"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! 🎸🤘

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

@michaelcraig9449 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

I will never forget the first time I heard about MSG. I was just starting to really get into music, and it was a very exciting time. I started buying Metal magazines like Circus and Hit Parader. I was reading a mag and there was an ad for MSG's 2nd album, the logo with the V and red MSG was so cool I ran out and bought it. I have been a huge fan ever since.

"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.

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.

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.

I've been into guitar players since I was 9 -- I turn 40 this year and have been hearing about Schenker for decades.
