[09/29/2024 update No.2]Guitar legend Michael Schenker celebrates the 50th anniversary of his time with UFO live on tour.[09/06/2024 update]
When he joined UFO at the end of 1973, the then 18-year-old Michael Schenker contributed significantly to the British rock band's international mega-success and rose from being "the German Wunderkind" to becoming one of the most renowned guitarists of our time, who continues to influence entire generations of musicians around the world with his legendary guitar playing.
During his time with UFO from 1974-1978, known as the "Schenker era", Michael Schenker released five groundbreaking studio albums such as "Lights Out" (1977) and "Phenomenon" (1974) and the live album "Strangers In The Night" (Live in Chicago 1978), which is still considered groundbreaking today, and is jointly responsible for world hits such as "Doctor Doctor", "Rock Bottom" and "Only You Can Rock Me".
Michael Schenker is not only celebrating the 50th anniversary of his time with UFO with new editions of the best UFO songs of that time period with many guest stars on recordings, but will also be embarking on a major European tour with his backing band in 2025.
The "My Years With UFO" tour spans various countries all over Europe and starts on April 9, 2025 in the Netherlands. From April 10, 2025, you can experience the guitar virtuoso, probably the most famous "Flying V" player in the world, live in Germany with the biggest hits and classics of his UFO era.

[06/19/2024 update]Editorial Reviews
For the first time ever, Michael Schenker returns to his classic years with UFO, revisiting the era that catapulted both him and the British hard rock band to international stardom.
Produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss, the new album marks the 50th anniversary of Schenker's tenure with UFO, spanning from 1972 to 1978. Touring the globe as a teenager, Schenker became a driving force behind some of UFO's most beloved tracks, such as “Doctor Doctor”, “Rock Bottom”, and “Only You Can Rock Me”. During these meteoric years, the UFO albums 'Phenomenon,' 'Force It,' 'No Heavy Petting,' 'Lights Out,' 'Obsession,' and the seminal live album 'Strangers in the Night' were released, each contributing significantly to the genre.
Now, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album, 'My Years with UFO,' alongside today’s rock elite.
The new album presents 11 of UFO's greatest hits from that era with an impressive lineup of guest stars. Joining Schenker on this journey are Derek Sherinian on keys, Brian Tichy on drums, and Barry Sparks on bass.
The stellar roster of guest artists includes Axl Rose, Slash, Kai Hansen, Roger Glover, Joey Tempest, Biff Byford, Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum, Dee Snider, Joel Hoekstra, Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Adrian Vandenberg, Michael Voss, Stephen Pearcy, and Erik Gronwall.

[01/13/2024 update No.2]Hi Ritchie,
Thank you for keeping us all updated on MS news. And thank you as well for posting pictures of your tours in beautiful Japan. This is better than any travel magazine.
I am sending you pictures of the MS cover story from the January 2024 issue of the German magazine RockHard (MSG played at their summer festival last year).
There he talks about his UFO years. He said his parents were fine with him moving to England from Germany as he had already left his parental home and moved into his own apartment in Germany when he was 16 years old. In London he enjoyed going out to the Marquee or Speakeasy to listen to other bands. He calls Phil Mogg a rat, referring to the Chinese horoscope. As MS is a horse in this horoscope, they were a good match. Otherwise there isn't anything new in this article. A guy called Ulli Schiller, who is a recording engineer, remembers the evening of 9th April 1973, when UFO played a club called "Grille" in the German town of Minden. The opening acts were the German Bands Eloy and Scorpions. According to Schiller, UFO stopped their set after the third song. Then, when the audience was about to riot, the local promoter announced that the UFO guitar player was not able to continue, however the Scorpions guitarist would step in. Schiller claims that he had the chance to talk to Bernie Marsden about this incident during a recording session in 2017 and Marsden seemed to confirm his presence at the concert though in a very cryptic way. So is there an alternative to the Marsden-lost-his-passport-and-couldnt-make-it-to-the-gig-story? Maybe. Or just a catchy headline from this magarine.
All the best.
regards,
Jigal
