It's been more than 30 years since rock music was still important and had great relevance. Artists were not pop bunnies who sang with computer voices, but stars with guitars, poets, explainers of the world.
We are looking back in a series. Today we have to hear The Story Of Michael Schenker, recorded by Michael Schenker, the German rock guitarist and composer who is playing his guitar like with God's fingers...
His career began with the Scorpions in the early 1970s. From the '79 UFO hit "Doctor, Doctor" to 90s "Unplugged" version of "Only You Can Rock Me", "The Story Of Michael Schenker" brings together sixteen sounding highlights from fifteen of the Hanoverian string magician's first 25 eventful years of career a lot of bad luck somehow always managed to tear down with his ass what he had just built with five nimble fingers.
Michael Schenker became an internationally successful rock star as a teenager in the 1970s; In England he was called “The German Wunderkind” because of his talent and youth. In 1974, The Rolling Stones invited him to audition when they were looking for a replacement for their guitarist Mick Taylor, but he was so shocked that he didn't even go.
In addition to original recordings, live recordings and some rare alternative versions ensure that Michael Schenker's work exhibition never gets boring.
