo. I was like "how come I've never heard of this dude before?!". He is a truly great player!

i still can't believe Gibson never have him a signature or anything like that

They would rather give a signature too Lenny Kravitz :S than MS
really sad

Shenker is not the fastest player in the world but he plays with passion and style. His melodies are awsome.
Its a shame he's not as famous as players like Slash, EVH or Zakk Wylde.

Slash is lower than Schenker, all da good guitar players can say you that.
If peoples only knows that Slash was taken in Guns'n'Roses 'cause he was "their last chance" (he've been refused in his official postulation on G'n'R) : They needed a guitarist and they took him just for the concert, and after Slash wanted to continue to play with them and they finally accept...
Well like you say, it's a shame he's not more famous than slash, who play, in my opinon, poorly

Yeah Schenker is infinitely better than Slash and Zakk Wylde. I mean it's not even close. They couldn't come up with a song like this or Into the Arena if their life depended on it.

Agreed
karlmoles65 2 years ago
Come on man all the guitar greats love and respect Slash's playing.
Slash would be the first to tell ya MS blows him away and you can hear a lot of MS in SLash's playing esp in VR

I learnt slash's solos in one day. He plays so poorly, without emotion and without technical difficulties.
Neraelion 2 years ago
Haha thats rich man!
You are saying the solos to November Rain have no emotion? If so, YOU will never understand emotion in music.

A solo so easy to play, he just plays slowly. That's not why it's emotional :)
He's a weak guitarist.

You don't have to play fast to be a great player, that's all crap man. If the fastest guitarists were the or are the best Malsteen would've been surpass Carlos Santana and Hendrix by now. But you know what? He never will. He never will because it's all about feel and tone. And Michael Schenker has a great feel and tone to boot!

The strange think about Michael is that compared to Van Halen or R.Rhoads he is a little bit unknown...but he is surely hailed as a GOD. I agree.

You know there are guitar players and then there is Michael Schenker!!..The man has emotion and a great tone that seperates him from a lot of his contemporaries. Pure genius.....
