MICHAEL SCHENKER - New Album

MICHAEL SCHENKER - New Album With Former SCORPIONS Members Due In November; Title Revealed




Michael Schenker's TEMPLE OF ROCK, featuring Doogie White (ex-RAINBOW,
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Herman Rarebell (ex-SCORPIONS), Francis Buchholz
(ex-Scorpions) and Wayne Findlay (MSG), are currently in the studio
recording a new album, titled Bridge The Gap, to be released in
November.





In a recent interview with Anthony Morgan at Metal Forces, Michael
Schenker, discussed the forthcoming new album, stating: “We are actually
already starting a new album which will be released by the end of 2013,
so hopefully we will have something ready to perform on the next tour
which starts in April. Everybody is putting their things together. I’m
putting my things together, putting down my guitars. Basically from that
moment on, it goes pretty quick. It’s with Doogie White, with that
line-up. Doogie White, Herman Rarebell, Francis Buchholz, Wayne Findlay,
and myself. It’s the same lineup as Tilburg.”


Temple Of Rock’s successor will inevitably adhere to a signature
style. “It’s Michael Schenker,” the mainman laughs. “I’m being myself.
When I write music, it’s Michael Schenker music because I’m creating on a
whim. I don’t look around, and say ‘Oh, what shall I do today?’ I just
express myself, and so what comes out is what comes out. I don’t have a
description for that other than it’s what I do. It’s basically as much
as possible pure self-expression. That’s what people tell me, that they
can recognise my style. I wouldn’t know because I’m too deep in it, so… I
don’t look at it that way anyway, but just based on what people say
that’s what’s happening. I think when people focus on what’s within
themselves – in other words, when people express themselves rather than
trying to play something that somebody else has already expressed –
automatically they will become original, because only you can express
what’s inside you. You see what I mean? It’s natural that you’ll be very
recognisable, because you’re the only one who does it.”
