The most underrated in history.

UFO especially with Michael Schenker (without taking anything away from the other members, all very good) were a great band that knew how to compose unforgettable songs. He combined sublime melodies with remarkable grit. In Italy they were completely snubbed at the time. Blessed are you English people who had the honor of seeing them live. Greetings from Italy

Tons of Lead Singers owe their ARSES to Phil Mogg. He is such a raw singer and performer. Underrated! LONG LIVE THE UFO.

Michael Schenker is still the LAW when it comes to guitar players.

UFO is the best band ever.I seen them twice in Toronto at massey hall&r&r heaven.Come back to Toronto,I'ts been too too long .We love you here. SO PLEASE!!!! COME BACK.... STRATCAT.P.S.I finally got"strangers in the night" on cd,Ihave it on vinyl,I have every album and cd.Thankyou for all the music&concerts. Nothing comes close to UFO..THANX.STRATCAT101

UFO with Michael Schenker is the best band I've ever seen live, and I've seen a lot of great ones. But no one was better than Schenker, Mogg, Way, Raymond and Parker, when those 5 took the stage it was amazing.

All the players in UFO are underrated, between Uriah Heep and UFO you couldn't ask for more underrated musicians.

Most music "fans" that I have talked to have little knowledge of music or the construction of music, they fall into on of two camps. 1) flavor of the moment. Or 2) I heard it was good.

Schenker did alot of great guitar work for a kid!!! He was a teenager when he was in UFO!!!

UFO rocks unlike any other. Grinding, melodic, cerebral rock-n-roll. Thanks gentlemen.

Pete Way was the coolest bass player to ever live! Michael Schenker is the best!

This is flippin kick ass great song the guitar solo has so much feeling I love UFO ........

emotion huh

RIP Paul Raymond. The unsung hero of UFO.

As a Schenker fan, this is incredibly annoying: arguing over which guitarist is fastest or who did what first. Schenker is about beauty, taste, style, and grace. Speed is totally inconsequential to creativity and expression, which believe it or not is what music is actually about. A truly great guitarist is someone (like Schenker) who's playing is exactly what he feels. You can't really judge music at this level, or say that someones emotions are better than someone else's emotions. It's not a competition. Grow up.

schenker in the night

no one played melodic hard rock guitar any better than michael schenker, ever. the accolades are all deserved. he had it all...speed, style, grace, and the genius to make incredible melodies in the midst of all that tightly controlled fury.

UFO, the greatest band ever!!!

one of best songs of ufo,and one of best solo ever played

Met michael schenker at a radio station in jacksonville, fl. Back in the early 90's. This guy was so cool, when i shook his hand and looked into his eyes i knew i was looking into the soul of a musical genius.

i like this kids

Favorite band ever! Listening to and finding kick ass rock-N-roll didn't come easy when UFO hit the air in the States back in the early 70's Back then , just like today the radio was cluttered with mostly bullshit ! No KZread, just the BoobTube. The only way you could get a crack at the good shit was to stay up way past your bedtime (I was only about 12 when this came out), sneak into the tv room and flip on Kirchners Rock Concert or Midnight Special Then hope you could find the album

Simply the BEST!!!

I bought ufo force in summer 1975 with out ever hearing them play I was not disapointed still one of my favorite albums much better than any thing from the eagles this is music at its best!!!

Самое ЛУЧШЕЕ и самое КРАСИВОЕ , самое ЯРКОЕ рок- соло всех времен и народов! 💪💪💪 Шенкер 💪💪💪!!!

I thought Michael was cutting edge in the 70's (he still is), a fresh melodic style, there are some all time classic melodies on UFO records ...

This solo is responsible for getting me into the Great Schenker!!

UFO = Great band the guitar solo in this song is amazingly emotional and just plain BADASS

I plug in the ear buds and crank this song full blast....neighbours can't believe how fast I can get the lawn cut...

Michael Schenker, a guitar hero!

The 1st song of ufo that i heard, i have been a big fan since

I bought the cassette tape "Force it" at the ship's store aboard the destroyer I was on in 1976

Uli Jon Roth not as fast as Schenker? Hmm I'd have to disagree. It doesn't matter. Schenker and Roth are my 2 favorite guitar players all time. Have been listening to them for over 25 years now. I'm the biggest fan of both of them. They are the 2 best at what they do. Melodic hard rock with style. Both excel at melody,phrasing,tone,vibrato,speed, with a the ability to write great great songs/solo's that are fresh and not sounding repetitive. The best 2 hard rock lead guitarist ever. Peace.

I agree. It's what you say not how fast you say it

Schenker and Roth are worlds apart from Slash,DiMartini,Perry, and Iommi. Its not even close for me. But thats just me. And yes I have heard all of their work. Schenker from 72-84 and Roth's work with the Scorps is some of the best ever.

Kick ass video, UFO's material from this time period are second to none! Schenkers the best!

59 Gibson V's are thicker and much heavier than the ones the make today. They do make you work a little more. Schenker is a maestro.

Best solo ever!

during this time in rock schenker was the fastest at guitar i dont know any others who had his speed at that time

I've always thought this song and a few other UFO songs sounded like Iron Maiden. Underrated Band. LONG LIVE THE UFO!

Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth are on my top list of best guitar players like Satriani,Blackmore,George Lynch,Vai,Gilbert,Van Halen,Jason Becker,(early) Malmsteen,Randy Rhoads,Nuno Bettencourt,Vinnie Moore,Gary Moore,John Norum,Steve Howe,Steve Lukather,Eric Johnson,and so many others....

Melodic as hell hard rock. God I love this shit. BTW Force It is THE album for UFO. And yes the live capper Strangers.

Only Schenker could come up with an interlude like that

absolutely excellent

This is a real gem. Thanks.

man what a fluid vibrato technique...good to finally see it in action..players will notice what i'm seeing. unbelieveably hard to master this.

a strong case can be made that UFO at their peak were the best rock band to see live ever, and even though that's a strong statement, I think it can be made. Here are some others that were this good live: J. Geils Band UFO King Crimson Can u name any other bands this good live? I can't. I can think of a lot of great live bands, but no lone else was this good.

Thank you

I saw UFO just after Schenker had left and was so disappointed and felt cheated that Paul Chapman was playing guitar instead of Schenker. This shows me what I could have witnessed.

If you people like this song you should obtain Force It. An amazing album.

has anyone heard ufo In session & live in concert.bbc archive series 74 to 77,with michael Schenker? It's a fantastic cd.IF you havent get it you will love it.

Master guitar player. Top 3 all time for me.

Niesamowita gitara Michaela Schenkera

เป็นเพลง เฮฟวี ฮาร์ด ร็อค ที่ยอดเยี่ยมที่มีอยู่ในโลกนี้

My friends at the time in 1977 (Lee and Tank) used to debate fiercely whether Chapman could replace Schenker in UFO, as he did on the 'No place to run' album. My friends tried to convince me, but honestly, once I had seen Schenker play with the band on the Obsessions tour, I was a lifelong fan of the group only at this point in their evolution - they never really got any better.

I saw Michael Schenker a few months ago in San Antonio. He opened for WASP.

Unfortunately Michael Schenker hasn't been with UFO in the past couple of years, but it's basically the classic lineup aside from him. Phil Mogg on vox, Pete Way on Bass, Paul Raymond on keys and guitar, drummer Andy Parker, with VINNIE MOORE now on guitar. I hope to catch em at the New Jersey date

Lagrimas de nostalgia como el pasado se fue en todo sobre todo en la musica , hoy puro ruido y basura comercial

I agree with ya MeanrBeanr. Ufo/thinlizzy/rainbow Scorpions w/ uli, and many more didnt get shit 4 airplay. Im very lucky to have grown up in that period of music, those were the days man. Carving empty pools in the 70s with my skateboard buddies, cranking ufo in da pool. What a ride! peace

Schenker is unbelievable.Way underrated,imo.

my favorite ufo !!!

Tasty and powerful Michael Schenker - what a guitar GOD. One of my favorite songs/leads by the master. Thanks so much for posting. Is this off a dvd collection?

Tasty solo!!

Many won't argue that UFO is the most underrated hard rock band ever..and that's ok, in a selfish way. Back in mid/late 70's while many were still listening to KISS (after "Destroyer", their last decent effort), others were paying attention to UFO, Budgie, Motorhead, B. Scott/AC-DC, JP and other "obscure"-at the time- bands. They had little to no radio airplay, no MTV, few rock mags like Circus and Creem to get exposure and Midnight Special...but we certainly had the BESTconcerts. \m/

Hell yeah! Schenker's my main man--

I was talking about in the 70's. In their prime.

Not even Clapton has this tone and phrasing.

So sorry you've never been to an actual concert. Watched UFO open for Rush '78. Sucks to be old but that aint Spinal Tap.

Sounds like this was Micheal's prototype for "Into The Area".

right on dude.

Man Michael Schenker is super dope.

yeah ,i seen them in72 with my brother

Rock and Roll 101 people...Awesome!

Fck Yes! .man they were good.

Damn Right.

Schenker is the David Gilmour of Hard Rock!

Hey guys, Louie Bellson was playing double bass in the 40's.

This is from the Roundhouse Show-London

O wow I see that!!!

wildvikes1 has a point or two. Soecially Blackmoore, I noticed alot of Blackmoore live concerts.

Smoothest gunslinger in the West

All great choices. I would put Mahoghany-Rush,Thin Lizzy, Rainbow in there too. All great live bands. Good call on King Crimson. They were out of this world.

Супер!

Gotta agree. I stumbled onto UFO in the mid 70`s in Australia on some music program and have been with them ever since. Now it`s Metallica..........

Schenker is the David Gilmour of hard rock!!

Schenker is one of the fucken best guitarist in the world i dont know why he doesnt get credited though.

I love UFO and the Stones maybe more than anyone on the planet. You can't compare the 2. Two different types of music really. The only thing they have in common is the blues base from which they work.UFO more hard rock-Stones more blues

Uli and Schenker......ya, both great guitar players. But the best ever? I won't say that they are not but I can think of at least a dozen guitaists that I equally admire...... Warren DiMartini, Randy Rhoads, Jimmy Page, Adam Jones, Joe Perry, Slash, van Halen early works, Tonni Iommi, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino, Ted Nugent.... Or bands...TheEagles, Lynard Skynard, Judas Priest, Scorpions, LA Guns, Suicidal Tendencies, Allman Brothers,... Remember Lou Reeds live version of Sweet Jane? Sweet!

@ironfistist Yep, pete way was a huge to harris's style, both image and playing : )

No but they wrote one called, "Let it Roll Down the Highway". I just didnt type all of it in.

@zman1974 YES THEY DO!

somebody turn up the a/c. musta been hella hot arena, why the drenched look?

UFO...Eddie Trunk approved!

Кто здесь 01.08.2024?

Ginger Baker was using double bass in the 60's ...

1:38

You gotta add thin lizzy as well. Rainbow,ufo,thin lizzy by far the the top three.....peace

Schenker is a German & Van Halen is of German decent & I would think Eddie listened to Michael a little bit although Eddie has said that Jimmy Page was his biggest influence

R o c k 🎉 ❤

Always think it looks odd seeing him stood on the left of the stage. More used to him on the right.

@TequilaJoeID I totally agree!! HOW ABOUT ROY BUCHANAN?! ☺
