I used to see him on "That Metal Show" - but several years ago.

I also saw him with UFO way back when.

He seems to spend an unhealthy amount of time raging at his older brother Rudolf from the Scorpions these days...

Rudolf doesnt have much talent as a guitarist

Rudolf completely distorted my personality as an icon by using the flying V himself

Michael Schenker sets record straight regarding his involvement with Scorpions' Lovedrive album

I just got tickets to see him for his anniversary show and was wondering about recent performances.

Doesn´t he always tell the story that the Stones called him to join?

I didn't even know he was still alive.

Schenker is one of the BEST all time. He motivated me greatly.

I always thought back in the 80s that it would be cool if the Michael Schenker Group were to record a live album from Madison Square, call it MSG at MSG.
Never seen him live, I remember he played Vancouver in 80 or 81 at the SUB ballroom on the campus of UBC.

I have a VHS somewhere, Guitar School by Richard Thompson, starring Michael Schenker and Ronnie WOod among the others.

M. Schenker is - unlike his brother - a great guitarist.
However, I never liked any of the Scorpions stuff. Overrated like many others, e.g. Kiss, who are the worst of all.

Last time I saw him was in the Anvil movie

Michael is, of course, a brilliant lead player, but Rudolf is a great rhythm guitarist and showman. They have totally different styles.

Thanks for the comments.
Looking forward to the anniversary show at the 02 in Leeds.

still great live. He does have a few digs at his brother,but I took it as tongue in cheek.Expect a long set covering all bases.

I don't read anything tongue in cheek in the above interviews I posted. There's some serious bitterness and anger in Michael's words.

"Spinal Tap" anyone? >< He also stole his "trademark" amp that goes to 11?

I saw him live in Seattle a couple of years ago. He was very good. Had Graham Bonnet(Rainbow) singing with him among others. While I know he had some down years his tone and playing are great at this point.

Seen him live a few times. 2018 and 2019 were really good.
