to? |
Release a DVD on 27 May I believe, but not on my Web site.It's a Polish
company.It's really good. Have just released an album Schenker-
Pattison Summit "The Endless Jam".And I am getting ready to do some
dates on the West Coast,working on Summer Festivals USA/Europe,a
European tour in September or USA.Not sure right now.It's one or the
other,recording 2 songs for a Japanese Video game,maybe doing a
recording with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and preparing for a new MSG album released on my label GOOTT Records by
the end of this year as a 2005 release available only through
www.MichaelSchenkerHimself.com with original singers to celebrate 25
years of MSG.

3. How did the recent UK dates go? (I saw the London show & it was
superb night of classic hard rock?
|
My favorite line up.Concerts are great and fun.
|
4. Have you ever thought of doing a tour with a setlist with songs
chosen by fans, via a website for example? |
No, but I might.
|
5. What is your favourite MSG album and why? And what is your
favourite UFO album and why?
|
I don't have favorite MSG or UFO albums.My fun part is Lead breaks
and I have a meaning behind each one of them and therefore I review
my music differently than other people may do.Song writing is fun too
but the solos are my most fun part.
|
6. What are your memories of working with the late Cozy Powell?
|
Cozy had a very strong personality.
|
7. Any chance of working with Amy Shugar again?
|
No.
|
8. What do you think of the MSG fan sites out there? Do you ever
visit any?
|
It was confusing the first time I saw them which was about 7 month
ago,when I was trying to get my own web site together and realized
that I coulden't even use simply my own name, because it was already
taken,but it's nice to see so manny people having fun with it.
