I was lucky to see UFO on the no place to run tour, Paul was so good, reminded me of Mick jones, really melodic, deep tones and a quiet craftsman, I hope he doesn't go the way of many, boozer up and lost, he deserves better!...Rock On!
Get UFO's-No Place To Run, CD. It's produced by Sir George Martin (the 5th Beatle). Paul plays some sweet licks on that album, and every song is great. A very underrated record.
check out their my space...paul chapman project... most of the band is from chicago, and those guys are in local bands,,, go check them out... they rock..especially madhatter
There should CERTAINLY be more recent Paul Chapman on YT if this is a year old and I've been neglecting it. UFO is headed to my home town in October 2009!!!
I love UFO in the classic Schenker lineup, but now after 27 years I must say that TWTWATI is one of the best rock album ever. Solid, compact, melodic, hard etc. Phil is absolutely brilliant as well as Tonka. Superb masterpiece!
Mr.Chapman should take some lessons from Schenker on how to achieve guitar tone. That sounds bad. I can get a much tone out of my R8>Boss GE-10>old TS-9 into a 10 watt Hiwatt amp.
Schenker has often said tone and feedback from his backline is what inspires and drives him. I've not heard Chapman comment on his sound, but I've never been turned off by it, each player has his own sound, and I think Chapman filled the vacancy with ease
Tonka is a great guitarist...I saw UFO many times during the 70's & 80's and he's just as good as Schenker (who could be terrible if he'd drunk too much). I've often wondered about the 'thanks' on the Strangers In The Night lp...did he do some overdubs? er...yes!
Chapman played with UFO and Schenker in the mid 1970s, between the Lonestar stuff I believe, not sure about that Chicago gig, but it is spliced from probably three different performances
Tonka rocks!! I mean hes just dicking around here and blows most players out of the water. I feel bad for music lovers who havent heard of UFO one of the most underrated bands ever well only in commercial circles.Many of big name groups have listed UFO as huge influences and there is a reason for that! The Chapman era of UFO was brilliant as was Schenkers and now Vinnie! Great stuff
drummer broke all his skins and they were replacing them at the time

How is he as a teacher. I got a lesson with him this weekend. Seems like he knows his shit but a little sloppy.

Schenker and Chapman are on somewhat equal footing in the respect department, few people really pick sides, they appreciate both, as I do!

You'll never educate the Kylie, Girls Aloud & Robbie Williams fans, mate. The music of UFO is for us folk who know quality music when we hear it.
