HD Vid from Michael Schenker this month - amazing!

1. Tone is in the fingers.

2. Less gain and treble, more volume = tone.

AMAZING!

damn you hunter! now i'll be listening to UFO and MSG all day ;)

though it is a really good clip, i'm unsure if neck bending to get dive bomb effects is a strategy i will be adopting myself.

God, last time I saw him he was stumbling around and couldn't play a note.  What a difference!  He even looks like some of his hair grew back!  :lol:

Nice to hear (if not see) Gary Barden.  And he has Pete Holmes from Black 'n Blue on drums!

Only if I can turn up the volume really high.

he's a MONSTER, when he's got his groove on. lets hope he continues with being sober and on top of his game, cos it's really sad to watch when he's off his mind on all sorts of stuff

Wow - that was great
Glad to see him on good form again
Also great to have Gary back in MSG - for me he is the true voice of this band


Compare the new version to this awesome version from 1981 with the classic lineup of the band including Cozy Powell on drums

Great vid seems to have had a look at himself since I saw him the last time at the Rock and Blues Custom Show.............that was awful and I felt for the guy but.........  at least he's wearing sensible clothing again too

cheers

Same.

Never liked Scorpions, never 'got' MSG.

Maybe one day, I'll get it.

I've always wanted to like his playing but for some reason something never clicked
I just see loads of other people from the same era that have a feel and technique I admire more

His vibrato has always been the thing, for me anyway.

Thanks for helping me come out of the closet... I just don't get... it is really boring for me too.

I really LOVE the Scorpions more and more but that's and all the other MSG I've heard makes ZERO impact on me.  :?

(BTW - I think Matthias Jabs is way cooler too)
