@LordGandor3 Nothing to say against the wonderful Michael Schenker, but don't forget that Scorpions first replaced him with Uli John Roth, another giant axeman!
Before there was Nikki Sixx, before there was Steve Harris, there was Pete Way. I am not talking about bass playing style, but the look. You can tell he influenced their look. Same with
Jim Dandy Mangrum's look being used by David Lee Roth.
Schenker, Malmsteen, Becker - they're ALL great players! Why can't we just sit back and enjoy the cool tunes, without it turning into a pissing contest? Peace!
супер группа superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@TheMark5656 was Jason Becker even an ache in his old mans shorts when this was filmed? Fuck easy to say that shit but this was 3 decades ago plus...Becker and all the other nimble fingered guitar gods would shudder to hear you say that since MS inspired them and they had 20 years to copy...who the fuck did MS copy? You wanna be famous for sounding unique or just blinding speed...snore...
@TheUliwon Actually, Becker has a gift. Do you ever listen to what he produced at age 17? Hes not all about speed, he has feeling in his music. The fuck do you mean speed? Surely you mean yngwie? And no, Becker did not copy anyone. He is basically a natural virtuoso on the guitar
@TheMark5656 I appreciate what you're saying, my point is was he even alive when this was recorded? therefore why even compare?...everybody is always rating over simply enjoying...and certainly not Yngwie...that man has no soul...I know who Becker is...too bad about his story....I'm familar with him and Marty etc...
The song that hooked me on UFO absolutely love this band!! Glad some dumbass left his force it cassette under his or her car seat very lucky i found it:)
I recently saw Schenker. MY GOD this guy just landed in my top 10 all time greats!!!! Tone Style Stage Presence, and most notably he didn't fuck up but 1 time all night and that was last song! Wisconsin loves Schenker
This was an awesome video...but I've been seeing these pulsating rainbow colored UFO's for over 6 weeks now in St George,Utah..nightly..really strange...has anyone else seen them? You can see the awesome footage I've taken of them by clicking my MoonDawgee channel moniker under this comment box...after you see the video's I've taken,12 video's so far of these UFO's please, tell me if you've ever seen these kind before and where? The truth is out there..I'm just trying to get some answer's.
Blue what, Buck who? Don't even mention it in this section please. I don't want to be forced to hurt anybody. Thank You. By the way, this is UFO, show some respect or get the fuck out.
Great video of one of the greats! I don't know if its listed somewhere, but is this from a DVD that is purchaseable? Are there any full video concerts of this era UFO?
Blue Oyster Cult has about a dozen studio albums, several live albums, worked with such artists as Aldo Nova and Joe Satriani and has been ref, Six Feet Under and so many others it's hard to know them referenced by many social icons such as Stephen King, the Simpsons, 6 Feet Under and so many more that it's hard to know them all. ! stupid ass joke in Police Academy shouldn't stop you from knowing one of the most underrated bands in ALL of music, much like UFO has been disrespected.

When this band came to town, I said I thought that any band with more than 4 was gay or something of the time which meant the same thing. I listen to this and it seems to me as the selfish sole that I am. Noticed that Michael was over shadowed by a piano that made him to me sound what us Americans are today, OVER PROCESSED. Its a natural thing, everyone just let it roll, as intended.
Wow this is great performance....I saw Mishael Schanker few years a go live in Victoria BC.....I could not believe my eyes..i thought to jump on stage and get guitar in my hand and show him how to play this tune.What a disappointment....
I do not know what is wrong with this guy.He plays gig in the front about 200 people....just disappointment ..............
This was one of the best shows i saw UFO do was strangers in the night live in Chicago. We had like 20 ppl go that night and let me tell you, Schenker and the boys just rocked the fuck out of us all night . One hell of a damn show !!
@tempofreak69 .. man i totaly agree, just saw MSG in july outside of boston and he is in great form again!!! when they closed with rock bottom it really was unreal.. michael is the man...
This Is THE REAL DEAL - G.O.G. (God On Guitar) - Less than two years before "Strangers In The Night" was recorded, possibly even the same year, which along with a few other genuine gems, either ties for the number one slot as Best Live Album Ever Made by anyone EVER! There's Sir Schenker, The One and Only True "Mad AxeMan",and There's all the wannabes,who are "Mad Axemen", purely because they can't even remotely compare to his amazing Improvisational genius, and Mastery Of Magical Melody!!!!
@DougRoxxx I have S.I.T.N. and it's the greatest live album i ever heard.Also UFO is my favorite band,thats not the only reason.It sounds like everything went perfect for UFO the night that album was recorded,but i've seen UFO 4 times and they were amazing.One show in Toronto w/Schenker at Massey Hall,they opened for Reo speedwagon.UFO destroyed them,people walked out after their first song.UFOshould be bigger than u2 g'n'r,and all these new bands.Part of the problem is radio doesn't play UFO.
this is the typical thing of the mid 70s... this hard rock floatin guitar (near a cotton cloud) cannot be found now... guns n roses were one of the ten and more famous bands who were influenced by those guys. solid and inspired band...
well some said until 1979... but i choose a more delicate 1983... at least in 83 they were better than black sabath and the who.
Seen this band many times..Friday Nights at the old Newcastle mayfair..UFO..AC/DC (with Bon Scott) and Judas Priest seemed to take it turns as resident band...Great times..
Always noticed Schenker hardly ever used his little finger during the solo's.
@glezzery Articulate, emotive, Soul to the bone, I know what ya mean by dreaming to have that "touch"
Its one thing to create it and another to do it. I dream up all kinds of shit along these lines then try and kick it out and always end up saying "Fuck you michael... Ilove you..... but fuck you" Just try the intro to rock bottom and it gets ya moving in his mindset. Very cool.
Just saw them again last night (1st time in Chicago in 1980) and they still kicked ass! What a great band! As far as Schenker vs Dharma, Am a HUGE Cult fan! Gotta go with Buck but Schenker is right up there!
You need to recheck the old UFO albums. Schenker and Dharma are really not even in the same category.
I mean can you see Buck writing a song like Rock Bottom.
And Schenker was 18 when he wrote that and the others on Phenomenon. 19 when the ass stomper Force It came out. And he continued to improve until the mid 80's. It's not even close.
@iwork2hrd why don't they stop with those kind of fights...
the vs thing... i don't like it that much... well...but ok it makes us talk a lot...
the question can be... which band has made the best album ? in the shenker vs dharma catch fight.... i'm for nobody...they are differents and they offer different perspectives of what is a great rock n roll guitarist
but you can put Joe Perry too.... or Alex Lifeson...and ....there's Peter Frampton .... etc...
@selby06 that's a tuff one, There both great players and both great bands, last days of may by BOC studio version was a bit like schenker, and was my favorite from them, but schenker rules.
@selby06 I have heard of the Legend,Schenker, But i have never heard of Buck Dharma, It sounds fake like Buck Rodgers,or maybe Duck Dodgers in the 25th & a half Century,Please inform me, as I have studied & played music for 35 yrs & never heard of him,,or Her,,,They must be very good
@YogthSothoth No i'm not a fan of Blue oyster cult, I always thought it was a gay band, You know like the Blue Oyster club, a gay club i seen on some silly movie, Maybe I should give them a listen if their not
@Bloodaxe1300 Well, thats a pretty strange reason not to check out a band, but we all have our quirks.
I haven't heard the vast majority of their stuff but I can tell you that their first two albums (s/t, Tyranny and Mutation) plus their first live album (On Your Feet Or On Your Knees) are absolutely mandatory if you like heavy rock and roll with an emphasis on excellent riffing. Check out the songs The Red and the Black or Seven Screaming Diz-busters for examples.
@mvbeckril ..that is an important revelation. never knew that. SRV also held the pick upside down...there is alot of speed gained in that kind of approach but it softens the attack...unless your MS or SRV - what a great player MS was.
yeah, a little unorthodox, but i hold mine the same way and it has never fumbled loose. more control, imo. all that hold it over the crease of your index with the thumb parallel to it is a bunch of happy horseshit. lol
does anyone else remember seeing UFO (I think it was Way and Mogg) on Hollywood Squares back in the 70's....? It was rock n roll week. They also had Steven Tyler and Joe Perry in a square...Todd Rudgren was there too. Does anyone know where I can see this...??
No way! So I didn't imagine it!! Were you into UFO at the time or just a kid too..??? I was just a kid but I remember thinking that the name UFO was strange..? I think It was Way and Mogg in the square....must have been about 75 or 76?
he dude....wow you're saying they were on Hollywood squares in 79..???!! Man, that can't be, I think we're about the same age (45?) I'm pretty sure I was a kid when I saw that..?? But memories can be deceiving. Anyway of tracking down a clip of that...??
is that Mogg?? shenker looks nothin like his bro. I heard Iommi was trying to get Mogg in Sabbath at one time??Is Clause Mien a fag? I heard that too??
When was this - anyone know? Moggy looks like he lopped the dodgy hair off though - the 1975 fringe has been replaced by what looks like a perm done by his mum.
Listen to me. Don't start with the live album until you get accustomed to their songs/sound. Get Force It and Phenomenon first, all the others will fall in place. Cheers.
Stranger in the Night the brilliant live one. But you gotta get the 2 I stated first. "Force It" is an ass stomper, no doubt! Get it first man. I mean now!
I saw UFO in 1978 at the Forum in LA. They opened for the then-very popular Blue Oyster Cult. It was the first concert I ever went to, so UFO is always special for me.
Back in those days I also saw Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Montrose, and.......wait for it......Linda Ronstadt! Ha ha ah!
this song was fucking awsome..i never heard UFO before but Dave Mustaine said he use to listen to them alot in an interview so i decided to check em out.\m/
Get the albums with Schenker(70's UFO/Scorps). Mustaine is right. Force it, Phenomenon, Lights out and the live album Stranger in the Night are brilliant. Schenker is a god.
I know. I simply was saying. Start with Force It and Phenomenon if you have never heard a record from them. No Heavy I like ALOT. But I thought Obsession was my least favorite of the studio albums from them. But it is damn good, just not as good as the others to me. UFO with Schenker never made anything but great stuff.
UFO is a main influence of Steve Harris & Iron Maiden. Maiden totally stole the whole "galloping guitar" sound from UFO, and Harris gives credit where credit is due.
prvthampton is a fuckin fool this idiot only knew the diffrent era UFO and IRON MAIDEN were in i've seen them both live and both kick ass. YOU FUCKIN FOOL!!!!!!!!!
These were the best of the best bands out there. U.F.O. Thin Lizzy, and Pink Floyd was the best ive ever seen. These bands were the musicians choice of bands. Just incredible live performaces they gave.
nobody makes music like that these days except me im probably the only 15 year old in the world that lstens to nothing but the 70's and 60's music not naything else ill bring back the good time sand the good music.
UFO was a great band along with many other classic bands.Heavey metal need to bring in a new wave that is totally kick ass because new metal band are pathetic these days we need to put some guys out there that can really sing and can really play
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sorry man but anybody who was around to see UFO in concert and hear that stuff for the FIRST time - we all know what pansies Iron Maiden was. Just a bunch of chump posers with no talent. Schenker is far above them as the sun from a squashed maggot
yes i agree it is a shame people don't write like this anymore....i can play this song though it's really fun to play and easier than i thought to learn.
Michael Schenker is one of the reasons I bought my Black Beauty Gibson Les Paul Custom 30 years ago. It was either a guitar or a car. I bought the Gibson. I have had many cars since then but never a need to replace that guitar. Thanks for all of the music Michael. A life long admirer.
simply wonderful...top-notch crazy steamrolling rocker shifts to sublime instrumental melody and back again. i love these guys...thanks ufo and thanks for posting this. what video source is this from?
Yes I still have it but Im sorry I checked it out again. Love to Love is only very brief. Not even maybe 20 seconds or so. Somebody somewhere has the rest. If you want a copy of the rest of the show with about 9/10 songs. email me here and I can give you the address for someone to get it from. about 5 bucks
Hell Yea!! took the stinky Halsted St Bus from the Northside there .. Also the song line up is totally dif if you have the re released Strangers thats the original show ...for those around the world " THE AMP "
was our version of Budokan Hall in Japan and the Hammersmith Odeon in London it was the place to be and meet friends ans see some of the best ROCK Bands around ( HEY I SEEN YOU AT THE AMP )
they opened for aerosmith in trenton when i saw them.t hey shoulda closed

No way! So I didn't imagine it!! Were you into UFO at the time or just a kid too..??? I was just a kid but I remember thinking that the name UFO was strange..? I think It was Way and Mogg in the square....must have been about 75 or 76?
thx bro!

When was this - anyone know? Moggy looks like he lopped the dodgy hair off though - the 1975 fringe has been replaced by what looks like a perm done by his mum.

Strangers in the night is the album I meant....
synchro5uk 2 years ago
Listen to me. Don't start with the live album until you get accustomed to their songs/sound. Get Force It and Phenomenon first, all the others will fall in place. Cheers.
Stranger in the Night the brilliant live one. But you gotta get the 2 I stated first. "Force It" is an ass stomper, no doubt! Get it first man. I mean now!
kingofthedeep 2 years ago
I saw UFO in 1978 at the Forum in LA. They opened for the then-very popular Blue Oyster Cult. It was the first concert I ever went to, so UFO is always special for me.
Back in those days I also saw Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Montrose, and.......wait for it......Linda Ronstadt! Ha ha ah!

this song was fucking awsome..i never heard UFO before but Dave Mustaine said he use to listen to them alot in an interview so i decided to check em out.\m/
Omertasixty6 3 years ago
Get the albums with Schenker(70's UFO/Scorps). Mustaine is right. Force it, Phenomenon, Lights out and the live album Stranger in the Night are brilliant. Schenker is a god.

your so right..I went through wearing out quite a few of his albums

Don't forget No Heavy Petting and Obsession...Some of the best stuff they've done is on those 2 albums
BigNuthin 2 years ago
I know. I simply was saying. Start with Force It and Phenomenon if you have never heard a record from them. No Heavy I like ALOT. But I thought Obsession was my least favorite of the studio albums from them. But it is damn good, just not as good as the others to me. UFO with Schenker never made anything but great stuff.

UFO is a main influence of Steve Harris & Iron Maiden. Maiden totally stole the whole "galloping guitar" sound from UFO, and Harris gives credit where credit is due.

These were the best of the best bands out there. U.F.O. Thin Lizzy, and Pink Floyd was the best ive ever seen. These bands were the musicians choice of bands. Just incredible live performaces they gave.

sorry man but anybody who was around to see UFO in concert and hear that stuff for the FIRST time - we all know what pansies Iron Maiden was. Just a bunch of chump posers with no talent. Schenker is far above them as the sun from a squashed maggot

Michael Schenker is one of the reasons I bought my Black Beauty Gibson Les Paul Custom 30 years ago. It was either a guitar or a car. I bought the Gibson. I have had many cars since then but never a need to replace that guitar. Thanks for all of the music Michael. A life long admirer.
