Michael Schenker
Born in the small town of Sarstedt, West Germany, in January 1955 was legendary guitarist Michael Schenker. He was named “a legendary figure in the history of metal guitar.” The German guitarist was also an original member of the rock band named Scorpions. Later, in the mid-70s, he and his brother, Rudolf Schenker, founded a band called UFO. All in all, Schenker has quit and rejoined the UFO band at least three times now, and after each reunion, has knocked out a song.

Duane Allman
The founder and leader of the Allman Brothers Band were Howard Duane Allman, the band that allowed him to play along with his brother, Gregg Allman. Tragically, Duane died after a crash, essentially smashing his internal organs on his motorcycle. He was only 24 years of age. His expressive slide guitar playing and his improvisational ability on the instrument were well-known to him. The Allman Brothers’ album “Live at the Fillmore East” is often cited as one of the best live rock albums ever released.
