Michael Schenker Himself Ritchie's Schenker news Michael Schenker began his career with his brother Rudolph and the Scorpions while in his mid-teens and shortly thereafter was spotted by English group UFO and was asked to join them for their first Chrysalis record, Phenomenon. Phenomenon allowed Michael's maverick guitar work and songwriting to be exposed to hard rock fans around the world and Schenker was quickly heralded as "the new guitar hero." His initial stint with UFO spawned 6 albums and related tours, culminating in 1979 with the world renowned live record, "Strangers in The Night" which catapulted Schenker to international guitar superstar status and yielded offers for a solo career. Leaving UFO, Schenker appeared with the Scorpions on their "Lovedrive" album before going solo and completing the album "MSG" in 1980, Schenker continued to tour and build a reputation and "MSG," the Michael Schenker Group, centered on Michael's creative direction that ran five years and produced five successful records. At this juncture of his career, Schenker took a little bit of time off and returned with Singer/instrumentalist Robin McAuley with whom he recorded several more mainstream hardrock records under the name "McAuley-Schenker Group" through the remainder of the 80's and into the 90's. After his productive run with "McAuley-Schenker Group" Michael took some much deserved time off and, among other things, further contemplated his spirituality which inspired him to record the first of the acoustic, instrumental "Thank You" series as a gesture of thanks to his creator and his friends and fans that had supported his music through the years. As with all great groups, demand in the marketplace for Michael to return to UFO grew and Michael and the group reunited in the 90's and delivered the critically acclaimed record, "Walk On Water" in 1995. The resulting successful tours proved that the group hadn't lost their genius, energy, nor their fans. But unfortunately, Schenker and the group were also reminded of the stress that working together brought on and they once again, despite the protest and dismay of their fans, disbanded. From the end of the 90's through the present, Michael has stayed productive with a variety of solo projects and MSG records/tours and has just released "Arachnophobiac." "Arachnophobiac" has been heralded by the critics as an MSG record containing the perfect combination of hard-riffing, melodic Schenker songwriting and stellar guitar work. "Arachnophobiac" marks the return of "Beware of Scorpions" singer Chris Logan to MSG, supported by an all-star cast including Stu Hamm (Steve, Vai, Joe Satriani) on bass and Jeremy Colson (Steve Vai, Marty Friedman) on drums and also features a few guest solos from Nightranger's renowned, Jeff Watson. - from MSG management website Read newsletter from 1993-1998!
