Its been a nightmare week folks , Pull up a cold Miller and let me know what you think

This weeks featured guitarist
Micheal Schenker
As the first lead guitarist for the Scorpions , then as the lead player in one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time UFO, Then a long solo stint

Michael popularized the Gibson flying V guitar
He is known for playing with a ton of feel and taste, not just a note shredder

From his UFO Days

(In My opinion Phil Moog the vocalist is one of the best in the business
way under rated)

This is the studio cut , but listen to the end , The guitar work is amazing

Getting to the meat of the matter
Here are some that you may have forgotten

Stings first solo LP (Dream of the blue turtles) was a work of genius

This guy still sells out concerts when he tours
I named my daughter after this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5bdJPvrbOw
Deep purple also did a version of this

In the middle 60s this was used as a Yardley cosmetics commercial

A pretty intense song for when it was written

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't own this LP , go on Amazon and buy the cD
Johnny Rivers "Realization" , Easily in the top 10 of all time
Some of the most fantastic music you probably have forgotten

Give me a break here , the vid is a bit out of sync , But the power of the song is fantastic , They took a ton of flack for having a fuzz guitar lead in one of their songs , but the lead itself is a fantastic melodic masterpiece

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am sick , really sick that nobody can make music like this today , Nothing is even close


Enjoy
