Matthias Jabs was born in 1956. He is a guitarist whose biggest claim to fame has been his long history with the Scorpions. He first joined the group in 1979 as a replacement for
Michael Schenker. Actually,
Schenker, brother of
Scorpions stalwart
Rudolf Schenker, was only a temporary replacement for
Uli Jon Roth. Jabs signed on while the band was in the process of recording Lovedrive, an album that was a bit of a breakthrough for the group. With the LP in production at the time, both Jabs and
Michael Schenker appeared, although
Schenker is credited as a guest while Jabs is shown as a member of the band. Jabs has stayed with that group for the duration since joining, being their guitarist through their glory days. Outside of that band, he has only recorded one album with
Cliff Richard. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
