Description

Michael Schenker talks about new album Don’t Sell Your Soul, the second part of a trilogy that reclaims his story. Too many people think it all began with MSG in 1980, but Schenker is here to set the record straight, going back to his UFO years in the 70s when his riffs became the backbone of some of the greatest hard rock ever put to tape. He also explains why he walked away from the lure of working with Ozzy Osbourne, and why freedom and self-expression have always mattered more than money or fame. He describes why he rediscovered the songs from UFO’s classic live LP, Strangers in the Night, and the energy he chases when writing. This is Schenker reflecting on a lifetime of invention and the relentless pursuit of his own sound.
