When I say the name Udo Dirkschneider, what do you envision? I would think your brain might automatically take you to the early 1980's, when his iconic West German metal band, ACCEPT, ruled the charts with the classic "Balls to the wall."
Like you, I go there too, because well... this was a moment that you don't forget. That said, I've kept an eye on him over the years and watched his legend grow along with his never ending passion for entertaining his audience. He's the biggest and brightest from a generation of musicians that have died off or retired.
Would I mention the word retirement around UDO? Not on your life.
His new album, My Way, is a collection of cover songs pinpointing moments in UDO's life that he, in turn, thought we might also enjoy....and enjoy we do. Whether it's Queen, Tina Turner, or Billy Squire, UDO has it covered.
Please enjoy my chat with a wonderful kind bear hug of a man. This is UDO Dirkschneider and this is Rockstar Superhero.
