Guitarist Michael Schenker from Hanover, Germany, continues to count among the most important and most admired guitarists of the international rock scene. His extremely fluent style, his successful combination of fiery rock licks, awesome power riffs and classical quotations has made him an icon for a whole generation. Whether as a member with the Scorpions and the British rock act, UFO, a participant in the great, if short-lived Contraband, or as a solo artist with his own act, MSG: Schenker has been involved in countless classics in the history of rock music. He signed a contract with the North German record label, Armageddon Music, in winter 2005 and is scheduled to release his new album, Tales Of Rock`n Roll - 25 Years Celebration, on April 28, 2006.

The current MSG line-up, due to embark on their Tales Of Rock`n Roll World
Tour 2006 on May 4 in Istanbul, consists, next to Schenker, of
guitarist/keyboarder Wayne Findley, drummer Pete Holmes, bassist Rev Jones and Finnish vocalist Jari Tiura. The extensive tour will take the Michael
Schenker Group to Germany , Britain , the Netherlands , France , Spain , Italy , Croatia , Austria , Turkey , Belgium , Bulgaria and Switzerland , among others. Fans may look forward to an impressive best-of show featuring all the band`s classics, as well as numerous brand-new songs.

As part of this year`s Frankfurt music fair, there will be a signing session
including CD presentation at the Nachtleben in Frankfurt on April 2, 2006,
where Michael and Rudolf Schenker will also introduce their new Schenker
Brothers Dean guitar. The following day, WDR radio will record the MSG show
at the Underground in Cologne for their Rockpalast series. A further
highlight is the appearance at the Graspop Metal Meeting and of course the
show at the Wacken Open Air cult festival on August 3, 2006 before and with
the Scorpians. Without a doubt, 2006 looks set to be an MSG year!

"Der bleibt erst einmal hier!" Scorpions-Gründer Rudolf Schenker freut sich, dass sein Bruder Michael nach 15 Jahren im amerikanischen Phoenix jetzt wieder in der Nähe von Hannover wohnt. Beide Gitarristen trennen nun nur wenige Kilometer voneinander und das jüngste gemeinsame Projekt der beiden ist die "Schenker-Brothers-Guitar", die in einer limitierten Edition von nur 200 Exemplaren weltweit unter der offiziellen Bezeichnung "Schenker Brothers V" verkauft wird; Eine ausgesprochen edle Sechssaitige also, mit der sich Rudolf und Michael zwecks Promotion im Coopers in Hannover von Starfotograf Marc Theis in Szene setzen ließen. Dafür rückte die Moderatorin Frauke Ludowig extra noch einmal ihren Prototyp des Modells heraus: den hatte ihr der Scorpions-Gitarrist nämlich bereits eigenhändig, zur Nutzung für einen karikativen Zweck, vermacht .
