Michael Vivaldi Schenker ♥ lol

timing*

Yes he is!!!!

David Surf any negative comments are by fucking retards 😂

david, it could just be someones honest opinion, i mean somewhere, somebody thinks that motley crue is a talented group. you cant always force someone to appreciate the finer things in life, or as the old saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it think" (lol drink)

Izzi Michaels I love Michael, but I think Motley Crue are great. Mick Mars is a great guitarist. How you said your self, difference of opinions here.

Mick Mars? Even Mick would say Michael is one of the greatest ever, if you're going to make a comparison use someone of equal stature, I've been playing guitar for 43 years and I still have trouble keeping up with schanker, I could play Mick Mars in my sleep, thats not to say they didn't make good music but he was never on Schankers level.

@@vegashdrider You're right that Michael is one of the greats, at an entirely different level than most guitarists who've achieved fame. But...just a minor suggestion here...but you should probably try to learn how SchEnker (yes, with an E) is properly spelled before trying to come across as a guitar expert while trying to put down another fan for his/her personal perspective about guitarists. Kinda hard to earn any credibility about your own perspective of the subject when you don't even know how his name is spelled...literally decades after he's made the name for himself that you're apparently trying to defend. I personally don't have an opinion about Mick Mars one way or another. But regarding Michael SCHENKER (with an E, not an A), you're right that he's on another level than most.

One of the Best 🖖♥️

Been a HUGE fan of Michael's ever since I first learned of him with UFO's Lights Out album, but I never ever got an opportunity to see him live until FINALLY in 2009 on his Schenker/Barden tour. I was like you -- mouth wide open but also with the hairs on my arms standing straight up. He was soooooo good, clean, perfectly timed and HAVING A BLAST PLAYING that he actually gave me the chills just watching him perform every note I knew by heart. Such a thrill to finally see him play live.

@@nroppo yes, he's a guitar god, and he's playing now as good as he ever did. I was about 10 feet away from him and he genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself, long may it continue.

"if it sounds good, it is good" - eddie van halen... :)

you really can, both amazing players

Whos that?

Guitarist for Arch Enemy and Spiritual Beggars.

and i feel like richie faulkner of Judas Priest also hugely influenced by micheal

Do

Trying to get Ya self upgraded? 😅😉

no wonder kirk hammett sounds like his little brother with heavy wah wah pedal abuse!!

What do you think 70's Heavy Metal was? Lol. Michael was the original lead guitar player of the Scorpions which were one of the original Heavy Metal bands along with Deep Purple and Black Sabbath which were all considered "heavy blues rock" or "heavy rock"

@@Headbanger9000 Black Sabbath were originally a blues band but because Iommi chopped his fingers off, he had to detune his guitar to play hence the heavy sound.

Give it a shot! I thought that way for a while and then did it, totally awesome even if I don't have the discipline to be *really* good, just jamming out some pentatonic shred-wankery is still awesome

First heard him play when I was 10yrs and he was the reason ive been a life long guitarist Amazing style and melody Thanks Michael

it's the opposite you know adrian smith said that one of his idols is michael schenker

evyatar levy thank you for the note. adrian smith is my favorite iron maiden guitarist, but for me michael schenker is still greater. I also think their playing style has something in common, they both make amazing and unique compositions with an extreme ammount of feeling

me too i love them both and more i like Janick dave murray and Dennis Strreton both with maiden and praying mantis by the way gary barden the vocals of MSG was a vocals for Praying Mantis as well

Adrian Smith cites Schenker as one of his biggest influences. Good looking out Tom!

Of caurse Miha Koncilja​ i have the same opinion michael schenker is my favorite His my guitar idole
