He is already 69 years old, an impressive and cool guy.

Seen him live loads of times, he’s the greatest guitarist in my opinion

You just had one of the masters walk in your shop. Mr Schenker is a total badass. There are only a handful of guitarist you can recognize by hearing them without seeing who it is. Michael is one of them. He had survived through the rough times and is still here to tell it. He is the man!!!!

Oh man, This is my guy! from the Scorpions to UFO, to MSG to now! This guy was my generation's Van Halen, just right before Eddie blew up.

I saw Michael live for the first time in 1977 opening for Rush(an amazing show by the way). He stood there on the right side of the stage, blonde hair covering his face, just shredding. Always a fan

Schenker is a fine guitarist. Underrated

How he’s getting on at 69.5 is just fantastic.

I have always gotten positive vibes from Michael. I can't say the same of some of the other guitar heroes I've had. Once I began to learn more about them it could be an enormous let down. Not so with M.S.

Here's what Schenker said about EVH. "I love Eddie's playing, you know, he's for me, by far the best guitar player. And even though I wasn't listening to music, you could never get away [from] hearing [it] anywhere... And so really, he was fascinating. I mean, he's my favorite guitar player."

His bass player’s (Dutchman Barend Courbois) dad played drums with The Jan van Halen Sextet. At the time when the Van Halen family were living in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. His name is Pierre Courbois and even now, he’s still a drummer!

Long Live MS

Seen him with ufo then msg always great player and showman,was not even a teenager when I saw him with ufo it’s great to see him going strong,at the time no one thought he would make 40 years old

Ok, what I've learnt after watching this video and reading the comments are two things: Michael doesn't like to shake hands and Michael doesn't like to look like an old man. These are two things that I also don't like. The only little difference between him and me is that he is the best guitar player and I am not.

I've gotten into U.F.O/Scorpions over the last couple of years. I knew of the Scorpions "Rock you like a Hurricane." But, I didn't explore their 70's material till the last couple of years. I had heard of U.F.O. and said that I should check em out for many years. And. only in the last couple of years have I finally dived into 70's Scorpions and U.,F.O. I know T-Bone Walker! I of course know the Briitsh Blues/Rock scene. That was my first main thing - really John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then Peter Green Fleetwood Mac - beyond the obvious Led Zeppelin/Cream/Jimi Hendrix. The 60s(and 70s) British Blues/Rock was my father's main vinyl record collection; but, he did have one American Blues record - a T-Bone Walker! Most of it was Jazz and Jump Blues which is okay; but, there's a couple of songs on there that will absolutely blow you away! Listening to T-Bone Walker is like the "Back to the Future" scene where they're playing ballroom Jazz, and then Michael J Fox goes off on a Chuck Berry and then 80's heavy metal licks . .. and then goes back to ballroom Jazz horn section! But T.Bone Walker did lataer make more modern good all around songs, and with great guitar. His discography is pretty hard to dig up; but, it's well worth it!

How is he only 30 years old still?!

This came out a while ago. Schenker 🤘🏼🎸🎶💫💫🎵🎶🎵💫🔆🌀

@@johnnyrocker7495 I saw UFO on the No Place To Run tour. Chapman mullered every Schenker SITN song. I also saw UFO on the Walk On Water tour which was Schenker’s return to the band. His playing & solo-ing was note perfect as was his live reproduction of the album new songs. Iv seen Michael Schenker live with his own band many times. He has always excelled. Laurence Archer on the High Stakes tour was the only guitarist who could reproduce Schenker’s excellence. Michael Schenker at 67 is still performing UFO SITN songs note perfect. Richie Faulkner recorded Lights Out on his album with his new band Elegant Weapons & it is a superb rendition.

Giant fan of MS since the early 80s-He has always inspired my playing abilities since day one-MS helped build the metal scene and the emotion he puts into his playing is fantastic-Today all we get is 11 yr old kids trying to shred faster then the next kid- THATS NOT MUSIC OR CREATIVITY

I worked with German clients and partners for more than 9 years in a big operation, and they can be as nonsensical as anyone else. They're regular people, like you and me. It's only due to cultural traits they're very assertive when speaking, and also (for some reason I wasn't able to determine) very well trained at pointing fingers to others, making you believe they're so right and you're so wrong. But they won't catch you off-guard once you're able to recognise such potential situations, and then you can make their logic trip and tumble, since it isn't better than any other. Take Michael Schenker, we all love him. He doesn't listen to new music because he doesn't want to get influenced. It sounds like it makes sense when you first hear it. But then you think about it, and it doesn't make sense at all, because you grow by constantly taking and sharing, not by remaining isolated.
