Throughout classes for the album recorded in Frankfurt in 2023, Rose agreed to check out three UFO songs to see how they labored out. He picked Too Scorching To Deal with and Love To Love from the Lights Out album, and Solely You Can Rock Me from the next yr’s Obsession.
“Axl is a perfectionist,” Schenker advised Basic Rock earlier this yr. “He places all the things underneath the microscope. He was not blissful together with his efficiency on Too Scorching To Deal with and Solely You Can Rock Me, however he did such a terrific model of Love To Love.”
“He would return into the studio and do one thing else: ‘It’s not proper but, it’s not proper but!’ We waited and waited, and ultimately he bought it. It’s a very good track for Axl to sing.”
My Years With UFO was produced by Schenker and Michael Voss, with the band line-up accomplished by Derek Sherinian on keyboards, Barry Sparks on bass, and Brian Tichy on drums. Different musicians guesting on the album embrace Rose’s GN’R bandmate Slash, former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, Joe Lynn Turner, Saxon’s Biff Byford and ex-H.e.a.t./Skid Row frontman Erik Grönwall.
