While a very different supporting cast joins Michael Schenker on Unforgiven, this 1999 collection of hard-rocking numbers and swirling guitar solos echoes the return to classic M.S.G. form first accomplished on 1996's Written in the Sand. As the guitarist proved decades ago, there's no mystical chemistry, no mysteriously unifying combination of talents necessary for Schenker to kick out the old-school heavy metal jams with verve and style. Great songwriting? Well, that's another story, but Schenker's appeal was always his energetic guitar performances and rich tone -- of which there is plenty of on Unforgiven. Highlights include the old-time metal riffing on "Fat City N.O." and "Pilot of Your Soul," but there's plenty more where these satisfying throwbacks came from, as each number confidently delivers on the promise of Schenker's talent. Ex-Baton Rouge vocalist Kelly Keeling maintains a strong presence with his Coverdale growling that while excessive, manages to stay out of Schenker's way. The two make a good pair, confident, stylized and unapologetically grounded in their '80s roots. Anyone who is at all inclined to buy traditional metal discs from the masters 20 years removed from their best work should consider Unforgiven, a satisfyingly nostalgic and muscular recording. ~ Vincent Jeffries

Unforgiven Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Simply Amazing!
Absolutely dark and haunting, just as one should have expected from an album of this title. The "not-so- clean" mix may not appeal to some, but I liked the garage band-y feel that it gave the album. Michael's guitar work, both acoustic and electric, is incredible. He never ceases to amaze me with his versatility.

 THIS IS NOT REAL M.S.
Ý've bought this cd with great expectations as a M.S. fan for i don't know how many years, but this cd is really bad, vocals are so weak, guitar work is poor and also the mixing is disturbing, ý can't really hear the guitar lines so clearly.
M.S. is no doubt one of the best guitarists but this cd must be an exception

Good CD and great playing!
A bit more moody and dark than "Written In Sand" with more gritty vocals. I do like this CD and there are some really good songs here. Kelly Keeling does a good job as vocalist here but I'm not sure if he is the best choice Schenker could have for a front man. Schenker produces a fine piece of work with killer riffs and cool changes that keep it interesting. He has such a cool way to make things sound unique but never really straying too from what has made him a rock legend and a great talent. With Shane Gaalaas on drums - look out! Man is this guy good!!

Purchase Unforgiven CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Vinnie Moore Maze CD (1999)
Unforgiven album
 $13.85 
1999's Maze not only represents Vinnie Moore's return to his neo-classical shred roots, it also marks the guitarist's Shrapnel Records homecoming. It had been over a decade since Moore released his surprisingly successful debut for the label that essentially defined the rock guitar virtuoso genre. After spending years trying to shed the neo-classical tag and developing a Satriani-esque phrasing ability/tonal vocabulary, ...

Unquestionably the best offering from New York's Riot, Fire Down Under is considered by many to be an early-'80s metal classic. After two marginally successful LPs, 1977's Rock City and 1979's Narita, bandleader Mark Reale worked out all the kinks in Riot's membership and musical delivery, ...
| | Michael Schenker Be Aware Of Scorpions CD (2001)
Unforgiven album
$10.69
This spirited, crunchy guitar-driven party is certainly wild enough, but there's a very dated corporate rock feeling, as if guitarist Schenker and vocalist Chris Logan swiped a few outtakes from some old Journey or Bad English sessions. Appealing, sure, but hardly something new. Neal Schon would have a great ...

This project was first commissioned by an educational publisher with the intention of being "An instrumental album of original songs with world styles for the creative learning environment". Blair Ashby and John Bickham decided to take the project a little further and try to write songs as attractive to the teachers as to the students. We used rhythms and styles from Brazil, Cuba, Japan, France, Germany, Ghana and the Lakota Nation to augment Jazz, New Age and Easy Listening formats creating a mix of familiar but exotic songs. Additionally, we used instruments from 84 nations or cultures around the globe to try to show the universality of music and it's ability to transcend international boundaries.Each song has a story or theme behind it:Paper Samba - Blair was taking Samba lessons and he needed a samba song slow enough to learn to. Thus, Paper Samba was born, kind of a diet samba or samba lite. Raku - Written about a group of people who get together to make pottery and talk. Harvest ...
