  • Nice Post' reminds me of H.S. wicked drummer and vocals and of course guitar!

  • Nice Rick!! Thanks for posting this. It reminded me of old UFO stuff. I guess I'm getting old....p.s. Buddy Rich was the greatest of all  :)

  • You're welcome. I'm right there with you on the age thing but one advantage we have is that we lived this stuff as it happened. There is no substitute to what we experienced! We were extremely fortunate to grow up when we did! Speaking of Buddy Rich, he's from the previous generation, which is not to discount that he is one of the great influential players. He would be on the "Mount Rushmore" of drummers! Phillips played in his Dad's Jazz/Big band/Dixieland band at the tender age of 12!

  • I love Michael Schenker, but Randy just took it to a whole new level in 1980.

  • @GameJourney Schenker was a huge influence on Randy and most other rock guitarists at that time-including Van Halen

  • @GOPkicksbutt I know.

  • JUST my opinion but i think this could have gone to numder 1 in a different time---90s maybe??????

  • All this great music off his first album..Yeah i was disappionted when he left UFO..But to leave and write all these tunes..Armed and ready, Cry for the nations, Into the arena! UFO, you made a terrible mistake..

    ......Pure high octane guitar ..Thank you Mr Schenker!

  • love the drumm but the cover from PhilX Rocks more :D

  • @Konascrapuser Fuckin' eh man!

  • I may like it a bit more metallish but this is party song no. 1 !!

  • Speed, taste, and style!!!!

  • Amazing tune!! Made my day, incredible playing!!

  • Michael Schenker was playing melodic guitar way back in the day slow & fast w/a vibrato that was slow & wide. I started playing guitar back in high school in the mid 70's. I was listening to Hendrix, Winter & Blackmore. I came home late one Saturday night, turned the tv on & WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! UFO were doing rock bottom on in concert. I have been a Michael Schenker fan every since. I have seen him twice & he played his heart out. I will always listen to Michael.

  • Some would argue Cozy Powell is a powerhouse in his own right. I would point out Philips played in PH.D short lived, but spawned the original TESLA cover song Little Suzi with original spelling (can't recall here)

  • Great funky song that's grown on me over the years. Soulful too.

  • Killer song, killer band, kliier video thanks bro

  • You're welcome. One of the best guitarists ever and the best drummer of all time!

  • @rickyon I'dd say other way around lol, fuckin good shit though bro! thumbs up!

  • A matter of opinion and yours is close enough for my taste!

  • Great video & song, Rick!

    Thanks!

  • You're welcome Gina! We used to play this song in my band Arsen. My all time favorite drummer Simon Phillips is doing the duties on this album!

  • Incredible song and unbelievable photos of Michael. I love the first one!!!!! There was a local 80's Baltimore band called Mannekin who used to play this. Aahhh, good times.

  • I saw those guys several times and remember being blown away! There is one or two vids of them here on you-tube.

  • fucking great heavy rock track!!!!!!!
