Thanks Michael for almost 50 years of unbelievable guitar playing, alien talent! Check out all the Rock bottom audio and video existing since 1973 and you'll never find two identical versions of that signature solo, always different, always a jaw dropping performance! Long live Maestro Schenker, the one and only God of Flying V🤘🤘

He said in an interview that Rock Bottom was a ever evolving song and he found ways to keep adding to it.

You can always find a faster shredding guitarist -- but so frickin' what! For inventiveness, expression, and sheer fun, Michael Schenker is unmatched. When I am in a creative slump, I listen to his stuff for inspiration. I recommend him to all of my guitar students.

Schenker is my favorite, especially when it comes to pure melody, but Sykes comes pretty close.

I once had a black velvet jacket, with a silver and black MSG patch on the breast pocket (like a school blazer...), obtained from a concert of MSG that I attended back in the day (early 80's). I wore this jacket to visit my uncle (himself visiting from Australia...). He asked me what the patch meant. . I said that the patch represents - ''Michael's School of Guitar '' He still remains one of my largest influences on guitar technique, his precision and melodic nuances were perfect, certainly to me at the time. One of Rock's greatest legends by far.

And he’s still rocking and creating. I think he’s at his happiest now than he ever was. True guitar hero Legend!

Schenker is unmatched when it comes to melody and fluidity put together, and that solo just makes you break out into a sweat! 😅 You could play it on repeat for hours and not get bored! 🎸🎶💥

I am honestly not sure anyone in the world can do what Michael is doing right now, regardless of age. What he is doing right now in terms of tone, creativity, and emotional is just incredible.

Michael Schenker the god of Guitar Rock!!!!!!! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!

ive loved michael schenker since 1977, ive been a guitarist since 1974, and Schenker is a great example of a man who has kept his sights firmly on his mission, and regardless of what life has thrown at him, has continued to be an amazing guitarist, every time he plays rock bottom , he injects something new into it, all the great albums from the 70's and until now , i dont think a better 61 yr old rock guitarist exists !!!! a treasure

Wow. He plays just right. Fast enough. Very melodic. A big variety of licks. Just very interesting to listen to.

I know... that clearly, in today's world, there are shredders that are light-years faster than Michael. But not back in the day. And regardless, Michael's phrasing is unmatched to this day! His vertical technique is still undiscovered. He's not my favorite guitarist... but in my opinion, overall, the greatest, electric, lead-guitarist of all-time. His leads are fucking STRAIGHT SUGAR !!!

¿Quiza la versión definitiva de rock Bottom? Is this one the ultimative Rock Bottom versión? Awesome guitar playing superb performance.

This is an excellent version no doubt, but, even MS himself could and can, not equal or duplicate the monstrous, the phenomenal version when he played that night at the Chicago Amphitheater and that it was recorder for posterity in the 1979 album 'Strangers in The Night'. Michael Schenker, and the rest of the band, were at the apex of their career at that time.
