The Flying V Documentary YouTube channel has released a new interview with guitar legend Michael Schenker. He discusses his life in music, Scorpions, UFO, MSG, sis brother Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions) and the Flying V guitar.
Schenker: "What I do is put new colours into the world because it (music) always come from within. In fact, I'm a trend maker rather than a trend follower, but anybody can do that. It's just the decision of making that decision: do I want to self-express, or do I want to copy something that's already making lots of money to get a piece of it? I never did that."
