McAuley-Schenker Group was a band featuring core members Robin McAuley (vocals) and Michael Schenker (guitar), a successor to Schenker's earlier Michael Schenker Group. The group released several albums before disbanding. Their first album Perfect Timing was released in 1987, and included their first hit "Gimme Your Love". Two years later, Save Yourself was released, giving this incarnation of MSG its biggest hit with the power ballad "Anytime". M.S.G. followed in 1992 and Unplugged - Live came out in 1993.

A; In terms of the Glam Metal style, this is as good as it gets. And it gets damn good.

Here we have a hidden masterpiece of glam metal (if such a genre could ever be described with such legit terms). It pretty much follows the eighties glam-metal style, with the song structure and solos, but with some great twists and turns that make the music far more interesting than you'd expect from the less than artistic style. How many glam bands have this many modulations in one album? Virtually none. The album has some of the best melodies, riffs, layering of parts, and the epic arena sized sound and anthem-atic choruses that makes glam-metal likable to its fans. Whatever it is that makes more commercial music like this amazing, this album has it all. It's really the only eighties glam metal album I think I could ever give a full five stars, and I've heard more than my far share. Nightmare, the closing piece, is without a doubt in the top ten tracks to ever be released in the nineties, and it's a real shame that it's as undervalued and under-appreciated as it is.

Seriously, check it album out, especially if you dig the eighties metal style. This is a classically trained musician writing this review, and my scrutinous ears find little to complain.

The final album of the duet Robin McAuley and Michael Schenker which was released in 1992 was the first MSG album I heard and eventually became my most favorite MSG release throughout his entire career. This is an album that was packed with lots of commercial edged melodic rock, powerful ballads, huge harmonic background chants, and thrilling solos, not to forget that Jeff Pilson and James Kottak were also strengthening this magical line-up.

"Eve" rolled like an assaulting fireball shot out from Schenker's Gibson Flying-V and sparked to the sky with its monstrous chorus. "This Broken Heart" pumped up the tempo to the dancy shaky chorus. I also love the giant melodic lines in their ballads, "When I'm Gone", "We Believe In Love", and "This Night Is Gonna Last Forever". "What Happens To Me" should have been a wonderful Scorpions track. MSG smartly put the acoustical haunting "Nightmare" at the last, cooled off the heat and fades away the album at the maximum pleasure.

This record is clearly a winner to all melodic hearts, and as they have written the lyric "love like this will never come again", that's what really happened to me with MSG. Nothing from his old and new catalogue could have ever top this one, a great buy!
