	Michael Schenker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Schenker (born January 10, 1955) is a hard rock and heavy metal guitarist of UFO and a founding member of the Scorpions.
		Michael resurrected the Michael Schenker Group with all new players and recorded three decent albums and toured yearly to appreciative Schenker-heads around the United States and Europe.
		Michael fell on hard times in the early 2000's after his divorce in which he lost rights to his own music, his Mercedes and his prized Flying V guitars.

	Michael Schenker
		Along with Gary Moore, Michael Schenker never quite reached the same level of acclaim stateside as he did in Europe (and other parts of the world), despite possessing exceptional, and quite influential, six-string skills.
		Michael appeared on the group's 1972 full-length debut, Lonesome Crow, and toured with the outfit (all at the age of 17).
		Schenker's pace of issuing solo albums only increased during the early 21st century, as such titles as 2000's all-instrumental Adventures of the Imagination, plus a staggering three albums in 2001 alone (MS 2000: Dreams and Expressions, Odd Trio, and Be Aware of Scorpions) saw the light of day.

	Michael Schenker CD Reviews
		My exposure to Michael Schenker's work was basically limited to what I'd heard on the radio (some U.F.O. and a little MSG in its various incarnations).
		All of the familiar Schenker sound and stylings are in copious helpings on "Adventures Of The Imagination." Sometimes it's nice to hear rock'n'roll as it was meant to be heard - with a solid beat and melodies that can linger in the mind for days.
		Michael Schenker enlisted the support of John Onder on bass and Aynsley Dunbar on drums.

	Michael Schenker Interview 2004
		Michael: To be honest, when I had my separation from my wife I was depressed for six months and I did not practice for a whole year.
		Michael: Yeah, it was the words that were spoken on the Christian channel that healed me instantly.
		Michael: I remember being 16 years old and lying there talking to my girlfriend and I told her, “You can drop me off in the middle of China and I would know what to do.” I always knew.

	MICHAEL SCHENKER
		Schenker has a reputation for being a bit difficult to work with, "just this side of Ritchie Blackmore" as it was described to me yet in our conversation what I sensed was a man who knew what he wanted, knew how to get it and didn't see the need to suffer any fools gladly.
		MICHAEL SCHENKER Well, the UFO thing is something that can not really continue under the circumstances that it has because I think that UFO deserves better management and it just seems to be too hard to fight.
		The Michael Schenker Group has been there ever since I played guitar, really, because what the Michael Schenker Group is, is anything that involves me. I mean, you can even call UFO the Michael Schenker Group, I mean, I can because I am in it and it is myself with other musicians.

		Schenker was staying and a press conference has been arranged right after the live show.
		Michael: First of all, in case you are wondering, it’s not a matter of royalties or business in general.
		Michael: We were in Stockholm a week ago or so, and I was doing interviews like I do now, when my tour manager came in with a fl eye, very upset and ready to quit the tour.

	Michael Schenker
		Michael Schenker began his career with his brother Rudolph and the Scorpions while in his mid-teens and shortly thereafter was spotted by English group UFO and was asked to join them for their first Chrysalis record, Phenomenon.
		Leaving UFO, Schenker appeared with the Scorpions on their "Lovedrive" album before going solo and completing the album "MSG" in 1980, Schenker continued to tour and build a reputation and "MSG," the Michael Schenker Group, centered on Michael's creative direction that ran five years and produced five successful records.
		But unfortunately, Schenker and the group were also reminded of the stress that working together brought on and they once again, despite the protest and dismay of their fans, disbanded.

	Blogcritics.org: Review: The Michael Schenker Group - Live in Tokyo 1997 DVD
		Schenker was a founding member of The Scorpions and recorded on their 1972 album, Lonesome Crow when he was 15.
		Schenker's guitar is razor sharp and vocalist David Van Landing is clear as a bell.
		I saw Schenker a few years ago at a small club in Virginia with Rick Derringer opening for him, and I was not that impressed with the show.

	Michael Schenker/Vinnie Moore Live!
		I was also excited about seeing the legendary Michael Schenker for the first time in nearly ten years.
		Schenker was obviously affected by the sparse attendance, and perhaps was a bit drained from the heavy load of touring.
		Michael Schenker was supported by the same cast that supported Vinnie Moore: Shane Gaalass on drums, Barry Sparks on bass guitar, and Wayne Finley on guitars and keyboards.

	UFO - Covenant reviewed by The House of Shred (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Schenker is all over this track and will have fans staring with familiar awe at the speakers churning out this sonic apology of sorts.
		Schenker rescues the next track, Cowboy Joe, from mediocrity with some exciting rhythm playing, breathtaking acoustic work and one of his most blazing Flying V assault attacks in recent memory.
		Schenker and Mogg are intelligent enough to know which side their bread is buttered on, and they have proven once again that the product is indeed greater than the sum of the parts.

		But for various reason, whenever Michael has flirted commercial success, he's either been unwilling or unable to grab the brass ring while it was still in front of him.
		At Michael's peak, when he was hitting on all cylinders, each of his albums contained great songs and stunningly brilliant guitar solos.
		What makes Michael's tone so distinctive and killer, is the way he uses the wah like an equalizer to add color and emotion to his playing.

	Michael Schenker - Dean Artist
		Free of any other obligations, Schenker set his sights on a solo career, forming the much famed Michael Schenker Group immediately thereafter.
		Schenker's second go-around with UFO was brief, yet it did spawn a world tour as well as an all-new studio effort, 1995's Walk on Water.
		The first models introduced by Dean in 1977 were the V and Z. Like their counterpart the ML, they were designed with the ultimate in tone, sustain and playability in mind.

	Michael Schenker - "Adventures of the Imagination" reviewed by The House of Shred
		From his vinyl debut on Scorpions "Lonesome Crow" at age fifteen, through his legend-making stint with UFO and his on-again off-again Michael Schenker Group, the man once referred to as "the Blonde Bomber" has amassed a large catalog of guitar-driven rock within which can be found many classic songs.
		The melody is signature Schenker, but this track fails to create much excitement as it is a bit repetitive melody-wise and never really delivers the blistering solo that you're hoping for.
		Disc closer "Hand In Hand" is a little different for Michael Schenker as the main melody is carried by a very seventies sounding synth.

	Daily Vault - December 23, 2003
		My Michael Schenker story, in the last five years, includes him canceling two tours at the last minute for sketchy reasons that will probably never be accurately told as I found myself sitting on botched travel itineraries due to his whimsical shifts in character.
		As far as I'm concerned, Schenker is one of the few guitarists out there, past and present tense, who can actually force a vocalist to take a back seat to his playing with his creative string-bending.
		MSG is an album that has gone overlooked in the metal genre largely in the same way that the early 80's version of the Michael Schenker Group was overtaken by MTV and the Hollywood hair explosion a couple of years after the band's formation and release of this album.

		The MSG debut is a timeless heavy metal classic that is on the same level as anything Schenker did with UFO.
		Michael Schenker, who is also known for his early work with the Scorpions, is a great guitarist, but I could never bring myself to fork over the bucks for his cds that are more common as pricey imports than as anything domestic.
		This particular collection features two discs, one of his work with UFO, and the other a disc of some of the man's best solo work, mostly from the Micheal Schenker Group but also a few from the McAuley Schenker Group.

		For The Michael Schenker Story Live, Michael Schenker assembled a new band, comprised of former members of Mannequin, Yngwie Malmsteen's backing group, and Great King Rat.
		His intention was to retrace the progression of his career from UFO to MSG by hitting all of the highlights in front of a Japanese audience.
		The result is a double-disc, two-and-a-half hour tour de force designed for hardcore Schenker fans, since anyone else will find the ceaseless soloing a little indulgent.

	Michael Schenker: Adventures of the Imagination / MS 2000 - Dreams and Expressions - PopMatters Music Review
		Accomplishing the hat trick of success with the Scorpions, UFO and his own Michael Schenker Group (MSG), he has proven that his groundbreaking guitar playing and inventive rock/metal arrangements are the key component in any musical situation in which he ventures.
		But while Schenker's fans will undoubtedly find something to like about his two latest instrumental, solo efforts Adventures of the Imagination and Dreams and Expressions, it will probably have more to do with their fascination and dedication to the artist, than the quality of his product.
		To Schenker's credit, he does an excellent job of seamlessly tying all of these thoughts together giving the record some sort of cohesiveness.

	Michael Schenker
		Schenker’s focus on the music, above all else, has also been one of the reasons for his on again/off again relationship with UFO.
		This past year Schenker has also taken over his own management, from “scratch to finish” and says there have been many unexpected rewards in getting out of his past artistic type of tunnel vision, and having much more direct contact with his longtime fans.
		As the “new" Michael Schenker concludes (with convincing conviction), “I’m having a blast!

	Evolving Artist - The Michael Schenker Group - World Wide Live 2004 (DVD)
		Michael Schenker is a rock icon, a guitar hero that has been around the block with the Scorpions, UFO and his own band MSG.
		The band behind Schenker is sharp and tight, however, the vocals of Chris Logan prove to be inadequate for the power of the music.
		As I said, this is one potent musical force; however, I think if Schenker were to seek out a vocalist that can match his guitar wizardry, his music would take on a completely different meaning.

		Obviously, I knew the albums with Schenker, but in the 80s I thought they kind of went their own separate ways because I saw Schenker on his own with MSG for a while.
		When they told me Schenker wasn’t involved, I asked why and it was kind of a blank.
		Schenker has got his kind of bluesy/melodic style, but it seemed like Moore’s was more of that traditional hard rock style.

	Backstage with UFO/Michael Schenker
		I was lucky enough to attend both UFO shows in Seattle...the first as a fan in the audience, the second as a guest of Michael Schenker's.
		This combined with Michael's manager being late due to motorhome problems (she had the main "V" that Michael was to play that night) made for an impatient, ugly crowd by 11:00.
		Michael played very well...he seemed to stick to the formula (he confirmed this to me later) of note-for note 1st lead break...just like the record, then improvisation on the "outro" as he called it, or second solo.
