UFO - Rock Bottom (REACTION!)

[@thejudge3715]

UFO's live album "Strangers In The Night" is widely considered one of the greatest live albums of all time. That entire album is worth a reaction.

Yep, UFO was a well-established Space Rock band at the time they heard his work on Scorpions first album, Lonesome Crow, in 1972, and asked him to join them. He joined them, creating UFO’s golden age, 1974-9. Scorpions went on, replacing him with Uli Roth, creating their first golden age, also 1974-9. Both bands were hard to beat and its hard to find a weak track between them, in the 70s!

What you are witnessing here is a 17 year old German kid, who joined a British Rock band who failed with their first 3 albums, when he joined and helped to write the songs on this album, his talent as a guitarist is profound, it is there for you all to hear.

I recently asked my dad what bands he listened to from the 70s/80s that weren't really well remembered or well known in the mainstream, whether I'd heard them when I was a kid with him and forgotten, or never heard them because he listened to them before I was really around. I just wanted to hear the real shit the hardcores listened to. I always listened to fringe offshoot genres & punk rock, alternative stuff after the grunge era, lesser known nu metal bands, etc., growing up. This was the first band he thought of. I remember them from being a kid, but mostly from him having the cassettes. They're really pretty good for an era I'm not real big on in rock - 70s to mid 80s, and like a lot of more modern music, I really wonder why they weren't one of the super huge bands of the time. They were known, but not huge. They were definitely creative for the time. Listening to them definitely feels like discovering (or kind of rediscovering in my case, as I was so young when he used to play them) the vibe of the era for real. You can feel the weight of the moment in rock & roll in one of it's most expansive & influential periods. You can feel it taking you into a new era, but we have the foresight now of seeing where it was going to take us, which makes it kind of cooler. You can hear the building blocks toward the iconic artists & songs of the mid 70's through early 90's. Not really a big live album person, but that live album everyone always mentions, "Strangers In The Night", is pretty electric. Michael Schenker definitely goes off.

Dave just released his album, you should check out one of the songs called - In The Fire. Definitely should listen to the full album also even if it isn’t an reaction.

[@edwelch3723]

I 2nd this, also they should give Avelino’s mixtape “Ego Kills” a listen

[@mikeandersonjr.4996]

^^^ third this. In The Fire, We’re All Alone and Heart Attack would all be great listens and I’d love to hear the guys break it down

[@mikenastasi8927]

Dave who?

[@vinceblasco]

Seeing this pop up in my Patreon alerts made me SO HAPPY. Michael Schenker is a beast. Y’all should really check out Love to Love by UFO. It’s probably their magnum opus. Just make sure you listen to the 2008 remaster as the mix is considerably more clear and even.

Schenker's soloing was on another level on the light out live album. Sooo much better than the studio track.

[@childofthemosthighgod1995]

I'm so glad you hear the beauty of Michael Schenker. James Hetfield and Kirk Hammit and Dave Mustaine idolized Michael Schenker. They had his poster up on their walls back in the day. I fell in love with UFO when I was 13... because of the guitarist...I'm 56 today and still love Michael Schenker always and forever...o and he is the younger brother of Rudy Schenker of the Scorpions

About the technology thing Joe walsh (eagles’ guitarist) once said that if they had computers, they will be still recording the Hotel California solo. What you said is on point.
