Michael Schenker, former guitarist of UFO and Scorpions, now active in the band Michael Schenker Group, has just released his second single “Rock bottom” from his upcoming album “My Years with UFO”. The song features Kai Hansen on vocals, Derek Sherinian on keys, Brian Tichy on drums and Barry Sparks on bass.
Even though Michael Schenker was part of the English rock band UFO for just about six years, this new upcoming album is a tribute to those years. The album marks the 50th anniversary of Michael Schenker’s era with UFO (1972-1978).
The new album will feature guest artists such as Axl Rose, Slash, Kai Hansen, Roger Glover, Joey Tempest, Biff Byford, Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum, Dee Snider, Joel Hoekstra, Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Adrian Vandenberg, Michael Voss, Stephen Pearcy and Erik Grönwall.
