INTERVIEW: UDO DIRKSCHNEIDER, April 2022
By Shane Pinnegar
Udo Dirkschneider is one of the elder statesmen of Heavy Metal, having fronted German pioneers Accept from their foundation in 1976 through to his departure in 1987. Through that time he helmed the band through seven mighty studio albums, including the seminal Restless & Wild, Balls To The Wall and Metal Heart.
After leaving the band Dirkschneider formed U.D.O., and has released an epic SIXTEEN studio albums. He’s also played as Dirkschneider and performed duets with the likes of Raven, Doro and Lordi, but for the very first time in his career, he has just released a solo album – a collection of cover songs titled, appropriately, My Way.
Udo generously made some time to place a Zoom call and discuss the new album in detail with 100% ROCK MAGAZINE, just two weeks after his seventieth birthday.
So, I have to say, it’s an absolute honour to talk to you. Restless and Wild, and Metal Heart were amongst the very first records I ever bought. Also, happy birthday to you for 2 weeks ago. How does it feel to be a 70-year-old headbanger?

U.D.O. is a German heavy metal band founded by lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider in 1987.
History
[edit]Following Dirkschneider's departure from Accept in 1987, he formed his own band called U.D.O. The first line-up consisted of guitarists Mathias Dieth and Peter Szigeti, bassist Frank Rittel and drummer Thomas Franke. They released the debut album Animal House on 3 November 1987, which was entirely written by Accept. Szigeti, Rittel and Franke departed the band and was replaced by guitarist Andy Susemihl, bassist Thomas Smuzyszki and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann. The second album Mean Machine was released on 10 January 1989.
Susemihl left the band, leaving U.D.O. as a four-piece. The third album Faceless World was released on 25 February 1990. Its sound was a more commercial output, but achieving great success; this being their best selling album so far. The fourth album Timebomb was released on 3 April 1991. It was a heavier effort than their previous releases. In 1992, Dirkschneider put U.D.O. on hiatus to reunite with Accept.
In 1996, Dirkschneider reactivated U.D.O. with a brand new line-up; former Accept drummer Stefan Kaufmann, now performing as a guitarist, with guitarist Jür
