Michael Schenker is a living legend. I was very fortunate to meet UFO when the “Force It” album came out. I brought my album to a show and all the members of UFO signed it. Phil Mogg, Michael Schenker, Pete Way, and Andy Parker, It is one of my most prized possessions.

A legend indeed. My favorite all time guitarist. I had the surprise chance meeting with him at a bar the same night I saw him live once. Drank 3or 4 beers with him and Robin McAuley. Chatted music for bout an hour.

An absolute Legend of rock music. Many famous metal guitarists of the 80s and 90s have very high regards for this Man. He seems to have overcame his trouble past and is looking better with age. Congratulations on a great career MS!

His attitude and outlook is SO positive now. He's very healthy and happier than ever in these last years. Somehow, he's found it, peace and understanding in where he belongs in the world. I wish we all had that!

Incredibly talented guitarist who was never interested in being famous, just being as one with the music. Someone once referred to Michael as " mercurial ".........and I'd say they were spot on.

Saw Michael Schenker Fest live in 2019... never seen a happier guitar god... and WHAT a player he is! At his age, to play 2.5 to 3 hours is a feat in and of itself. And I agree with another poster that he blew off Jimi Hendrix's guitar.. not interested in the past and/or any of the memorabilia... He just loves what he does and he is more of an innovator than anything else. His work on the Strangers in the Night album alone was stunning.... ROCK ON MICHAEL!

What a legend.

Hugely influential guitarist with an instantly recognizable style.

Mike inspired so many guitar players from the 80's-90's. All of them really.

Guitars are just tools, Michael never idolized them or collected them and during his Gibson years he had no more than a couple of Flying V to be played , period. He's truly the real deal, he doesn't care about any super advanced equipment, he needs just an amplifier and a wah pedal, the magic has always been in his hands.

If you want to hear him at an amazing show, type in Courvoisier Concerto/Lost Horizons from LIVE at Castle Donnington. It's a really hard to find CD that he did after he had just lost Graham Bonnet and Gary Barden walked out on stage and said: "Surprise, surprise, Good to see you all Donnington" and The Mad Axeman proceeds to burn England to the GROUND!!! CRANK THAT SHIT TO STUN!

My favorite guitarist . Fan from Chicago.

Wow.Enjoyed that.

Crazy Talented

Amazing. Michael seems to be one of the most human, and coolest rock guitar players from germany. I'm a big fan of his playing, and uniqueness as a human being, and artist. It's not mere coincidence that he's considered to be one of the most influential blues rock guitar players from Europe, together with the almight Gary Moore.
