MICHAEL SCHENKER - Rock Bottom feat. KAI HANSEN

From the upcoming album 'My Years With UFO' (out September 20th, 2024)

Michael Schenker’s tenure with the British hard rock band UFO during the 1970s remains one of the most celebrated periods in the annals of rock. During these years, UFO recorded the albums ‘Phenomenon’, ‘Force It’, ‘No Heavy Petting’, ‘Lights Out’, ‘Obsession’, and the seminal live album ‘Strangers in the Night’.

Now, in 2024, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album ‘My Years with UFO’ alongside today’s rock elite. The new album marks the 50th anniversary of Schenker's era with UFO, spanning from 1972 to 1978.

‘My Years with UFO’ presents 11 of UFO's greatest hits from this era with an impressive lineup of guest stars. Joining Schenker on this journey are Derek Sherinian on keys, Brian Tichy on drums, and Barry Sparks on bass.

The stellar roster of guest artists includes Axl Rose, Slash, Kai Hansen, Roger Glover, Joey Tempest, Biff Byford, Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum, Dee Snider, Joel Hoekstra, Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Adrian Vandenberg, Michael Voss, Stephen Pearcy, and Erik Grönwall.

The new single ‘Rock Bottom’ feat. Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray, Helloween) paves the way for what promises to be one of the most exciting rock albums of 2024.

To those who make comparisons to the epic beloved original 1974 version, that's all cool. But please realize this 2024 version is NOT meant to replace it by any means. It's the 50th anniversary of the song and Michael is just doing an updated version to commemorate. 50 years since he first recorded with UFO. I am totally diggin' this update in the end times, woooo!

[walterevans]

Michael playing this LIVE on STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT was absolutely ELECTRIFYING ...I knew all his solos note for note as a young player ....& he taught me so much God Love Him. ....Hearing this NOW in 2024 is STILL emotional for me. (Paul)

[dougie]

Once you’re heard strangers in the night, nothing comes close. For me the greatest live album ever

[m.ericwatson]

Michael Schenker is that guitarist that you've felt like you've all but exhausted the "best of" list, then holy smokes, this dude can shred, and so tasteful and expressive.

[JasonReese]

Schenker, still one of the top electric guitar players of all time.

[MdlAgedHeadbanger]

I loved this song when I first heard the studio version. I was blown away when I heard the live version with UFO. I have been lucky enough to see Michael play this twice. Can't wait to buy this!

[MarkWalker]

Kai "Midas" Hansen, all that he touches becomes to gold

[ricksegal]

Excellent. Brings me back to the 70's

[zenn]

I saw Michael Schenker play with UFO way back in the day. People were holding up signs saying Schenker is god. The good ole days.

[dhala]

This sounds absolutely great. Michael Schenker has made such an incredible comeback in his life and he sounds tremendous. He is enjoying it and having fun. That is all that matters.

[nicoa.mcgreggor]

4 plus decades ago I was playing in an literally abandoned theater and along came Michael and we chatted in German and just started shredding, ..It was awesome, ..

[duyle]

Pretty darn good version of Rock Bottom. I've never heard of Kai before. He sounds great. I hope Michael will ask Kai to tour with him.

[adkleiner]

My oh my, he continues to just blow the doors off! The intro is incredible, that tone! So psyched for this album…

[marclehmann]

Ist echt gut geworden. Kai & Michael sind wahre Meister ihres Fachs. Wie auch schon bei Mother Mary zuvor. Nichts schlägt das Original. Die neue Version hier Ist gut um eine neue Zuhörerschaft für den Michael Schenker zu akquirieren. 🤘

[MadMacSF]

Kai Hansen doing a killer job on vocals! Michael sounds great!

[Moteridgerider]

Mr Schenker’s playing gets better and better as he grows older.

[husainalkandari]

Michael schenker is the best forever and ever 💪🏻

[yuri_nazarenko]

Two German guitar heroes, what a great duo! I believe it is from the new album "My Years With UFO", which is planned for September.

[MercutioUK]

Kai still has a great rock voice, I think it's matured quite fantastically.

Both legends, obviously.

[Vntilator]

This is awesome with Michael and Kai in same song.
