Michael Schenker the full and raw interview

Michael Schenker talked about his life in music, Scorpions, ufo, MSG, His brother and the Flying V guitar.

[@UrquidiGuitars]

Going on tour with him I had the privilege to hear him play 30 nights, never missed a note, his touch is unique. His band is top notch. Barend, Bodo, Steve, and Ronnie.

Good to see and hear Michael playing a Gibson Flying V again! It is time for Gibson to create a Michael Schenker Signature Model Flying V. If Dave Mustaine has one, Michael Schenker should have one too!

[@jayumble8390]

UFO Phenomenon is the album that killed me from the start! Yes, I too love Michael's enthusiasm. Positive living!! Fantastic video!!!

[@Adipsia1]

Michael's music has been an inspiration to me ever since I bought UFO's 'Obsession' album during my teenage years in the 70's. His beautifully unique and lyrical playing has been with me ever since. People have imitated Clapton, Hendrix, Page and countless others since, but his music has always had a voice of its own. I'm glad to see him so alive and vibrant today after all those difficult years growing up with UFO and grappling the addictive problems that many of us face as coping mechanisms get out of control. God bless you Michael.

[@stephenjames7460]

I saw him two years ago, sounded amazing. But while not too familiar with all of his work at that point it all sounded familiar Then it was obvious why I could hear some of my favourite bands in the sound that night - he was their inspiration My intro into UFO was played live that night, what an intro!

[@JMP1269]

Love Michael's passion for the instrument even after all these years! You can see him light up just talking about it. He is a true inspiration. ❤

[@67Pepper]

My first concert was at Winterland in San Francisco 1975. UFO opened the show and blew everyone away, especially this man. They were out promoting "Force it" The other 2 bands were Journey followed by Montrose. Who else would have liked to have been there???????????

[@Belfast-Biccy]

I just want to say, this guy comes to my small town an plays in my local rock dive, I can get up close and personal, he puts in the passion and has a unique sound, you won't get this from the Mainstream bands!

[@GTX1123]

It's so CRINGE. There's NO excuse for it but there is a reason. When they were kids, their father took off to Spain w another woman and left the family to fend for themselves in a poverty stricken life in post war Germany. Being younger than Rudy, I'm sure this affected Michael psychologically at a deeper level but there's still no excuse.

[@cherylfugate7517]

There's a reason for that, which he talks about. I know some of these folks, Michael is correct. If you don't know the business, then perhaps you'd not understand his experience. He is a pretty pure artist in terms of his vision. Rudolf is a different dude. Michael is very spiritual, but not without flaws, mind, but if you listen, you'll figure it out...

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Michael’s playing is unmistakable. His plan on playing guitar his way and not listening and copying other guitarists has really worked wonders for him. His lead work is very melodic with a Wah pedal half set, giving him that rich tone. My favorite MSG band was the McCauley Schenker Group era, but I like them all too. 🎸🤘🏼👍

[@Frip36]

I don't know man. McCauley Schenker Group gave me a headache.

[@Bagelrob399]

​​@@Frip36It sounded too commercial for my tastes. It wasn't McAuley's vocals, he's a great vocalist. Micheal wanted more album sales and it was in the 80's. And McAuley had an ideal voice for that style of rock so that was the goal of those albums. His later efforts with McAuley proved he is a versatile vocalist. My favorite MSG album were the first 2 with Gary Barden, his vocals were just killer.

[@marlinshanklin-ww7em]

One of the greatest guitarists to walk the earth.

[@rodvonmunch9546]

Michael is a true guitar legend - no doubt. But to smash the Scorpions is insane. The stuff with Uli and all the albums with Mathias - tons of super songs. Nobody can deny that. Mega successful and seen as classics which stood the test of time.

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

_"But to smash the Scorpions is insane."_ Amen bro.

[@d.nakamura9579]

Amen. Michael won’t admit it, but he paid a huge price for his total dedication to guitar. He sees the big tours, big houses, and big fleets of luxury cars that all the Scorpions enjoy now after years of commercial success, and he must be envious. Uli also followed his vision over mainstream popularity, but at least he’s not bitter about his decision.

[@crusheverything4449]

Yup. Michael has been his own worst enemy over his career and brought most of the shit on himself. He’s been assassinating his brother’s character for almost nine years now in every interview and even from the stage, in front of their mutual fans. It’s disgusting. He talks about getting ripped off, but no one has the guts to ask him to his face why, after walking offstage mid-show so many times and leaving paying fans in the lurch, he has never once apologized or offered a make-up show. He’s a crybaby and a hypocrite. A total guitar genius, to be sure, but he comes off as jealous of Rudolf and butthurt that Rudolf turned less talent into a whole lot more money.

[@Ronjon69]

Michael is the one that led the way, paved the stones for the Scorps to come to the US. Blonde bomber is the real deal!

[@rodvonmunch9546]

@@Ronjon69Again, Michael is a guitar legend and nobody who is out of his mind would deny it. I really love his style. But to say Scorpions only succeeded because of Michael is like saying all the albums before "Lovedrive" had no impact, Uli Roth was just a nobody and that Rudolf had no (songwriting) talent... and we all know that's bullshit.

[@SanyamJain1989]

I saw him live in February 2014 in House of Blues on Sunset Blvd, Hollywood and I distinctly remember him - 1) Not missing any notes. 2) Unbelievable control of his style, dynamics, technique and control, and yet being so emotive. One of my favourite guitarists of all time. ♥️

[@frankhughes5702]

The situation with his brother is tragic. I hope they resolve it in this life.

[@kipponi]

Why?

[@stevenewcomer8837]

⁠​⁠@@kipponiwhat’s the situation? If not for Michael there would be NO Scorpions. Michael’s early vision was the album Lonesome Crow. He wrote 80%+ of the songs and was getting ready to record it himself, and Klaus, Rudolf, and the boys wanted in on it so Michael let them play on it. They didn’t even have a band yet. Over about 7 days they threw the band together and “The Scorpions” were born. 😂

[@Bagelrob399]

It isn't tragic. Micheal just needs to quit fucking with it an concentrate on his own stuff. I noticed that about him. In one interview I saw of him he was asked some questions about the Scorpions, and before you know it Micheal is talking all this angry shit about Rudolf and how didn't get compensated for his efforts. It got to the point to where I said "shut up Micheal" and let it go. Hey, I'm an alcoholic too, so is Micheal so I know how the alcoholic mind works. It's like we will seek shit that makes us angry or causes pain, cause it's a good excuse to have a drink. But Micheal has been sober, let's keep it that way. Drinking almost cost him his career a few years ago.

But sad that he has little respect for his brother, Rudolph who, let's be frank, emerged as a more successful "riff-meister" than Michael. Nothing wrong with Scorpions - they've always delivered to a high standard!! ✌️🤠

I saw UFO in Rockford, Il. at the Coronado Theater (Smaller venue). but I remember Michael breaking a string during a lead. His assistant brought out another string. They restrung it and he kept on playing. All I truly remember was his long blond hair and that white Flying V.

[@barroncrist5779]

Michael was a pro when he was just 15 years old. He joined UFO in 1973. His talents can be heard on the group's "Phenomenon" album (1974). His "Rock Bottom" lick is classic. Saw UFO on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert and there was Michael bare chested long blonde hair drapped over his face and just shredding like crazy and he was 18 years old. God gifted for sure.

[@lucasvonbraun]

I love Michael Schenker, he is up there with my all time favorite electric guitarists, and rock and roll personalities .. having said that, geesh, Michael, the BS about your brother - if you were truly happy with your career and music, you would NOT be saying this and harping on it .. EVERYTHING you have experienced in your life has lead you to this point - and that includes all the dealings with Rudy and The Scorpions .. That road has lead to to this point - as one of the greatest of all time .. If things were unfair at times, that is what fueled you to get to this point ... As with anything in life, you either choose to live as the victim, or, you turn and thank the obstacles for making you who you are ... I love this guy, and I guess that cantankerous side is also part of what makes him so good but all of his talk of spirituality and enlightenment rings hollow when you won't shut up about your brother .. and stop making it seem as if you never chased a buck - go and watch some of those videos you did with Robin in the later 80s ...

Interesting 🤔 interview. Michael is absolutely right that the guitar 🎸 doesn't make the player . A service member in the early 80s casually went on stage at a rec center, and strapped on a rough looking strat through a Noisy Silver Face Twin. The entire place took notice of his solo playing. I was excited in telling him that l too play guitar when he returned to our table . I mentioned that i played in several cover bands before entering the military. He replied in seeing me once, and that i wasn't that good of a player .. OMG 😳 the whole table busted out laughing including myself. I took what he said as constructive criticism. l still remember this day 😊

[@cheecheegettheyayo1779]

Phil .Michael .and andy...one last time please

[@mauriceguiheen7181]

You are so right about everything you said you are on the money you are a true artist

[@shatnershairpiece]

I talked to Michael quite a bit during his worst years in the early 2000’s. That was when he ranted about his ex wives all over his website. I asked him why he didn’t use condoms instead of having kids with every woman that crossed his path and tried to take all his money. he didn’t really have an answer to that. He was messed up and had to sell everything he owned. He’s been in the moneyless position many times, and his lack of business acumen hasn’t helped him. I understand this because I’m the same way: creativity often rules and you don’t think about anything else. This is pure idealism and for that reason alone, he gets my total respect because NO other 70’s guitarist is still producing music this late in his career every two years. (add Robin Trower) He can rant about his brother all he wants. I rant about my brother too. Rudolf made money but he’s a hack. No one is ever going to confuse Rudolf with an actual guitarist. Face facts. Lovedrive was the best scorpions album and for good reason. It had Michael on it during his peak. That is unassailable even by Uli standards. (Jabs I don’t even mention as he’s nothing special) Post lovedrive is a downhill drive, with maybe the exception of ‘blackout’. Animal mag = mostly junk. ‘Love at first sting’ mostly AOR junk. Everything after that isn’t even worth talking about. After Uli and Michael, Scorpions had exactly ONE half decent album in the next 30 years. When I hear the slagging here it makes me sick. Listen to what the man says about CREATIVITY and learn from it. If you are a guitarist or a musician there is some very valuable advice.

[@sayjustwordstome]

Well said. I agree to every word.

[@user-du1yk7uk9v]

I agree every word EXCEPT "AOR junk" since AOR is one of the most evolute form of rock and MS melody taste have LOT in common with AOR guitar legends like Neal Schon Tom Scholz and Steve Lukather.

[@PhilosopherNewport]

I disagree with the jab at Jabs. Animal Magnetism is a 1st Class album -- and apparently Michael had nothing to do with it. Did the songs have a sort of Michael-composition feel about them? Yea, but he didn't have anything to do with them and they kick total ass. Jabs had a needly-weedly super-duper-slinky-string sound, but it worked. I saw them live on the Blackout Tour and he was spot-on throughout every song. Michael has been my all-time favorite lead guitarist since I first heard Strangers in the Night in 1983, and Rudy may very well have copied & imitated Michael, but Michael has no one else but himself to blame for not giving a damn about his business affairs and allowing himself to be robbed. Doesn't matter how pure his heart was or how uber-artistic he was, if you snooze, you lose.

[@monmixer]

Herman and Francis played with Michael a lot. From the Scorpions

[@tmmyjay]

[@scarletpimpernel6813]

You can sense from his questions that the interviewer is not a musician himself. He keeps on asking about the "symptoms" / "outer appearance" of Schenker's music while the "spirit" / "soul" of Schenker's music originates on another level. Schenker tries to steer the conversation in the right direction but that requires a certain level of abstract thinking that goes beyond the capabilities of the interviewer.

Went to the dressing room to fetch Michael's guitars after a show in the the late 70's or early 80's s from Michaels dressing / reh room and when I walked in the door he was in there with 3 beautiful women and the room was thick with hash smoke. lol Edit, he was with UFO then. I went to se them in Pittsburgh right after he left the band and we didn't know he left or would not have bought tickets and went. We are 90 minutes from Pittsburgh PA. Anyway Michael didn't hit the stage with them It was Paul Chapman who used to be in UFO. the whole crowd stood up and started booing. The second song the same thing happened and Phil Moog the vocalist stopped the show and pleaded with the audience to please give Paul a chance and they simmered down and did. It was still a great concert but it almost was not a concert with people asking asking for refunds and booing. He did a great job

I saw that tour in Cleveland. No announcement that Schenker wouldn't be there. After a few songs Mogg says "This one's for the dead guitar player." I shed a few tears.
