Michael Schenker
Based in the small town of Sarstedt, West Germany, the legendary guitarist Michael Schenker was born in January 1955. It was dubbed “a legendary figure in the history of metal guitar.” The German guitarist was also an original member of a rock band called Scorpions. Later, in the mid-’70s, he and his brother, Rudolf Schenker, formed a UFO band. All in all, Schenker has left and joined the UFO band at least three times now, and he’s knocked out a song after every reunion.

Duane Allman
The founder and leader of the Allman Brothers Band were Howard Duane Allman, a band that allowed him to perform with his brother Gregg Allman. Tragically, Duane died after an accident, effectively destroying his vital parts. He was just 24 years old. His dynamic slide guitar playing and his improvisational skills on the instrument were well known to him. The Allman Brothers album “Live at Fillmore East” is often cited as one of the best live rock albums ever released.
