I've been mystified, mesmerized and magnified Since I first heard them in the early 80s , some of jabs solos on all albums are freaking BLISTERING , SPEED , MELODIC TILL TUES. EAVEN TODAY I HAVE A NEARLY IMPOSIBLE TIME FINDING SOMEONE WITH MOST OF JABS SKILL THE MAN IS A VELVET HAMMER AND DOESNT GET HALF THE ATTN OR AKALADES HE SHOULD , NO DISRESPECT RUDY BUT JABS AND THAT BAD TO THE BONE EXPLORER ARR THE SCORPIONS

What a cool interview! The great thing about this extended interview is I think fans really get to see his personality shine through, rather than just in the limited sound bites everyone is used to seeing. I've had the chance to interview him myself twice and have some extended backstage visits as well, and while he is very thoughtful, he also has an amazing sense of humor, which one can definitely see in this interview. One of my all-time favorite guitarists, and he is criminally underrated when it comes to top guitar player recognition.

MJ totally under appreciated by rock fans. One of the best-especially for Scorpions. Me and my brother snuck in some photo gear taking photos (film negative not digital) at a show. MJ was right in front of us and saw me on my brother's back with the camera. He posed with some great action, did a solo pointed at us and I gave him the thumbs up. He smiled and went to the other side. A great performer, humble and didn't mind the camera in the audience. This was in the 80s when camera, recording devices were not allowed.

I agree with this and most other entries. Nice, interesting, from a great musician. Just one little reservation - he ignored, twice, Michael: first time telling about himself joining the band, then about Lovedrive (no influence at all - really?). In the story as the Scorpions have it, Michael has been erased from the Lovedrive context and this just isn't fair as he wrote and played on, like, a half of the record. Also the face grimace Matthias made about Michael was unkind. Other than that, cool guy. Also, it's pleasant to see in his eyes, the look, that he is a happy, fulfilled man.
@hope5443 3 ай бұрын
@@greg-warsaw4708sorry but Michael made his own bed. He walked out, most likely because of ego. Matthias doesn't HAVE an ego because he loves music, as well as his fans. I followed guitarist for 4 decades. He is the purest non poser I have ever witnessed. His style belongs 100% to who he is. He owes nothing to Michael or anyone, and they are lucky he was humble as well as brave enough to come back and take on the role, going on to create some of the most unique and recognizable riffs in all of music.

Matthias has always amazed me! But his performance on unplugged in Athens is one of his greatest performances ever!

That energy is shared, Mathias. That’s why we come to see you, too! Thank you for decades of great music and ecstatic shows. Long live Scorpions!

He gets no respect when it comes to comparisons with Uli and Michael. But he's easily my favorite of the 3, and without any argument, he's been the most successful for the Scorpions. The hardest shit for me to learn as a guitar player was his sick scales ascending up the fretboard in the Hurricane solo. He is so criminally underrated.

Glad to hear l am not the only one who prefers Matthias to the other two. I love all three but Matthias is such a tasteful and dynamic player...always been a huuuuge fan of his style!

I have thought that the unfavorable comparison to the other two is unfair. He is absolutely at the foundation of the bulk of the hits. BLACKOUT and ANIMAL MAGNETISM are critical in my early hard rock/ metal development. Technique combined with melodic appeal, the whole package.
