One of my favourite guitar players, but $20 says the show gets cancelled and even if he shows up he'll be drunk and whacky. Might still go though.

Has he fallen off the wagon? I thought he had been sober for awhile now? Shit I might be away then but it is a possibility that I would attend.
You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already.

No idea, he just seemed to cancel every tour for the longest time. Last time I saw him was about '98 and he was fantastic, but seems to have been a trainwreck since then.

Michael Schenker.
Brother of Rudolf Schenker. MS was original guitar player in Scorpions, rejoined for Lovedrive album, was on classic UFO albums and then had a pretty successful solo career. Fantastic melodic hard rock guitar player when he's 'on', but he's also totally insane, makes Axl and Eddie Van Halen look normal. Vanishes for weeks, cancels tours, puts rambling paranoid theories about ex-wives and bandmates on his website, gets into fights onstage etc

Rudolph Schenker's brother. They were both in The Scorpions.... Michael had a bad heroin problem and was booted...They had him back for awhile doing a tribute kind of tour within the past 2 years...He went from the Scorpions to form MSG (Michael Schenker Group) They were good. He hit bottom and went through many singers. I believe he was to have a CD with all the different singers he worked with to sing 1 or 2 of his hit songs. I think every album/CD he has put out since getting clean have been titled "Thank You" ??? I hope he is still sober.

He was also in UFO. He was 16 when he started touring with his brother and the Scorpions. He actually played for UFO who opened for The Scorpions who he also played with. The UFO guitarist had passport problems and they asked Michael to fill in. So he played with both bands.
