UFO is an English band, but yes Michael Schenker is German and joined UFO in 1973 and left in 1978 with guest-visits from 1993 to 2003. Phil Mogg is the awesome lead-singer… totally all over the register and you can hear every word he sings making this song a masterpiece 👌🏻❤️😃

Fantastic British band. Michael Schenker is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and their live album is considered by many (including me) to be the best live album of all time.

@Izzi Michaels I think Walk On Water is right up there with them, there's something special that happens in the studio, and on the stage, when Schenker, Mogg, Way, Raymond and Parker get together.

I was working in a record store in the early 80's and Phil Mogg came in at 2 in the afternoon, falling down drunk with a lady on each arm. He bought a load of blues albums and left. At 9pm the same day he was perfectly fine and sang wonderfully through their entire set.

UFO is one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time. They have influenced decades of musicians and bands. Sadly we have lost many of the band members recently but Michael Schenker (Guitar) and Phi Moog (Vocals) have continued to give us their life songs to this day.

UFO is from England. The guitarist, Micheal Schenker, is from Germany. I went to see these guys in 1977 because of this song opening for a band I'd never heard before, Rush. Rush became my favorite band during that show.

Michael Schenker is one of the most under rated guitarist ever. You need to listen to some more UFO. Specifically, Rock Bottom, Too Hot to Handle, Lights Out, and Shoot Shoot. Love your reactions btw.

Starting with " Phenomenon" , to "Force it" , to "No heavy petting" , to "Lights out", to "Obsession" , to "Strangers in the night", every single one of these albums is utterly spectacular and shows the insane progression of Schenker's guitar mastery! My favourite is No heavy petting, one of the most overlooked! The first Schenker era (the 70's) and the second Schenker era (the 90's) are the peak of this legendary band. All the rest is worth a listen too of course, but with Schenket they peaked in everything!

This song is a masterpiece. The riff to Rock Bottom is considered the best ever.

They did not have violins on this song. That is their keyboard player providing that gorgeous accompaniment! In fact, that's one of the great things about UFO: they had one of the most Metal guitarists in Michael Schenker, one of the best vocalists in Phil Mogg, an outrageous Bass player named Pete Way, a great drummer named Andy Parker but also this great, tasteful keyboardist named Paul Raymond (who also played rhythm guitar)!

Please make reaction to Diana Ankudinova! Diana’s a contralto gifted with naturally occurring polyphonic overtones. Diana's voice is like a rainbow of colors now and there's a pot of gold that's the gift at the end of the rainbow, and the rainbows being the various tones that and qualities that she has to offer through the song. Diana's polyphonic overtone sounding is indescribable happiness, delight and goosebumps. To perform all this with a contralto chest register, combining with a mixed and head register, ending each phrase with his own unforgettable yodeling technique, no one is able to perform songs, as Diana does.

ufo strangers in the night one of the most underated live albums michael schenker is amazing!

I think that this is THEE band (and of the era of the band), that the studio recordings are no match for the LIVE versions that are on "Strangers in the Night". It gave new life to the songs and a young Michael Schenker just killing it on his Flying V. Its great to hear how the studio recordings sounded with all the nuances, but Live, it has a whole different dynamic, and that the band are so tight. Though I know that, especially back in the day, there is a lot of over-dubbing, and many people have mentioned that "Live" recordings back then were harder to pull-off. But still, a fantastic record - my favorite Live Album next to "Deep Purple - Made in Japan".

The band is English but their former kick ass guitar player Michael Schenker is German. Thanks for covering this awesome band. I just wanted to add that we understand why you pause. Better safe than sorry and it would stink to have to delete a reaction that you worked so hard to record and edit. We enjoy your videos too much to lose you guys.

Their bassist Pete Way just recently passed away... was a huge influence on Steve Harris and Nikki Sixx... was friends with Geddy Lee...UFO was a big influence on Metallica as well... They were from the UK except Michael Schenker... You should definitely check out the entire Lights Out and Obsession albums. Also Michael's solo work with his band MSG is also great. Michael has fantastic taste and bends like no one else.

Michael Schenker is one of the most influential guitarists who still is pretty unknown to the public. People know the players he has influenced but you get blank stares when talking about him. BTW he is the Scorpions' Rudolf Schenker's "little" brother, and had multiple stints at his older brother's band. I like both of them but I enjoy Michael's playing more. He's still going BTW, he's had multiple bands, most of the time it was the Michael Schenker Group, but there also was McAuley Schenker Group, Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock and similar iterations. They're worth listening to as well.

Favorite album is there 2nd album force it shenkers guitar tone is the best I've heard from any guitarist.my favourite guitar solo from this album is actually from the ballad try me.

UFO is terrific. I saw them live around 1978. Strangers in the Night is one of the greatest live albums and you should very much enjoy going down the UFO rabbit hole. BTW, their first two album are more space rock but they became a hard rock band with some excellent ballads. They are still around but the singer talked about leaving before Covid but now it looks like they may stay together, at least for the time being.

I discovered UFO in early 1980 when I was learning guitar. Schenker totally blew my mind. UFO was so killer with this lineup. This brings back so many memories.

Micheal Schenker went on tour with the scorpions, lonesome crow at age 16 and went to UFO. Michael Schenker is a true virtuoso , he is the best!

another great band from the 1970's . Suffered a lot of hearing loss from listening to UFO

UFO got very little radio play other than college stations back in the day so no surprise you have not bumped into them. A huge influence band cited by members of Def Leppard, Iron Maiden and Metallica amongst others. Michael Schenker is a guitar god, Phil Mogg the vocalist and primary song writer & only original member as of 2019. A GREAT rabbit hole to enter....

You made my day. UFO, they are amazing. That several have already written, the livealbum Strangers in the nigth is one of the best album ever. Keep on rocking and have a nice weekend :)

I've seen UFO with Chapman and later with Schenker. The first gig was brilliant, the second was one of the best I've ever seen, Schenker went off piste for couple of minutes on love to love, it was like being hypnotised, incredible.

Hello guys Michael Schenker, from UFO, and Rudolph Schenker from Scorpions are brothers. I suggest "Let it Roll" from Strangers in the Night. One of Michael Schenker 's best guitar solos. You two will be very impressed!!!

Hey Nick! Hey Lex! Thanks for doing that one. A little side note, I thought for years that song was called Misty Green and Blue 🙄. Welcome to UFO! I’m embarrassed to say though, I only know three of their songs; “Rock Bottom”, “Too Hot to Handle”, and “Love to Love”. Rock Bottom’s always been my favorite though. It just has this unforgettable guitar riff. Check it out, and you’ll see what I mean. Oh, and by the way, the guitar player is Michael Shenker who was in Scorpions early on with his brother Rudolph Shenker. And Rudolph is still with Scorpions since the beginning!

Michael Schenker from Scorpions (from Germany) was the lead guitarist of this English band. He was "on loan" from Scorpions and ended up staying with UFO permanently until he went off on his own and formed the Michael Schenker Group in 1979. A great guitar player. UFO's best song is probably "Lights Out", which is awesome.

Trust me you don't look like Micheal Schenker but more like Phil Mogg the singer, Micheal Schenker who made UFO with his outstanding compositions and songs, when he left the Scorpions in 1974 to join UFO that same year they came out with Phenomenon. '74 through '79 were the best years of UFO, after he left it just wasn't the same anymore. Micheal started his own band called MSG (The Micheal Schenker Group) which was also incredible.

The definitive version of this song is on their live album from 78 Strangers In The Night. Michael Shenkers solo is longer and more intense. Next do ROCK BOTTOM from that epic live album.

One of the greatest live rock and roll albums ever.

What a wonderful track to review.

Awesome song choice. This is the UFO that I'm a major and complete fan of. I have no idea how I first discovered them, but it was in the late '70s. I was a young preteen brat, and my brother is three years older than me. But one of my brother's friends (and neighbor) had a much older brother that indirectly introduced me to Rush, and probably UFO. He would play his music loud and I was hooked. I would thank him if it were possible! 👍 If I may add, Rush is the best, but everybody reacts to them. Don't stop!!! But more UFO, please!😆

15 years old, standing in a field at the Reading festival, the lights go down, the opening of this song plays, in the dark it seems to feel colder for some reason- the song builds and as they hit the line of 'misty green and blue', blue and green spotlights hit the tons of dry ice they'd pumped into the field. Memories you just don't forget.

Heard of this band in the 70's and had to get an album, I mean cmon UFO and it was a good album (Dont Force It) I think. But I had never heard this song untill I heard it on a reaction video and now yours. I think this is my favorite UFO song now. Thanks for playing it.

UFO should be in the HOF hands down. They have had great guitarists throughout and the albums with Paul Chapman, who succeeded Schenker, have similarly great songs I recommend “ Profession of Violence “

Michael was in the Scorpions for only one full album and part l of another. From 1974-1979, he was with UFO and really took them from obscurity to superstardom. As far as that 80’s metal scene you talked about, Michael Schenker was a major influence on nearly every metal guitarist in the 80’s. Check his wiki page and you will see a list of about 35 guitarists, most of whom you’ve heard of, who list him as a major influence. And it isn’t just because of his play. He is the best metal guitarist ever, in my opinion, bit he also influenced ( And is still influencing) Metal stylistically. Michael popularized the Flying V guitar and most people who play one, even now were influenced either by him directly, or by someone else who was influenced by Michael. To this day, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth tells people he plays a Flying V because of Michael Schenker. By the way, Michael and several members of the Scorpions are from Hanover.

I saw UFO in Yuma Az live late seventies early eighties . we jammed to all there albums on eight track and cassete in our cars. Still great music now I just blue tooth it to my home mega stereo from you tube and it is great again!

I grew up in the SF Bay Area in the 1970’s and 80’s. They had a concert series called “Day On The Green.” I went to several of them. I saw UFO, Gamma, Santana, REO Speedwagon & Journey. I had no idea that UFO even played this song. I was pretty wasted at the time and was there primarily to see Journey. I saw other bands at Day On The Green such as Toto, The Tubes,

Let's hear more UFO ‼️🤟

I've been playing guitar for 40 years. When I was a little kid Chuck Berry got me interested in guitar. He made it look so fun and cool. I goofed around with it. When I heard Michael Schenker on the Strangers in the NIght album, I got serious about it. Without Michael, I would never have started. He is a legend player, but a fragile personality and his demons kept him, and UFO, from ever getting as big as they could have in the USA.

Boy oh boy, you forget just how good those Schenker UFO years were.

Love to love and Shenker were my inspiration for picking up my first flying V. I never looked back.

These guys go way back to the 70’s. A killer guitarist back when guitar solos were mandatory! I saw them with Blue Oyster Cult. Btw I am a splitting image of the guitarist in the Scorpions. I wish I could play like him! 🎸

I saw them with BOC in 1977, BOC was debuting their laser light show that tour, it was a transcendent night of hard rock brilliance!

@@dannycasson1551 Awesome show Danny, that was the best I saw either band. Legends both for sure, they could Rock like their lives depended on it.

I’ve never heard any UFO either, so thanks for introducing me. The beginning reminded me a bit of “Such a Woman” by Tycoon (but it’s a little more mainstream but certainly worth a listen). In addition to UFO, I’ve never really listened to Gentle Giant or Camel either, and I know they all have a huge following.

Michael Shenkar. One of my favorite guitarists. Got all of his stuff too.MSG- Michael Shenkar Group. UFO Lights Out is good track. And they are German.😁🔥😋🤘💥👽

As a lifelong UFO fan, it’s still awesome to see people discovering the band for the first time. You can’t go wrong with anything in the UFO catalog. Some of my personal favorites are Looking Out For Number One, Lights Out, Cherry, Gone In The Night and of course, Love To Love. This was a great reaction and I hope you guys do a lot more of them.

Yes, in the future, refer to Strangers in the Night(Live) for any UFO as it contains nothing but amazement!

One of my all time favorites growing up absolutely love this song it's a classic...

Michael Schenker is one of the greatest players ever, and the younger brother of Rudolph Schenker from the Scorpions (he actually played with them off and on). You should check out UFO’s live masterpiece Rock Bottom.

Saw them in 82 on the Mechanix tour with Saxon... no Schenker... saw Schenker with Ratt in 1990 in San Antonio, TX at the Japanese Sunken Gardens... LA Guns also played that night

Force It is the peak UFO studio album for me, listened to this more than any other album and it's still exciting. Strangers In The Night is one of the very best live albums ever.

Great reaction to a great classic. The lead guitar player here was the original lead guitar player from Germany for the Scorpions in the early 70's. I had the good luck to see this song live in the Chicago in the late 70's. Very cool. Good catch about the Tubular Bells reference.

I first heard this back in 1979. I was blown away!!! It inspired me to play guitar and now I am a very accomplished guitar player. I love UFO. I recommend you listen to UFO LIVE STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT. Please react to rock bottom from that album.
