An excellent guitarist, over the years Michael Schenker has surrounded himself with numerous collaborators in an ever-changing line-up. The Michael Schenker Group (1980) and M.S.G.

The albums Be Aware of Scorpions (2001) and Arachnophobiac (2003) define the style of a band that has reinvented itself over time, with Robin McAuley (vocals) and Steve Mann (guitar, keyboards) as faithful contributors. From 1987 to 1992, the McAuley Schenker Group, centered around the guitarist and singer, was in full swing. In 2022, Universal honors the German, Japanese and Swedish charts.
