UFO is good without Schenker, I prefer Schenker, but Vinnie does a fine job. I just got Vinnie's new solo album last night, haven't heard a lick of that yet....
Michael is an essential presence, but it's a diservice to Phil Mog to say they suck now...he's the real heart of UFO. I love the Michael era stuff, but it's not like they died after he left. They are still a good band.

I didn't say they sucked? I saw them live with Vinnie a couple of years back and I was impressed with their performance I was even more impressed with how well Phil has held up. Are UFO better off without Schenker? The current Schenker yes, because unfortunately he's on the verge of killing his career.
It's sad. You can't beat the classic stuff, that's what they will always be known for.

I told Phil in Palo Alto, Ca in 97'? "I don't care who is on guitar I will always buy UFO records as long as he is singing" & Michael quit the next day........
So once again I look forward to there new release.

No, you were very complementary. I was just answering the general non-Schenker UFO bashing out there today. I agree with you that they are still good, and got your point.

It would be nice to see if Pete will get his health and Visa issues sorted out. That would be fantastic!!!! I'd also love it if Jason Bonham came back... He fit the band pretty well.
Sounds pretty good, how come Im somehow getting a south western blues boogie feel from the samples ?

They surely not died when he left cause while I enjoy the Schenker discs a lot, my faves are from the Paul Chapman era: The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent (1981) as well as No Place To Run (1980).The 2 albums with Vinne Moore are OK at best IMO, with only a handful of songs I really enjoyed. They've become less "hard rocking" with him I guess and I feel he's not that great as songwriter. But these samples from The Visitor sound promising.
And yes, Phil Mogg is a very underrated singer. The guy must be 60 and he still sounds excellent.

I was impressed with his perfromance on the Showtime DVD so when they blew through town I had to see 'em even if Way wasn't there....
For a guy in his 60's he sounds fucking great.

Obviously the Schenker era stuff is my fave as it's what I grew up on. But UFO always had remarkable guitar players. They might not have been Schenker (even Schenker hasn't been Schenker for awhile now), but Chapman did a great job and I think Vinnie Moore is a great fit for UFO.
One of the most consistent rock bands in history IMO.

I wasn't too fond of the era with the Japanese guitarist...
As you can tell I never bought any of that stuff. I bought a DVD years ago that featured him and I think I gave it away. Not too impressed with that era. Vinnie Moore is a huge upgrade compared to that era.

I remember hearing an old UFO record once when i was drunk all i remember was the guitars were awesome.

I fucking hope you're referring to a Schenker era record and not an Atomik Tommy....

Tommy wasn't that bad! He just played on their softer commercial albums and never had a chance to shine much on guitar. Also, Misdemeanor holds a special place in my heart...I got laid alot to that album from this one really cute chick who loved UFO.

That's why you liked that guitarist you relate it to getting pussy....
US tour dates. They were great last year in SF, or was it the year before? I'm there again this year. Not too many more chances to see these guys, I'm guessing.
