Schenker himself, in an interview with KNAC radio, claims he was the one to say "no" to Osbourne: "If I would have joined Ozzy Osbourne, I would have screwed up my life. But, Osbourne claims, Schenker made too many outlandish demands (including a private jet). After the death of Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne's first call was to Schenker to replace Rhoads, as the German guitarist and his iconic Flying V were a huge influence on the latter. According to Martin Huxley, Schenker stormed out of the room after producer Gary Lyons made jokes about Nazis. Schenker auditioned for Aerosmith in 1979 after Joe Perry left. He was permanently replaced by Matthias Jabs, who had originally joined Scorpions before Schenker's return. He blamed his very short stay on finding out he did not enjoy playing other people's songs. In 1979, Schenker briefly toured with the band in support of the album. Although it was believed for decades that those three were Schenker's only contributions to the record, during an interview with satellite radio host Eddie Trunk, Schenker vehemently maintained that he contributed to the whole album. He composed and played lead guitar on "Another Piece of Meat", "Coast To Coast" and "Lovedrive". Schenker briefly rejoined Scorpions in late 1978, when they were recording Lovedrive. " Mogg later claimed that I left UFO over a disagreement about which version of 'Rock Bottom' appeared on Strangers," Schenker recalled, "but don't believe everything you read." During this tour the band had recorded six concerts, from which selected tracks would make up their live album Strangers in the Night, released after he left the band. Despite successful albums and tours, Schenker unequivocally quit UFO after their show in Palo Alto, California, on 29 October 1978.
His career with UFO was turbulent, sometimes walking off mid-song and causing shows to be cancelled. Schenker cowrote most of the songs on UFO's major label ( Chrysalis Records) debut Phenomenon. (The Scorpions replaced him with Uli Roth.) With Rudolf's blessing, Schenker accepted. Schenker was invited to be lead guitarist for UFO (taking over from Bernie Marsden, himself a temporary replacement for Mick Bolton). Īfter recording their first album, the Scorpions opened for up-and-coming UK band UFO in Germany. Schenker played with the Scorpions on their debut Lonesome Crow at the age of 16. He played his first gig when he was 11, with Rudolf and the Scorpions in a nightclub. His main influences were Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Leslie West, Johnny Winter and Rory Gallagher. Schenker started playing guitar at an early age, after his brother Rudolf got a Gibson Flying V guitar for his birthday, which captured his imagination. He has been called "a legendary figure in the history of metal guitar." Career Early career and rise to fame: Scorpions and UFO Schenker continues to perform and record. He has rejoined UFO three times, producing an album each time. He left the band in 1978 to found the Michael Schenker Group. In the mid-1970s, Schenker joined UFO, playing lead and rhythm guitar. He was an early member of the hard rock band Scorpions, a band co-founded by his elder brother Rudolf Schenker. He played in the rock band UFO and leads the Michael Schenker Group.

That’s not going to do it for me, you are being selfish.” “Like why? I think that is doing a disservice to the world. He is keeping what I thought at the time, important UFO, alien, extraterrestrial proof in his possession and not showing it.
The people who shot it gave it to him and expected he would keep it hidden for himself. “Here’s the thing though, it’s not his either. And I’ll tell you why I did it, because it’s a little twisted of me to put on a small button camera and film UFO footage that isn’t mine.
Let me tell you this, he should have f**king taken the money because I got the footage anyway. “I offered him $100,000 for this tape after I had seen it. Logan Paul claims he secretly recorded the UFO video.
