Second Studio Album On Picture Disc Vinyl LP!
Featuring "Ready To Rock" & "Attack Of The Mad Axeman"!
The Michael Schenker Group is a rock back formed in 1979 by former UFO and Scorpions guitarist Michael Schenker. Their music is described as mostly melodic hard rock with progressive undertones. Michael Schenker is known for his unorthodox approach to lead guitar, as well as his half-black, half-white Gibson Flying V guitar.
MSG is the second studio album for The Michael Schenker Group, originally released in 1981. The album reached #14 on the UK albums chart and is now reissued on the newly independent Chrysalis Records. Includes the singles "Ready To Rock" and "Attack Of The Mad Axeman".
"Influential guitarist Michael Schenker led his MSG band through their second set of dependable rockers on this, the group's sophomore outing. Although the Michael Schenker Group's sound doesn't offer much variation on the formula developed by Schenker's former band, UFO, it hardly matters -- the guitar playing is killer, as always. Schenker's fluid technical facility and impeccable tone maintain top billing throughout. Capable singer Gary Barden also helps to distinguish tracks like 'On and On' and 'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie' with memorable melodies, while predictably, standard fare such as 'Are You Ready to Rock' doesn't deliver many surprises. Also features a bizarre cameo from Stephen Stills." - Andy Hinds, allmusic.com
