Michael Schenker, whose upcoming album of UFO songs features a rare new vocal from Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, has revealed that Rose actually sang three songs during the recording sessions.

In an interview with the Appetite For Disortion podcast, Shenker reveals that when Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash recorded his contributions to the My Years With UFO album in Frankfurt – soloing on a version of the 1977 classic Mother Mary – he told producer Michael Voss that he’d talked to Rose about the project, and that the singer was keen to be part of it.
