Classic Rock Podcast: Exclusive interview with Michael Schenker

Michael Schenker: detail from the cover of his new Temple Of Rock CD/DVD

Listen to (or download) an all-new Podcast with guitar legend Michael Schenker.

“Nobody can play very well when they’re drunk on stage, that’s for sure,” says Schenker. “My journey had to be extreme… you have to fall very deep before you climb very high.”

Schenker talks frankly to Classic Rock‘s Geoff Barton about his darkest days – and how he turned his career around.
