\"MichaelMichael Schenker\u2019s Temple of Rock made a special stop in Las Vegas at Vamp\u2019d on April 7. The band is currently on tour in support of their latest release Spirit On A Mission<\/em>. The band hit the stage at 10:30 p.m. for an explosive set of rock that spanned the guitar virtuoso\u2019s extensive career. Opening with \u201cLove Drive\u201d then launching into \u201cLights Out,\u201d Michael and company were ready to tear off the roof.<\/p>\n

All eyes were on the fast fingers pyrotechnic guitar riffs that exploded from Michael Schenker\u2019s flying V. Singer Doogie White has an amazing vocal range that meshes so well with distinctive Schenker guitar sound. It takes an amazing singer to keep up with Michael, and Doogie gets the job done well. The singer commented that there were 3 live Scorpions in the house. Referring to bassist Francis Buchholz, drummer Herman Rarebell, and Michael Schenker. Wayne Findlay was on keyboards and guitar. So it was only fitting that the band played some Scorpion tunes.<\/p>\n

\"MichaelMichael Schenker\u2019s Temple of Rock also performed a new song \u201cVigilante Man\u201d from their latest release from Spirit On A Mission<\/em>. The song has that special Scorpion touch.<\/p>\n

Other highlights included \u201cOnly You Can Rock Me\u201d and the haunting \u201cBefore The Devil Knows You\u2019re Dead.\u201d Which Doogie commented was written for Ronnie James Dio and was the first song that the band had written together.<\/p>\n

The encores were fast and furious including \u201cRock You Like A Hurricane\u201d and \u201cRock Bottom.\u201d Michael Schenker\u2019s Temple Of Rock has a huge arena sound. It was so exhilarating watching this guitar virtuoso-shredding hit after hit. Be sure to catch the band on tour!<\/p>\n
