Schenker released My Years With UFO last September. The star-studded LP features re-recorded versions of songs from the guitarist’s brief but significant tenure with the band, which yielded classics such as “Lights Out” “Too Hot to Handle,” “Doctor Doctor” and “Rock Bottom.”
Guests on the album include Dee Snider, Joe Lynn Turner, Slash and Axl Rose. Schenker didn’t even have to invite the elusive Guns N’ Roses frontman, whose vocals can be heard on “Love to Love.”
“When Slash came to the recording studio in Frankfurt to record with me, he said, ‘Oh, I told Axl I’m coming here today to do this with you,'” Schenker told UCR. “And Axl said, ‘Oh, can I sing a song?’ So I said, ‘Oh, really? Ask Axl which song he wants to sing.'”
