The long history of metal legend Udo Dirkschneider unfolds in this illuminating release. A former member of the German power metal outfit Accept--which he left after well-publicized creative differences with Wolf Hoffman--Udo has gone on to assume complete control over his artistic output with his guitar-driven band, U.D.O. Udo´s dedication to pure metal has rendered him an idol among fans, and he is known almost as much for his approachable nature as for his stylistic impact on the genre. Included are classic Accept songs and plenty of U.D.O. material, as well as seven previously-unreleased tracks. In a particularly entertaining clip, Udo is shown singing with the Russian band Aria.
