[mschenker2]

The tune that flows by backing is "ANYTIME". Good tune .

[insomniac5150]

love that song in the background too, anyone know what it is?

[insomniac5150]

i love watching these guitar heros just playing on their own sitting down like this, awesome.

[titurey2]

Once in a while one has to turn back in time, click on that bloody clip, and embark into 3:34 and get ones ears and mind blown into the illuminating riffs by schenker, get back, start anew, and it is just plain recommendable then, to better not stop banging your head up until your neck hurts. rock on ...

[THEMAIDENME1]

IT'S TRUE!!!

[MichaelRivetteTV]

how about we turn on some lights!

[riffolaman]

I can't do that.

[gesp5151]

A very special player, very rare talent - we are lucky to see this (may not feel that way at first!)

[MrGlenntipton]

thanks,MSG-Anytime\m/

[TTIME55440]

Awesome!

[wave60]

I wonder if all the kids who listen to Rage Against The Machine, Slipknot, System Of a Down etc could even appreciate a guy who is so much more talented such as Michael Schenker. I'm glad I grew up on hard rock such as this.

[juicr500]

Michael's sound is like a roller coaster of emotion.

Absolutely beautiful and a truly rare gift.

[timjessa1]

who ever questioned he was a god ???

[HighMindedLunacy]

@FortisBong Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some sort of battle., Don't judge . . . you never know what a person's story is . . . leave that up to God.

[HighMindedLunacy]

@FortisBong I dunno..if you were young, immensley talented, and drop dead gorgeous you may have had an ego too. I betting you would, I would. That is a hard combination to have and not be a little heady. Not saying he *was* arrogant but if he was maturing has a way of flushing that out of a person. From what I can tell he's grown beyond that. He never really did like the "limelight" anyway. A guy who has deep insecurities masks those feelings with drink-so he's not as arrogant as you think.

[MrGlenntipton]

whats that song in the back ground?

[hempy1963]

@MrGlenntipton wrong anytime msg

[diagreen]

HE HAS THE MOST PERFECT TONE.

[Almuric7]

I can't believe people are mentioning Ted Nugent on here! Jeez the guys best riff, cat scratch fever, is just a poor mans smoke on the water lol. Nugent thinks he's great, good luck to him...

[zr24X4ROCKS]

nugent said what?

[bman462]

brown sound

[didikPF]

Starting from 3:33. Really a one - MAN - combo. One could listen through and through. He is really underrated. :-(

We love you Michael :-).

[scorps59]

like the bit at 0.50 when he asks if you want more,dam rite we do michael

[masterricardo7777]

That's hilarious that Ted Nugent called him a little spoiled Kraut. He should have shot him with a crossbow while he was at it!

[austingunsmoke]

@masterricardo7777 damn dude...maybe Nugent is the apex of music to your stunted ears but if indeed the Nuge(who I liked in his old days,musically at least)said that ,it was just out of intimidation of Schenkers pure,raw talent.Schenker was the top of the list/still is great and an influence to some of the scariest guitarists forever...R.Rhoads,Yngwie,etc.­..yeah,go out with your crossbow and kill a deer or something for no reason.Schenker vs. Nuge...No Contest!Mount Nuge's head on the wall.

[masterricardo7777]

@austingunsmoke You didn't read my post. I never compared Schenker to Nugent. I just repeated Nugent's quote about Schenker.

[judasmetal80]

Wow

I wish he would join Scorpions, and record a Kick ass album with many soloes

Heavy Metal legend

[Bojoe777NaBl]

@judasmetal80 hahaha he already played lead guitar on "Lovedrive" and "Another Piece of Meat" and "Coast to Coast".

[judasmetal80]

Yes i know that! I have all their cd*s.

There are plans for a Chencker brothers cd, according to Rudolf scencker, after Scorpions are retired.

keep rocking

[baghiera]

@judasmetal80

I just bought Schenker's unforgiven album from ebay.

Could you recommend some albums from Schenker?

I love those slow , touching melodies of him =)

Thank you,

[ironmaiko]

@baghiera

You should really get the "One Night At Budokan" Album.

It is a Live album which contains tracks from their first album to 1982.

It has many many many touching solo's (which you are probably looking for)

[xuxis2008]

You should buy the first 5 records, they are masterpieces: MSG (1980); MSG II (1981); Live at Budokan (1982); Built to Destroy (1983) and Rock my Nights Away, live at Hammersmith Odeon (1984).

[MrGlenntipton]

@baghiera UFO-Lights out

[HighMindedLunacy]

@judasmetal80 well he and his brother Rudolf plan on doing an album together once Scorpions retire from their current tour- should be a stellar piece of work.

[metanoia1983]

@judasmetal80 he's the first lead guitarist of scorpions at the age of 15 with his brother rodolf,6 yrs older than him.

[HeavyAgecom]

@judasmetal80 There are rumors that Rudolf and him would record album and Klaus could be as guest singer at couple of songs.

[chosenfool]

@HeavyAgecom It's more than a rumor. Rudolf himself said it, but it won't happen until after Scorps wrap up their farewell tour, which could go on until 2013 for all we know!

[tmthord]

zz mike the best ever

[iEatComedy]

nice, another guy playing fast neo classical riffs , where have i seen the b4?..um EVERYWHERE. lol, i like this guys stuff but his actual song solos

[randysrandy]

Another guy... ?

How about the guy who pretty much started it, and everyone followed? Its one thing to technically master a copy of something already done. Its another matter altogether to invent.

[MarcosEsquandolas]

where have you seen this b4? Absolutely no where my dumb comedic friend... no mortal man before or after can touch mr. schenker on any level... he literally invented so called "shredding" on the fly without even knowing it... now give me 20 heil schenkers for the salvation of your soul son

[randysrandy]

I give you 30, and an attack of a mad axeman to boot. Like he said, he started it. Now, don't all me dumb, or, or, I'll put some MSG on you.

[lstevens35]

your insaneeee;anotherrr guy????he is not even close to just being another guy;he is the ruler of guitar Gods!!!get some knowledge before you talk bs!

[garfield2279]

LOL 0.30 "oh fuck"

[vanbatio]

A HHA... he used his pinky .27-.32

[leicheterrorzone]

listening to michael for awhile makes me realize how much paul gilbert was influenced by him.

[turboneger]

yes man, thats definetly true!

[kliff215]

go ahead, my german brother bastard! why did yngwie get the credi you created?

[evanr00]

I wonder if Swisgar is based off Michael. I can totally see it lol.  "I am hows yous says...much more gooders than yous"

[abney20]

i can not find the tab anywher for the song "ANYTIME"!!!!! i LOVE THAT FREAKIN SONG and i'd love to find the tab for that song!!! anyone know where its at???

[pumkinbreath]

at the begining of the video hes just wanking and its still good.man i love this guys feel and sound!

[foreverfallout]

If you're talking about the part thats from like 10 seconds to 45 seconds, that's the intro solo to "Save Yourself" by msg.

[HelmutVonSphincter]

ohhhhh kay....hmmm think I'll throw my guitar out the window now.... shit. totally tasty shit right of the top of his head, he ain't even trying, he is just fooling around. I quit.

[axeslinger56]

@HelmutVonSphincter I know his stuff been playing for 42 years, i can hold one note and make it sound like ten, remember my friend, he is great, but hold the one note , and play your chops , very few people care at a a point Ronnie Montrose can give him a run for his money, check him out on Montrose, you can do it my friend,never say never, im on facebook as Tom Bernhardt, and i have a small blurb, check it out i'll get more on youtube down the line! keep rockin buddy!

[stillgena]

@HelmutVonSphincter ya think?

[btflash55]

@HelmutVonSphincter Thats too funny! My feelings exactly!

[trexx63]

pbmax, only sissy-dork from the MTV generation would inquire about a fucking sun tan. Here's a suggestion: redirect your inquiring mind on methods to remove your head from your ass.

Schenker music is a magnificent gift to the world!

It's great to see so many appreciative comments from true fans here. Save for the panty waste that wants info on sun-tans. What a dill-weed.

[atunconcaca09]

SCORPIONS AND MICHAEL FOR EVER

[turboneger]

michael always did great records. like them all

[dcmetro1]

saw him tonight at jaxx... he blew the roof off...

[1yesfan]

Me, too. He hasn't looked this great and happy in years. Great to see Gary Baden playing with him. I was a happy man, too.

[timechannel]

Like a well oiled Smith & Wesson .. HOTnReady ready to use!!!!!!!!!!!!

[recman1207]

His early UFO stuff is still some of my favorites!!!

[pbmax]

Is that a real tan or sprayed-on?

[lstevens35]

lol, there was nooo such thing as spray on tan back then dear.this is prob mid-80s.that is his real tan,he used to tan alot back then.

[archieferrarini]

Michael Schenker Kicks Ass !! He, along with Malmsteen-Page-Van Halen-Angelo-Have paved the way for young Shredders to follow .Just please,don't try to copy.The BEST guitarists created there OWN styles and that is why they are Guitar Gods !!! Enough said !! Your Welcome !! (((UFO)))

[wakclips]

Your God has FALLEN! I love MS also and have Complete respect for him as a person, not as a God. Don't Cut your soul Short & Don't dis the ALL MIGHTY.

Not judging, only a sincere thought.

[dlmoore2]

To address the personal struggles Schenker had in his life and if he would have had a better career had he not had those issues. i feel that maybe those struggles are what made him such a great player with such emotion.. listen to "Between the Walls" off of Force It and you feel such emotion out of a 19 year old.. It's a rare thing..

[bonfirejovi]

wow i didnt know he was technically that good... im impressed

[vampyros1]

Michael Schenker is a genius..."Force It" is one of those recordings that literally changed my life...

[archieferrarini]

Force It Rocks !!!

[masterricardo7777]

So much talent. I wonder if he would have gotten further in his career if he hadn't battled so many personal demons. Really a fantastic guitar player.

[headlesssoldier]

he's really good. his chops are a litte bit different than everyone else. Great rock/metal player.

[prokip901]

schenk fan since 75 though when hes all over the neck here, I'm not impressed as many players now can do that. I prefer his delicate touch of careful highlighting of songs as he did on walk on water, covenant & sharks..both sleepers if you ask me.I blame phil more for the same old song topics & tired approach of his stories. Schenk has a lot of chops though I've still yet to hear a complete cd that reminds me of why I first started liking him/influenced by him.

[masterricardo7777]

No, not in this video. Read enough interviews and you'll see he's a blazing asshole.

[lstevens35]

i dont know what interviews your listening to or reading,how is he an asshole in them?I find most he is very honest,open,somewhat shy, and very polite.your just jealous maybe??

[janderson2000]

He didn't say anything assholish on this video...I don't know what you're talking about.

[theultimateknowledge]

Schenker is self taught, Ingwie had the classical training- you have it backwards rapid287.

[janderson2000]

Neither are classically trained.  ...but Michael devastates Yngwie anyway.

[masterricardo7777]

An amazingly fantastic guitar player. Really a special player and I love his phrasing, tone, speed, precision, etc.... but jeez what a massive ASSHOLE!

[flyingvkid]

such a brilliant guitarist....i fear his true talent will only be recognised when its errrr.....too late

[stevieVantanna]

at least MSG has a song on Guitar Hero Metallica now.

[CaptainGrevious]

God...Michael has always been so beautiful...I adore him

[asdfasdsfsa]

how is he gettig this tone?.. what pickups, which distortionpedal? any suggestions? please..

[tmthy1012]

Why does he only use three fingers?

[mickycee64]

top 10 guitarist of all time ,hands down.

god i love his feel,,,classic flying v

[bellero3]

Yngwie is repititious and not so original. There is more to music than classical minor scales played at hyperspeed. One needs an actual strong melody structure underneath. Later...

[loveschenker]

michael schenker is king

[F22Ownage]

The quickest 3 fingers alive!

[KaterinaScorps]

I´m amazed...........

[RoscoRB88]

wat song are the riffs at 3.36 from? and michael is original as fuck, his playing is so clean :)

[vanbatio]

hes playing save yourself

[kramerxl]

Both Michael & Rudolf are king of Flying V

[bloobear1]

Hmmmmm Michael Schenker has obviously been learning some neo classical scales as he never used to play like that. It was all pentatonic blues scales. Used to be my hero and still is to a degree until I heard Yngwies far beyond the sun. Yet, Schenker is as good in a diffirent way. Best when he was with UFO

[vinniemooreufo]

michael schenker is as good as yngwie ?? hes about 40,000 tymes superiour

[rapid287]

You must understand that schenker is classical trained musician while yngwie is not.

[AXEFLYERFV]

Schenker has never been classical trained,he's self taught!

[tasdvl9]

I'm pretty confident if Michael Schenker really sat down and practiced alternate picking the phyrgian mode, he could top Yngwie's speed. He's that GOOD!

[rapid287]

It's not about that who's faster because they are artists and playing totally different styles, Yngwie doesn't want to be the fastest in the world he's playing as he likes and if there is someone faster than him fuck it and for schenker's the same.

[desmondchild43]

well aparently Yngwie was inspired by Micheal so basically Micheal is a god to Yngwie.

[L0stH0riz0n21]

I like the ending song, its sounds good.

[tasinhoschenker]

where did you find this photo in 06:22?

OMG this is Rudolf and Michael Schenker before the 1st Scorpions album...

[graidius]

Watch the clip...at 5.55 ...what the hell are they doing =) not very smart , being german and all =)

[schiaffer]

Yes, it may carry a negative connotation, but there were many GOOD things about regime, as well. The discipline, the training, the intellectual achievements. So to offer that salute, you have to take it with a grain of salt and look at the positives, as well. Hitler was a madman, but why focus only on that idiot?

[janderson2000]

lol woah...now that's funny

[gustavrea]

I bought one of their cd's at a yard sale and

when I got it home I noticed it was signed by

three of the bandmembers, cool shit but I have no idea what happened to it.

[Stratslayer]

Love ya Michael! You are DEFINITELY one of the world's master rock guitarists! I've always also loved your great taste in lead lines. You are supreme and I thank you so much for all of those beautiful moments in music!

[kirkwanglers32]

Michael Schenker very good English.

[MaidenFan24568]

Schenker is king!

[SecretWeapon625]

This is from Japanese TV? Man, it's amazing what so many of us westerners have missed out on (especially before YouTube came about)!

[carlos13fred]

michael is the best.period.

[zodiacbluesbaby]

He speaks English with a London accent! Most Europeans speak American English.

[guitarjoe12345]

amazing how he manages to play with only three fingers. He seem to never use his small but

[kirkwanglers32]

Master Michael.

[yonigga223]

There can be only one. I think we found out who right here.

[manni6192]

one of the guitarist is jan valton-is this right?

[BaseB3383]

I'm blown away by how easy he makes this look. And MS has huge hands.

[misterjaw76]

He could do a LOT with those big hands too ... Did I just say that!? Bad Tania!

[mschenker2]

Welcome. Ladies and gentlemen.

The last tune is a tune that enters the album of "save yourself" that means

"THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY ". Good tune .

[CaptainGrevious]

Not only is he a guitar god he was also a very beautiful man. He and Rudi were both physically striking men when they were young.

[ONMYOWN99]

Rudi still is. Mike not so much.

[hellcat1961]

What are Gay or what?

[yonigga223]

Ummm. The guys name is misterjaw. Pretty sure his stock in trade is suckin' cock.

[CaptainGrevious]

no asshole I'm female...check you self before you jump to conclusions huh..

[misterjaw76]

You can say THAT again! And I think they are both STILL HOT AS HELL! Michael had those gorgeous blue eyes and that blonde hair ... SIGH!

[kyopsis]

at the end what is the name of song please mschenker2 ????

[nerowei]

This was a japnese TV show program 'PURE　ROCK'.Maybe 1990 or `91. I was crazy for his guitar those days.

[AXEFLYERFV]

& recorded in LA,Hollywood around the release of Save yourself Album!

[90Metal]

It is great yeh MICHAEL SCHENKER IS GOD!!!!

[killybay2]

I think I saw Eric Clapton shining Michaels shoes during this performance.

[stratmarshall666]

omg hes german? i never knew that hahahahaha just fucking kidding schenker kicks ass

[tocko92]

at 0:19, how did he make the tone go down on a loose string? as i can see he doesnt have a whammy bar

[sumuglyman]

Neck dive, he pushes the neck away from the body.

[btflash55]

he pushes the neck forward on the vee. the neck on gibson vees can shift easily,but you have to be careful you dont snap it. i personally broke a number of them before i wised up and had a whammy bar installed!

[Toris93]

works well for SGs and Explorers too=)

[newjersey421]

UFO will never be the same without Michael. Vinnie Moore is a good guitarist, but he's definitely NOT Michael...!

[vinniemooreufo]

even if phil mogg is a prick which hes not duznt mean michael schenker made ufo he was a massive part of it but its like sayin oh ritchie blackmore had no impact on deep purple coz he was a dick head!

[xsited1]

When did he enter the witness protection program?

[rockindarren]

Michael Schenker is U.F.O.! Michael is such a great guitar player!I can see why he left U.F.O.:Phil Mogg is an asshole!I've met him;he was very rude to my friend and I last night!U.F.O. was here in Arizona last night!I hope Phil Mogg rots in hell!Michael Schenker Rules!

[ledzep248]

phil mogg ass fucks micheal jackson.

[easkateer]

WTF ur not suppested to be fucking swearing

[90Metal]

cool

[devilsclickingcanes]

He calls Cozy Powell "Pozy Cowell" -- funny

[crazytrain591]

what song is he playing at around 4 minutes?

[Kheijjo]

It´s "save yourself".

[crazytrain591]

thanks :D

[ledzep248]

its save yourself by msg.

[VILASpeople]

Someone know where to find the tabs, for the save yourself intro?

[buuye]

what song is that at the end of the video please?

[AXEFLYERFV]

The song is called "There has to be another way" from MSG SAVE YOURSELF Album!
