Michael Schenker On A Mission With New Album

(Classic Rock) Michael Schenker says he named Temple Of Rock's upcoming album Spirit On A Mission because he wants to spread the "joy of music." He revealed the meaning behind the title during a question and answer session at the Hard Rock Cafe, Paris.

He says: "I've stayed away from listening to music for over 40 years now. And so I see myself as a spirit on a mission, spreading the joy of music from a place of pure self expression. So when it was time to come up with a title, I thought, 'Why not Spirit On A Mission? It would be a good title.' So that's how it ended up that way."

And he says the goal of the album featuring bassist Francis Buchholz, drummer Herman Rarebell, frontman Doogie White and keyboardist/guitarist Wayne Findlay, was to fill it full of "energetic" tracks mixed with a 70's vibe.

He continues: "Basically, what's happening is my filing system in my head has gone all the way back to when I was in late teens. I wanted to have fast, energetic songs with melody in the vocals, but keep it going and very, very fast." Read more and stream the press conference here.
