Arachnophobiac is the eleventh full-length studio album recorded by the various M.S.G. lineups and the eighth studio album by the German hard rock band Michael Schenker Group released in 2003. After leaving UFO, rumors were spread about Schenker’s health and well-being. These were put to rest at his announcement of an extensive tour and an all-new solo release. The album was recorded with Michael Schenker on guitars, Chris Logan on vocals, Stuart Hamm on bass guitar and Jeremy Colson on drums.
