040879 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 If you really have to own something by UFO in 2007/8, I'd suggest the live recording 'Strangers In The Night.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kichwa Tembo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have a couple of their songs. I have to say, they are very under rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshmint Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Pretty good stuff... I have heard some of their songs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I used to have "strangers in the Night" on vinyl, lost it somewhere along the way... I've got "Headstone: The Best Of UFO" on vinyl still, and the first three studio albums on CD. The first two are are not very well appreciated, not even by the band, but I really like them. This is a song called "Boogie" from the first album "UFO1": And the classic "Rock Bottom" from the third album "Phenomenon": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qP_OqOJ8ug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I used to have "strangers in the Night" on vinyl, lost it somewhere along the way... Well, play.com have another sale on and I was having a browse through the rock/metal CD's where I saw it for £3.99! I ordered it straight away, can't wait to hear it again.

IGG Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Reading this thread made me realize that I always combine tunes from UFO and Uriah heep in my head ....that being said, I've long liked the song Lights Out by UFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yeh I liked them, i saw them in 1985 at Knebworth Festival when they supported Deep Purple !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Phenomenon and Lights Out were both really great albums. I saw them on their '73 (or '74?) tour and they were really really good. I've lost track of them completely though. It's nice to see they're still around. Regards; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 From RollingStone.com Fricke’s Picks: UFO In June 1973, the British hard-rock quartet UFO landed in Germany for a tour — as a trio, because their guitarist suddenly quit. UFO had already gone through two other guitarists since forming in 1969. But it was fourth time lucky when singer Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way and drummer Andy Parker borrowed local teenage dynamo Michael Schenker, then in Scorpions, for the German dates. Schenker soon joined UFO full time, flanking Mogg’s tough-glam bray with meaty, melodic riffing, and charging the band’s boogie locomotion with lethal, articulate soloing on a run of albums — 1974’s Phenomenon, 1975’s Force It and 1976’s No Heavy Petting, all reissued with bonus tracks (Chrysalis/EMI) — that became holy text for the spandex boys just around the bend, including Def Leppard, Iron Maiden and Guns n’ Roses. UFO were, at the start, better jammers than composers (ballads were essentially breathers between cannonballs), and Phenomenon opens tentatively: “Oh My” sounds like it reads. But that album’s heavy-Yardbirds assaults, “Doctor Doctor” and “Rock Bottom,” are two of UFO’s — and Schenker’s — best moments on record. By Force It, the writing was sharper (”Let It Roll,” “Shoot Shoot”) and bolder (”Out in the Street”). No Heavy Petting came with keyboards and a poised mix of crunch and radio-wise pop that paid off in later FM hits like “Lights Out” and “Only You Can Rock Me.” Those two songs are on The Best of UFO (1974-1983) (Capitol), out soon to coincide with a U.S. tour by the current lineup of UFO (which will not include Schenker, who has been in and out of the band a few times since 1979). That set has everything for the novice, but the reissues — with seventeen extra tracks spread over them, including period demos, outtakes and hot, live juice — are the real phenomenon.

SteveAJones Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I saw UFO perform many times in Europe with Jason Bonham on drums and Vinnie Moore on guitar. They brought a cool new dynamic to the band and each performance was sensational. Phil Moog was absolutely phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
