About

Michael Schenker (born 10 January 1955) is a German guitarist. He played in the rock band UFO and leads the Michael Schenker Group (MSG). He was an early member of the hard rock band Scorpions, a band co-founded by his elder brother Rudolf Schenker. In the mid-1970s, Schenker joined UFO, playing lead and rhythm guitar. He left the band in 1978 to briefly rejoin Scorpions for the recording of Lovedrive, and then to form MSG. He rejoined UFO three times, producing an album each time. Schenker continues to perform and record. He is regarded as one of the most influential guitarists of the 1970s, and has been called "a legendary figure in the history of metal guitar".

Michael Schenker, né le 10 janvier 1955 à Sarstedt, est un musicien et guitariste de hard rock et heavy metal traditionnel allemand, qui a notamment été membre d'UFO, Scorpions et MSG. Michael Schenker a influencé de nombreux guitaristes de différents groupes de metal parmi lesquels on peut citer Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammett, Randy Rhoads, John Norum, Yngwie Malmsteen[réf. souhaitée]. Durant sa carrière, Schenker se façonne un style musical et une technicité de jeu qui lui sont totalement propres. Le guitariste allemand explique d'ailleurs qu'il a très tôt arrêté d'écouter de la musique afin de ne pas être influencé par les autres et suivre son propre chemin.
