I can’t even stomach that Axl version.

Oh well.

God bless America and God bless President Bush.

im not huge on it either.

You know what UFO song i fucking hate, that will get all the diehard's and guitar nerds panties in a real twist? Rock Bottom.
Verse line is nothing special. Chorus is boring as fuck, just 2 words repeated. Guitar solo? Who gives a fuck about long guitar solos?

Differing opinion? I cant wait a day. I dont care what you say.

It's total ass.

UFO have a couple good ones - that ain't one of em.

It’s better when Axl sings it

Quireboys did a good cover of the song, cuts out the dated instrumentation of the original.

Your musical taste has always been in your bung. This is just another log in the fireplace.

Do they really have any good songs?

I like it a lot. The famous UFO song that I tend to skip (because it bores me) is Doctor Doctor.

Axl butchers the shit out of it. It’s good when Phil sings it but they are like the Dolls, highly influential but not all that good.

The solo at the end has me pulling out the air guitar every time

The only tolerable song they have done.

Nah. The REALLY good UFO songs are Lights Out, Out In the Street, Self-Made Man, Only You Can Rock Me, The Wild The Willing & The Innocent, Natural Thing, Pushed To The Limit, Dead Man Walking, and Sea of Faith.

They had nearly and album's worth of songs better than Doctor Doctor.

I love UFO, maybe it's an European thing.... I like that Moggs Motel album Mogg just released as well.

UFO was always "almost good".

IMO their best song is We Belong To The Night, but that song could have been made by Judas Priest

Chip, can you stomach Lights Out, Natural Thing, Doctor and OYCRM?

I’m surprised you can stomach Bang Tango and Bon Jovi but not these guys.

Love them or hate them, you have to respect how influential they were on Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Diamond Head, Motley Crue, Accept, Metallica, GNR, Skid Row and your boys in Bang Tango to name a few

Used to do this song in a cover band, fun to play! Pete Way seemed like the secret sauce for that band though, without him meh, and that was 40+ years ago. I'll take Michael Schenker solo over UFO any day.

Speaking of which what is up with Schenker's fuzzy hat? I know the guy is completely bonkers but it looks way too warm to wear on the regular. Can't he get some kind of hair system? Is it glued to his head like Slash? I don't get it.

Maybe he was a 4 Non Blondes fan.

Oh, the irony.

really?

to each his own, of course, but I always thought that was one of the "purest" U.F.O. tracks.

not to be confused with "purist."

Amazing song.

great tune, always loved it. Your choice, all good
