Michael Schenker has been a massive influence to countless rock and metal guitar players alike for well over 40 years at this point, including Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett. Hammett has now just had a dream come true however with the former UFO and Scorpions guitarist giving him a guest spot on a brand new song of his, "Heart and Soul" which will be on his upcoming record Resurrection.
This new song is pretty heavy, intense, and loud, just the way a Michael Schenker song should be. Has some great vocal harmonies. The part I'm sure you're all interested in though is what part Kirk fits into in all this. In the solo section, Schenker and Hammett actually square off against one another in a one on one guitar duel. Each of them trade blistering licks back and forth like no one's business till it builds to a crescendo and leads back into the next part of the song.
Resurrection will be out on the second of March and will feature guest spots from a vast multitude of artists he has worked with in the past including: Robin McAuley, Graham Bonnet, Gary Barden, Doogie White, and more.
This record sounds like it is stacking up to be a special one indeed. It's like a big family reunion for Schenker. Would be cool if he had the members of UFO who were in the band when he was joining him on a track or two, but I kind of doubt that will ever happen again.
