Hahaha, Hey Ramo, I'm still breathing and so is my Father that will be 94 next month.. :celebrate:
So in the grand scheme of things, and as Joe Walsh sings, " life's been good to me so far"
Tele Radio Abomonation syndrome has gleefully passed me by for this lifetime.
I've had a few hurdles in the last year or so, but still am thankful for what hasn't fuked up.
Old UFO music always helps.
Peace

Stay metal, don’t give in at any cost!
 

I saw Elliott play with Michael Schenker in 2012. I recently learned of the passing of Elliott through a conversation I had online the other day.

Sadly, I never got to thank him for a concert I remember the rest of my life when he played alongside Schenker and another Baltimoreon. David VanLanding, singer. RIP both you guys.
 
I've been listening to Phenomenon and Strangers in the Night the last couple of days.
Need to explore more MSG.

The new cheapy Firefly V prompted this.
I'm a recent convert also. If I could recommend Temple of Rock Live In Europe (mentioned earlier), it is an amazing album. Another shout out to @chilipeppermaniac for addicting me to MS.
 
May I suggest, by ironically quoting Julie Andrews: "Let's start at the very beginning", that you start the MSG journey by listening to Michael's solo works from the first half of the 80's (his first four albums: The Michael Schenker Group, MSG, Assault Attack and Built to Destroy.

Essential listening instrumentals: personally recommend "Into The Arena", "Bijou Pleasurette", "Captain Nemo" and "Ulcer".

Those should keep you busy for a bit, getting acquainted with his "slowhand shredder style".
 
And if you want to go deeper into the roots rabbit hole digging up interesting facts, take a dive into the bios of: Michael Schenker, Scorpions, UFO, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Alcatrazz, Dio, Yngwie Malmsteen and Uli Jon Roth. Oh, and of course, Deep Purple! You'll be in for a fun time connecting all the dots (not only genealogical, but also musical and stylistical) while having more than a few "aha!" moments. :cool:
