MSG U.S. tour 2022 lineup:

Michael Schenker - lead guitar Ronnie Romero - vocals Bodo Schopf - drums Steve Mann - keyboards, guitars Barend Courbois – bass

There are few rock guitarists on this planet who have had such a lasting influence on so many renowned musicians as Michael Schenker . With his outstandingly fluid style, inexhaustible wealth of ideas and instinctive feel for hooks and melodies, Michael Schenker is a living legend who, despite his longstanding and distinguished history, still impresses with his unflagging energy and drive. The blond stringsman from Sarstedt, Germany began his international career in the early 1970s with the SCORPIONS , achieved worldwide fame after joining British rock group UFO and then seamlessly continued his exceptional global success story under his own name, as well as with acts such as MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP ( MSG for short), TEMPLE OF ROCK and MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST . Schenker and his career, which has spanned more than fifty years, are absolute exceptions in the otherwise short-lived music industry.

Now his latest MSG album is about to be unleashed, scheduled for release on Atomic Fire Records on May 27 under the programmatic moniker of "Universal" . His latest offering will feature all the strengths of this exceptional musician: first-rate songs with anthemic melodies, catchy guitar riffs and inspiring solos. As we have come to expect from him, Schenker has once again enlisted a number of prestigious fellow musicians for the recording of his new studio production, among them, as main vocalist Ronnie Romero ( RAINBOW , VANDENBERG ),who will also be MSG 's frontman on their upcoming tour, Michael Kiske ( HELLOWEEN ) and Ralf Scheepers ( PRIMAL FEAR ),keyboard player Steve Mann ( LIONHEART ),drummers Simon Phillips ( TOTO , THE WHO ), Brian Tichy ( WHITESNAKE , FOREIGNER ), Bobby Rondinelli ( RAINBOW ) and Bodo Schopf ( ELOY ),as well as legendary bassists Bob Daisley ( BLACK SABBATH ), Barry Sparks ( YNGWIE MALMSTEEN , DOKKEN ) and Barend Courbois ( BLIND GUARDIAN , ZAKK WYLDE ),with Tony Carey as a very special guest.

Like its predecessor "Immortal" (2021) and the MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST albums "Resurrection" (2018) and "Revelation" (2019), "Universal" was produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss ( LESSMANN/VOSS , MAD MAX ) at Voss 's Kidroom Studio , which has become something of a creative home away from home for Schenker .

" Michael Voss is happy to wait until I have worked out an idea and takes the time to really get to know the song, simultaneously developing ideas for the vocals," Schenker describes the fruitful collaboration which has one cog intermesh with the other. "Then we work out the drums, bass and some keyboard parts together. He always has plenty of great ideas up his sleeve."

Compositional highlights abound on "Universal" , from the haunting opener "Emergency" and the subsequent "Under Attack" with its casually driving groove to "The Universe" , featuring an atmospheric duet by Ronnie Romero and Gary Barden , "Wrecking Ball" , performed as brilliantly as ever by Ralf Scheepers , and "London Calling" with its homage to the British capital's musical spirit.

The rock anthem "A King Has Gone" and its intro "Calling Baal" both have a special significance: The track, sung by HELLOWEEN frontman Michael Kiske , is a tribute to the immortal Ronnie James Dio , in particular to his performance on the 1976 hard rock classic "Rainbow Rising" . For this reason, Schenker has brought together an original RAINBOW rhythm section consisting of Bobby Rondinelli and Bob Daisley , additionally enlisting keyboardist Tony Carey , who also played on "Rainbow Rising" , for a terrific Moog synth intro — a direct reference to the iconic intro of the 1976 album opener "Tarot Woman" . The impressive result "Calling Baal" / "A King Has Gone" is already considered to be one of the most important and successful songs in Schenker 's career to date, both musically and lyrically.

In line with all these highlights, the spectacular album cover designed by Zsofia Dankova ( POWERWOLF , among others) features Schenker in a futuristic spaceship, floating high up in orbit. The artwork is based on the guitarist's own visions.

"I had the original idea for the album cover a few years ago, but only now does it seem to fit perfectly," he says. "So I sent some older sketches to my label Atomic Fire Records , and based on this the final artwork and album title were created."

"June 6, 2022 marks the 40th Anniversary of the band that has rocked and shocked, thrashed, trashed and blasted its way into shock and roll history. Your band, the world’s band… my band W.A.S.P.," states an update from Blackie Lawless.

To celebrate, the band will embark on their first U.S tour in a decade and take fans back through 40 years of madness. Coming along for the trek are L.A.’s Armored Saint, who are also celebrating their 40th Anniversary. And as a special treat, Michael Schenker will appear on the Texas and Tulsa shows.

Blackie Lawless commenting on the US tour, "For over 10 years we have not toured on U.S. soil. But starting Oct. 28th, 2022… we return. 10 years I’d want, 10 years I’ve cussed, 10 years I’d lust to return…. To my home land… and be a Wild Child, a Love Machine, to be Blind in Texas, On Your Knees and Headless."

Joined by bassist Mike Duda, and Doug Blair whose time in the band is 26 and 18 years, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester, they will take the band and the fans back to where it all started, complete with the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live

Blackie concludes: "So join me and the band, and very special guests Armored Saint, as we celebrate W.A.S.P 40th Anniversary Tour… Back in the US…. Back to the Beginning. I’m gonna scream, cause I wanna feed, cause I wanna bleed, cause I Wanna Be Somebody. W.A.S.P. 40th Anniversary Tour… Back in the US…. Back to the Beginning."

Armored Saint vocalist John Bush states, "Armored Saint is totally pumped to be the special guest on the upcoming 40th anniversary tour of W.A.S.P. This tour will take us back to our fond memories of sharing the stage together with W.A.S.P. at the Troubadour in Hollywood where it all began in 1982. We're also excited to be playing tunes from our last record, Punching The Sky, since we haven't done any shows since its release in 2020. Old schoolers, I expect you there!

Hard rock guitar fans know that The Michael Schenker Group is the best guitar music on the music scene. Sure, the band has had problems and members have come and gone, but Michael Schenker has managed to keep the heart of the group together for a couple of decades.

I saw the band live at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California, in February, 2014. That's a great venue with great acoustics and this band's non-stop, irreplaceable guitar and vocal talent shined even brighter than the house lights. The Michael Schenker Group played to the sold out crowd, starting with “Attack of the Mad Axeman” and it was guitar heaven for a full two hours until their last song, "Into the Arena Armed and Ready".

Each and every minute was an epic performance all by itself. It wasn't just me who had a good time. Everywhere I looked, the fans were going crazy. The band really knew how to keep the fans going too, shouting out and pointing at us and really keeping the energy high and the crowd going. It was an awesome show!

W.A.S.P. Announce 40th Anniversary World Tour U.S. Dates with ARMORED SAINT

June 6, 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most infamous, notorious, controversial heavy metal bands in the world… W.A.S.P. To celebrate, the band will embark on their first U.S tour in a decade and take fans back through 40 years of madness. Coming along for the trek are L.A.’s ARMORED SAINT , who are also celebrating their 40th Anniversary. And as a special treat, MICHAEL SCHENKER will appear on the Texas and Tulsa shows.

Blackie Lawless commenting on the U.S. tour, “For over 10 years we have not toured on U.S. soil. But starting Oct. 28th, 2022… we return. 10 years I’d want, 10 years I’ve cussed, 10 years I’d lust to return…. To my home land… and be a Wild Child, a Love Machine, to be Blind in Texas, On Your Knees and Headless.”

The band’s founding member, Blackie Lawless , has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for four decades. Joined by bassist Mike Duda , and Doug Blair whose time in the band is 26 and 18 years, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester , they will take the band and the fans back to where it all started, complete with the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live

“So join me and the band, and very special guests Armored Saint, as we celebrate W.A.S.P 40th Anniversary Tour… Back in the U.S…. Back to the Beginning. I’m gonna scream, cause I wanna feed, cause I wanna bleed, cause I Wanna Be Somebody. W.A.S.P. 40th Anniversary Tour… Back in the US…. Back to the Beginning.” Blackie Lawless

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
