5.0 out of 5 stars Schenker,.....Way to Go, October 18, 2005

I 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....

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Great Rock, June 9, 2005

This 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars UFO INSPIRED BUT NOT DUPLICATED, October 13, 2003

OK first off Michael Shenker is GOD. This cd highlights everything I love about Shenkers guitar playing. The sound, the attitude and the catchy riffs that make you want to pick up a guitar and learn each and every note. Pete Ways vocals take a bit of getting used to, but they do grow on you after a few listens. The singing falls somewhere in between Lemmy and some drunk karaoke singer doing a decent Bon Scott impersonation. All in all a great cd that rocks from start to finish. For fans of UFO and Hanoi Rocks.
