Axel Rudi Pell (born 27 June 1960) is a German hard rock guitarist. Formerly a member of the speed‑metal band Steeler, he has pursued a solo career since the late 1980s–early 1990s with his eponymous band Axel Rudi Pell, working with a number of vocalists — the longest‑serving being Johnny Gioeli of Hardline, who joined in 1998. Pell began his musical career with Steeler (1984–88) before leaving in 1988 to pursue a solo path. Over the years, he has worked with drummers such as Jörg Michael and Mike Terrana, and singers including Charlie Huhn, Johnny Gioeli, Jeff Scott Soto and Rob Rock. Gioeli remains the band’s longest‑serving vocalist, having joined in 1998 for the album Oceans of Time, his first musical appearance since Hardline’s 1992 album Double Eclipse. Pell often states that his music revolves around a knight in shining armor embarking on various adventures. Each album continues a new quest, with songs presented as separate stories. His primary guitar influence has been Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. SPV Records released a live DVD on 25 February 2008 titled Live over Europe, featuring the full performance from the Rock Hard Festival in 2007 and a bonus disc with live footage from Pell’s personal archive. In 2012, the live concert CD/DVD Live on Fire was released.
