UFO [ ROCK BOTTOM ] [III] LIVE, 1998.

[Diostillrocks]

One thing I noticed from these series of videos is that Pete Way seems to be Phil Mogg's body guard in addition to his bass playing duties. Looks like he makes sure that Schenker doesn't get too close to Phil. Every time Schenker gets closer to Phil, Pete sort creates a wall and pushes him back. Notice how Way always plays next to Schenker. You don't see Way doing this when Vinnie Moore or Paul Chapman was in the band. Way free lanced more often during the Moore or Chapman eras.

[Diostillrocks]

Michael looks like he was in a goth phase here. He truly is one of the Men in Black associated with UFOs.

[ccgetty]

One of the bands I've always loved and wanted to see, KILLER version of one of my favorite songs of all-time \m/ \m/

[blackstar1827]

[WWFinurhouse]

I wish Motorhead had a cover of this song!

[Schenkerflyingv]

I read that Michael dyed his hair black in memory of his father that passed away prior to this tour with UFO

[MrSk1111]

I am as loyal a Michael Schenker fan as there is out there. I have seen him play countless times, including in the 70's, and this is a disappointing version in my opinion. It is unique in that it is so raw, and there are some really hot bits, but he seems really loaded and unsure of himself. I will watch some other songs from this show, but he would not be proud of this performance- he hacked it bad in a few spots.

[MrSk1111]

@MrSk1111 So, I watched a bunch of other songs from this show, all pretty hot....... Thanks, Axe

[AXEFLYERFV]

@MrSk1111 thank you so much for watching & comment!

[rallyivan1234]

In the same year Michael was on tour with G3

[HairyHempHead]

Didn't Rudy dye his hair blonde and start this thing with Michael?? Also, I think the band were starting to implode at this time. Booze/drugs etc... I wish there were more vids from the short reunion. I am a major fan and guitar player. MS Rules!!!!

[XxskoolxX]

this shit fucking rocks, i love the intro

[TurboThrash]

Who cares what Schenker looks like, it is his playing that counts. Image don't mean anything....

[cessnapilot182]

Why in the hell does he look so werid here! damn! 

[AXEFLYERFV]

@cessnapilot182 the clothes & the hairdo,changed his look totally but the playing still great,thnx for tuning in!

[cessnapilot182]

@AXEFLYERFV hell yeah. i dont care what he looks like, he'll rock forever!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@cessnapilot182 Right man,thnx for watching!

[silvakevin1]

no pinky during solo, has to be Michael!!!

great video Axeflyerfv

[outlawslaw1]

@silvakevin1 I 100% agree with Silva no pinky in the solo means MS.

[MrStratcaster]

Schenker is a deutscher.Und komischerweise,können die auch was.Ausser Scheisse tun.

[mikaluvr12]

That is not Schenker fools

[AXEFLYERFV]

@mikaluvr12 you are making yourself look like the bigger fool with your comment,

you obviously don't know much about Schenker!

This is Schenker!!

I have no time to be bullshiting people here!!

If there's one thing I know is Schenker!

[heartofdarkness13]

@AXEFLYERFV that dude claiming this isnt schenker is an idiot. thank you for posting all these great hard to find videos that the TRUE schenker fans can appreciate. by the way, i saw msg live two days ago and i was right in front of schenker. i even got to touch his guitar. it was awesome.

[w00tm0fa]

@mikaluvr12 ya it is

[mateusromanp]

UFO gotta be with Schenker. Vinnie Moore's ultra-fast solos just don't match with their tunes.

[mariosyjp]

Michael Schenker = the best hard rock guitarist ever

[lth68]

MS is an amazing guitar player for sure but Frank Hannon Did a pretty good job with that solo as well....

[AXEFLYERFV]

I posted that video at my ZODIAKFV page,yes he did a great job & also there is a video on youtube of EUROPE doing LOVE TO LOVE ,man,was I surprised to see Europe doing that one,excellent cover Norum just nailed it!!

thnx for watching!!

[sxyltn408]

i saw this tour, ufo played 3 or 4 nights in palo alto, ca, i went to all shows. at first i wondered who the hell is this guy all in black with short black hair? But once he started playing and i saw his face all doubts were laid to rest!!!!

[AXEFLYERFV]

Right on man!

you can tell when is Schenker playing,he is a unique  guitarist!!

[deadlydazzler]

I saw them on this tour at Bradford St. Georges Hall - unquestionably Michael - and they were absolutely on fire.

[daddyman01]

Can't say I understand the black hair, but I can't imagine anyone playing that solo but MS. Played it like he owned it.

[Funkerman301]

one of the best guitar solos~!

[iamtheonug]

it's definetely Schenker!

[28thedoctor28]

hahahahaha its MS for SURE!!!!! Idiots!!!! LOL... unreal??!!!

[ZODIAKFV]

Finally somebody with more sense,!

thanx for your comment where has this people been,cannot believe they can't tell the difference between Schenker & others!

[recordlabelmusic]

He doesn't even LOOK anything or PLAY anything like Schenker. That being said, I don't know wtf he is either.

[AXEFLYERFV]

If you know Schenker you'll know is him,jesus ,I can't believe you people can't tell he is Scehnker,I posted practically the whole damm concert !

is unbeliavable I have to come back here & say it over & over!

just lok at the way his fingers moves to play the notes,nobody plays like the way Schenker does,that should be a hint,there are more videos from this concert check them out!!

they are on the right side hand side & scroll down!

[AXEFLYERFV]

Tonka has never played with a FV,doesn't play guitar like this,his style is different,,just look at his face,look at the year Tonka never played with UFO ever again once He left UFO! I have posted practically the whole concerts from Germany & Vienna , don't know why he dyed his hair plus why would Chapman be playing with Michaels Flying V with the 4 on?

the same guitar form The UFO Walk on Water Reunion tour,if you don't know stop the guessing,come on!

[waylay00]

@paulasavory Are you kidding me, holding the V between the legs and rocking back and forth hunched over practically is MS's signature move...

[AXEFLYERFV]

honestly,when was the last time you saw Schenker,what tour,what year & what album?

Have you seen him or any pictures of him on the G3 tour?

Satriani,Uli Roth & Schenker ,it is this same guy ,dressed & looking the same,so according to you is not Schenker either?

can't believe you came back & replied with this comment,you don't know Schenker at all,really!

[waylay00]

Ah, the ignorance...All you have to do is play the video from the beginning, and you'll see him doing it...MS has one of the most distinctive vibratos around, and it's clearly evident in this video.

Bottom line is that this is definitely Michael...No doubt about it. Case closed.

[sxyltn408]

ur a fool man

[FingerLickinGravy67]

onea the most kickass songs man

[karloffb]

This Rocks

[mitsospreveza]

Michael!!!!!1 GREAT!!!

Whoy does he have black hair???!!!

[metalseed9]

Not Michael. I think it's Paul Chapman

[AXEFLYERFV]

Paul Chapman can't play like this,this is Michael Schenker with his dyed hair!

besides Chapman never played with a Flying V,this is the same look Michael has when he played with Satriani,Uli Roth on G3.

[spidergawd1]

thanks axe!!! nother great clip of ufo

[AXEFLYERFV]

you're welcome man!

[rokyfireloadat32]

lose the motherfucking organ...it's shit!

[grgoldner]

Trademark dope.

[thegunth63]

great guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ave2112]

1998 was a favorite UFO period with MS rejoining and the release of my personal fave "Walk On Water"! great video! Rip it!

[garyrichardz]

I agree, Walk on Water is UFO's best. I just watched MSG live a few hours ago at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills. MS is better than ever. I stood 15 feet to his left and Schenker did not miss a note all night. His Rock Bottom lead is new and hands down better than the version in this video. It was the best lead I have ever heard in my life. I still like the UFO songs better, but MS has never played his axe as well as he is right now.

[mmm888777]

CLASS!!!

[perco754]

Fucking awesome, that's it!!!

[DKH1103]

Really beautiful performance by Schenker. The whole thing's full of energy. Mogg doesn't quite have the pipes he used to, but still OK.

[wap9]

PETE WAY IS FUCKING AWSOME.

[kernspalter]

I'll see them at Wacken :D

[dlchambers]

a) Michael Schenker is GOD.

b) Pete Way is a useless stagehog.

[goinouttamyhead]

I know that UFO added a lot in the studio and seemed a bit "thinner" live but were still a good four piece and didnt need a keyboard or second guitarist. I wouldnt want to pay money to see this lineup. Is that Pete Way as vocalist?

[MSDTS]

Micheal's the best,but this one disappointed me. Lots of bum notes.

[ask1962]

Fuck this is sooo great!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZODIAKFV]

Check this killer version also:

MICHAEL SCHENKER [ ROCK BOTTOM ] [ VIII ] LIVE,1997

[radialspokes]

Great video! Michael lost lots of weight since the video was made. His ex-pain in the asss Bella Piper can do that to anyone.

[lothy59]

hot hot hot too hot too handle.. great axe LOL

[coolinthepocket]

which guitar player is this they've had like 18

[AXEFLYERFV]

This here is michael Schenker with his hair dyed black,he's the only one that only plays a Flying V with UFO and they only had about 5 guitarists!

[coolinthepocket]

I see

[jamieskinner3]

this version is cool, but if you listen to how it was when they first started playin it it has so so lost the feeling. new amps and such kill the feel to it i think. correct me if i am wrong. !!! it was just so raw and powerful before and now its a bit like they all lose interest half way through.

[humboldtmyche]

Anguilluian text books are teaching you that ?

[xodia1989]

This Favorites Band

[humboldtmyche]

Let's see here, who is the Schenker impersonator ? ;^) I wonder what possessed him to dye his hair in the first place... Just think,if Mr. Hitler would have succeeded in his evil plans, Mikey would not have existed ! ( another good reason for the world to thank the good old USof A)

Peace,

Myche
