U.F.O. (El Platillo Volante)

Gregg escribió:En la subsiguiente gira Michael contaría con Ted McKenna y Chris Glen como sección rítmica, además del perenne Wayne Findlay (a este pollo habría que darle una medalla por todos los años de servicio al jefe !).

Ted se desengancha del MSG tras la primera parte de la gira y su lugar lo ocupa Chris Slade.

Con esta formación tocaron en España. El 1 de noviembre de 2008 aterrizaron en Vigo, con Sherpa de telonero. Gran concierto ... de Sherpa. Ya se que Paul estuvo allí y tiene otra impresión del concierto, pero para mi la batería de Chris estaba horriblemente mezclada, y el propio Chris tuvo un par de fallos, uno garrafal (estaría enfermo?); Gary Barden no podía cantar un pimiento, pero al menos se entregaba... eso si, Michael estuvo genial (menos mal).

Este fue el set list, que no varió en toda la gira:

Ride On My Way
Cry For The Nations
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Armed And Ready
Ready To Rock
I Want You
A Night To Remember
Into The Arena
Courvoisier Concerto/Lost Horizons
Rock My Nights Away
On And On
Attack Of The Mad Axeman
bises:
Doctor Doctor
Rock Bottom

Gregg escribió:El bueno de Chris estaba ... rebosante. Aún así tocó bien, aunque lejos de la fiera escénica que se adivinaba por las fotos de los ochentas. Llegamos tarde, amigo Zas !

No te esfuerces, se pasó asi toda la gira  

Gregg escribió:Nah, es bastante anodino este Gypsy Lady. Buenas intenciones, si, pero eso no es suficiente. Barden cantando en tonos bajos la mayor parte del tiempo (para no reventar)... el disco tiene un tufillo de world music (what??) nada recomendable ... Michael está bien, aunque en acústico tiende a ser un poco repetitivo (hay frases que parecen tomadas de otros proyectos acústicos de Michael).

Reseñar que el disco está producido por Michael Voss. Este hombre ya había trabajado con Gary Barden con anterioridad en el grupo Silver y también había producido sus previos discos en solitario.
Voss además toca en el disco acústica adicional, bajo, teclados, arreglos orquestales y coros.

Esto viene a cuento porque este hombre seguirá ligado a Schenker hasta nuestros días.

Paul, muchacho. He visto algunas canciones del top 100 pero no había caído en esto...de todas formas, gracias por subir el topic. Te lo creas o no, venía pensando hoy en el metro en esta peliaguda cuestión de subir o no subir.

A mi esto de las listas...

A ver si Gregg sale de su ostracismo prontamente.

Lo de las listas es cuestión baladí. Es una excusa más para reviíndicar mi grupo favorito de todos los tiempos y este post. Y van ...

La principal influencia de Michael Schenker, Leslie West, tiene nuevo disco.



de classic rock revisisted

Leslie West is one bad to the bone, guitar playing mutha.  Best known as the guy who jammed out the tune “Mississippi Queen” with his band Mountain, West has an amazing solo career filled with great guitar playing and his latest, Still Climbing, is among his brightest gems.

The album, released October 29th on Provogue Records, will feature Leslie continuing the trend he started with the album Unusual Suspects, which saw West invite some famous friends to appear on the record.  West says, “This record is a sequel to Unusual Suspects, where I had friends of mine that include Slash, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather, Joe Bonamassa and Billy Gibbons come to the studio and play. This time, Jonny Lang, Johnny Winter, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and Alter Bridge/Creed’s Mark Tremonti do the honors.

“What’s different on Still Climbing is that I wanted my guitars to sound as big as I look. So I used four of my Dean signature model guitars with my Mountain of Tone humbucking pickups. I plugged them into my Blackstar amps — no pedals — and turned them up loud and raw, and what you hear is exactly what I did in the studio. These Blackstar amps deliver everything I need without 'confidence' pedals. I played one of the early tracks we recorded for Slash, and he said, ‘That is as heavy as it gets.’"

Every song on this sucker is a loud and proud rocker. The best of the bunch are the gritty “Busted, Disgusted or Dead” and the blistering “Dyin’ Since the Day I was Born.”  The rest of them are all worthy and prove that West, who has overcome serious health issues in the recent past, is back, still climbing indeed!

¡Muy buena pinta!

Gregg escribió:El secreto del sonido aplastante de Leslie en Mountain era el amplificador. Si os fijais, en el disco Leslie West-Mountain (anterior al Climbing!) Leslie toca guay, si, pero no tiene ese sonido asesino. Esta es la historia de como descubrió su sonido de labios del propio Leslie:

“MOUNTAIN’S FIRST GIG WAS AT FILLMORE WEST IN 1969,” remembers Leslie West. “I had been using Marshall amps, and that’s what I expected to find when I opened a bunch of cartons that had arrived from the airport, but instead I got a Sunn—and it wasn’t even a guitar amp. The cartons contained a Sunn Coliseum P.A. head and four 4x12 cabinets, and I thought, ‘There’s no way I can get a good tone out of this thing.’ But the head had four microphone inputs and a master volume control, and when I plugged in and turned it up I got this amazing tone, which became my sound. And remember, this was years before amps had master volume controls. The head had huge transformers and gigantic KT88 tubes, and the cabinets were loaded with Eminence speakers, which never hurt your ears even with the treble all the way up. That’s the amp I used on Mountain Climbing, which included ‘Mississippi Queen.’”

Y para completar el asunto el nombre del grupo era "Mountain"

El destino estaba escrito.
