ALBUM REVIEW: MICHAEL SCHENKER - TEMPLE OF ROCK


Michael Schenker has boldly gone where man has not gone before. Not only has he enlisted a spoken intro from Star Trek's William Shatner but the guitar maestro is well oiled and ready to roll. Metal Mickey has enlisted the help of many friends from past and present. Originally started under the banner of 'Strangers In The Night' with former UFO band mate Pete Way, Michael Voss and former Scorpions drummer Herman Rarebell, as the work progressed many more names got involved including his brother Rudolf, Leslie West, Don Airey, Paul Raymond Etc. Retreating to a sound that can be found on the first two MSG albums it's full of deadly riffs from blistering opener 'How Long' to the classic hard rock of 'Before The Devil Knows You're Dead' with Doogie White on vocals. A fluid front-frontal attack from the mad axeman!
