Michael Schenker ("Guitar Hero One of the pioneers in Germany")

If you held a poll about the "10 best guitarists of all time German", I'm sure if the name Michael Schenker will include one of them. Even if asked to choose 5 only, I remain confident his name will remain inside. Not strange if you see a football terjangnya lift the name of Germany as a country that has a first class guitarist and able to compete with powerful guitarist from England and America.

Michael and his brother, Rudolf has the same hobby, which is play guitar. Michael got inspiration in music from 2 bands that are quite popular in those days, Wishbone Ash and Mountain. He also had jobs at Transcriber song.

Early 70s, Michael joined the band of Rudolf, The Scorpions. Incidentally the game Michael is quite prominent, but when the band released their debut album, Lonesome Crow in 1972 the album was less get a positive response. One thing to note, when Michael was only 17 years of age.

After attending a promo tour with the Scorpions, other band called UFO interested in his talents. Then Michael left the Scorpions and joined UFO guitarist who had just left, Michael Bolton (but not the singer Michael Bolton.)

Together with UFO, Michael had released several albums, including Phenomenon (1974), Force It (1975), No Heavy Petting (1976), Lights Out (1977), Obsession (1978). In the era of Michael Schenker is the name of UFOs can fly and get a wider audience to the American market.

But after the album released the album Obsession, Michael expelled from the UFO because of alcoholism and returned to the Scorpions. He replaces Uli John Roth who earlier in his place when he left the Scorpions first.

Returning to the Scorpions, he was co-released the album Lovedrive in 1979. But unfortunately, while undergoing his first tour in America, Michael once again absent attend for alcohol addiction. The album was not accepted in the United States mainly because of the album cover. Michael was replaced by Matthias Jabs of Scorpions eventually become a permanent guitarist to date.

Once out of the Scorpions, he was appointed as temporary replacement guitarist Joe Perry in Aerosmith. After that Michael decided to pursue a solo career by forming Michael Schenker Group or commonly called MSG.
