[@raymontenegro3867]

I absolutely love this song , I'm 54 in the mid 80's I went to Baldwin park high, few years later when my little brother was just there, they had a talent show we had a metal band and did our version of light out on steroids , I played lead guitar using my Yamaha amp also plugged into a peavey TNT base amp, it sounded soo badass when we started lights out it was so freaking heavy some parents grabbed their kids and ran out of the auditorium, it sounded like a war of helicopters landings on the roof, awesome memories I listen to this song several times a week and never get tired of it , Rock On !!!!!

[@robertmcpeek1343]

Most underrated Heavy Metal group of all time-- MSG’s solo on Rock Bottom is in my top 5 of all time , not just because of his awesome ability but the whole band contributes on it, the “ walking “ baseline , rhythm guitar not overpowering but heavy, and the complete song chord change .... nearly perfect- I get emotional when I hear it !!!!!

Got to see em live with this line-up......EPIC!! But, this isn't the original studio track......very cool, but not the version released on the album.

[@1groovygreg]

The power and finesse behind Michael Schenker’s guitar is unsurpassed. He must be considered to be among the elite guitarists of all time.

[@Sabbathman1979]

I'm a belated UFO fan, but nonetheless I consider this song to be one of the greatest rockers UFO ever made. I love their classic 1973-1979 period, but I was first introduced to UFO by the '85 Misdemeanour live DVD which is an amazing live document. I just got the new 5CD Chrysalis Years 1973-1979 box set from EMI for a price of one new CD, I think it's great thing to have these classic albums at last...

Agreed! I still fight with my friends about which version is the best. Thankful this one exists on YT, very hard to find unless you know exactly what you're looking for in this particular version.

[@xsited1]

I saw them with Rush in the 70s. Before coming on stage they played a UFO-type intro. I’d never heard of them before, but was so impressed that after the concert I made it a point to listen to every one of their songs I could find.

[@davidturner4914]

During the late 70's and early 80's we played this song and it was always a blast. So many great Memories. Music today will never compare with jams of the 70's. Peace, Love and Rock N Roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!
