• REVIEW FROM METAL MAIDENS
  
  SCHUGAR/SCHENKER-Construction (independent)
  
  AMY SCHUGAR teamed up with MICHAEL SCHENKER and this is the result of their hard work together. If you’re a fan of wild guitar playing and good melodic rock songs, then this one is definitely something for you. AMY SCHUGAR is a guitarplayer, singer, songwriter from Arizona, and on this CD she shows that she has the ability to write good rock songs. Songs that stick to your mind real easy, and the great guitarwork of Michael and Amy herself, make this CD to something really special. Finally Michael is away from the average riffs he constantly repeats on his new solo albums. Here he gets the chance to impress the listener again with some ultra fast soloing, which was his trademark for many years. Amy’s voice is clear, and they fit really well together with the melodic rock songs on this thirty minute CD. Every reader of any other magazine will be probably interested in Michaels input mostly. But I can tell you that this lady is definitely worth checking out. Okay, MICHAEL SCHENKER has got the name, for his impressive career so far. But AMY SCHUGAR is HOT too, and prove of that is given on this eight song CD, she has completed. It seems, the cooperation between Amy and Michael ended after this release, but nobody can take away this great experience. I think it will be time to write some new material for a solo album of this talented lady, who impressed me a lot. Not only for her guitar playing, singing and her song writing. But also for the fact that she seems to be accepted in the hard world of guitarplayers, that is normally only granted to male string pullers. Amy pulls the strings herself, and she’s damn good at it. Better check her out at http://www.amyschugar.com or wait for the interview, that we are about to do with this multi-talented lady. [8 points] (Toine van Poorten)
