Temple of Rock

Temple of Rock

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker never attained the commercial success of many other hard rock guitarists of his caliber. Hopefully, the release of Temple of Rock will send hard rock fans back to his work with UFO and the Michael Schenker Group. He’s a heavily influential guitarist for other hard rock players, and throughout this release you can hear his striking tone and expert abilities with a tune. The guest list is impressive, including Rudolph Schenker of the Scorpions, Leslie West of Mountain, Don Airey, Carmine Appice, and Star Trek’s William Shatner for the intro piece. The backing band with Pete Way and Paul Raymond is no slouch either. Songs such as “The End of an Era,” “Fallen Angel,” “Storming In,” and the bonus track “Remember” are solid rockers with seasoned playing that recalls hard rock’s halcyon days in the late ‘70s and early ’80s, when it seemed every band was writing exciting and durable anthems with ease.
