Axel Rudi Pell - немецкий гитарист, играющий в стиле мелодичный хеви-метал, а также композитор и музыкальный продюсер.
Начинал карьеру в метал-группе «Steeler». После расставания со «Стилером» Пелл тут же организовал собственный проект и нарёк его «Axel Rudi Pell». К себе в компанию Аксель подобрал довольно известных музыкантов — в первый состав «ARP» вошли ударник Йорг Михаэль («Stratovarius», «Rage», «Mekong Delta»), вокалист Чарли Хан («Gary Moore», «Victory»), басисты Волькер Кравчак («Steeler») и Йорг Дейзингер («Bonfire»). Уже с первого диска стали чётко ясны ориентиры Пелла — гитарист вёл свою команду курсом, проложенным Ричи Блэкмором во времена «Rainbow». Мелодичный металл с примесью неоклассики и сентиментальными хуками — таков рецепт практически всех альбомов «ARP».
