Michael Schenker reveals that Axl Rose sang three songs during sessions for his upcoming album My Years In UFO

Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, who is featured on Michael Schenker’s next album of UFO songs, has stated that Rose actually sung three songs during the recording sessions.

Shenker tells producer Michael Voss that after speaking with Rose about the project, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash told him that the singer was eager to be involved when he recorded his contributions to the My Years With UFO album in Frankfurt, where he soloed on the 1977 classic Mother Mary.

I said to Slash, ‘That would be fantastic. Ask Axl which song he would like to do,'” says Schenker. “And so actually Axl ended up singing Too Hot To Handle, Only You Can Rock Me and Love To Love. But I think they also were on tour at the time, and so Axl was not actually happy with his performance on Only You Can Rock Me and Too Hot To Handle.
And I guess it was too many songs, because they were in the middle of a tour, and he preferred to just focus on Love To Love. And he is a perfectionist, I have noticed, and so we waited until he was ready, and then finally he went, ‘Okay, Love To Love‘ I approve. You can release it. And that was it.”
