I always thought Schenker and Dave together would make for some interesting music if they worked together.

Pretty good cover . Michael Schenker is one of the ultimate real rock guitarist . I absolutely love UFO ! His brief stint in his brothers band Scorpions produced their best album " Lovedrive " in 1978 .
I got to meet Michael Schenker at a UFO reunion show in about '95 or so . It was at a sold out night club show ( Mississippi Nights - R.I.P.) here in St. Louis . Nice guy at the meet-n-greet but he was traveling separately from the rest of the band in his own bus . He had another one of his infamous meltdowns shortly thereafter and , once again , UFO was history .
I recently saw some Michael Schenker /RATT live videos on YouTube . Pretty cool stuff !

I have to say that sounded like shit, some songs just cant be covered.

Its nice to see another artist give it a shot though.

Why not? Van Halen did...

John Brim is the original writer/performer.

[Diamondjimi]

You are correct Sir !

[GAR]

no SHIT

well dave had enough sense to know the song sounded good though, every cover he did and put to vinyl was better than the original. this song just lacks zing, theres no zing to it.

True, but hearing Schenker rip on this is it's saving grace. That MF'r can groove like no one else, imo!

I recently saw them both live. Even better.

Interesting take but it doesn't really play to Schenker's strengths...

[GAR]

.. did you think he'd play happy all over it, knowing that while he's recording he's thinking "I'm covering a tune Van Halen made prominent.. every day on American airwaves, so many hundreds of times a day this song is played but none of mine are, and I came before Eddie."

Of course he's not going to get sick on this tune. He kinda opens up around 2:30 but that seems the best hes gonna do.

[Big Troubles]

sounds good. sounds better than a recent youtube clip i seen from a few yrs back.

The singer is doing gibberish on "stop me when I'm passing by." And since that happens about ten times that qualifies as total lameness. Schenker is great, of course.
