EVERYONE wanted Schenker in the late 70's. That included The Ro.ling Stones, Aerosmith and Ozzy Osbourne.

I love that slightly melancholic tone Schenker has, it makes him unique amongst heavy rock guitarists. It's that trademark sound that raises him above the pack, up there with Blackmore and Uli Jon Roth

What that is, he is using minor scales, some arpeggios, mixing that in with blues scale, major. He does not really use effects pedals much, Just a wah pedal and a wall of amps, most of the time. He never mindlessly shreds, he does not ever sound like boring shred olympics, like some guys do.

"Michael Schenker is truly a guitar virtuoso, and this performance is a testament to his unparalleled skills and musical genius. From his early days with the Scorpions to his time with UFO and then forming the Michael Schenker Group (MSG), Schenker has left an indelible mark on the world of rock and metal. His unique style, characterized by melodic solos and innovative riffs, has inspired countless guitarists around the world. Watching him perform 'Into the Arena' live in 1981 brings back so many memories of the golden era of rock. Kudos to the entire band for such an electrifying performance, and a special shoutout to Cozy Powell, whose drumming legacy will forever remain unmatched. Rock on, Schenker! 🎸🤘

michael schenkar is who inspired me to play guitar

One of the true greats.

It's not just as if Schenker is a great guitar player (maybe the greatest guitar player in rock/metal history), he's a phenomenal composer/songwriter as well. This is what sets him apart from greatly skilled guitar players, who couldn't write more than 2 captivating solos in their life, and what puts him at the level of a guy like Ritchie Blackmore. In fact, I would also say Schenker is one of the greatest composers/songwriters in rock/metal history. I feel as captivated while listening to Into The Arena, Lost Horizons, On And On, and Captain Nemo as I do when listening to great classical music.

"Underrated" LMAO. You contradict yourself. How could he be a "musician's musician" and be underrated at the same time? You are either fantasizing that you are in possession of some secret knowledge and special insight the rest of the world lacks, or you haven't got a clue what the word "underrated" means.

For me, this era of MSG is hard rock at it's best! Is their any band Cozy Powell doesn't make WAY better? What a great drummer. And this era of Schenker is my favorite. His playing, writing, and his cool factor, are at his all time career high.

"Underrated" LMFAO. Rock's greatest players cite him as an influence. You either know nothing about the world of rock guitar, or you're confused as to the meaning of the word "underrated."

That’s the day I had the car accident with Michael’s sister Barbara and Mark Paganini. We were heading from Hanover to Hamburg to meet Michael at the concert but my VW Porsche hit an icy spot on the highway and we flipped over five times. Luckily we all survived but the car was totaled. We all were taken to the hospital but only Barbara stayed because she had surgery on her knee the same night. Mark P. and I headed to Hamburg to catch up with Michael. After the concert we had to go to reception from the record company, and later that morning Rudolph drove us home to Barbara’s apartment in Hannover.

2018, Michael Schenker, one of the most underrated, underappreciated, and oft-ignored guitarists from the era that spanned the 70's right through until today. I have never seen him on the top 100, let alone top 200 best guitarists of all-time. Where would I place him? I'm not sure but he would be surrounded by names like Carlos Santana, Slowhand Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, and even Mark Knopfler. Yes...he IS that fucking good.

My eternal guitar hero. His melody have the element of courage and sorrow. I like very much. Much respect from Japan.

This one of my fave riffs of all time! Michael Schenker bends strings to ultimate rhythm and solos beyond perfection!

What a great band this was Chris Glenn was from the Alex Harvey band who never made it big in the U.S. but we’re a great Scottish band and there guitar player was great and played with Nazerath after Alex Harvey band. But just like this band they were all good musicians

Used to love these. Pretty sure I saw them at the Liverpool Empire on this tour . Looking back now and watching him play reminds me of just how good Ritchie Blackmore was

That's one badass introduction for the band. A perfect intro for a mind blowing performance.

A stellar guitarist with a stellar band supporting him. Chris Glen and the late Cozy Powell were an amazing rhythm section.

You couldn't make a movie about Michael's life because no producer or director would believe the script. It would be a hell of a movie though.

What a brilliant rock instrumental - stands the test of time!

My favourite Michael piece. I want to play this properly its fantastic.

Paul Raymond.R.I.P.

Great bass playing too. It really comes across in this live version.

Some ridiculous across-the-board mastery playing by every musician on that number. Especially Mr. Michael Schenker!

Simply pure music gem, amazing musicians! 80's Hard rock and heavy metal forever! Schenker is pure talent!!!! Cheers from Italy
