The Michael Schenker Group (M.S.G.) is a hard rock band formed in 1979 by the former Scorpions and UFO guitarist Michael Schenker.

It is characterized by modern-sounding hard rock with many extended solo periods in songs allowing Schenker to exhibit his talent. Schenker is a German guitarist, famous for his half-black, half-white Gibson Flying V guitar.

1980 to 1981

The MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP is centred around the extreme guitar talents of ex-UFO and SCORPIONS guitarist MICHAEL SCHENKER, born in Sarstedt on January 10th 1955. The German axeman is renowned for his fluid, melodic and distinctive of playing as well as his trademark black and white Gibson flying V guitar. Unfortunately, this musical genius is tempered with a reputation for disappearing acts mid tour (this having happened during spells with UFO on numerous occasions) and various mood swings attributed to substance abuse and the wayward character of genius.

Having walked out on UFO where, unarguably, Schenker had made his name, an abortive attempt at a band with the MONTROSE rhythm section of drummer Denny Carmassi and bassist Bill Church led to nothing. Schenker was also invited to audition for AEROSMITH to fill Joe Perry’s shoes but one studio meeting between the two parties was as far as that proposed union got.

MSG played live with Graham Bonnet.His last show consisted of him being extremely s h i t faced drunk,and when it came time to introduce the band,he introduced their 2nd guitarist(his name escapes me)who was playing offstage,as "the guy who plays the leads the kraut can't".Needless to say he was gone pretty quickly.
