ASSAULT ATTACK/ROCK WILL NEVER DIE was originally released as two seperate LPs.

This compilation pairs Michael Schenker's lackluster third album, Assault Attack -- his only collaboration with former Rainbow frontman Graham Bonnett -- with an even less inspired live album, Rock Will Never Die. Convenient yes, but still mostly unnecessary. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

1982 and 1984 LP's from Schenker and the final two of the recent BGO releases. Rock Will Never Die was recorded live at Hammersmith and featured Gary Barden on vocals.

Personnel: Michael Schenker (guitar); Graham Bonnet (vocals); Tommy Eyre (keyboards); Chris Glen (bass guitar); Ted McKenna (drums).

Liner Note Author: Malcolm Dome.

Recording information: Hammersmith, London, England (10/22/1983/10/23/1983); Le Chàteau, France (10/22/1983/10/23/1983).

Photographers: Justin Thomas; Brian Aris; Fin Costello.

Customer Assault Attack/Rock Will Never Die Reviews 




Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Schenker's Attack
A good option for a Michael Schenker's fan: a live album and the album with Graham Bonnet's on vocals. Former Rainbow's front man (and not only Rainbow's) provides a powerful impetus to the music. He is certainly a great singer. I would buy this CD just because of him but the above statement does not mean that the contents of the two recordings are mediocre, on the contrary "Assault Attack" is one of the best Schenker's album. The live concert addition is also inspiring. Highly recommended. Andre Sokolnikov

4 stars Schenker survives and endures band turmoil
2 eras of MSG are showcased in one product. Assault Attack was a great follow up to the classic "MSG" that featured the band's all time best line up. With Barden and Cozy's departures all MSG fans were apprehensive about the next studio release. Fortunately AA didn't disappoint the majority of fans (except the female ones who lusted after Gary Barden). Musically this is album delivers what you would expect from Schenker and the aggressive power and confirmation of the band's lifeblood on the opening track reminds me of the feeling I had the first time I listened to the title track from AC/DC's Back in Black. The only exception to this praise is the nauseatingly commercial "dancer" which at least has a good Schenker solo. Ted McKenna's drumming can't replace Cozy Powell's dominant magic but he does an inspiring job combining power and creativity. Graham Bonnet's vocals are impressive and great listening. Too bad his poncey prima donna attitudes surfaced so quickly on the ensuing tour leading to his firing and the return of Barden to the MSG fold, which brings us to: Second half Rock Will Never Die. Simply put, the material is musically great. Good mix of classic and the more recent numbers. Unfortunately by then Barden sounds like his vocal cords must have been used to clean the floors of the Odeon Hammersmith after he abused them to no end. If only the album could be done with his old voice dubbed over the sad shadow of itself.

All songs written by Michael Schenker & Gary Barden, except "Into The Arena" (Schenker), "Never Trust A Stranger" (Paul Raymond), "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" (Schenker/Barden/Glen/Raymond/Powell), and "Doctor Doctor" (Schenker/Mogg). The question on the minds of most Michael Schenker fans is usually this -- when will he ever finally get his due? Apparently, the German axeman is practically the Rodney Dangerfield of metal. He's somehow managed to anchor two of the most important bands in the lineage of the genre and influence everyone from Metallica to Powerman 5000, and yet, while he continues have a rabid fan base writhing away in the shadows and is still widely recognized in countries like Japan where technical prowess is highly prized, he remains relatively unknown to American ...

Last Boat
Brent Arnold Last Boat CD  (2004)

Assault Attack/Rock Will Never Die album
CD $10.59  Audio Samples
Brent Arnold leads a bit of a musical double life. He splits his time between playing cello and creating lush arrangements for Northwestern indie rockers like Modest Mouse, Mike Johnson, and Sleater-Kinney and playing with avant jazzers like Andrew Drury and Eyvind Kang. On his first album under his own name, he has chosen the former path. Last Boat is a intricately arranged, emotionally charged indie rock record that nimbly straddles the line between Northwest moroseness and chamber pop good cheer. Arnold has a simple, unprepossessing voice that hovers below the intertwining guitars and sawing strings. The band he has assembled is suitably restrained, and their vocal harmonies abet Arnold's cause winningly. The best tracks on the record, like the heartbroken "I ...

Assault Attack/Rock Will Never Die CD music
CD $25.69
Recorded in New York, New York on April 20, 1939 and March 25, April 1 & April 8, 1944. Includes liner notes by Stuart Nicholson. Recorded in New York, New York between 1939 & 1944. Includes liner notes by J.G. Calvados. This double-disc issued by Jazz Factory almost completely mirrors the United States issue of the same material entitled THE COMPLETE COMMODORE RECORDINGS, officially issued by Universal in 1997. The material was recorded in 1939 and 1944 by producer Milt Gabler. The original 78 that was "Strange Fruit" b/w "Fine and Mellow," was released by Gabler because Columbia's John Hammond refused to record the song. Holiday was under contract to the label at the time, but Hammond loosed the reins a bit and allowed her the leeway to cut it for Commodore. There are two other sides cut in 1939, and the remainder of these tunes were taped during ...
