He left the band in 1978 to briefly rejoin Scorpions for the recording of Lovedrive, and then to form MSG. He has rejoined UFO three times, producing an album each time.

'Lonesome Crow' is the debut studio album by Scorpions. It was recorded soon after Scorpions became a fully professional band under the production of Conny Plank, apparently in only six or seven days, and released in West Germany as the soundtrack to the German anti-drug movie Das Kalte Paradies. The album's style is darkly melodic, typical for early Scorpions but unlike their later work.

'Lovedrive' is the sixth studio album by Scorpions. Considered by some critics to be the pinnacle of their career, it was a major evolution of the band's sound, exhibiting their "classic style" that would be later developed over their next few albums, cementing the "Scorpions formula" of hard rock songs combined with melodic ballads. It proved to be a major commercial breakthrough, reaching No. 55 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200, which none of their previous five albums had dented at all. The RIAA certified the record as Gold on 28 May 1986, and the album also proved a breakthrough in the United Kingdom where it was the first Scorpions album to chart and peaked at No. 36.
