Guitar legend Michael Schenker recently spoke with his label, Nuclear Blast, about what led him to join the Scorpions early on in his career. He was with the band from 1969 - 1973 and appeared on the Lonesome Crow (1972) and Lovedrive (1979) albums.

Two new video trailers for the new Michael Schenker Fest studio album, Resurrection, can be seen below. In the first clip, Michael Schenker reminisces on writing the UFO classic, "Rock Bottom":

In another video, Graham Bonnet reminisces about "that fateful show in '82":

Resurrection is out now, with physical and digital orders available here.
