MICHAEL SCHENKER: “My First Musical Composition “In Search Of The Peace Of Mind”, Which I Actually Wrote All By Myself In My Mother’s Kitchen And The SCORPIONS Credited Themselves For It, Naughty Guys!”

50 Years of Incredible Music Celebrated

Few guitarist have influenced so many musicians or left such a mark in the history of Heavy Metal the way that Michael Schenker has. From his first recordings with The Scorpions to UFO, MSG, McAuley Schenker Group, Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock and Michael Schenker Fest he has always played with a level of emotion that continues to inspire and amaze. To celebrate 50 years of making music, Michael is releasing a new Michael Schenker Group album Immortal featuring 4 singers and a long list of other guest musicians. Michael took the time to talk to MER’s Bryce Van Patten about the new album, the touring lineup, the way it all came together and what’s next for MSG and Michael Schenker Fest.

First Edition Bonus

The limited first edition of this upcoming MSG album will feature another unique extra: Michael says “We have the MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST – Bang Your Head – Blu-ray, recorded during our headline show in Balingen/Germany two years ago: Unfixed, raw, pure and great! There’s a couple of small mistakes, but because the show and recording went so well, I decided to keep it the way it went on the night. It’s live, magic and pure“.
