He plays with the mind of a composer. Michael Schenker is one of a kind.

it is nice to find others who appreciate m schenker as much as i do. most underated gutarist ever!! he is a true genius with the demons which usually accompany it

Totally rad! I've always loved this instrumental by MSG. Michael Schenker just rips on this and the some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard for sure.

Schenker writes the greatest instrumentals. Storytelling.

it was so amazing watching michael schenker live... words can't explain how amazing this guy is. the funny thing is.. he came to a very very small club in el paso and not many people attended. its kinda sad how not many people know about him, but i'm very glad i do :) i was so close to him i was able to actually grab his guitar. haha. long live MSG freaking amazing song!!! :))

Yeah, sensational guitar work. He could play anything that came into his head.

Michael Schenker ist und bleibt der weltbeste Gitarrist aller Zeiten!! Wenn man den mal live gesehrn hat da bleibt einen nur der mund offen ;D

Michael Schenker is the best guitar player ever, and one of the most under-rated as well

I bet all the bands you mentioned had there mouth, ears and eyes wide open when he played this and bowed when MS finished.

I learned this song on guitar on some book of guitar lessons and audio tape. Aside from the emotion and technique of his playing, he was also right on as a rock-composer. thanx for posting!

My god!!! Love this version. It must be from Dortmund/Westfallenhalle big concert back in 1983. Many big bands where there. Like Ozzy, Def Leppard , Iron Maiden, Judas Priest , etc. Saw the whole thing on national TV a couple of months later. And i loved every second of it and i still do!!

M.Schenker = The Master Of Rock!!

Nostalgia at his best. R.I.P. Cozy Powell

The amazing thing is, it sounds as good or better than on record. This guy is insane. Melodic,tone,phrasing and speed, this guy has them in spades.

Easily the best performance of the song ever. Amazing concert!

love this so much

The sharpest pen there was of german playing, structuring and performing. MS was a fierce player. And I would also like to mention Chris Glen. The scottish are no joke.

It's from RockPop in Concert, Dortmund 1983, and has been on TV in March 1984. Maiden, Scorpions, Priest, Def Leppard, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Krokus and MSG on stage - LEGENDARY concert!

genius. this guy has the best vibrato.

When you are asked to play lead guitar for UFO at 16 years old, you must be good. Saw him in the early 80's with MSG at Manchester Apollo...Absolutley incredible guitarist.

No guitarist has anything on Michael Schenker and on this one but homage to the guy.

the greatest guitarist in rock history!!

MSG/Schenker is the reason i like hardrock so much. This is so fucking great!

That man can write some songs, unbelievable

Still a fucking great rock instrumental after all those years!!! Thanks for sharing this, folks!

Amazing!! One of a kind!

The "good ol' days!" When people could actually play!

Genius!

How in the hell do you "Forget" ........... But glad to have you back.

Amazing...beautiful...

now a days he isn´t very famous but he is a guitar god

The best self taught geetar player ever.

You tell me that during the early 80's when Gary Moore and Eddie Van Halen first listened and saw this they paused with their jaws opened in awe...etc.

It doesn't get better than this! Michael at his best and Chris Glenn's excellent bass guitar.Great band!

Absolutely fucking sick. Schenker at his absolutely best. I love how he locks that V down on his leg and just focuses in like a laser beam on producing that incredibly liquid phrasing. He's the opposite of a poser.

budokan live album .....what a blast from the past!!!!!!!!!!!

somokeing speakers song..... love it...

I never forget ;p He is pretty much Beethoven of guitar (As Lips from Anvil put it) Even now at 57 he still can play...and play GREAT. I saw MSG in 2004 and I was just blown away.

The show is from 83

So coooool !!!

CHRIS GLEN ON BASS, MAKES ME WANT TO QUIT PLAYING HE'S SO DAMN GOOD.

why are musicians not this cool anymore? i want fun rock back!!!!

Jesus thats fast and precise!

you gota love that shenker 'aww' tone

I can never watch this just once, i bet I've seen it 50 times......I think this and his solo in Only u can Rock me are my 2 all time favs...his playing was so unique and unlike all others....loved it then, love it still...good video post blackmetal

es kann nur einen geben wow

I have seen many interviews with Hammett.Schenker was as big as an influence on him as any guitar player ever.Listened to UFO/MSG so much he says his wife knows all the stuff.

amazing

He knew what he was doing,

fuck yeah i have this whole concert on dvd.

マイケルシェンカー最高！

Michael Schenker is a bad mo fo! Check out early Scorpions or UFO. Unfricken believable!

Schenker owns

Great song

At the end of video, about 3:30 or something, there's a lead you don't hear very often at these days. Man, these guitar players were awesome back at the 70-80s

great song

yep that was a pretty good reminder

Michael Schenker is the motherfucking man. Top 3 all time for me. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!

this video makes me want a gibson V!

great!!

個人的には、テッド・マッケンナとクリス・グレンの リズム隊、大好きです。（ごめん・・コージーファン） 特にクリスのヌメヌメしたベースライン最高！

If you have heard the recordings of Michael Schenker from 72-84 you would know that he is a true genuis. Most if not all great bands/great guitar players have the "peak" or "glory" for about ten years.I love MS's playing as much as the next guy but please don't think he's gonna rip it ala 1977

amazing giutarist

Yeah and was asked by Ozzy, Rollingstones, Aerosmith, Kiss and Whitesnakes to join them but turned them all down...thank God he did. One reason Ozzy asked Schenker was that he was Rhoads fav guitarists...true.

Wow!!!!!

Bought it the day it came out, pre cd era . Guitarzrcool♫ Ͼђřḭṧ ЯσΫ♫

Checkout UFO's "Give her the Gun" on here, a lost classic, from the classic line-up

So was Graham Bonnet, Rainbow's singer.

reductoababsurdum,I agree ten thousand%,saw him on the fourth of july and it made my year.Yep that there is a fucking legend!

2:17 so epic...

lest we forget cozy powell the best drummer in the world rip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rippin'

@redmed10 I was at that gig, he was fucking amazing, they upstaged BCC in my view

Would have been nice to be there

Sorry mate it's Ted McKenna. That's a positive!

now u know from where rhoads hammett and etc came out

Michael Schenker Group. Guitarist of the 70's band UFO. Check'em out.

1983

Michael Schenker

It's from Dortmund 1982

I have this show on dvd, this has a few different camera angles, but I am sure it is from the 1983 show at the Hammersmith. I can get you the address for the guy I bought it from. He's cool with alot of MSG/UFO stuff and it was about 5 bucks a dvd, some with more than 1 show on them; just mail me on here.

1:32 was the invention of crabcore.

Was anyone doing this shit when this album came out!.

I play guitar and shit, but hell don't you wish you could write stuff like that.Talk about being able to carry a musical thought and keep it fresh at every turn.Damn him

This Guy was my Hero from the days of UFO still is even with the likes of Satch and Vai Michael is still up there So typical of the music game how he was so ripped off money wise

Was going to o2 academy to see MSG support BCC but £40 for 45 mins of Michael's stuff was too rich for my blood. If he was main act it would have been different. This video makes up for it.

@fatalerror482 Huge MSG/UFO fan. But the 70's Scorps were just as epic. I suggest you check it out.

He is my GOD

Schenker was Satriani before Satriani was
