Group. The last solid album he put out had him smashing the back window of a Mercedes with his Flying V on the cover; I forget the name. He took a break of a couple of years, got a permanent singer in the form of Robin McCauley, and renamed the band to the McCauley-Schenker Group. Notice the same initials, but higher billing for the singer. Two albums have been put out under that name, one very recently (like in the last couple of months). Both are very watery commercial rock, which upsets me since Michael has got too much talent to be in that field. But then money makes the business, I suppose. I also forgot to mention that he got another guitarist in the band, Mitch Perry of Talas fame. The two styles are completely different, and I have to say I much prefer Michael's approach to the instrument. By-tor
