Jag har på denna sida tänkt att skriva om 'yxan' till höger & den musik han har skapat, med sina magiska fingrar. På sikt ska jag göra länkar till respektive skiva med uppgifter om låtar etc. & mina personliga omdömen. Enkelt uttryckt - han gör solon som INGEN ANNAN. Punkt !

Andra namnet är Willy & föddes i Tyskland den 10 januari 1955.

Well - this is my section about the 'axe' on the right side & the magical music he has created, with he's magical fingers. But on the long-term I will do links to each record with my personal point-of-view's. He does guitarsolo like NO-ONE ELSE! [So far not translated into English]

The second name is Willy & was born in Germany, January 10 1955.

Well - finally MSG are back with a raawwwkker album!

As www.ontherocks.de wrote; "Heavy Metal tour de force" - I'll sign up for that. This album is very guitar based, strange if not - it's MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a matter of fact there is no keyboard on this album - just some great hard driven, firm and stable ROCK and Michael in fine shape, delivering the goods with some splendid AXEWORK. Chris Logan is takin' care of the vox greatly, adapting his voice perfect to each song. The "rythm section" consist of Stu Hamm/bass and Jeremy Colson/drums and they are just f#¤# phenomenal - solid and firm - with no compromises!

So what do we got here... 11 heavy raaaawwwkers, well at least 10. The first one out is called 1.) Evermore, a hard driven, plain and simple, rocker with some touch of blues... in a mid-tempo phase. The guitar solo is as perfect as it can be - just bursting out in a screaming 'n' howling way, nice and solid back-up guitar, drums clean and perfect! Nice Schenkery ending solo, one of my favs - gets 5 point! Next killer out is 2.) Illusion - kicks off very softly for 40 sec, then... this old and heavy riff á la Sabbath - yeh! Speeds up very airy and quick, mid-tempo rocker with a nice and fluent chorus. The solo is clean and fresh - shoots on straight forward, just as it suppose to be in my point of view - not that tangled as on BAOS. Nice ending solo with lots of tones - like the good old days, this one get 4 points. 3.) Arachnophobiac - well it took me a week to get the pronunciation correct until I heard this "Spiderman-song"... has this somehow spidery-melody! This is good. Hard driven axe work in a firm mid-tempo way mixed with a catchy chorus - howling and screaming solo mixed with plenty of nice fret work! "I Want my money back! - Arachnophobiac" Hahaha... the MTV-award for best lyric goes to Mr Chris Logan :o) Very nice ending solo, perhaps a bit too short - but hey - it's brilliant, gets 5 point! 4.) Rock & Roll Believer - straight forward and no compromises... in a light blues-tempo. The intro could have been something from his earlier solo projects. Very nice and beautiful pre-solo that turns into a heavy blues 'n' rock solo, ends with that nice pre-solo stuff. Then it just rolls on in a basic blues and rock airy mode with no ending solo, that's why it only gets a weak four. 5.) Into The Sands of Time - one of my favs (but it took awhile!!) Again - has this "old" intro style. Then Michael puts on his "lead-guitar" and deliver some raaaawww 'n' heavy riff that would have open up Fort Knox! The chorus is quite different from the rest of this hard 'n' heavy low-tempo rocker, very soft and airy. The solo is raw and furious with some hard fret work, great back-up guitar work as well. This is a very very strong 4, would have got that 5:er if an ending solo! 6.) Weathervane - not one of my favourite. The song is kind of crawling in a low-tempo phase. Chorus? Yes there is one... Solo - yes that to. The best part is the short - but - very joyful ending solo. Two points. 7.) Over Now - a ballad, lighters on! Actually really nice, but at the same time very predictible. The song is very light and soft but the chorus rises up in a airy way (nice pre-chorus) as the solo that floats out in a soft howling tempo. Typical Schenkery ending solo - great fret work, turn up the volume during the very last 10 seconds - I would have loved to hear that a bit more...., OK it's a 3,5 points.  8.) One World - alright, back on track! A hard axe working riff opens up this song straight in your face - then Jeremy takes over the scene - backing up Michaels heavy guitar riff! Straight forward in-your-face chorus; ONE WORLD! Great solo arrangement - just listened to that hard and solid axe working back-up guitar - when Michael is all over the whole scale with some pure fresh fret work. YES - Jeremy is HITTING the drums! Great, but short, ending solo. First I gave this one 3,5 points - now it's 4. 9.) Break The Cycle - GREAT! Kicks off in your face directly with a single guitar intro. High-tempo rocker, firm and steady guitar. Fine - Fluent - Furious hard driven solo! The ending solo last for one minute... wonderfully - greatly... 5 POINTS! 10.) Alive - "Overkill" haha! High-tempo? Noooo it's "Heavy Metal tour de force". Aggressive hard rock :o) This one is just damned GOOD, hard driven wild solo, ends with a "funky style" á la RUSH/XYZ! Ending solo..? YES! Enjoy the ride :o) 5 POINTS! 11.) Fatal Striker - low-tempo phase, the chorus could have been taken from the 80's. If I were a "courageous F-117 Stealth Fighter pilot" I would have gone for ALIVE! Best part; the ending solo.... "deux poin".

Hosted by Joe Kleon!

UFO has risen again from the depths to scorch the earth with
their custom blend of hard rock foot stompin' raaawwk and rollllll...
heavily bearded than ever before!

But it's fair to say that it is a stable and solid raaawwk album - with Mogg on top, doin' the numbers!! Dunbar and Way provides a solid rhythm section and as for Schenker... Well - You could say a solid and firm guitar work, with some cool riffs. But - in my opinion - he gets tangled, to tricky when he's suppose to come to the blistering solos.... There are plenty of 'chances' to break out in some new "proposed-memorable-moments". 7 Sea Of Faith is a good example of that, which is a very good song with great, strong typical Mogg verse/chorus style with Mr Axe on his back providing a nice 'Schenkery-guitar' sound... But but - You'll find small parts
here and there...

Some quick reflections: 1 Outlaw Man another UFO classic - I'm a rocker I'm rocker.... I'm a one big bone! Solid and hard axe work - Mogg all over the place :o) The guitar work after the solo is better than theeeee solo! 2 Quicksilver Rider stable verse/refrain that raises up the hole track, nice solo.... 3 Serenity - every UFO album neeeeds a big bombastic epic powerful and melancholy song like no one else can do better than UFO!! This is Schenker/Mogg in their best moments together... however the solo could have reached a higher level - BUT that AXE behind Mogg's voice during the refrain is... So smile now while you're looking for serenity... makes me wanna cry... hahah!! 4 Deadman Walking has the basic guitar riff from 'You Really Got Me' - a very nice and airy song... 5 Shadow Dancer starts up like 'Darker Days'... carry on in a solid and stable rock beat, good riff and a ferocious solo, when the ending solo reach the 'highest' [read: best] point it's starting to fa..... ou... so very typical nowadays for UFO? 6 Someone's Gonna Have To Pay - well it is written by Mogg/Way..'cool and cool' with a nicey & bluesy laid back style, a small attempt to a new 'Rock Bottom' perhaps...? This one will for sure be played on a live show!! 8 Fighting Man nobody else could say/sing; ..just a fighting man.. like Phil Mogg... Solid axe work, good solo. 9 Perfect View the start reminds of some other Schenker stuff...? The solo is the closest attempt of getting near 'Reasons Love'... 10 Crossing Over has a big and 'beautiful' chorus, Schenkery solo a la Instrumental stuff he's done earlier - the ending solo could have been the absolute perfect match/ending for this rockin' record!!...

There's only one MAN who can sing such phrase so relaxed, cool and heavy - without shit in his pants....

Here we go again - The Odd Trio - A very Odd Trio indeed!

On guitar we have Michael Schenker, on the bassguitar Harry Cobham and finally on drumms Kathy Brown - hahahaha :o)

This is the third electric instrumental CD from Schenker year 2000!

But this time HE'S doin' all the instrument, guitar - bass - drumms. And I love it.... It's 10 rocker-track's, well the first - Far Beyond The Ocean is a cool opener. It sound's like the ocean.... very calm and melancholy with he's acoustic guitar - NICE. The next one out is Searching and it starts up with a cool riff mixed with acoustic guitar and then moves on, mixed with the typical 'Schenker-feeling-guitar'. The ending is just [fuckin] superb - GREAT ending-solo that will make Your hair raise on Your arms..... and the skin will get granular, my favorite!! Rockin' And Lovin' - heavy rock blues goes stright into a nice acoustic guitar - soft and beautiful - then back to the hard driven riff's with solo-guitar in the back, great middle solo, end's up with the typical 'Schenker-howling-solo', clean and nice. The fourth track out is Welcome, an up-tempo rocker with guitar solo's comin' in and out all the time and with a middle solo wich is 'furious'. The Good Old Days - well the 'same' as Welcome but 'different'. This one is a little bit faster and the middle solo is pure and clean - it's a kinde of clean 'background' with he's solo-guitar infront just smashin on... ends with a rocker-solo. Half way through we stop at Watching. A basic rock track but in the middle it opens up very soft and 'Michael-Schenker-nicely' and then he dives into the furious solo but end's up nice again, so nice nice nice.... Track No. 7 - In Good Faith - is one of my absolut favorite on this, great, album. Opens up hard for just in the next second change into a very nice Spanish guitar - it is beautiful. The opening riff is coming back all the time mixed with the Spanish guitar sections. But the middle solo is with the elctric guitar - short and explosive. Achievement - well opens up with the now typical: 'riff's-up' or give me your money..... and then ends into a soft and nice on-going theme, the 'background' is filled with acoustic guitar, organ and with Michael's solo guitar infront - with 'long' nice tunes. The whole track is 'breathing' melancholy.... What now, no heavy riff opening ? Hangin' Out begins with a car ! Well after a short while a suggestive guitar come's in the picture mixed with acoustic guitar and on top of that - the 'Schenkerly-burred' guitar sound as a perfect match. The song just moves on nicely with that 'Schenker-solo-feeling' stuff. The last track is called It's OK and has a Jimi Hendrix feeling in the beginning. It's a soft rocker and moves on slowly, a little bit suggestive and combined with a piano, but the solo is HOT. Then back to normal but with a howling guitar way back in the background, high long tunes - it's like to see the back of a man walking away slowly at the end of a film/movie.... Goodbye.

Over all this is a true MS instrumental album. Lot's of nice guitar stuff - all those 'things' we've been waiting for. I can't say that this one is he's best. AOTI and Dreams And Expressions are also very very very good albums. They are all great in their own categories, so to speak... Well right now I've been listening for the last week on TOT and have discovered/learn to appreciate new stuff all the time. When I first listend to TOT I thought: well, this is OK. But I knew I was wrong..... the second time it was [fuckin'] fabulous. As always with a great record, it takes time.....

I would also like to take the opportunity to give a very special 'Thank You' to Mr. DAVE WOOD in the UK for helping me getting the CD - The Odd Trio. What would the Internet - UFO:MSG - be without You !?!?!?!?
Magnus 2000-12-04 time 14:58 am

Well - The new album - Dreams and Expressions ROCKS!

There are 20 tracks, one track for each letter in 'DAE'. The shortest track is 0,24 min and the longest is 3,56 min. As Michael wrote: ".... It contains enough riffs for 3 CD's, but I choose to write this way because it is fun and different." In my opinion a very good choice. It's hard to describe the album, there are plenty of different styles and moods. But mostly it ROCKs !! #1 Is a great 'opener' and follows up nicely with #2, both are 'rockers'. #3 - #7 just passes by in my opinion. #8 = now we're start talkin', starts-up very easy - nothing special - and at the end he's on fire - furious.... and goes into a "very-very-soft-soft" and the very nice and calm #9. From here, #10 to #20 it rocks "All The Way To Memphis !! #10 it's not so very special in the beginning but after a while I think You will start to like it because it's cool rhythm. #16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard Michael this way - JESUS !!! This is FAST and it's under control. One thing that I like with this album is that Barry Sparks is doin' the bass, compare to 'AOTI' You can hear the bass this time ! and I also like the way Shane Gaalaas is drumming - they are having FUN ! My favorites on this CD are: 1, 2, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18 & 19. But I can assure You will NOT be disappointed whit this one if You like Michael Schenker !

After hearing AOTI and DAE so much - I must say that I'm now start 'longing' for a instrumental track or CD like INTO THE ARENA !...... who knows ?
Magnus 2000-08-30 time 21:25 am.

HOLY FUCKIN' SMOKE - Sorry, can't find another way to say IT!

The Unidentified Flying Object are back:
Harder, Cooler More Raw than EVER.... I just 'luuuuuv' this CD !
[As the 'Sad Old Bat' would say....]

Yesterday [2000-07-17] I had the opportunity to borrow the new UFO-CD:Covenant, I'm still waiting for my copy [got mine now]. So 'afterwork' I went home and 6 h'rs later .... :o) wet of sweat ! The first three tracks: Love Is Forever, Unravelled & Miss The Lights rock's off like real UFO-classicals. Great heavy riff's straight from the hips of the Axemaster him self mixed perfectly with Mogg's vocal and speaking of Phil - he has never sounded more heavy than before. He's doin' a tremendous work on this album !!! If this wasn't enough - the pace are now getting faster & faster with the next two rollerCoaster:Midnight Train & Fool's Gold. There are only 'one' word for these two songs - 'PeteWay'. Fast and Heavy and Phil's voice again are just f.... great. Fool's Gold starts up very soft and a with a nice touch of blues and You're thinking: perhaps a new Love To Love ..... and then Schenker goes 'crazy' ! Next track out is In The Middle of Madness, a very 'catchy' song with a great chorus. Smell of Money & Rise Again are two heavy and 'bluesy' songs with cool riffs that both could have been from the album Force It! Track No. 9 - Serenade - is a surprise. Very 'Spanish/South American' style, one of the absolute [vodka] coolest songs on this album. So far one of my favourite among the 'ass-cool-kicking-rocker' Unraveled. When you are getting to the ending solo you are about to 'cry' of happiness.... The two last tracks: Cowboy Joe, The World And His Dog rock's off great with two sharp-cool guitarsolo's. The World And His Dog will be the perfect ending-encore - YEAHHH ! Over all this is the most strongest & completed, in my opinion, record UFO has ever made. Covenant can't really be compared with 'WOW' - the records are 'playing' in two different 'leagues'. The sound is very raw and heavy, I don't really know how to explain it but it sounds 'BIG' & fresh and Mogg's voice are better than ever - deep and RAW. There is really not a song which is poor or weak, 11 strong tracks, I promise You. And of course the guitarplaying from Schenker is superb. Soooo I don't think that any of You 'Die-Hard-UFO-Fans' out there will be disappointed. However there is one 'problem', many of the songs are fading out to quick. When tho solo is 'getting to the point' it starts to fade out...
I would like very much to hear YOUR opinion - so please feel free to e-mail me ! Magnus 2000-07-18 time 23.59 am.

THERE IS SOMETHING MAGICAL WITH THIS LINE-UP - MOGG/WAY/SCHENKER...

ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTAL

FINALLY HE IS BACK - "IN COMIN' BOOGIE, TWELVE AT CLOCK"!

Roger that - Roger !!

This time with a instrumental CD that has all the 'Schenker-Flying-V-Trademarks' - every single tone vibrates SCHENKER ! It starts up with Achtung Fertig, Los - Ready Steady Go, it's an up-tempo-rocker with a nice pace & a little touch of blues, nice guitarplay/fretwork through the whole track. It's a 'happy' song & could work as an kick-off on he's next tour !? Next track is called Open Gate and has the same 'feeling', up-tempo-rocker & a 'happy' song with lots of small 'insert-solos'. It could have been a bit longer in the end when the solo is getting 'warm' ... Three Fish Dancing is one of the 'master-pieces' on this album. 14 minutes long with lots of various mods, slow, fast, heavy & soft + acoustic guitarplay as well. I like the 'middle' section best, that's about 5 min. in the track, starts up nice & soft, accelerates to a high-tempo-rocker with great & of course perfect fretwork ! Ends up softly combined with good solid axework. The fourth track is called Michael Schenker Junior and is a nice & calm track. It moves on like a waltz with beautiful and typical Schenker-solo's. Well - the next 'master-piece' out is Aardvark In A VW Smoking A Cigar, my favourite ! And again lots of various mods. I like the part about 1,30 min in the track, it has a Irish sound a-la-Gary Moore - great fretwork with high tones that changes to 'screaming' tones !!! And all of a sudden we have that nice 'waltz' again ....  switching over to 'heavy-blues' and then into a classic heavy metal solo .... back into acoustic guitar a-la Thank You. Great ending with various typs of solo [the last 4 min.], it's like he couldn't decide which one was best - WELL they all are 'F.G.' ! Track no. 6 is probably written/dedicated to his wife - I Want To Be With You. Soft and nice, plain & simple and straight forward guitarplay with a typical Schenker ending solo. Old Man With Sheep On Mars does not sound he's old ! Starts up fresh like a rocker and then again different typs of solo and mods: a little bit of heavy metal, rock and soft music. Ends-up with a great 'heart-screaming' solo, but I think that Michael's guitar is to 'low' compare to the rest of the 'arrangement' .... Next track out is At The End Of The Day it's like the Thank You album but with a FLYING V - electric ! I'm sure that this one will grow on everyone. The 'back-guitar' is acoustic and in 'front' Michael works with he's electricguitar doin' nice solos that's comin' in&out... The last track is the last track. Hand In Hand. Mostly keybord and very sweet, I have no comments. WELL on a scale between 4 to 7 I give this CD +7 points ! I'm a dieHard fan of Michael Schenker and this is what I've been waiting for a LOOOOOONG time, since Assault Attack !!!! I'm sure that the next comin' Instrumental album - 'Michael Schenker 2000' - will be as good as this one ! Just a small reflection, I Wanda - no I mean - I wonder how this record would have sounded if he had Simon Phillips on drums & Barry Sparks doin' the bass, well we never know ....  I'm Out - Lights out ! Magnus 2000-03-26. ps. You have to Force It before you can Pack It Up and Go !

UFO: Werewolves of London
Inspelad live fr turnén 1997/1998 DIREKT från mixerbordet. Schenker & hela UFO-skeppet i lyyysande form!

UFO: Werewolves of London
Recorded live from the tour 1997/1998 straight from the mixing desk. Schenker & the whole UFO-ship in perfect shape !Recorded live from the tour 1997/1998 straight from the mixing desk. Schenker and the whole UFO-ship in perfect shape!

Följande text är fr. skivfodralet:
Vad helst du har förväntat dig att höra som inte dyker upp - konstiga ord eller toner som inte är alltför klara/rena - detta är exakt hur det lät i Wolverhampton den 10 februari -97. Direkt fr. mixerbordet, 'vårtor & allt & orört av en studio' ! Den smått omdebatterade men mycket hyllade 'Strangers In The Night' visade sig bli en inspirationskälla för framtida hard rockers, & är än idag en klassiker. Det är något vi alla kan vara stolta över & denna inspelning bevisar det - JA, vi var verkligen så bra - & 20 år senare blir vi bara bättre - listen up !!
Paul Raymond, London, Juli 1998.

I mitt tycke en mycket 'phet' live, kan i korta ordalag beskrivas med; rå - glöd - energi - vitalitet - 'lajv' i den rätta bemärkelsen. Ljudet är mycket bra, men visst en & annan miss hörs ju ! Själv finner jag det 'charmigt'...... Låtlista: 1. Natural Thing 2.Mother Mary 3.A Self Made Man 4.Electric Phase 5. This Kids 6.Out In The Streets 7.One More For The Rodeo 8.Venus 9.Pushed To The Limit 10.Love To Love 11.Too Hot To Handle 12.Only You Can Rock Me 13.Lights Out 14.Doctor Doctor 15.Rock Bottom !

The following text is from the CD-label:
Whatever you may expect to hear that doesn't appear - the odd word or note that isn't too clear - this is exactly how it happened in Wolverhampton on Feb. 10th 1998. Straight from the mixing desk, warts n' all and untouched by a studio ! The slightly controversial but highly acclaimed 'Strangers In The Night' proved to be an inspiration to a future generation of hard rockers, and became a classic. That's something we're all proud of, and this recording only serves to prove that yes, we really were that good - and twenty years later, we keep getting better - listen up !!
Paul Raymond, London, July 1998.

In my opinion A very good live, can in short terms describes as; raw - heat - energy - vitality - live in the right sens. The sound is very good, but sure one and another mistake can be heard ! And it doesn't matter. My highlights are A Self Made Man, Electric Phase, This Kids - turn up the volume during the blues section !! One More For The Rodeo and Venus.

MSG: The Unforgiven World Tour 99

Vad ska man säga..........
"The bad ass mother fucker is A fuckin' guitargenius" Här visar Schenker var skåpet ska stå ! Vicken jäla snubbe, alla toner sitter som en pommesFrites. Hör bara på solot i Armed And Ready - vilken annan gitarrist skulle sätta tonerna så kliniskt perfekt ? Well, hela bandet lirar hur tight som helst & Micke tycks vara i högform. Inspelningen är gjord under tre kväller på The Edge i Palo Alto, Californien maj -99. Mycket bra ljud men Schenker's gura hade kunnat vara ett litet litet strå vassare ibland. Jag är förvisso lite pedantisk.... Annars inga överraskningar förutom att han spelar samma gamla låtar som alltid ? Tre låtar fr. The Unforgiven spelas. Kelly Keeling dyker upp & sjunger på sju låtar med i mitt tycke lysande resultat !! Denna live är givetvis mycket bra MEN lite tråkig pga. låtvalet. Plattan 'Werewolves Of London' är ett strå vassare

MSG: The Unforgiven World Tour 99

What can you say.......
"The bad ass motha fucker is A fuckin' guitargenius" Michael shows here where the 'cupboard' is supposed to stand ! What a guy, all the tune/notes are as perfect as it can beeeee. Just listen to the solo in Armed And Ready - what other guy/guitarist can do it so perfect ?! Well, the whole band are playing great and very tight & 'Mickey' seems to be in good shape [high-shape]. The recording are done during three nights at The Edge in Palo Alto, CA. May -99. Very good sound but I think Michael's guitar could have been a bit 'sharper' [more raw]. Otherwise no surprises excepted he plays the same old songs as always ?! [Only] three tracks from The Unforgiven are performed ? Kelly Keeling 'dives up' and he does seven tracks/song, and in my opinion with very good results. This live is of course very good but little booooring because of the track-list. [See MSG Story Live, nearly the same ?] The CD 'Werewolves Of London' is one 'steep ahead' . . . .

HELLO Stockholm - Will You PLZ Welcome from Savstedt Mr. MICHAEL SCHENKER!

Tower - The return of MS ... and It keeps goin' on and on and on and on ...
Between The Walls - FORCE IT - 'Lights ON' - We're leaving ...

Why these songs ? Well - mostly that these songs has NEVER been recorded LIVE before. I just don't get it WHY Michael is recording two Live-Shows in a row with the same [nearly] tracking-list ?! [The Story & Unforgiven World Tour] - it beats me ... [above list was written in the sand, sorry, written before AOTI]

• Guitar - Michael Schenker [obvious!]
• Vocals - Phill Mogg, Graham Bonnet & Gary Barden
• BassGuitar - Pete Way & Chris Glenn
• RhythmGuitar/Keybord - Paul Raymond
• Drums - Mr. Simon Phillips

... and the name would be 'A Week-End In Stockholm' - with friends ...

It's hard to explain but when Michael comes out with a new record, you expect to hear a new 'MSG 3'. A runner-up to 'MSG 1:2', you're waiting for a new Let Sleeping Dogs Lie or a new Looking Out From Nowhere. Well - the 'other' records [from -87...] are good 'AOR' music BUT they DO NOT have the soul of Schenker ... BUT - he's latest work - The Unforgiven, is very good. Has it all BUT 'theeee' solo is missing. Great songs, riffs and guitarwork and so on ... It's only in the song Tower You get to know the 'real' Schenker feeling. Well, anyway this is the best album that MSG has put out since -84 and I'm sure there is more to come, this very year...
