UFO Rock Bottom (Strangers in the Night -- Chicago 1978) *FULL SONG*

[AllFuckeDub]

has to be one of the best live tracks for sure. The keyboard/solo interaction is just stunning!!

So explain the 18 minute live MSG solo's?!!

[cowshedposse]

best solo ever . com

[steve41557]

Turn up to 11!

[RibaZec]

The solo on this song is truly breathtaking, arguably one of the greatest solos in rock history but, unfortunately, very overlooked. Compare this beautiful piece of soloing with anything that today's guitarists do. They are better shredders, I give them that, but when it comes to musicality, there's a class difference.

[joeybbbbbz]

imagine listening the solo whilst on lsd that would be funny--- one big mash!

[steve41557]

F*cking awesome!!

[kevinbonghitz]

Breaking down this lead in mode theory it is a song in E but he relates the modes around a D major and the modes he uses are G Lydian , A Mixolydian ,B Minor F # Phrygian , C # Locrian , and E Dorian(which is the key of the song although he uses more penatonic minor when playing E and very little Dorian(Remember the D Major never gets used in this song it is just that these modes happen to relate to it) A mysterious rule of music theory. Think of the major as the parents.

[kevinbonghitz]

I have played guitar for 37 years since the age of 6,I play in a metal original band that plays classic rock when it comes time for covers, and I teach guitar . Let me tell you right now that Micheal Schenker is a guitarist I place on the highest of pedistools along side of Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell ,Steve Vai, Steve Morse,Ynwie Malmsteen,Ritchie Blackmoore,Page,Hendrix and you name it, Michael is right up there with the best of them and this solo seals that fact.

[cunningpyt]

One of best solos ever. UFO are playing some gigs in Manchester UK on 30th March so going to see that. Not Schenker et al but Mogg and Way and others. Cant wait!!

[MrTheMasterX]

I'm not really into the "thumbs up" thing, but I'll make one exception:

Thumbs up if That Metal Show brought you here.

[redwingism1]

@MrTheMasterX Absolutely. They sold me on looking this up.

[frozenjoelian]

UFO kicks ass ,I was only 18yrs old when I seen them at the International AMP. in chi-town back in the day,it was a kick ass show,along with Judas priest,what a great time that was mini skirts all over,big hair..and high heels...YEA miss thse kick ass days of rock n roll..

[64MELTON]

KING SCHENKER!!!!!!

[jonrev]

The [x] dislikes are oh my god who gives a shit.

[1sueism1]

@jonrev thanks jon for reminding me how much i LOVE UFO!!!!

[pinkeaglebro5]

I got this album when it first came out. I was in the 6th grade. I still listen to it in it's entirety at least once a month. A true classic that should be played on the radio with all the other greats. First band I saw in concert!!!! Oakland Day On The Green 1979.

[1sueism1]

@pinkeaglebro5 gwad how I wanted to see them at the Cow Palace in 1980, but my parents wouldn't let me :(

[superfartdog]

mother flapper! i have been into classic rock for a while and i've never heard of these guys? excuse me as i go repent .....

[jennaaaloveshugs14]

schenker is god

[xmor61]

It is an incredible performance. And he wrote this song when he was freaking 19 years old.

[1ChillRebel]

Greatest Live Album EVER!!! Greatest Fuckin' Guitar Solo EVER!!! PERIOD...

[hvyunit]

OHHHH Yea man...Scorpions...



[WickedMz]

LMAO 2 people actually disliked this

[Damaged699]

@WickedMz The two dislikes apparently came from two unfortunate, uneducated, and obviously unqualified to many any comments regarding music, dimwitted FUCKING ASSHOLES!!! Dont trip man, no one can offer any disregard or take away the greatness of UFO and other bands from our time. They just seethe knowing this was, is and will remain the best music our planet will be blessed with and haters can hate but thats all they can do. Fucking stupid fucks!!

[WickedMz]

Dorain mode never sounded so dynamic...Schenker is so freakin melodic

[jackmioff100]

The whole album is amazing; this is the highlight, at least for me. Shenker is fucking awesome- hard rock guitar the way it should be played- heavy, melodic, and great chops.

[heavenhelp1982]

No one could touch Schenker back then...he was the man! the likes of Gary Moore, Uli Roth, and Eddie Van Halen all had special moments in 1978 but for me Schenker topped them all and this solo is just one reason why

[ffejmetalhead]

1st concert ever with shenker before he left in tucson az 1978 shenker is god

[jonbecker03]

i've got to hand it to phil mogg on the lyric. he really nailed it this time. the lyric is all mogg in its idiosyncracy, ambitiousness, and unusual syntax. but instead of sounding awkward, it sounds inspired.

[TBirdSCIL]

How the hell could you leave out Phil Mogg's drunken.... "whadidja say?....WHAT!?...O-kay, here's a sawng called Ruck Buttum!"

[jonrev]

@TBirdSCIL Blame YouTube's then-10 minute duration limit.

[mikesikorski]

I saw UFO in May1979 at the International Amphitheater in Chicago. Michael Schenker was a no show, but UFO rocked the house! Judas Priest was the opening act on their Hell Bent For Leather tour. AWESOME SHOW!!

[magic8ball2112]

Whenever I pick up *any* flying V guitar, this song's main riff is immediately what I rip on!!

[QueenofSwords38]

What smokes THIS? NOTHING. PERIOD. lol I missed it, and hearing it again... wow. Saxon Pride just fired up. So UNDER rated... so sad. People miss out. Oh well... WE know eh? Hit repeat... =D

[djphobiaturn]

This Album deserves its rave reviews,(Album Top 10 Of All Time) You better know it! "Rock Bottom" Top 10 Best guitar work ever, (along with) "Live No Quater, Dazed And Confused, Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin" (1976), Ted Nugent - Live Stranglehold (both studio and live versions are excellent!) Deep Purple "Made In Japan"(1972) Sides 2&3, and even "Peter Framptons - Do You Feel Like We Do! Not to mention, "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 4Way Street - Southern Man"... I could go on and on.

[djphobiaturn]

I also agree (to a certain point), I was fortunate to see this tour, and was present for some of the recording of this material. (The "Black Sabbath / UFO" {with "Mothers Finest" opening up the show}) I have said before that some bands sound better live than the studio version, THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM! The guitar work on this track, (as well as a few others) have the ability to literally pick you up and carry on an astrological voyage! Very few bands, and or tracks can do that!

[akd1959]

People! This is great, though recorded many years ago. :D

[elviskorr1]

amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[PeteTheSnowDog1]

Michael Schenker's solo in this song is still mind blowing to this day. In all due respect, however, its too bad that Schenker can't lay off the bottle.

[petesway1962]

@PeteTheSnowDog1 Saw him in Liverpool last year and he was immense!

[mfmishere]

@PeteTheSnowDog1 michael has actually been clean for some years now is playing just as good as ever. i've seen about 4 times recently and i was blown away. look up some of his recent videos and you'll be surpised by how good he sounds.

[nitramyor1961]

Best live ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[gigisdad]

Yes this solo is off the charts. I've always marveled at how he could keep coming up with stuff for 4 fucking minutes straight.

[DeaconBlues61]

Anyone that ever makes a "top ten live albums of all time" list should be shot if they don't put this album on the list.

[nrwlkguy]

@DeaconBlues61 Absolutely the best live album i have ever heard so you are right DeaconBlues61

[sks6689]

MY FAV SOLO EVER!!!!!!!! by anyone1

[frozenjoelian]

I was but 15yrs old when i seen this show,fuckin awesome sound longest by far that i've seen in years..

[cjjaxxon]

@frozenjoelian Shoot! I was in 7th grade when this came out. AND I lived on the south side, in Englewood at that.

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@unravelled1962 How is it an insult.

[KrupaDrums]

Guitar World just named Schenker's solo on this version in the Top 50 solos all time. Great credit to a true virtuoso!

[dkitty8124]

[petesway1962]

[sebz661]

most underrated band in history!

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@sebz661 Wrong! the most underrated band in history is RIOT.

[sebz661]

@Purdonnnnn1873 hahahah how is that even relevant? their like a thrash metal band. theirs a bunch of good underrated bands out there. its all a matter of opinion. bobby jarzombek is the best though.

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@sebz661 Heavy Metal, plus U.F.O are Heavy Metal aswell.

[sebz661]

@Purdonnnnn1873 yeah and jay z is real gay.

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@sebz661 What does "Jay-Z" have to do with this?

[sebz661]

@Purdonnnnn1873 exactly my point. what does Riot have to do with this??

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@sebz661 You named an underrated band and so did I.

[colourcircle]

...love it...

[WELSHUFO]

Never bettered...awesome!

[GuitarArmy95]

Two people haven't hit ROCK BOTTOM!

[theslayermon]

@GuitarArmy95 no, no comments like that

[GuitarArmy95]

@theslayermon I usually don't post ones like that. But the door was open.

[TheBartphil]

The best ever still



[fierrote]

2 faggots...2 queers didn't like this great song by UFO... guess it was to loud for them and it made their arse...i mean their ears bleed.

[moonrider67]

@fierrote looool, someone who don,t like this music, do not enjoy anything in his life...what a waste...

[meatwarwick]

tommi120 your are spot on this is Is a CLASSIC!

[tomm120]

In my opinion, the Greatest Rock Guitar Solo in History. I'm a huge fan of all the shredders (Vai Satriani, Greg Howe, Malmsteen, Van Halen etc). But this solo still rocks my world 30 years later. Magic !!

[meatwarwick]

@tomm120 You are in my zone matey! this is just a Classic track....and one of many from UFO

[Apathesis0]

@tomm120 Word. One of the very few guys who can shred with SOUL.

[notoriodtc]

7:46 -7:50 that climax alone is 4 seconds better then any bit of the crap todays bands are excreting.

[KingWTFuck]

My old man got a copy of this, i burned myself 10 copies of the album, 1 for my room, 1 for my car, 1 for school, and 7 for opening pop cd cases at walmart and replacing the cd's with this! UFO kicks anyones ass!

[couerl]

[Wildhorses39]

[elbertsnext]

Thank you for having a lot of class!

[TheTim1007]

one of the greatest live solos ever recorded sheneker rules

[PampersPete]

UFO always reminded me of Montrose for some reason. The sounds are eerily similar.
