Talk:Michael Schenker

In reference 17, G Bonnet recalls exposing himself at a gig in Sheffield University. It was actually Sheffield City Polytechnic at the Student Union on Pond Street. I remember it, without fondness, I was there assisting with the light show as a member of the SCP entertainments Committee. He was wrestled off stage by a member of the road crew.

Needs some more elaboration

I was reading this article.

- According to the sleeve notes for the recently remastered UFO CD 'Phenomenon' Bernie Marsden did not lose his passport but used this as an excuse to not go on the tour as he was looking to leave the band. Also it was Bernie Marsden who saw Michael playing with the Scorpions on a previous German Tour and took the rest of UFO along to see the guitarist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.180.146 (talk) 16:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

- According to the Discography Schenker played on Scorpion's Lovedrive record. Career section didn't mention his (short) return to the Scorpions.

- He left UFO in 1979 and joined them (when?) for their reunion album. Did they split because Schenker left? Maybe add why and when UFO split.

UFO continued w/ Paul Chapman & several other guitarists throughout the period between 1979 (when Michael left) & 1995 (when they reformed for "Walk on Water"). There were multiple lineup changes during this time, the only constant member was Phil Mogg.

-This article mentions that at age of 9, his brother Rudy brought home a flying V as his first guitar. The flying V was not his first guitar, I heard on a live recorded interview that while playing live with his bother he broke a string on his Les Paul and his brother lent him his flying V to finish the song, and he liked the guitar so much he never gave it back. In fact Michael mentioned in the interview that he taught Rudy how to play guitar rather than the other way around. BC

---RUMOR CLARIFICATRION REQUESTED Rumor had it that an early shake-up of the band members line up of MSG was do to Michael getting clean and sober and a subsequent band that reflected sobriety. Any coments, clarity?

Place of Birth

Fly To The Rainbow (1974)

The link to Fly To The Rainbow (1974) does not work. Besides, Michael Schenker does not appear in the list of musicians for Fly To The Rainbow (1974). Please fix this incongruencies.

He co-wrote a couple songs on the album though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.10.15.137 (talk) 16:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Temple of Rock

I've moved the album Temple of Rock over to his solo discography because the album cover only says Michael Schenker and not Michael Schenker Group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.140.226 (talk) 22:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Michael Schenker vs. Michael Schenker Group

Speaking of this distinction, isn't the phrase "solo band", in the first paragraph, an oxymoron? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.191.203 (talk) 00:14, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

conflicts with Phil Moog

Several interviews are around where Schenker said his No.1 reason for quitting UFO was "Phil Moog" and his drinking problems were a result of that strained relationship - these should be incorporated in the article. 50.111.25.27 (talk) 08:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
