You can tell how much fun Vinnie is having playing with those guys. His grin is huge! You know Vinnie grew up wearing out his UFO records trying to learn those songs. The whole band looks like they are having fun! I would much rather see these guys in a small club than a big arena. And they are dong what they love night in and night out!
i saw them in 2009 and 2011 at MCGUFFEYS HOUSE OF ROCK in DAYTON, OHIO and they ROCKED BOTH TIMES! it would be nice to see them in a bigger place with a few other bands of their era, but you got to take what you get. they still seem to enjoy it and the crowd gets off so that's all matters. UFO FOREVER!
vinnie moore is better as a solo act ,he plays too fast,imnot putting ths guy down because hes a badd ass guitarist,but im just used to the ufo with micheal schenker in the band,and that kind of style
I know everyone ages differently, but Phil Mogg looks beat. Always thought he was an under-rated singer though. Wrote some GREAT songs back in the day.
Gee Whilikers.... I forgot to tell you all.. That being in a band, is like being married to 5 people at one time... OK I still want to say something to barbara from 1978.......
Vinnie is a very good guitarist, he IS NOT Michael Schenker, Schenker is light years superior- 'nuff said. Besides, he's basically playing the solo as originally recorded, not much added or subtracted- his tone is marginal at best- it is clean though.
when i seen them for the first time with moore it was good but i saw schenker live on his own a wee while later and he blew me away on every track (he was sober) search for the schenker rock bottom in dublin video.. amazing.. haha i am in it too lol..
moore is a better guitar player than I am....but I don't want to hear the major and mixolydian scales in lock step during a schencker solo....tone it down and play with mojo....dump the scalar approach
Oh, this is 2 steps lower than it was originally recorded. Well, Phil still sounds good. Saw UFO and Thin Lizzy on a double bill in '82. One of the best rock shows I've ever seen and I've been to more than I can count.
All I'm saying is, UFO just took everybody by storm. I came because I was A TS fan, I left a UFO fan. TS (COAP tour) wasn't exactly their best tour - actually, they didn't tour after that? I wonder why?
I tip my hat to UFO, they're a fantastic live act, very pro... I'd go see 'em anytime. But hey, it's all Rock'N'Roll :-)
tgrules565, Twisted Sister do stink live, and here's why I think they do.
When I saw them, they had two guitar players standing behind a curtain, playing through out the concert - it wasn't Eddie and Jay Jay playing.
Second, all through the tour (Come out and play tour), TS had pissed off fans, fights broke out at nearly every concert, because of their bad live performance, and Dees behaviour.
Third, UFO kept getting called in for more encores. I love TS (on album) no doubt about that ..
I saw UFO on their Misdemeanor tour, they were support for Twisted Sister. UFO kept coming back on stage for extras, they blew Twisted Sister to hell .. TS stinks live ... But UFO, they can come by DK anytime and I'll be there ... Luv 'em ..
Twisted sister don't 'stink' live, they're one of the best live acts out there, UFO just happened to be better that night. Just because UFO put on s better show (they would tbh because they're great) does not make TS a bad live act.
Saw UFO in Redondo Beach just a few weeks ago...one of the best jam-sessions in rock-n-roll I've witnessed after 20 years of concerts! This song is just as legendary as the legendary ZEP!
Well, Phil's known to clown around on stage alot during extended solos, even back during the Schenker days. I read once he crawled around on a fog filled stage, popping his head up every once in a while on different sides of the stage :D
I grew up with Schenker and think he's awesome, but nothing disrespectful should even be mentioned about this guitarist. First of all, he seems to be a kick ass guitar player, hitting every note perfectly and secondly every time I see the guy, he's smiling and having fun. Points at the camera guy and smiles. And I really doubt that Vinnine Moore would have anything negative to say about Michael Schenker, I'm sure he has tons of respect for MS.
@Paloozaz Well spoken, it's just music, like when different ball player hang after the game, it's not that serious bro ;-)! And being a huge Schenker fan...Mr. Moore is different and every bit as good a player in his own right! I would say he's actually a bit technically better than Schenker and Michael has a huge edge in "blues feel and technique" it's just a matter of taste folks!
all this talk about comparisons of guitarists ..... this band is about MOGG !!! truly one of the all time greats ..... if he started to suck there would be no point in UFO continuing no matter who played guitar. Mogg , the best of his generation still working in rock .
I like how Vinnie plays the tracks almost exactly like Schenker did. He even gets the little "chink a chink chink" palm mute down pat, which actually makes the song. Still don't think his vibrato is on the same level as Schenker, but he's a faster and more fluid player, for sure. I am looking forward to the new UFO CD hopefully early 2009. Hopefully it has a few more melodic rockers than Monkey Puzzle did.

I'm sure Vinnie played that in his bedroom like the rest of us, and here he is on stage with them. Too cool. I can tell he played that solo a few times in his bedroom too. Probably wore out that tape trying to learn Michaels licks to amaze his friends.

Dude, I saw them at Tangiers in Akron Ohio just last week and man they kicked ASS!!! They rocked the house and no joke chicks were dancin on the tables!!! Memorable and I will see them again no doubt!!
