Tales of Rock N Roll Posted: 12 Oct 2010 07:48 PM PDT Tales of Rock N Roll Alfred Publishing AVG. Rating 3.0 Tales of Rock N Roll Feature CD Michael Schenker Tales of Rock N Roll Overview Guitarist Michael Schenker continues to count among the most important and most admired guitarists of the international rock scene. Whether as a member of the SCORPIONS, British rock act UFO, short-lived CONTRABAND or as a solo artist with his own act, MSG, Schenker has been involved in countless classic bands in the history of rock music. Now signed to Armageddon Music Germany’s favourite guitar hero returns with his latest opus TALES OF ROCK N’ROLL. Armageddon Music. 2006. Customer Reviews What is this? – F&J – Elmhurst, NY I love Schenker, but this cd is just a showcase for his guitar and everyone that ever sang for MSG. It sounds like one long song. There’s just no feel to it. It’s hard to get into. But hey, if you worship this guy then it’s for you. Great Playing, bad singing – Jeffrey Michael Kerr – USA I’ve been a Schenker fan since the mid 80’s when I started playing guitar. MS’s last 14 years have been his most productive in the sheer number of his releases. For this, I thank him very, very much! However, like throwing paint on a wall, sometimes it’s art and sometimes it’s not. This one falls into that later category. The songs themselves aren’t that bad, as far as the guitar playing goes. It is very similar to his two instrumental releases D&E and Imagination; a bit disjointed, almost stream of conscience writing. The singer though does not fit the MSG style. He is a power metal singer that would sound good in a speed metal type band, but not a blues rock band like MSG. Because of this, I find the CD barely listen able. The songs with his previous singers are good to great: the Gary, Graham, and Robin songs are all outstanding. This CD is best as a download off It**es or Amazon, where you could pick which songs to grab. The last song four songs are the winners (the aforementioned previous singers songs), as well as Angel of Avalon (which was song by the guy off of Written in the Sand). Below par – Ernesto Manzo – Pleasanton, ca United States The guitar work maybe solid but there are only like 2 good songs on the whole cd and most of it sounds the same. Rather boring, yes I a HUGE Schenker fan. Good effort, mainly for the fans – L. Giraud Loyo – Mexico City Most of the 90’s MS went to “holiday” and suddenly start to produce like nuts. Looking back at his musical achievements and his personal problems, it’s good to recognize the consistency but, let’s start to be selective. “Tales” have a few highlights (3-4 songs) mainly the one with Graham Bonett, Robin Mc Auley and two more with the latest singers. To stick all the songs was not a good idea. This record it’s for the fans and most important, MSG took the time and effort to celebrate his 25 anniversary. What I ask is, what ever happend to the so call “musical heroes”? Destiny got them in a exceptional place but, where are the ideas and time to give new music to their fans? Even if they prodeced something “very good” in the past, it’s lack of enthusiasm make them stink even more and put them like an opportunistics that live of the past. (ej Van Halen, Motley Crue, Poison, Black Sabbath, etc, etc…..) In the end, you have the final choice of buy or not to buy. *** Product Information and Prices Stored: Oct 12, 2010 21:48:24 Thanks To : Today’s Deals Shopping HP G71-349WM VW875UA Refurbished Notebook PC Small Lcd Monitor Bose Acoustimass 5 – Speaker System
