    Access the album here: Schenker.lnk.t...
    Michael Schenker’s tenure with the British hard rock band UFO during the 1970s remains one of the most celebrated periods in the annals of rock. During these years, UFO recorded the albums ‘Phenomenon’, ‘Force It’, ‘No Heavy Petting’, ‘Lights Out’, ‘Obsession’, and the seminal live album ‘Strangers in the Night’.
    Now, in 2024, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album ‘My Years with UFO’ alongside today’s rock elite. The new album marks the 50th anniversary of Schenker's era with UFO, spanning from 1972 to 1978.
    ‘My Years with UFO’ presents 11 of UFO's greatest hits from this era with an impressive lineup of guest stars. Joining Schenker on this journey are Derek Sherinian on keys, Brian Tichy on drums, and Barry Sparks on bass.
    The stellar roster of guest artists includes Axl Rose, Slash, Kai Hansen, Roger Glover, Joey Tempest, Biff Byford, Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum, Dee Snider, Joel Hoekstra, Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Adrian Vandenberg, Michael Voss, Stephen Pearcy, and Erik Grönwall.
    The new single ‘Rock Bottom’ feat. Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray, Helloween) paves the way for what promises to be one of the most exciting rock albums of 2024.
    ‘My Years with UFO’ will be released worldwide on September 20th, 2024, and is now available for pre-order.

    To those who make comparisons to the epic beloved original 1974 version, that's all cool. But please realize this 2024 version is NOT meant to replace it by any means. It's the 50th anniversary of the song and Michael is just doing an updated version to commemorate. 50 years since he first recorded with UFO. I am totally diggin' this update in the end times, woooo!

    Michael is an innovator that’s so many try to emulate, but never duplicate his God given talent. Keep it going brother and I am a huge fan of Scorpions of one of my top 5 bands of all time and know your contribution to its history through the earliest years up until Lovedrive I know you have contributed your own ideas they used through many LP’s from beginning up till that particular LP scene in your interview, how the band did you which included your brother Rudolph always admired his Stage performance and contribution to the band, but do you know now you are a better lead guitarist and how you came to USA and got you a big car and your guitar and made your own way and have millions of fans and if greed was a problem with you not getting any royalties from your earlier performances and contributions from the Scorpions, I wouldn’t think that they would have done such, but regardless of what, you have came out and carried your talent and contributions to the highest mark in the rock in roll world. 😊

    • @scottlosey4978
      @scottlosey4978 Месяц назад

      @spotsthecat7913 I could not agree more....big fan of Michael Schenker. The individual that I responded to indicated that Michael Schenker is often left off "mainstream" lists as a great player. I agree and believe that John Sykes, too, is often overlooked. Everyone talks about Hendrix, Rhodes, Page. From my perspective, I do not think that Tony Iommi gets the credit he has earned. Being a teenager in the 80s, I enjoyed the likes of those Sunset Strip band (I despise the term hair metal) players like DeMartini, Lynch, DeGarmo, Adrian Smith....hell, I don't believe that Alex Lifeson, Neal Schon, or Steve Clark get enough attention as great players. Although for me, the sun rises and sets to Ozzy fronted Sabbath, my favorite player to listen to is Ace Frehley. I know, I know, Ace is incredibly sloppy and frequently not in time, but these imperfections make Ace unique...when he plays even if out of tune, you immediately know that it is Ace. If you don't mind sharing, who are some of your favorites? I enjoy conversations like these and make me long for the days when I could read Circus and Hit Parader magazines.

    The original one is a masterpiece. Melodic lead with complete harmony with drums and bass, changing speed.

    I haven’t been this excited about a new album in a long time. I’m just worried that it might be too good. 🙂

    I’m here for the legend and his guitar, but the fact that he performed this with Kai Hansen of Helloween and Gamma Ray? Friggintastic!!!!

    Kai Hansen has made a lot of covers, but One of UFO, its fantastic.
    And more if Michael Schenker himself IS on guitars
