CD Reviews
AN OVERLOOKED MASTER
Michael Gulley | 03/24/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Michael Schenker is one of the most talented guitarists of the genre. Unfortunately, he is often overlooked for more commercial players such as Eddie Van Halen. One listen to this CD will vindicate Michael, and show where EVH learned a few of his licks. Tasteful solos, melodic but ferocious rhythms, and attitude to spare. Schenker shone brightly at a time when few cared. His influence is all around. Learn from the master - buy this CD."
Someone Screwed this mix up.

"This is a revamped version of the original release from '83. It is slicker, but that's it. They cut short some of the guitar solos. The best example is Red Sky, which was called "Red Sky at Night" on the Chrysalis release. This was one of my favorite Schenker songs, but when I listened to it I could'nt believe how it was butchered. This BGO version just doesn't sound like the original at all. Skip this one and find the original."
Great music but beware of this version

"This is a great album that I have loved for years but watch out! If you are expecting this Beat Goes On release to be a CD version of the original European mix, you are in for a letdown. This CD (although it has the same track listing and order as the original mix) has the music as it appeared on the remixed American release (with the slicker versions of some songs and the appearance of the other singer on "Still Love That Little Devil"). I think this version is OK but the original release has a better "edge" to it that makes it a 5 star release. Good luck finding the original though."
Great album

"Another great Schenker album and the last studio album with Gary Barden on vocals. Filled with hard rockin, great guitar riffs, 1 instrumental and 1 ballad. I would rank this as his best album along with the bands freshman debut. Also, any Schenker fans need to check out the NEW UFO disc. A definite ***** rating."
Very good, hard rockin' CD

"I've owned three copies of this casette since it first hit the stores in the early 80's and I still listen to it. Very nice guitar work done by Michael Schenker. He proves his guitar shredding ability on tunes such as the popular "Captain Nemo" and "The Dogs Of War", which happens to be a "killer" tune in it's own right. If you appreciate real good melodic guitar playing and heavy metal the way it should have stayed, with the likes of: Ozzy, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Maiden, and others, then you should really like this CD."
