INCREDIBLE
Celebrations should be celebrated as they fall. MSF becomes MSG. The originally planned Michael Schenker Fest fell victim to the Corona virus. No reason for sadness. Then we simply celebrate with the string virtuoso from Sarstedt his 50th anniversary in the music business. The concert with the Michael Schenker Group promises a comprehensive journey through the great career of the gifted musician, who joined the Scorpions 50 years ago and thus launched his rise to become one of the most influential guitarists in rock history. With the songs from the new album "Immortal" (release: January 29, 2021) and lots of immortal classics in the luggage, the band will finally go on tour again in 2021. It will be a great celebration - not only for Schenker fans.
As Udo Jürgens once sang in one of his greatest hits: "At 66, that's when life begins. At 66, that's when you have fun. At 66, you're just getting into shape. At 66, it's still a long way to go." Guitar god Michael Schenker seems to have taken the words of his fellow musician to heart: On January 10, he celebrates his 66th birthday, three weeks later he releases a new MSG album titled "Immortal" and goes on tour with it again. And when someone like Michael Schenker calls, they all come. His latest work features the great voices of Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Vandenberg, ex-CoreLeoni), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple) and Schenker's faithful accomplice Michael Voss (Mad Max). On the instrumental front, bassist Barry Sparks (Dokken), keyboardist Steve Mann and drummers Bodo Schopf, Simon Phillips (ex-Toto) and Brian Tichy (ex-Whitesnake) go full throttle. Keyboard wizard Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion) also makes a valuable contribution.
On the album, in addition to nine fresh numbers, there is also a re-recording of the track "In Search Of The Peace Of Mind", the very first song Michael Schenker ever composed. "I wrote this piece in my mother's kitchen when I was 15," he looks back half a century and grins: "The solo in this piece is so perfect, I wouldn't change a single note to this day. For me, it's the most important piece of the last 50 years. It started everything." By the time it appeared on the Scorpions' 1972 debut "Lonesome Crow," Michael had already moved on to UFO. What followed were decades of hard rock frenzy, on and off stage. In the most diverse constellations and always with his foot on the gas pedal. Michael Schenker has not only enchanted fans with his characteristic string playing. The influence that his guitar sound has left in the world of metal and hard rock is immense. After all, it is not granted to everyone that he is called by colleagues such as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, Dimebag Darrell, Slash or even Kerry King as a musical role model.
