inakustik previously announced the December 3rd European release of Temple Of Rock: Live In Europe. This essential live rock’n’roll release includes songs performed live in Tilburg, The Netherlands in May 2012, and at London’s High Voltage Festival in 2011.

Check out a preview clip below:

Schenker sees his music as a building block in the construction of the Temple Of Rock. "The Temple is almost finished," explains Michael. “The foundation was laid in the 60s by LED ZEPPELIN, DEEP PURPLE and BLACK SABBATH. The walls were then built by UFO and others in the 70s. By the 80s it was further reinforced by the likes of the SCORPIONS, and many more influential rock bands.”

The Tilburg gig, recorded May 2012, features Schenker (lead guitar), Doogie White (vocals), Herman Rarebell (drums), Francis Buchholz (bass) and Wayne Findley (rhythm guitar, keyboards). London's 2011 High Voltage Festival features Michael Voss (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions) who plays rhythm guitar on 'Rock You Like a Hurricane', 'Hanging On' and 'Doctor Doctor', UFO’s Pete Way who plays bass guitar on 'Doctor Doctor', and vocalists Jeff Scott Soto (ex-JOURNEY) and Doogie White, who both sing on 'Doctor Doctor'.

Schenker has also announced a very special opportunity to his fans via a Personal VIP package which will include an unreleased - never heard before - CD which features a recording made in 1979. Schenker plays guitar and bass on all tracks, he even sings on some of the tracks.

“It’s a 14 track demo I wrote and recorded by myself in the Dieter Dirks’ (Scorpions producer) mobile studio whilst RORY GALLAGHER and the Scorpions were recording next door.

It was going to be material for my first solo album. There’s some instrumentals and I even sing on a few. Ringo Funk helped out by playing drums on some tracks. He was the drummer in a famous German Band at the time called ATLANTIS.

I recorded this after I left the Scorpions Lovedrive Tour in ‘79. Some of this material I rehearsed later with Joey Kramer and Tom Hamilton from AEROSMITH. Some of it I rehearsed with Gary Barden, Billy Sheehan (bass from MR. BIG) and Denny Carmassi (drums from MONTROSE).”

As part of this, very personal package, a once in a lifetime chance to have your name printed on Michael's new guitar model is also available. This is strictly limited to 1000 names. Michael Schenker’s new Dean Signature model and will be available to purchase once created. This has not been done before and will never be repeated again.
