Axel Rudi Pell, the German guitar wizard (date of birth 06/27/1960), has become a permanent part of the German Metal scene since he released his first album with the German band "Steeler" (1984 - s/t). Three more albums followed ("Rulin' the earth" in '85, "Strike back" in '86 and finally "Undercover animal" in '88) until he decided to leave and start a solo career in 1989.
Axel Rudi Pell (Born June 27, 1960) is a German guitar player, playing melodic heavy metal. He started off with the band Steeler (1984-1988) before leaving to start his solo career in 1989 with the eponymous band Axel Rudi Pell. During this time, he has played with such drummers as Jörg Michael, Mike Terrana and singers Jeff Scott Soto and Rob Rock. He plays a classic traditional melodic heavy metal, predictably guitar-heavy but less flashy than Yngwie Malmsteen, with an emphasis on softer ballads as evidenced by three separate ballad compilations over the years.
Axel Rudi Pell's latest album is a cover album, Diamonds Unlocked, which was released on September 28, 2007 through SPV Records.
SPV records will release a new Axel Rudi Pell DVD on February 25th, to be titled Live Over Europe, which includes the full performance from the Rock Hard Festival in 2007, and comes with a bonus disc which includes live footage from Pell's own archive.
