Michael Schenker - Thank You I (1993) [Full Album]

[@jabberwocky7927]

Brilliant, thank you for uploading this. Ive been with Michael on this journey my whole life and his playing still leaves me breathless. What a body of work, from Lonesome Crow til now.

[@madlynx1818]

Glorious is how I describe his guitar work

[@mc2mc277]

Schenker called my house maybe 6 months before this album, asking for my longtime GF/guitarist to play on his album he was about to do. They talked for a half hour or so. He sent out a tape of the songs and she was shocked that it was acoustic Born Again material, expecting it to be electric rock. She called and reneged.

[@jamesjackson8058]

Years and Years into the future from now they will know . What a body of work!! From my early teens to 54 years old . This man has been with me.. Thanks Michael..🤟

[@Schenkerfan]

This is such a beautiful album! So much emotion! its like he's plucking, and strumming out the words with his amazing, and melodic playing. It practically brings tears to my eyes! 😢 I wish more people knew about this stuff!

[@rogeriomelo8244]

Michael Schenker é muito legal realmente suas músicas são muito lindas ❤❤

[@lifeisnice23]

This album is just sheer beauty! Michael's guitar doesn't just play, it speaks straight from the heart of its owner! The "Thank you" series is one of the best works of our Master Schenker.

I have signed copy of this Album from Michael after a UFO concert at Saratoga Winners in NY.

[@nickmalone3143]

Saratoga Winners ...i used to go to that place when i lived on east coast upstate NY ....Also Allens ...lake theatre (lake george) ...JB Scotts in Albany

[@AtheRocker]

For me, this is the best of his work. Though this is played with acoustic guitars, it tells and expresses his emotion that he had felt in those days. Every single tune offers beautiful melody played by the true guitar virtuoso. I first got this album at a show on UFO's reunion tour back in '94. And I was lucky enough to be allowed to be in their backstage after the show... Brings me a blast from the past.

[@ivandeclercq9733]

Tears rolling over my face .. So BEAUTIFULL 🥰 🤘 You are with me in my whole LIFE .. thank you Master Michael Schenker ❤️ Love MSG 🤘

The Maestro

[@hadesdave]

I met Micheal years ago when my band was playing the same club and we got along and I went to his show the following night and he was nothing short of a gentlemen. Remembered me and we continued out conversation from the previous night and he told me about his acoustic record and asked my name so he could put it on the cover of his CD. I wasn't sure if it would happen but weeks later I got an envelope in the mail from his manager with the new CD and a nice compliment about my drumming! I've met a lot of famous people in the business but rarely does one of your heroes ever surpass your expectations. The only other artist that made me feel the same way was RJD!

[@СергейГерасимов-с5и]

Великолепный ,очень талантливый музыкант , гитарист , композитор , аранжировщик, чувствуется его душевная игра , любовь к музыке , очень хочеться ему пожелать долгих лет жизни , и что бы открыл школу игры на гитаре для детей , таким образом сбережет и приумножит свой талант ,удачи ему !!!!

[@a.b.8606]

One of the best guitar albums i have ever heard, period 🎉 thanks for sharing this, definitely made my life more sweet ❤

[@karmenm7889]

Quit simply the best. I remember when it was first released came. My husband and I had planned on using it to walk down the aisle.. ***** LOVE YOU MICHAEL! ALWAYS HAVE! ALWAYS WILL~

[@FeelingShred]

little trivia: the video for Positive Forward was shot in Portugal, Steve Vai has an acoustic song in homage to Portugal, it's called Gentle Ways, in the same vein of this right here, so check that out (every song on that album was dedicated to a country)

[@izzimichaels2892]

my recollection of this albums release was, it didnt come out of my cd player for a very long time.!!! a timeless recording that has yet to grow old for me.

[@antrygis1]

My name is on the VHS box. It was a fan club. Escape from the box. His 1st acousic release.

[@REIRBL]

the “Thank You” series is a masterpiece! 👍👍👍👍

[@benjamingates6118]

Seen him with msg a few times one of the best memories I have with my dad who past away in 2016

[@grantreborn]

Beautiful compositions

[@jeffholmes1491]

Michael just has a way of grabbing your mind and keeping your attention. Masterpiece

[@elizabethvandyke6107]

beautiful instrumental I have ever heard iwant to purchase what a talent

[@elizabethvandyke6107]

so peaceful to my soul

[@digitallando]

If god made an album, what would it sound like? This

[@RevGary]

Did you know Schenker had an epiphany born-again in the spirit? Yuppers praise Jesus. I've been a fan since 1980 seen him a few times here in Glasgow Scotland.

[@jjram33]

Miestro Schenker

[@Challender]

Since day one hooked. Michael has a way of getting in your head with his style of MasterCraft. I had an ear to his playing back to the 70's Top shelf in my mind. This is another level of didn't see that coming Phenomenal seems apropos. Thank You!

[@benjamingates6118]

This man is simply amazing

[@benjamingates6118]

Brings back the best memories I have with my dad seeing Michael Schenker

[@nickmalone3143]

I never knew this existed until yesterday (2024) ...michael has been through some betrayals from former band members...ex wife...his brother .Seems happy touring the smaller venues lately ....wearing his russian kasak

[@FeelingShred]

I never knew the story behind this album. He sold copies of the album door to door on radio stations travelling by bus alone. Fascinating. And right after this he changed manager so he finally started receiving royalties properly and directly to his own address. According to him that's the story. 🤘

[@nickmalone3143]

​@@FeelingShredshenker blows away EVH who was a one trick pony ...Randy Rhodes sucked too

[@FeelingShred]

yeah kinda agree, love me some VH but he was very inconsistent... tried to get into Randy's music but never appealed to me... Schenker in compositional terms blows away most of these guys

[@FeelingShred]

my dream collab hasn't happened as of yet: Paul Gilbert and Schenker... that would be killer

[@kevinmeadowcroft7799]

I picked up this album when I saw UFO twice on the Walk On Water tour. I got Walk On Water signed and Thank You. This is by far one of the most unique albums Michael has ever done. Escape From The Box one of my personal favorites from this one.

[@ericdavis8875]

Michael played a couple of these before the 94 UFO Reunion show in San Antonio...what a tasty appetizer to a bountiful feast of a show!

[@LucyPerez-m2d]

Thank Dany.

[@elainenye-evans4555]

Beautiful melodies.Brilliantly played and with emotion

[@leftyzappa231]

Totally blown away. I think Ian Anderson would enjoy this. :)

[@mikegreen3105]

sweet. People actually take time to dislike a thank you.

[@slzfisher]

'Never commented on music before---can't say and it is why. I've always loved the Schenkers' riffs and where have i been to not have delighted in this and others of Michael's recordings until my birthday of 2017? Anyway, Thank You, Michael Schenker! Once upon a time we must have shared the same turf, a place from which the shape of the world is exciting from the latest end as a conquest of gladness and a world awareness of peace gotten 'round. Cheers!---Mark Fisher

[@user-kt5jf1st3x]

Я знаю не все , что написал Шенкер, но то, что я уже знаю по УФО и другим группам Шенкера- навсегда сделало меня его поклонницей. Хоть нравится не все, что им написано, Он все- равно гитарный Бог.❤

[@hanshoetjes8938]

love you michael

[@bumbarderzujkic9892]

Best songs instrumental ever......

[@JG-ws1qp]

I’ve always been a huge UFO / MSG fan. I never realized how adept Schenker was on the acoustic. He’s no master (but close!), but if you’re into the Schenker vibe - this is a real treat! Fun and recommended!

[@RevGary]

Track listing shows titles that lend to Michael being a Born-again Christian. I recall reading about his conversion almost 20 years ago...Praise Jesus.

[@FeelingShred]

I don't think it has to with religion at all, it's just common sense, what should be the usual, and not the exception

[@stuartmenziesfarrant]

Being German is such an advantage for Michael’s music.

[@donnieray746]

Listening to you encouraged me to play 25 years ago. I'll never have the feel you have for the instrument.

[@ГеннадийМакеев-в1у]

Майкл человек золотые руки и поющие сердце ,,восхищён его гитарой,🎸🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🎸💔💔💔

[@heristiawan]

can anyone find this album on joox or Spotify?

[@StaffsTransport]

A complete listening experience, the music gets deeper and more emotional after the opening track.

[@benjamingates6118]

The thank you series never gets played i never get tired of them decades later

[@moometal67]

good

Hi Rck

[@jamesjackson8058]

Patience and Tolerance reminds me a bit of Mr. Mark Knopler

[@nickmalone3143]

Yes i can here it in some of the chord work

[@batvette]

First song is nothing short of an inspirational masterpiece. Could have been a hit with airplay. The second an impressive display of technique. After that it pretty much falls off except for some brief passages of interest.

[@kevinkiso9160]

I haven't ever found this recording to "for off" in the slightest. But your opinion is valid - if only to you, yourself. I'm grateful that it doesn't apply to me.

[@batvette]

@@kevinkiso9160 I said "falls off" in that the beginning is rather spectacular but becomes less so towards the end. Several musician friends familiar with the album agree as did some critical reviews in media.

[@batvette]

@@villaincognito oh geez was that reply even necessary...

[@batvette]

@@villaincognito i mean its not like i trashed the record.

[@StaffsTransport]

I found the opposite. It got deeper for me after the opening two tracks. And I still play it and still think the same.
