Was a killer first track from UFO! Fantastic live performance! Hope you guys are having a great week thus far and if not then this vid should cheer ya right up! Peace! ✌🏻🔥
Andy & Alex That riff!!!
Another band I discovered is another UK band called Bebop Delux, I know the band's name sucks lol.
Their best album is Live In The Air Age tracks like Ship's in the Night Blazing Apposils, Peace of Mind the whole album is a cracking live album.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Andy & Alex Welcome to U. F. O. I’m glad you two are experiencing the pioneers of rock music into the 80s with heavy-metal. It’s nice to see you guys going to the roots of rock. You two guys are forever going to love this classic rock music for the rest of your lives.
And for you to hear UFO for the first time and hear the song “rock bottom “ just made u fans forever.
Great job today on this classic tune. ✌🏻 out!!
Andy & Alex By the way, Michael Schenkers brother Rudolph Schenker plays guitar for the Scorpions
Great video. I've been subscribed to you guys for quite a while and there are so many great songs I'd love for you guys to hear, but for now, is there any way that you can listen to The Vigil by Blue Öyster Cult? That song is amazing and I can guarantee that you'll love it! PLEASE listen to it! You won't regret it, and a lot of people love Blue Öyster Cult, so it'd get a good amount of views too. It'd be amazing.
When people ask who's the most underrated band of all time, the answer is Ufo.
I think budgie are.
@@philn8122 Ufo made way more interesting songs than budgie imo, ufo were no run of the mill rock band
I wasn't implying that they were. I am 60 now and saw both bands lots of tlmes back in the day and have most of their records (especially the early ones). Cheers.
I would agree, but I would say Budgie were not a run of the mill rock band. Once again, a 3 piece outfit with a really big sound. I'm a huge fan of Tygers of Pan Tang first three albums as well. Still can't believe they never caught on.
That's correct Mike schenker most underated rock musician, UFO underrated big time.
THE ANGELS ALSO UNDERATED
All u ROCKERS!!!
Check out the angels from Australia
The best song
After the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hallelujah! Welcome to the wonderful world of Michael Schenker!
Michael Schenker is God!!!
Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kirk Hammet, Iron Maiden, Zakk Wilde were all influenced by Michael Schenker. The most influential guitarist you never heard of.
Congratulations! You've just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded in the history of Rock!
More UFO; Lights Out, Doctor Doctor, Too Hot to Handle, Only You Can Rock Me and Love to Love. Live versions.
YES - Lights Out and Love to Love - must listen!!
Joe S .....great choices!! Throw in Space Child and its a show
Yep, great song that deserves a listen as well.
Yes the lights out album was the best - I also enjoyed the wild willing and the innocent - Iron Maiden even did doctor doctor live
All great suggestions!
This entire live album is amazing and ranks alongside Thin Lizzy 'Alive & Dangerous', Kiss 'Alive 1', Blue Oyster Cult 'Some Enchanted Evening' as iconic live albums of my youth . More please guys !!
Not much can hang with Alive and Dangerous... UFO is badass
Yeah , KISS Alive I was pretty Big too
Unleashed in The East .. Judas Priest should be on this list
Deep Purple - - - Made In Japan. . .
Scorpions Tokyo Tapes is a killer live album too
Finally some UFO...gotta do Lights Out, Doctor doctor, Only you can rock me...
You guys rock!
UFO deserves to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Schenker is amazing!
True… but there’s no chance. Rush and Yes took forever to induct. There’s far too many R&B auto tune stars to induct ahead of them.
You guys should have been there.You cannot even Imagine the onslaught of pushed air from the amps at this show, your hair would blow back....it literally shook your organs inside your body...my ears rang for days, and it was awesome the whole damn time.
One of my favourite live albums, ever. Michael Schenker still plays this live, and he is BETTER THAN EVER. And I'm proud to say, my friend now plays second guitar and keyboards in his band, MSG.
You can't go wrong with any song from this album, "Lights Out" is probably the most known song. The lead guitarist is one of the best. Schenker is known for playing a V, which has that bright, mid-rangy tone. I just read that Schenker played with a wah permanently half cocked to emphasize that mid.
I thought he had that wah cocked open a bit normally. The tones of the wah are unmistakable.
I think maybe Love to Love is their most well known song. From what I remember it was played on the radio constantly, more than any other UFO song. It also happens to be one of the greatest rock ballads of all time.
I saw UFO in 1979 at the California world music festival, they put on a great live show, they made Aerosmith sound like a GarageBand.
Well, EVERYBODY made Aerosmith sound like a Garage Band back in the day. They sucked in concert back in the seventies. T
I was at that concert also, my second concert ever.
I thought Aerosmith were a garageband.
"Lights out, Lights out in Chicago".
You found UFO with some early Michael Schenker.. Your gonna love his later work in MSG. Attack of the Mad Axe Man.
Assault Attack is another good one from MSG.
One night at Budokan... is a must!! Let Sleeping dogs lie/Courvoisier Concerto/ Lost Horizons if you can!? :P
Hell yeah, MSG 2017 in Tokyo, one amazing show
They did a live album in the US. I think it was named LIVE IN THE US. One of my favorites
Great hard rocking riff and solo. Recorded in 78 and released in 79. Michael Schenker is one of the most influential guitarists of the era, Kirk Hammet, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell and many others have listed him as an influence.
P.S. This song was written in 1974.
Kirk Hammett practically bowed to Michael Schenker on That Metal Show when they first met. The "I'm not worthy" stuff.
Slash of Guns N Roses has said this is his favorite live album of all time Specifically this song he Loves, you can probably see why...
Slash practically got his entire style from michael and angus young...some jimmy page and uli jon roth mixed in too.
This song and he original version are iconic. The solo in the original ultimately I prefer, but this song just starts and ends so great in both versions.
Phil Mogg is one amazing singer that to this day has never lost his voice and will be retiring soon. Marc Storace of Krokus is another must hear.
Hardly gets a mention does Phil.
Listen to Let it Roll, or Can You Roll Her
just saw UFO on their "final" tour last year right before the lockdown. Phil is still awesome!
Great reaction to an epic track. The keyboard player is Paul Raymond. Fantastic musician. Sadly , died recently , just after the last UFO UK show. RIP.
Wow. I didn't know Raymond passed away. That is sad. He was awesome on keys and guitar.
YOU PLAYED IT!! AWSOME!! I am the guy who recommended this a few days back. Dont know which is which on your names but the kid on the left (from viewer perspective) got it right and for the right reason, he 9.5'd it and made the statement that "giving it's time it was made" as part of his rating and he is right. And ANYTHING classic rock (1965-1989) needs that perspective. I recommend this cut because it's one of rock's premiere LIVE moments and fearures Michael Schenker's ungodly tone and command of his instrument (plus the rest of that stellar band). And kudo's to the guy on the right, the long haired one for recognizing how great the drummer is on this (andy parker). Shows real depth in his musical taste and listening. The other reason i wanted you to feature this is how IMPORTANT this album is in ROCK GUITAR history and its right up there with Jimi's and EVH and Yngwie Mallmsteens debut albums and how they flat changed so many things. Now, this record is not on the change the game level those debute records were but it opened the ears and fingers of almost every guitar player after it. All your guitar hero's are directly or indirectly influenced by this album and probably have it in their music collection. There are a handful of TONE godz in guitar history known not just for chops but for the players tone and so many guitar players have been trying to emulate for decades namely Jimi Hendrix, Leslie West from mountain (famous song mississippi queen and huge influence on schenker) Carlos Santana and Michael Shenker and Billy Gibbons (early zz topp). These are the HOLY GRAIL of guitar TONE and dominate in places where tone is discsussed and guitar/amp/effects/pickup manufacturers base their info and products off of. These guys changed the game in TONE. A couple things i would like to add/recommend: First, what you guys are doing is IMPORTANT, on many levels. This music, ALL music should never be forgotten. Just because a song was done in a certain year shouldnt be a cause to not listen. Led Zepp made me find the blues guitar greats and how it influenced them and then me. Lynyrd Skynyrd (massive guitar chops and tone) brought me deeper into the classic british bands like creem, yard birds (that introduced me to jeff beck) and more blues and the great country players and artists (dont laugh, country players are phenominal and not this current crap thats out there), no, country, no eagles or the byrds or many great rolling stones cuts etc.. . I discovered classical music through uli jon roth, schenker and yngwie malmsteen and those guys COMPLETELY changed my guitar playing and phrasing and gave us SHRED). Turned me on to music theory, and had zillions of of musicians written all that early influence of classical, country and blues and jazz off as rubbish and old, YOUR music and mine would not be the same today, if at all. You guys are now seeing what made this generation so great and worthy of a listen. A point to concider: other people are doing 1st time listening stuff on the tube BUT....., you guys are on to something BIG and what and HOW you are doing it is what sets you guys soooo far above the others. I am 57 but when this music came out, i was your guys age or close to it. This music was coming at us buy the hour, all fresh and new and azz kicking. When i watch you two it is watching me and either a band mate or school buddy in those days firing up these albums, slapping the phones on and getting completely involved and blown away on what we were hearing for the FIRST TIME!! And i know there has been many others watching you guys who also get a bit choked up watching you two as it brings it all back, friends no longer with us, memories of our lives and what we were doing as younger people and BLOWN AWAY by the music we were hearing 1st time. Your show would not be the same with 2 balder, chunkier old dudes playing classic rock. I would be bored. But you guys are a HUGE part of the greatness of this show because of the pure innocence you bring of listening for the 1st time, just as we were when this music was released back in "the day". You need to keep this going because so many, young and old are loving it and your keeping this important music alive. You really have something special happening and dont be surprised if radio or tv gets a hold of you at some point. SECOND: Do an in depth episode just on your lives, Your music, hour influences as musicians. Your lives, school and hobies, chicks, upbringing because this will help many of us decide what music to recommend for you. And a bit of advice: dont label anything as "waste of time" or worthwhile. Even though there will be music recomended to you that isnt your cup of tea, but......, it may be a musical revelation to thousands of others and they run out the house go buy the cd/record as i am sure this album has done. Your opinion is great and its your right but dont lose the point on getting this music out there and keeping it alive. Music is important and its a huge part of many peoples lives and very deeply for many of us. Its right up there with religion and politics and treading respectfully (and i am not saying you were being disrespectful at all) is the best policy. Someone offering up a song or record thats dear to them and hoping you and others will feel can really be hurt over a statement as waste of time or unworthy, etc.... . Thats a fan killer. Just sayin'. NEXT: Work in an ALBUM show where its not just a song but a whole album. Tell me you were not dying to listene to all of bostons debut album after hearing just the first track? There are so many albums that deserve the whole listen rather than just a cut, like boston's first. And on many others the music on the record as a whole helps perspective on certain cuts. 2112 should have had side 2 played. I HIGHLY Recommend Black Sabbath's SABOTAGE as a full play as its one complete EPIC song!! No dead time between songs. Its an epic recording with great playing by all and ozzy's best singing.Tony Iommy's guitar playing is great with lots of tasty classical guitar in spots. Its frightening, melodic, angry, beautiful and heavy throuout. It's sabbath for sure but a more "grown up" sabbath. Most big time sabbath fans as myself have this as their fav sabbath record (including me). Plenty of cuts to recommend but they are more understood and magnified in context of the whole work. Killer cover also!! And to end this, have a LIVE ALBUM/CS/MP3 show like friday night live or something of that sort where a whole live album is played. Vinyl rules and always will but you have to stop and turn the record over which interrupts the groove so cd/mp3 is better. This album by UFO is a GREAT choice for that and rock bottom isnt the "best song" on it!! It has to be heard without interruption like the epic metal masterpiece of (early) Judas Priest's live set UNLEASHED IN THE EAST that changed metal forever and holds up to ANYTHING metal today!! The opening cut EXITER is the worlds introduction to Speed Metal. This was when Priest was the real deal (1978). And by the way, this UFO live album was also 1978. Anyhow, i am addicted to this show. I have a tad over 3,000 vinyl albums, a few hundred cd's of every classic rock record you can name and my musical tastes cover EVERY genre outside of hip hop. Please, dont hesitate to contact me for any info or suggestions. I am a music historian, professional guitar player, teacher, luthier, live sound engineer and owner of Sound-Sation audio recorders in arizona. Many of the musicians and even bands on your youtube site you play for us i know or have met. But again, i love you guys to death and you may not know it now, but what your doing and HOW your doing it is important. Keep it going and GROWING and never, ever forget......., GRANDPA'S ROCK!!! (grandma's too).
@Ben Hubar
Hey man real quick I wanted to explain my “I’m glad this wasn’t a waste of time”, I don’t think any music is a waste of time, it’s more because him and I are super busy and we struggle to find time to record and this track was a 10 minute commitment and the video itself didn’t have many views so from the content perspective it was a “risk” considering we only post 3 videos a week, I hope that makes sense. Secondly I’m really glad you enjoy the content that really is a motivator for us to continue! It’s hard to find time for recording/editing/reading and replying to comments but its comments like yours that really makes me love that we delegate time to this amazing project. And thank you so much for the suggestions regarding content options and ways we can go with it I really appreciate it. I’ll make sure to remember your user name so I’ll try to reply to all your comments if I see them which I try to read all the comments, cheers Ben! 🔥🤟🏻
@@andyandalex The gentleman above has insight. I feel transported by your show. You guys remind me of my college friends when you.lock eyes teleported and telepathic. Lol. And about Sabatage. I ran into an old friend's best friend who came to my house. He said I never took off my sunglasses while wearing my black t-shirt. I played him Sabatage for the first time and insisted he not say a word. I didn't have to. It melted his mind. It created a life long moment. Music is eternal. And you two are tapping right in! Rock on! And, if you want to go on a similar guitar ride try Tommy Bolin's "Post Toastee".
Into music I SURE AM TIL I DIE
I couldn't click on this one fast enough! UFO was my one of my fave bands when I was in High School in the 1970's. Excellent!! (btw, 'Doctor Doctor' & 'Mother Mary' are great tunes by them to check out.)
Great selection for your first time listening to UFO
If you like guitar shreddin, you gotta love this band!
Underrated band that never got the sales or publicity that they deserved in the US. Still recording and touring I believe. Check out Lights Out next. Michael Schenker, lead guitarist, was in the Scorpions too. He also did some good stuff with The Michael Schenker Group. MSG had a revolving door of legendary musicians playing for them. His brother is the rhythm guitarist for the Scorpions. Check out No One Like You from the Scorpions (Michael didn't play on it but it is a great song).
Michael Shenker is a very underrated guitarist but I have to disagree with what you stated. His brother, Rudolph is the lead guitarist for the Scorpions.
@@martincollis3567 Matthias is the primary lead guitarist and Rudolph plays lead on selected songs and rhythm on MOST songs. Get your facts correct if you are going to bother to correct someone on youtube...pathetic 😂😂😂
@@martincollis3567 unlike "remohio" i wont insult you.....but yeah mattias jabs plays most of scorpions leads. rudolph writes most all of the music and he does play a few leads. scorpions list of lead guitarists : michael schenker, uli roth, mattias jabs, in that order.
No longer touring, there are just two original members left alive. Pete Way died from car accident. Paul Chapman died a year before, and Paul Raymond has died as well. Just Moog and Parker are the only members still around.
99% of Scorpions music is blocked by their labels, unless you find a fan videotape, which is usually not very good. Most audience videos really suck.
Michael Schenker uses a wah pedal to get the tone that he gets. He doesn't use the wah-wah in your typical sense. He sets it at a certain point to get the tone he wants and leaves it there. Then his fantastic playing style with some help from his Dean Flying V.... his style is really mind-blowing.
Thats called the "cocked wah". A wah pedal is just a movable eq, rock it toe forward, you get lots of trebble. Rock the pedal back towrds your heal you get liw end bass tones. He had a sweet spot he found that highlighted the hi mid frequencies and every gig he wiuld find it and leave the pedal as is. He had songs he did yse the wah pedal on so he started marking the spot on the oedals feame and pedal so he could quickly re set it after the song. MARSHALL AMPS made the originall jcm 800 with that cocked wah tone influenced in the tone stack. Michael used those for years. As for the DEAN flying V, thats a newer thing. He used Gibson Flying V's on this recording (a black one (surprisingly) that he put seymour duncan vintage 59's in. It wasn't until about 10 years ago he he signed on with Dean (mostly because he had sold off or lost the gibson's in pawn shops during his era of extreme mental illness and drug abuse). Dean offered go make him one and ghe rest is (current) history!!
@@bennyh4950 actually I just read where Rudolph ended up with Michael's Gibson Flying V and that is one of the things they are both fighting about today.
@@bennyh4950 Hi Benny, the Gibson V he used in 1978 was white and was fitted with stock Gibson pickups which were Gibson T-Tops at that time. It was mid 1980's before he started using Seymour Duncan pickups.
I believe he lost his original Gibsons possibly through divorce as he ex-wife cleaned him out. But you might be right - he may have pawned them !
@@mc5869 The White V was originally Red with the medallion insert #56, it's on the back cover of the Force It album, in 1976 it was painted Black and fitted with a Black pickguard and Truss rod cover, it can be seen in the roundhouse videos from 1976, in late '76 early '77 he acquired another Black V with chrome pickup covers and larger headstock , this guitar features on roundhouse video's from 1977, during 1977, his original V was stripped of the Black paint and was then re painted all White, the White pickguard was re added, and the Black truss rod cover was kept, the guitar remained all White until it was smashed after Michael left UFO, it was then repaired and repainted in the V2 half White, half Black finish as seen on the 1979 German leg of the Lovedrive tour with the Scorpions and later again with MSG. After being smashed for a second time around 1982 it retained the half Black, half White finish but has very noticable metal plates holding the headstock together.
@@iltonwhite Hi Ilton, yes I was aware that he had repainted the medallion model previously. Sacrilege in my opinion but I do like his Gibson V's ! I always suspected that the black & white MSG era colour were inspired by the V2 rockets !
I think I read in Guitar Player magazine that one repair was done using drum sticks ? I could be wrong about that though. He said the guitar sounded better afterwards. Interesting !
Personally, I prefer the UFO/MSG tone to the Deans.
Hell yeah...UFO. I love it when you guys branch out to other, less obvious classic bands.
@Eric Erickson
Gotta explore all over ya know?! 🔥🤟🏻
@@andyandalex maybe check out the Groundhogs? th-cam.com/video/fpDAYpG600A/w-d-xo.html
To keep "off track" try the band Nazareth ... Whiskey Drinking woman, Miss Misery, Hair of the Dog. Or J. Geils Band - Must of Got Lost.
Sweet LORD - Michael Schenker play that guitar like his life depended on it. One of my favourite guitarplayers of all time... Love his tone and the kind of unexpected turns in the guitarsolo. And later of course we were blessed with MSG... \m/
Roy clark was better.
Many people including Mike MacReady from Pearl Jam consider Strangers in the Night the greatest live album ever. I agree
Michael Schenker was 23 years old on this recording. His debut album with UFO was Phenomenon in 1974 (when he was 19) All the names of the day Blackmore, Page, Iommi etc etc knew this lad was something a bit special. When you can, check out the Scorpions debut album Lonesome Crow (1971) with a school age Schenker tearing it up.
good knowledge... Michael and I were born in 1955 as old as Rock and Roll...yep and Amen.
What about no heavy petting?
Amazing band
You found the Holy Grail of Rock and Roll.... the riff in Rock Bottom will stay with you forever. Andy Parker on drums... the amazing Paul Raymond on keys and guitar (RIP). Michael Schenker is considered the greatest rock guitar player of all time.
Michael Schenker is near the bottom 10....The Country guitarist Roy Clark was Better....So was Clapton and Phil Lynot. The Guitarist from Blue Oyster Cult was Better and so was Stevie Ray Vaughn. And throw in Jimmy Hendrix. Schenker is probably 10th or 11th ranked. As a Bass Guitarist Entwhistle was also more talented than Schenker.
Most melodic, beautiful, shredding, other worldly guitar solos of all time!!! Michael Schenker =God!
Paul Raymond on Keys, sadly passed in April this year.
UFO - one of the heaviest English rock bands of the later 1970's, great musicians and fantastic albums. I bought all of them when they were issued and never regretted buying any of them ! Thanks for reviewing them, lads ! 😋 (Tip - listen to the studio albums).
No heavy petting,Phenomenon were both awesome
Not English, German
@@toddbaker1574 English. Schenker was the German who joined the English band several years after their formation.
Glad to see that you discovered UFO. I was listening to " Love to Love" this morning.. Rock on!
One of the things that I love about your reaction videos as compared to others is that you don't talk through the videos like others do. Thumbs up!!!
Never was a huge fan of theirs but "Love to Love" is an all time classic in my book.
Listen to Walk On Water. Trust me 👍🏻
UFO was a great hard rock band that helped us thru the second half of the 70s , when heavy music wasn’t in style ...Phenomenon , Force It, No Heavy Petting ( my favorite), Lights Out, Obsession ... this Live LP
Saw UFO in concert several times. Was one of my favorite live bands.
Along with Humble Pie, the most underrated ‘70s rock band. Every album through Obsession is classic.
You "popped" a memory bubble. College parties. Didn't know what the heck their name was. This is part of the foundation fellas! Andy, nice to point out that this is Live. They didn't have all of the monitors and "back ups" of today. Flew by the seat of their pants & had to be good musicians. Enjoyed the reaction guys. Have a good day! :)
You have to listen to UFO love to love, and lights out. This is coming from a Rush fan these guys are really good!!!
Fucking awesome. Finally a reaction to what is one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you
This band is so freaking underrated! 🤘🏼
One of Steve Harris main influences....Maiden opens every show with Doctor Doctor...when you hear that song come over the PA at a Maiden Show you know its go time.
Listen to the studio version of Rock Bottom. from Phenomenon in 1974
the whole album is a masterpiece , Phenomenon ,
Saw Maiden open for UFO at The Long Beach Sports Arena early 80's. Life changing.
Strangers in the Night is such a good live album. My favourite from it is Love to Love. I hope you'll get a chance to react to it too.
The absolute best live album ever made. Michael Shanker was 18 or so when this was made.
23....
17 when he joined the band....
The great melodic playing of a 23 year old Michael Schenker. Man it’s like he never stops. He had a certain flow. He’s not flashy, he would stand in one spot on stage, head hanging down looking at his Flying V and rarely looking up.
You've heard this kind of thing before because this is where it started.This came out in the mid 70's and this is the roots of speed metal. This is pre Metalica. If you put it in that context you can see how ground breaking this really is.
Possibly the flashiest pre-Van Halen rock player. No wang bar or finger tapping, just awesome jammin'.
This is the best hard rock live album ever recorded !! I saw RUSH and UFO on tour when I was 13yo and this solo has stuck with me. The solo has more emotion and feeling than any of Vahalens or Malmsteens and many others !!
And Schenker is one of the best fillet guitarists that I have ever heard. Dude was so talented at such an early age.
Yes!!! Man this album was huge for me when I was younger - and still in my list today!
First time seeing you guys. This was my old man’s music growing up, but he taught me well. One of my favorite albums of all time!!
🤘🏻
I saw them on the tour this was released, Schenker had left and Paul Chapman from Lone Star was on guitar. He did a good job, but Schenker is a god.
About time you boys hit UFO and Michael Schenker! More essential UFO: "Pack It Up and Go" from Obsession, "Lights Out" from Lights Out, "Natural Thing" from No Heavy Petting, and "Only You Can Rock Me," "Doctor Doctor" and "Love to Love" from Strangers In The Night.
Schenker is a deep artist. In my youth I was drawn in immediately. Nice to see 40 years later he can still capture the ear of a new gen.
I am so happy you guys listened to this!!! UFO is superb, also on the Phenomenon album, written by Michael Schenker & vocalist Phil Mogg is "Doctor Doctor", if you haven't heard it you'll enjoy. I love Mogg's vocals and Schenker awww hell what can I say, brilliant guitarist. He played with the Scorpions early on, another band in my top 5. Check out UFO's Light's Out album, so great!! The title track is amazing, also "Love to Love", "Too Hot to Handle" just to name a couple of great tracks on the album. Thanks guys, made my day!
Late 70's was a great time for rock. You had the a double punch in the Schenker brothers in UFO and Scorpions.
@4:27 You NEVER hear songwriting like this anymore...this was common in the 70s rock era in concerts...no more. extended guitar solos died out. UFO Obsession is a masterpiece! Michael Schenker if just known for this would be legend. Phil Moog's vocals as underrated as any rock singer...Andy Parker's drumming perfection...when records were recorded the right way...yes, this is worth a listen.
In October, UFO starts their final tour of the US. 50 years of fantastic music.
UFO is the most underrated rock band of the 70s an early 80s my I was lucky to see them 8 times with AC/DC great rock shows
Other UFO: Love to Love, This Kids, Mother Mary, Lights Out
Love to Love from that same live album. My favorite UFO song.
Love your videos ! I am 57 and grew up with this music. When I was 16 saw them from the second row. Every song on this live album is incredible. I recommend Lights Out and Love to Love
At last a track I and many more suggested Rock Bottom fantastic and very underated band.
Doctor Doctor, Only You Can Rock Me are also classic from this album I recently bought this album second hand vinyl on EBay for £10. which was a steal especially for a double album.
Great guitar riffs glad to see your Rockin' Reaction guys.
Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.
Schenker!!!!! Totally amazing player. You have to check out Sails of Charon with Uli John Roth. He used to be in The Scorpions too
Classic song and very ahead of its time!
I second Sails Of Cheron by scorpions as you guys next listen. Then afterwards, go see the video of it here on you tube. The history of classical/rock guitar is as follows: ritchie blackmore was the first to showcase it. But gave us just a taste. Then Ulrich (uli jon these days) Roth was discovered in scorpions and neo classical shred was born and his playing is STILL as good if not better than anyone else playing it today. Soooo melodic. Scorpions live album Tokyo Tapes is Uli Roth's spotlight if that era, save this for my recomendation of featuring a live album once a week or so as i suggested earlier). Then came Michael Schenker who was a student of Roth's in germany very early on). Michaels neo classical is most present in his melodies and scale choices but still has the blues and pentatonic flavor of the times mixed in. But MANY guitar players were first introduced to classical influenced playing by mr schenker (as i was). Then...... came the atomic bomb that sent neo classical into the stratosphere and put shred on the map and COMPLETELY changed the game and lead guitar playing in general forever. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN!! Like the man or not (i have met him 2x and both instances he was very pleasent and surprisingly funny!! Every single shredder today owes yngwie a great deal of thanks and as ritchie blackmore famously said in 1985, "thank god for yngwie malmsteen". He put the genre on the map, played like NO ONE else and made thousands of kids run out sign up for classical guitar lessons and buy bach and pagannini cd's. He upped the game by leaps and bounds and gave rock guitar the maturity it drastically needed breaking up the tapping trickery EVERY guitar player in that era was wearing out courtesy (and to the chagrin) of edward vanhalen. But, unfortunately, everyone copped on yngwie and wore out HIS art and His style. Yeah, thanks to the internet, there are thousands of jr high school kids who can play yngwie's stuff (as well as all the other current shredders) but i always regress to the inventors and innovators of neo classical & shred, blackmore, roth, schenker and yngwie. None of them sound the same. Make fun all you want of yngwie, the mans age, clothes, personality but it's one thing to copy, and another to INVENT. Every shredder and every fan of shred/neo classical owes it all to yngwie malmsteen. Like his shoes or not.
@@bennyh4950 Well said and I would add that Yngwie came from a family of Classical musicians, and had a good understanding of it compared with all the other clone shredders, who merely copied and pasted fragments into their playing without knowing or appreciating the origins of Classical music. I met Yngwie in 1996 and found him to be a very warm, friendly and funny guy too. Maybe his solo spot in the 1984 Alcatrazz concert might be worth a reaction video, as this hit the guitar world like an asteroid back then. th-cam.com/video/nMjzGqmY7sM/w-d-xo.html
Yes gotta hear Sails of Charon from SCORPIONS
I 3rd Sails of Charon. A masterpiece!
At last, you've got around to UFO ☺ Schenker is my guitar hero and one of the reasons that I play guitar.
You need, now, to check out Thin Lizzy, preferably the studio album versions of Black Rose and Chinatown...please!
Love seeing your reactions to bands I know and love, It makes this old guy happy 😊
Thanks for the UFO review, would recommend Love to Love or Lights Out from Strangers In The Night also. Michael Schenker never received the recognition he deserved, but influenced many guitarists such as Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde.
There's something about faithfully capturing the ambient sounds of a raucous, unruly rock and roll audience in a huge barn along with a great hard rock band that really appeals to me. This record among many others. Fond memories, indeed.
The ultimate combo drums, keyboards, vocals, bass and MS on guitar. Rock on lads.
Great choice. Always loved UFO. A driving guitar intro gets me every time. Love it. 👏🏻
check out the live version of "Lights Out" on this album.....Rockin!!!!
UFO is a true bands band.
You guys must check out the album versions of Doctor Doctor, Oh my, and let it roll. This is some of UFOs best bangers from their hey day. I know I’m late to this one, but bands like UFO, Foghat snd early Cheap Trick are riddled with Bangers.
The best solo has to be 'try me' is a ballard but a killer.
ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER! RIGHT UP THERE WITH"LIVE AND DANGEROUS" BY THIN LIZZY!
Sweet. Well done yet again gentlemen.
UFO! Rock Bottom 1974! Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Love to Love! Among many...
seen these guys in march 1981. they warmed up for Ozzy at the boutwell auditorium in birmingham alabama. they were really really good. it was my first time hearing this band. I bought all their stuff I could find. Ozzy's band was Randy Rhoades, Rudy Sarzo, and Tommy Aldridge and of course Ozzy. I paid $12 for the ticket and it was general admission. I was 10 feet from the stage. awsome awsome.....lol
Schenker also played in the Scorpions, another 70s/80s band you need to check out! Scorpions were more popular than UFO, possibly because Scorpions had songs in heavy rotation on MTV. Michael was not with Scorpions when they were at their peak, but his brother Rudolph has been a primary member since the early 70s.
Liked because this is one of the first Rock Bands I ever saw live back in 1980! They opened for Cheap Trick. Awesome show! Great song!
Alex and Andy, you might like ROBIN TROWER's Too Rolling Stoned. Check out the live version...
Omg Robin Trower❤💕❤💕That whole "Bridge of Sighs" album. In fact thats going to be the album I listen to today- im in that mood lol.
UFO is from my era of listening to music in my late teens but for some reason I had missed out on them. I have tried to recently go back and listened to some of their studio stuff but it does sound ‘dated’ to me. My first time hearing this whole song. I thought the first couple minutes were kind of boring and I wouldn’t have listened to the whole thing if not for your channel. When the song gets into the jam/solo section it really rocks! 8.0
- Thanks guys🤘🏼
You've got to do more UFO reactions, they are so underrated. Strangers in the Night is one of the top 5 live albums of all time in my opinion!
UFO certainly among the most underrated if not the most underrated of the hard rock bands of that period. Great songs, Schenker's guitar mastery and great live performers.
This album made me a guitar player long ago. Michael Schenker blew me away and now I`m a shredder and I owe it all to Michael and the 40 plus years of hard work and practice.
“I’m a Loser” is the best song on this album imo
Absolutely.
8:15 to 9:15 That guitar tone, those bends, the shredding and the harmonies with the keyboard... phenomenal !!!
I was supposed to go to this concert in Chicago. I had tickets, I was a kid, there was a girl I had a huge crush on so I sold my tickets and went to the skating rink instead. She was with another guy. What a regret!!!!
I missed original Guns and Roses and Aerosmith for the same reason....but I ended up marrying my girl😌
Saw this incarnation of UFO together with Blue Oyster Cult in 1978 from the 3rd Row. One of the best concerts EVER. Both bands tore it up that night.
God this mix is so great, drums are powerful and hard hitting and the vocals sit perfect
The Most Epic "Train Wreck " endings to an equally Epic Live performance.... Ever! Thumbs up for reaction replay for me ... after me personally experiencing UFO live in Oakland over 40 years ago! I love UFO!
Your Welcome, Schenker was 15 on Scorpions Lonesomecrow. Played live for Scorpions and Ufo on tour when he was 16. Then 1974 Ufo 1st album with Michael Schenker Phenomenon at 17.Which has 2 classics Rock Bottom and Doctor Doctor. Then Force it and No Heavy Petting all without any keyboards and true great albums. Then 2 of the top 10 albums in rock, Lights Out and Obessesion. Then at 22 The BEST Live album ever Strangers In The Night. No overdubs No BS. Straight Live, You can here miscues and Feedback. Listen to Rock Bottom Studio version. Complete different Lead break. Schenker plays by shear SOUL. His lead breaks during songs changes every night, depending on how hes feeling. He has his basics and plays the rest on felling and emotion. When he finally got Paul Raymond , RIP , his best rhythm guitarist and keyboards player things really took off for Schenker, he was called GOD by rock fans. Listen to Lights Out and Obsession albums to see UFOs Genius. They were thought to be the next Led Zepplin or Black Sabbath till Schenker Went his own way. They were on the cusp of Superstardom. Listen to Strangers whole album. Listen to Lights Out 2 lead breaks will floor you as with a lot of their songs and solos. Try Natural Thing to start the Live album. Hello Chicago, Will You Please Welcome From England U F O. Schenker did no flashy shit. He played standing there with his Black Gibson Flying V. Some of the musicians he influenced, Iron Maiden, Zakk Wilde, Def Leppard, Metallica, Pearl Jam and on and on. Thanks and CHEERS AGAIN. Keep digging into UFO, even after Schenker left, Paul Chapman and UFO made a few Great albums just not quite to the Schenker years. UFO and Schenker did a couple albums in the mid 90s. Walk On Water is another UFO classic
Excellent live music. Bass player is banging. Shenker was so underrated. ☮️
Love UFO and so glad you guys reacted to them. Next song - “Hot-N-Ready”. Talk about guitar shredding! Thanks guys for the great reaction!
One of my very favorite live albums. Love to Love, Natural Thing, Too hot to Handle, Ligjts Out...
Great guitar all the way through.
The whole album is so amazingly well-engineered. Every song is basically killer. I remember cruising around listening to this with friends, almost blowing out the speakers in my friend's truck. Almost getting in trouble :) The music carried us on!
Get in there! I told you lads you'd not regret it :)
If you listen to any of UFO songs a few times you'll understand why we love them. Thanks for trying.
UFO! Also from Strangers; Lights Out, Mother Mary. Love to Love too but I like the studio version more, you just have to get past the first 45 seconds.
Keyboards by Paul Raymond who died recently and he played guitar as well. Need to play Doctor Doctor
Great video, guys. I quite enjoyed that. I'd never heard of UFO which surprises me because I'm very aware of guitarist Michael Schenker (I searched UFO). Now I need to look up the lyrics. Thanks for the introduction.
One of the best live albums of all time! Try the live versions of Doctor Doctor, Love To Love, and Too Hot To Handle. Saw UFO in concert in 1978. Great concert! They opened for Blue Oyster Cult...Listen to cuts from the Obsession album as well..
