Free Music Notes for The PlotFree Music Review: Killer!!! Hit: 5 StarsThis album just plain rocks! The cd was smoking in my player by track two! So what if Pete Way's vocals don't appeal to every critic's taste. The whole vibe is about kicking butt and having fun doing it. I don't think Pete's vocals are all that bad. In fact, I find them quite humorous but the main reason to buy this is because Schenker is really in top form here and I think his performances will suprise even the oldest fans. It's that good! I know I got my money's worth
Free Music Review: Great riffs; Terrible vocals Hit: 1 StarsI was looking forward to cranking this cd in my car. The guitar playing is everything you would expect from Michael Schenker. However, the vocals are strained and ill-fitted for the the material. Oh, for Phil Mogg....
Free Music Review: Whoa!!! Hit: 5 StarsDo not expect UFO, this is just straight ahead, unadulterated hard rock at its best. Pete Ways is no singer, yet he sings heavenly here. In fact, the track "Kicked Out" is so awesome that I would pay $50 bucks just for that ONE song. Schenker shines and Jeff Martin on drums is really amazing. The sound of the CD is also phenomenal, you can play it really loud wothout distortion and Pete Way's bass sounds really heavy and deep. The Plot rocks out of this world!!!!
POUNDING bass!
CRUNCHING guitar!
BANZAI drumming!
WILD singing!
... this is insane stuff! Bravo Way!!
Free Music Review: Schenker,.....Way to Go Hit: 5 StarsI finally picked up this disc with much hesitation. I am a huge UFO/Schenker fan and being the cd completeist that I am, I was quite bothered by this release. I viewed it as being some substandard demos that were the result of an aborted project. Well to a degree that remains true, however the music is so good it really doesn't matter what the facts are. First of all, I feared substandard sound and production quality. I find the disc highly listenable and enjoyable. It doesn't sound demo quality. It really is crisp and clear. Jeff Martin's drum tracks are punchy and solid. Schenker's guitar tone is unmistakeable. It really has an album quality sound to it...Okay enough said there. The songs are simply great. They really do not sound punky, in as much as they sound like great bluesy rock and roll. I see it more Stonesy than anything. Maybe in some way this disc might serve as a glimpse into what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like with Scenker on guitar, had he joined them when offered. The material is very simple, but at the same time, really good. Here are two musicians in Michael Schenker and Pete Way who are both accomplished songwriters had have developed their craft over the past 30 years. These songs have a feel of being put together quickly and easily between the two of them. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, but not in this case. They are fresh and simple, yet catchy and enjoyable. Pete's vocals are not Phil Mogg in any way, but they aren't bad. I would compare them to a Keith Richards type style, which adds to the Stones comparision.
Overall this not in the same vein as MSG or UFO, but is proves to be an interesing glimpse into what these two great musicians and friends could hammer out together when getting together to jam and write a few songs. I would really recommend this disc to anyone who enjoys either UFO or just great, simple bluesy rock and roll music....Give it a try, you will enjoy it....
Free Music Review: Just Great Rock Hit: 5 StarsThis is just what all of us who grew up on 80's hard rock need to hear. It is so refreshing. Just plain, no-nonsense, in your face, kick butt rock. Michael is just magical. His melodic tone and heavy riffin' is all over this cd. Pete does not have a very good voice, but that does not matter, it really fits well with the music. Heck, does Lemmy have a good voice? Jeff Martin plays drums on this one and is really, really good, just check out the song "Kicked Out". One of Michaels' best solo's of all-time is on "Senorita". This is one of my favorite cd's of the last 10 years; I can't take it out of my player. Buy It!
