Schenker had no influence on the Scorpions?!?! Rudolf pretended to be Michael and so much of Scorpions in wholesale lifted from Michael Schenker.

Brilliant musician ide love 1hr to chat guitars with Micheal. ❤

We love you KK! Met you in Phoenix on Oct 2nd 2024! It was epic to meet the legend. Keep rocking hard man...KKs Priest is awesome

Conflicting statements here a) I don't care about money, I just want to play guitar, as long as there is food etc etc b) Rudolf this Rudolf that, I wrote Lonesome Crow album etc. Yes of course his name should have been mentioned, that would have been fair, but hey Michael: Rudolf introduced you to several musicians, Rudolf lend you his Flying V, opened doors etc. Are you crediting him for this on your albums ? Is it not a give and take situation ? Too bad the family ties still are so strained. And oh yes, there also was a Barbara Schenker, a sister of the 2 famous brothers who played keyboards for a while. She died some years ago.

Dear Michael, please stop knocking your brother. Each time you are telling a different story and contradicting yourself. Get yourself peace and do not trust your memories of the 70´s and 80´s. you never were sober at that time.

This is why he is one of the greatest players of all time, in my humble opinion !

If you read this post please reply if you have time .Va n you have original Facebook page , because many people are already using you name and by the time I notice I get into a trap .. many of your followers would help with a simple answer Yes or No!!!! Many thanks and health to all of you.A friend of yours that respects and like you....

Sounds like half the range of each note is missing. Shows the beauty of the Strat. Maybe the best we’ll hear on a flying V though.

Looks like Jeff Beck

If I were in Michelle's place, I would not have endured, many times and annoyingly, the question, why Flying V guitar i so iconic!!! The idiot could ask many differnt questions instead of his obsession with Flyin V. Its a show guitar , especially for metal guitarist, preferably to be played in standing position. Sittin down i would preffer to play classic style LP or super strat guitar.... thats too pitty that i develop a big belly. So i didnt play mine Epi Albert King or Jackson King V ( Dave Mustaine) guitars anymore...but i am not into fitness and those Flying Vs arent good for players with bellys like me, cos, the belly change the position of the guitar body at angle and your left hand is aint in good playin position that way!

James is so handsome and sexy!! OMG!!!❤

I see a slight resemblance Andy to none other than the Great Jeff Beck 🇬🇧 RIP

Michael demanded his producer get him coke or he'd burn his own house down. And then he did it. This man was such a coke head Aerosmith wanted him onboard. Imagine his output if he was just Rudolph level sober. He's one of my favorites but remains a classic sad story of Guitar Hero vs Drug Villain; like Eddie vs. cigs/alcohol.

It's criminal to not have Lonnie Mack inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Without him in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it relinquishes all credibility and true purpose... It's the same as if NASCAR does not recognize Richard Petty, Major League Baseball does not recognize Babe Ruth, the NBA does not recognize Michael Jordan, NASA does not recognize Neil Armstrong, etc.

I think the interviewer likes V’s

Between Priest and Maiden, and Ozzy/Black Sabbath those were the bands that raised me when I was a teenager in the 80's I know every note from every song from all of their albums. When I heard the news about Glenn I almost vomited. I lost Eddie and now my other hero is not well. This is one cruel MF-ing world we live in. And Parkinson is the worst diagnosis for a guitarist that there is. He's given so much to us for so long, all I can do is wish him the best and there can be NO replacing Glenn. Only superseding Glenn. I also wish Andy all the best wishes and good luck.

Andy La Rocque I can only say 1 thing What a awesome guitarplayer 👍

Great looking V! It's nice to see someone like Mark and Paul appreciating one of Gibson's finest creations!

Killer "V" wow

If Epiphone released this guitar I would buy it! This is one of the sickest looking Flying Vs I’ve ever seen! 🤘🏼

So, kids, now you got the point. Some people are into music and some are into humba, humba, tätterä... 😅

That tail piece with tune-o-matic looks interesting. Would love to try that.

The original V was designed by a car designer FYI 😁

i had the pleasure to meet Michael at his record store laterally the day after he recorded this interview, he was talking to me about this interview with great excitement, i was fan boying so hard but had to play it cool.

Paul Stanley is super charismatic

Michael schenker IS the " Silver Surfer" of guitar. Beautiful melodies, such fluid playing, just an absolutely awesome player. God bless you for giving so much joy to so many musicians.....Thank you, Michael. ❤

What does he mean with his leather jacket??

Dude's a class act. He never does the "look at me" BS, just fills the songs with tasty fills and solos.

Lord of Thrash Metal 🤘🤘

This is a beautiful interview. Thank you.

I first heard Andy's playing on the Abigail album, I was hooked!🤘

My nr 1 guitarplayer but its gettin boring all this talk about Rudolph in every interview.I hope his next phase will be about him.

My god!! One of my all time favorite guitarist of all time just popped up on my phone. I am 58 and a guitarist myself and this man has always been in the top 10 guitarist of all time in my book. I love most of all that he is clean from years of substance abuse for I have to admit i was always on his side to let his talent rule is existence than the other and it brightened my day to see him so in the moment, talking, phrasing words and sentences, memories and the like with no hesitations or difficulties. He has come full circle, done with his demons and not looking back and I respect that from a fan perspective more than anyone will know!! The UFO legacy he leaves behind as well as his MSG and other projects can never be replaced in history as some of the best hard rock music to date… Long Live the Mighty MS!! A true LIVING LEGEND!!🎶🎶

Mad as a March Hare but one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. There is is simply nothing on earth like a Schenker solo.

Michael is a great unknown - probably the greatest living guitarist - he is the GOAT!

Never ending sibling rivalry 😂: but thanks for the music MS

He slams Rudolph every chance he gets lol

One of my favorite guitarists, he has been an influence for so many metal musicians either directly or indirectly.

🤘

Sad to watch someone talk shit about his own blood

💫🎶🎵🎶🎵🎸🦅🫶🏼😺🔆🕯️🤩

Seems like a Helluva nice guy also.

Thanks for the video... It's always nice to see Michael... I have been a fan of his since the UFO days in the 70's 🤘

Thanks for the video. Take care and God bless.

Rock On!!!

Dude seems like a nutbag.

He forgot to mention that Michael helped Scorpions out right after Uli jon Roth had left,,so he’s more than just the lonesome crow duh

Matthias was my very first guitar influence. His melodic and flashy soloing and stage presence was infectious (in a good way)...lol! I believe he gave the Scorpions a unique sound and look that set them appart from everyone else!

I just now saw this,great interview, thank you

Nobody sounds like him. Nobody ever will. Millions of Metal fans like me, post him in the number one spot for guitar purity. Millions more do not. That’s cool too. I’m just thankful to have lived to witness his art in his time.
