From 1986-1992, the band was known as the McAuley Schenker Group, because Schenker wanted to split the writing process with vocalist Robin McAuley.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe music is best described as mostly melodic hard rock with progressive undertones. Schenker is famous for his half-black, half-white Gibson Flying V and for his unorthodox approach to lead guitar. He is sponsored by Dean Guitars and is well known in the neo-classical genre.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Michael+Schenker+Group","playStationPath":"/stations/113420107/play","stationId":113420107,"bioPath":"/music/Michael+Schenker+Group/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/AC+DC","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dd3/dd34b756906b3ba5f5a5718987d67f5c_md.jpg","artistName":"AC/DC","artistId":27,"station_id":113261668},{"musicPath":"/music/Accept","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bf2/bf28115c6ddc03d425709217e57de79d_md.jpg","artistName":"Accept","artistId":26,"station_id":113300318},{"musicPath":"/music/Judas+Priest","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b2f/b2fd5b6e8eb7f7951b3867dae28a1fb7_md.jpg","artistName":"Judas Priest","artistId":2579,"station_id":113268719},{"musicPath":"/music/Michael+Schenker+Fest","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b77/b77641f834a7fc2ef694c0e7d086f917_md.jpg","artistName":"Michael Schenker Fest","artistId":374301,"station_id":395607348},{"musicPath":"/music/Thunder","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/29b/29b4e54960c517d833513f87631e0b8e_md.jpg","artistName":"Thunder","artistId":12294,"station_id":113862268},{"musicPath":"/music/Ian+Gillan","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/94c/94cbecbfbf27009df5847bf06e40abb5_md.jpg","artistName":"Ian Gillan","artistId":80846,"station_id":267958998},{"musicPath":"/music/House+of+Lords","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/64a/64afd26f71aa21e7271c5cd13023b551_md.jpg","artistName":"House of Lords","artistId":107375,"station_id":281656686},{"musicPath":"/music/Dio","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f9a/f9a55597df1a0a54f4d04067665252e1_md.jpg","artistName":"Dio","artistId":10720,"station_id":113274566},{"musicPath":"/music/Kiss","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d70/d70f53dba5987ab05b1630b06d22cc74_md.jpg","artistName":"Kiss","artistId":486,"station_id":113266580},{"musicPath":"/music/Uli+Jon+Roth","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/419/4190ddbebe14d814c4efe6024c0467e3_md.jpg","artistName":"Uli Jon Roth","artistId":109506,"station_id":282140605},{"musicPath":"/music/Blackfoot","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f5b/f5b23781a38a18c52fbe04f2d8697a01_md.jpg","artistName":"Blackfoot","artistId":12462,"station_id":113493833},{"musicPath":"/music/Kingdom+Come","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/44b/44b2666f2b5057c37121f153fdeb1d62_md.jpg","artistName":"Kingdom Come","artistId":81148,"station_id":268119630},{"musicPath":"/music/Yngwie+J+Malmsteen+s+Rising+Force","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0b4/0b407b73a4361c5d6a24be4cd8f2998b_md.jpg","artistName":"Yngwie J.
