Seriously. Michael had some seriously heavy riffs, and his vibrato has inspired ton of guitarists, whether they know it or not.

I don't think they're underrated. When I saw them in the 70's you couldn't even get tickets to their shows!
The five albums Michael Schenker made with UFO back in the 70s are maybe some of the best albums ever made!!! If you haven't listened to them yet, do now. Even if you don't listen to Hard Rock, you really must hear them.

The more I really listen to Michael Schenker, the more impressed I am and the more I’m inclined to move him up my list of greatest guitarists in rock history (which is obviously highly subjective). He just seems to always sliver the jamming while remaining musical - like virtually on every song.
UFO are one of the best bands ever. Should have been in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame years ago! So under-rated!
Michael Schenker's is a God, he can play anything from his flying V and it would always sound flawless... One of the most legendary and influential guitarists of all times. Iconic in every way possible.

Music is entertaining for sure. God is God . Completely different to a creature created by a creator 😊
Strangers in the night was an incredible live rock album. The performance and sound mixing was fantastic and to this still sounds great. Michael's playing is legendary. It always has been. 🎸
Great band, great song. Maiden play their fair share by having added it to each show as the intro tape. Doctor doctor has now become the quintessential Maiden concert opener and a larger audience got to know this great song.
Michael Schenker is such a under rated Guitarist he deserves much much more credit

Had Schenker stayed with UFO after the live album came out, and then went back to record a new studio album, UFO probably would've made it fairly big in the States. They were on the verge when "Strangers" came out, but of course, Michael had quit by the time that came out. What could've been.

They did fine without him. Love the Chapman era. They even got on TOTP after he left with Young Blood and Lonely Heart. The reason why UFO didn't hit the big time was lousy management and an indifferent record company. I don't think any of them wanted the big time but they sold 20M records which is very respectable.

Michaels biggest fear was becoming a jukebox and he purposely stopped that process by quitting.
My favorite group and song. I have this on an 8 track ,yes it still plays !!!.I was 17 then back in 1975.WOW WHAT TIMES WE HAD.
Hes happy to be underrated. He dont want to be part of the bunch of shittt out there amd ordinary. He is an special guitarist
Awesome!! They rock!!

Right from the start............ What a guitar player!!!

Great observation.I’ve written any about of stuff for myself but I’ve never realised and never written one until you pointed it out.Yeah now I think about it I can think of quite a few great tunes that are driven by that
If he had stayed with UFO through the decades and kept it together with Phil they would have been up there with the biggest bands in the world, like Def Leppard, instead of the fractured undeserving history they ended up with. Still, I guess thats easy to say in hindsight. Thanks, all the same, for the great music and memories Michael.

Michael Schenker is so cool that he wears to two sunglasses!
When Schenker discovers a new effect device, he writes a classic rock song. Your bedroom guitarist would just buy another effect device.
greatest hard rock band period.........................................
Cant believe he said "Doctor Doctor" dindt become popular until 70 SITN album? WOW I knew that was a hit (along with Rock Bottom) when I first picked up "Phenomenon" in 1974.
I got the “Axe Attack” compilation album Christmas 1980 with Doctor Doctor on it (plus lots of other iconic tracks by other bands) loved UFO ever since…they are the dictionary definition of underrated
Classic! !!!!!!
Thank you

Dr. Bruce Dickinson? Hello from Helsinki!
Doctor, Doctor was/STILL is all these year's later my #1 UFO SONG & I know it's not the popular consensus, but I had all the early ones, and saw them in 76 (I think 🤔) memory gets hazy all these yrs later, but AC/DC opened for them & they blew AC/DC off the stage !! Seems like it was the Powerage or Live Wire tour w/Bon Scott, so tells you the time frame 🎤🎸🎤🎸🎤
The first Man, the first Guitar hero that i Saw. It was in 83 at Paris. I was sixteen. I didn't be believe my eyes. Incredible man .. Attack of the mad Axeman.
Ment Mr . Schecker back in 1986 in Tucson, Az..... Im sadden to see his condition today., always wanta to be his frontman

With this line- up, MSG might be playing at its best. I'd like to see Michael bring on Herman Rarebell, Francis Bucholz, Paul Raymond, Wayne Finley & Gary Barden as the line up for the band - that would be almost perfect in my opinion!

@@BluesLicks101so true. Makes me cringe the way Rudi acts on stage, almost as if to deflect attention away from his shit guitar playing 🤣🤣 He always needed other guitar players ... Uli, Michael, Mathias ... he would never have made it as a single guitar player in a band.
Michael is without a doubt, a great player, who portrays a lot of feeling in his work. UFO were basically a almost nearly major outfit in the 70s who got lucky, when they found him,as he took them to a place they probably, would never have reached. I knew MS and UFO in the 1970s,before he joined. This is , IMO only of course. Don't shoot the messenger cause of the message. UFO's contribution to what was then, the genre of " HEAVY ROCK" [not metal] is saluted and acknowleged i am sure by all.

Michael is a guitar player's guitar player.
Iron Maiden opens their concerts with Doctor Doctor.
Сколько я слушал разных групп, гитаристов начиная с ранних 70х, когда то фанатея от Блекмора и Пейджа, но сейчас спустя более 40 лет пришел к выводу что самые лучшие - это Майкл Шенкер и Гари Мур. Даже не знаю, что их отличает от других.
The track was released in 1973 but became a hit in 1979/80.
Very cool! What's with the double sunglasses though? The upper ones look like Axl Rose's fron the Paradise City video.
