UFO - Rock Bottom Live | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Was a killer first track from UFO! Fantastic live performance! Hope you guys are having a great week thus far and if not then this vid should cheer ya right up! Peace! ✌🏻🔥

When people ask who's the most underrated band of all time, the answer is Ufo.

Congratulations! You've just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded in the history of Rock!

Hallelujah! Welcome to the wonderful world of Michael Schenker!

More UFO; Lights Out, Doctor Doctor, Too Hot to Handle, Only You Can Rock Me and Love to Love. Live versions.

One of my favourite live albums, ever. Michael Schenker still plays this live, and he is BETTER THAN EVER. And I'm proud to say, my friend now plays second guitar and keyboards in his band, MSG.

UFO deserves to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Schenker is amazing!

You guys should have been there.You cannot even Imagine the onslaught of pushed air from the amps at this show, your hair would blow back....it literally shook your organs inside your body...my ears rang for days, and it was awesome the whole damn time.

Finally some UFO...gotta do Lights Out, Doctor doctor, Only you can rock me... You guys rock!

This entire live album is amazing and ranks alongside Thin Lizzy 'Alive & Dangerous', Kiss 'Alive 1', Blue Oyster Cult 'Some Enchanted Evening' as iconic live albums of my youth . More please guys !!

I saw UFO in 1979 at the California world music festival, they put on a great live show, they made Aerosmith sound like a GarageBand.

You found UFO with some early Michael Schenker.. Your gonna love his later work in MSG. Attack of the Mad Axe Man.

Great hard rocking riff and solo. Recorded in 78 and released in 79. Michael Schenker is one of the most influential guitarists of the era, Kirk Hammet, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell and many others have listed him as an influence.

Great selection for your first time listening to UFO

Slash of Guns N Roses has said this is his favorite live album of all time Specifically this song he Loves, you can probably see why...

Underrated band that never got the sales or publicity that they deserved in the US. Still recording and touring I believe. Check out Lights Out next. Michael Schenker, lead guitarist, was in the Scorpions too. He also did some good stuff with The Michael Schenker Group. MSG had a revolving door of legendary musicians playing for them. His brother is the rhythm guitarist for the Scorpions. Check out No One Like You from the Scorpions (Michael didn't play on it but it is a great song).

If you like guitar shreddin, you gotta love this band!

Phil Mogg is one amazing singer that to this day has never lost his voice and will be retiring soon. Marc Storace of Krokus is another must hear.

Most melodic, beautiful, shredding, other worldly guitar solos of all time!!! Michael Schenker =God!

You can't go wrong with any song from this album, "Lights Out" is probably the most known song. The lead guitarist is one of the best. Schenker is known for playing a V, which has that bright, mid-rangy tone. I just read that Schenker played with a wah permanently half cocked to emphasize that mid.

Great reaction to an epic track. The keyboard player is Paul Raymond. Fantastic musician. Sadly , died recently , just after the last UFO UK show. RIP.

You found the Holy Grail of Rock and Roll.... the riff in Rock Bottom will stay with you forever. Andy Parker on drums... the amazing Paul Raymond on keys and guitar (RIP). Michael Schenker is considered the greatest rock guitar player of all time.

Michael Schenker was 23 years old on this recording. His debut album with UFO was Phenomenon in 1974 (when he was 19) All the names of the day Blackmore, Page, Iommi etc etc knew this lad was something a bit special. When you can, check out the Scorpions debut album Lonesome Crow (1971) with a school age Schenker tearing it up.

I couldn't click on this one fast enough! UFO was my one of my fave bands when I was in High School in the 1970's. Excellent!! (btw, 'Doctor Doctor' & 'Mother Mary' are great tunes by them to check out.)

UFO - one of the heaviest English rock bands of the later 1970's, great musicians and fantastic albums. I bought all of them when they were issued and never regretted buying any of them ! Thanks for reviewing them, lads ! 😋 (Tip - listen to the studio albums).

Paul Raymond on Keys, sadly passed in April this year.

YOU PLAYED IT!! AWSOME!! I am the guy who recommended this a few days back. Dont know which is which on your names but the kid on the left (from viewer perspective) got it right and for the right reason, he 9.5'd it and made the statement that "giving it's time it was made" as part of his rating and he is right. And ANYTHING classic rock (1965-1989) needs that perspective. I recommend this cut because it's one of rock's premiere LIVE moments and fearures Michael Schenker's ungodly tone and command of his instrument (plus the rest of that stellar band). And kudo's to the guy on the right, the long haired one for recognizing how great the drummer is on this (andy parker). Shows real depth in his musical taste and listening. The other reason i wanted you to feature this is how IMPORTANT this album is in ROCK GUITAR history and its right up there with Jimi's and EVH and Yngwie Mallmsteens debut albums and how they flat changed so many things. Now, this record is not on the change the game level those debute records were but it opened the ears and fingers of almost every guitar player after it. All your guitar hero's are directly or indirectly influenced by this album and probably have it in their music collection. There are a handful of TONE godz in guitar history known not just for chops but for the players tone and so many guitar players have been trying to emulate for decades namely Jimi Hendrix, Leslie West from mountain (famous song mississippi queen and huge influence on schenker) Carlos Santana and Michael Shenker and Billy Gibbons (early zz topp). These are the HOLY GRAIL of guitar TONE and dominate in places where tone is discsussed and guitar/amp/effects/pickup manufacturers base their info and products off of. These guys changed the game in TONE. A couple things i would like to add/recommend: First, what you guys are doing is IMPORTANT, on many levels. This music, ALL music should never be forgotten. Just because a song was done in a certain year shouldnt be a cause to not listen. Led Zepp made me find the blues guitar greats and how it influenced them and then me. Lynyrd Skynyrd (massive guitar chops and tone) brought me deeper into the classic british bands like creem, yard birds (that introduced me to jeff beck) and more blues and the great country players and artists (dont laugh, country players are phenominal and not this current crap thats out there), no, country, no eagles or the byrds or many great rolling stones cuts etc.. . I discovered classical music through uli jon roth, schenker and yngwie malmsteen and those guys COMPLETELY changed my guitar playing and phrasing and gave us SHRED). Turned me on to music theory, and had zillions of of musicians written all that early influence of classical, country and blues and jazz off as rubbish and old, YOUR music and mine would not be the same today, if at all. You guys are now seeing what made this generation so great and worthy of a listen. A point to concider: other people are doing 1st time listening stuff on the tube BUT....., you guys are on to something BIG and what and HOW you are doing it is what sets you guys soooo far above the others. I am 57 but when this music came out, i was your guys age or close to it. This music was coming at us buy the hour, all fresh and new and azz kicking. When i watch you two it is watching me and either a band mate or school buddy in those days firing up these albums, slapping the phones on and getting completely involved and blown away on what we were hearing for the FIRST TIME!! And i know there has been many others watching you guys who also get a bit choked up watching you two as it brings it all back, friends no longer with us, memories of our lives and what we were doing as younger people and BLOWN AWAY by the music we were hearing 1st time. Your show would not be the same with 2 balder, chunkier old dudes playing classic rock. I would be bored. But you guys are a HUGE part of the greatness of this show because of the pure innocence you bring of listening for the 1st time, just as we were when this music was released back in "the day". You need to keep this going because so many, young and old are loving it and your keeping this important music alive. You really have something special happening and dont be surprised if radio or tv gets a hold of you at some point. SECOND: Do an in depth episode just on your lives, Your music, hour influences as musicians. Your lives, school and hobies, chicks, upbringing because this will help many of us decide what music to recommend for you. And a bit of advice: dont label anything as "waste of time" or worthwhile. Even though there will be music recomended to you that isnt your cup of tea, but......, it may be a musical revelation to thousands of others and they run out the house go buy the cd/record as i am sure this album has done. Your opinion is great and its your right but dont lose the point on getting this music out there and keeping it alive. Music is important and its a huge part of many peoples lives and very deeply for many of us. Its right up there with religion and politics and treading respectfully (and i am not saying you were being disrespectful at all) is the best policy. Someone offering up a song or record thats dear to them and hoping you and others will feel can really be hurt over a statement as waste of time or unworthy, etc.... . Thats a fan killer. Just sayin'. NEXT: Work in an ALBUM show where its not just a song but a whole album. Tell me you were not dying to listene to all of bostons debut album after hearing just the first track? There are so many albums that deserve the whole listen rather than just a cut, like boston's first. And on many others the music on the record as a whole helps perspective on certain cuts. 2112 should have had side 2 played. I HIGHLY Recommend Black Sabbath's SABOTAGE as a full play as its one complete EPIC song!! No dead time between songs. Its an epic recording with great playing by all and ozzy's best singing.Tony Iommy's guitar playing is great with lots of tasty classical guitar in spots. Its frightening, melodic, angry, beautiful and heavy throuout. It's sabbath for sure but a more "grown up" sabbath. Most big time sabbath fans as myself have this as their fav sabbath record (including me). Plenty of cuts to recommend but they are more understood and magnified in context of the whole work. Killer cover also!! And to end this, have a LIVE ALBUM/CS/MP3 show like friday night live or something of that sort where a whole live album is played. Vinyl rules and always will but you have to stop and turn the record over which interrupts the groove so cd/mp3 is better. This album by UFO is a GREAT choice for that and rock bottom isnt the "best song" on it!! It has to be heard without interruption like the epic metal masterpiece of (early) Judas Priest's live set UNLEASHED IN THE EAST that changed metal forever and holds up to ANYTHING metal today!! The opening cut EXITER is the worlds introduction to Speed Metal. This was when Priest was the real deal (1978). And by the way, this UFO live album was also 1978. Anyhow, i am addicted to this show. I have a tad over 3,000 vinyl albums, a few hundred cd's of every classic rock record you can name and my musical tastes cover EVERY genre outside of hip hop. Please, dont hesitate to contact me for any info or suggestions. I am a music historian, professional guitar player, teacher, luthier, live sound engineer and owner of Sound-Sation audio recorders in arizona. Many of the musicians and even bands on your youtube site you play for us i know or have met. But again, i love you guys to death and you may not know it now, but what your doing and HOW your doing it is important. Keep it going and GROWING and never, ever forget......., GRANDPA'S ROCK!!! (grandma's too).

Many people including Mike MacReady from Pearl Jam consider Strangers in the Night the greatest live album ever. I agree

Sweet LORD - Michael Schenker play that guitar like his life depended on it. One of my favourite guitarplayers of all time... Love his tone and the kind of unexpected turns in the guitarsolo. And later of course we were blessed with MSG... \m/

Hell yeah...UFO. I love it when you guys branch out to other, less obvious classic bands.

Saw UFO in concert several times. Was one of my favorite live bands.

You have to listen to UFO love to love, and lights out. This is coming from a Rush fan these guys are really good!!!

Possibly the flashiest pre-Van Halen rock player. No wang bar or finger tapping, just awesome jammin'.

Glad to see that you discovered UFO. I was listening to " Love to Love" this morning.. Rock on!

One of the things that I love about your reaction videos as compared to others is that you don't talk through the videos like others do. Thumbs up!!!

Michael Schenker uses a wah pedal to get the tone that he gets. He doesn't use the wah-wah in your typical sense. He sets it at a certain point to get the tone he wants and leaves it there. Then his fantastic playing style with some help from his Dean Flying V.... his style is really mind-blowing.

This band is so freaking underrated! 🤘🏼

UFO was a great hard rock band that helped us thru the second half of the 70s , when heavy music wasn’t in style ...Phenomenon , Force It, No Heavy Petting ( my favorite), Lights Out, Obsession ... this Live LP

Along with Humble Pie, the most underrated ‘70s rock band. Every album through Obsession is classic.

I saw them on the tour this was released, Schenker had left and Paul Chapman from Lone Star was on guitar. He did a good job, but Schenker is a god.

UFO! Rock Bottom 1974! Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Love to Love! Among many...

@4:27 You NEVER hear songwriting like this anymore...this was common in the 70s rock era in concerts...no more. extended guitar solos died out. UFO Obsession is a masterpiece! Michael Schenker if just known for this would be legend. Phil Moog's vocals as underrated as any rock singer...Andy Parker's drumming perfection...when records were recorded the right way...yes, this is worth a listen.

Never was a huge fan of theirs but "Love to Love" is an all time classic in my book.

And Schenker is one of the best fillet guitarists that I have ever heard. Dude was so talented at such an early age.

Love to Love from that same live album. My favorite UFO song.

Fucking awesome. Finally a reaction to what is one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you

In October, UFO starts their final tour of the US. 50 years of fantastic music.

One of Steve Harris main influences....Maiden opens every show with Doctor Doctor...when you hear that song come over the PA at a Maiden Show you know its go time. Listen to the studio version of Rock Bottom. from Phenomenon in 1974

Other UFO: Love to Love, This Kids, Mother Mary, Lights Out

You've heard this kind of thing before because this is where it started.This came out in the mid 70's and this is the roots of speed metal. This is pre Metalica. If you put it in that context you can see how ground breaking this really is.

This is the best hard rock live album ever recorded !! I saw RUSH and UFO on tour when I was 13yo and this solo has stuck with me. The solo has more emotion and feeling than any of Vahalens or Malmsteens and many others !!

Late 70's was a great time for rock. You had the a double punch in the Schenker brothers in UFO and Scorpions.

The great melodic playing of a 23 year old Michael Schenker. Man it’s like he never stops. He had a certain flow. He’s not flashy, he would stand in one spot on stage, head hanging down looking at his Flying V and rarely looking up.

The ultimate combo drums, keyboards, vocals, bass and MS on guitar. Rock on lads.

Strangers in the Night is such a good live album. My favourite from it is Love to Love. I hope you'll get a chance to react to it too.

The absolute best live album ever made. Michael Shanker was 18 or so when this was made.

UFO is the most underrated rock band of the 70s an early 80s my I was lucky to see them 8 times with AC/DC great rock shows

You "popped" a memory bubble. College parties. Didn't know what the heck their name was. This is part of the foundation fellas! Andy, nice to point out that this is Live. They didn't have all of the monitors and "back ups" of today. Flew by the seat of their pants & had to be good musicians. Enjoyed the reaction guys. Have a good day! :)

Yes!!! Man this album was huge for me when I was younger - and still in my list today!

Schenker is a deep artist. In my youth I was drawn in immediately. Nice to see 40 years later he can still capture the ear of a new gen.

First time seeing you guys. This was my old man’s music growing up, but he taught me well. One of my favorite albums of all time!! 🤘🏻

check out the live version of "Lights Out" on this album.....Rockin!!!!

UFO is a true bands band. You guys must check out the album versions of Doctor Doctor, Oh my, and let it roll. This is some of UFOs best bangers from their hey day. I know I’m late to this one, but bands like UFO, Foghat snd early Cheap Trick are riddled with Bangers.

UFO! Also from Strangers; Lights Out, Mother Mary. Love to Love too but I like the studio version more, you just have to get past the first 45 seconds.

Schenker!!!!! Totally amazing player. You have to check out Sails of Charon with Uli John Roth. He used to be in The Scorpions too

Liked because this is one of the first Rock Bands I ever saw live back in 1980! They opened for Cheap Trick. Awesome show! Great song!

Great choice. Always loved UFO. A driving guitar intro gets me every time. Love it. 👏🏻

Sweet. Well done yet again gentlemen.

About time you boys hit UFO and Michael Schenker! More essential UFO: "Pack It Up and Go" from Obsession, "Lights Out" from Lights Out, "Natural Thing" from No Heavy Petting, and "Only You Can Rock Me," "Doctor Doctor" and "Love to Love" from Strangers In The Night.

I am so happy you guys listened to this!!! UFO is superb, also on the Phenomenon album, written by Michael Schenker & vocalist Phil Mogg is "Doctor Doctor", if you haven't heard it you'll enjoy. I love Mogg's vocals and Schenker awww hell what can I say, brilliant guitarist. He played with the Scorpions early on, another band in my top 5. Check out UFO's Light's Out album, so great!! The title track is amazing, also "Love to Love", "Too Hot to Handle" just to name a couple of great tracks on the album. Thanks guys, made my day!

8:15 to 9:15 That guitar tone, those bends, the shredding and the harmonies with the keyboard... phenomenal !!!

Thanks for the UFO review, would recommend Love to Love or Lights Out from Strangers In The Night also. Michael Schenker never received the recognition he deserved, but influenced many guitarists such as Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde.

Love your videos ! I am 57 and grew up with this music. When I was 16 saw them from the second row. Every song on this live album is incredible. I recommend Lights Out and Love to Love

Alex and Andy, you might like ROBIN TROWER's Too Rolling Stoned. Check out the live version...

ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER! RIGHT UP THERE WITH"LIVE AND DANGEROUS" BY THIN LIZZY!

At last a track I and many more suggested Rock Bottom fantastic and very underated band. Doctor Doctor, Only You Can Rock Me are also classic from this album I recently bought this album second hand vinyl on EBay for £10. which was a steal especially for a double album. Great guitar riffs glad to see your Rockin' Reaction guys. Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.

UFO certainly among the most underrated if not the most underrated of the hard rock bands of that period. Great songs, Schenker's guitar mastery and great live performers.

Your Welcome, Schenker was 15 on Scorpions Lonesomecrow. Played live for Scorpions and Ufo on tour when he was 16. Then 1974 Ufo 1st album with Michael Schenker Phenomenon at 17.Which has 2 classics Rock Bottom and Doctor Doctor. Then Force it and No Heavy Petting all without any keyboards and true great albums. Then 2 of the top 10 albums in rock, Lights Out and Obessesion. Then at 22 The BEST Live album ever Strangers In The Night. No overdubs No BS. Straight Live, You can here miscues and Feedback. Listen to Rock Bottom Studio version. Complete different Lead break. Schenker plays by shear SOUL. His lead breaks during songs changes every night, depending on how hes feeling. He has his basics and plays the rest on felling and emotion. When he finally got Paul Raymond , RIP , his best rhythm guitarist and keyboards player things really took off for Schenker, he was called GOD by rock fans. Listen to Lights Out and Obsession albums to see UFOs Genius. They were thought to be the next Led Zepplin or Black Sabbath till Schenker Went his own way. They were on the cusp of Superstardom. Listen to Strangers whole album. Listen to Lights Out 2 lead breaks will floor you as with a lot of their songs and solos. Try Natural Thing to start the Live album. Hello Chicago, Will You Please Welcome From England U F O. Schenker did no flashy shit. He played standing there with his Black Gibson Flying V. Some of the musicians he influenced, Iron Maiden, Zakk Wilde, Def Leppard, Metallica, Pearl Jam and on and on. Thanks and CHEERS AGAIN. Keep digging into UFO, even after Schenker left, Paul Chapman and UFO made a few Great albums just not quite to the Schenker years. UFO and Schenker did a couple albums in the mid 90s. Walk On Water is another UFO classic

The best solo has to be 'try me' is a ballard but a killer.

I've seen UFO a couple of times. The 2 best concerts ever!!

One of my very favorite live albums. Love to Love, Natural Thing, Too hot to Handle, Ligjts Out... Great guitar all the way through.

One of the greatest live albums EVER!!!

There's something about faithfully capturing the ambient sounds of a raucous, unruly rock and roll audience in a huge barn along with a great hard rock band that really appeals to me. This record among many others. Fond memories, indeed.

The Most Epic "Train Wreck " endings to an equally Epic Live performance.... Ever! Thumbs up for reaction replay for me ... after me personally experiencing UFO live in Oakland over 40 years ago! I love UFO!

This album made me a guitar player long ago. Michael Schenker blew me away and now I`m a shredder and I owe it all to Michael and the 40 plus years of hard work and practice.

At last, you've got around to UFO ☺ Schenker is my guitar hero and one of the reasons that I play guitar. You need, now, to check out Thin Lizzy, preferably the studio album versions of Black Rose and Chinatown...please! Love seeing your reactions to bands I know and love, It makes this old guy happy 😊

seen these guys in march 1981. they warmed up for Ozzy at the boutwell auditorium in birmingham alabama. they were really really good. it was my first time hearing this band. I bought all their stuff I could find. Ozzy's band was Randy Rhoades, Rudy Sarzo, and Tommy Aldridge and of course Ozzy. I paid $12 for the ticket and it was general admission. I was 10 feet from the stage. awsome awsome.....lol

Saw this incarnation of UFO together with Blue Oyster Cult in 1978 from the 3rd Row. One of the best concerts EVER. Both bands tore it up that night.

Excellent live music. Bass player is banging. Shenker was so underrated. ☮️

Keyboards by Paul Raymond who died recently and he played guitar as well. Need to play Doctor Doctor

If you listen to any of UFO songs a few times you'll understand why we love them. Thanks for trying.

Schenker also played in the Scorpions, another 70s/80s band you need to check out! Scorpions were more popular than UFO, possibly because Scorpions had songs in heavy rotation on MTV. Michael was not with Scorpions when they were at their peak, but his brother Rudolph has been a primary member since the early 70s.

God this mix is so great, drums are powerful and hard hitting and the vocals sit perfect

“I’m a Loser” is the best song on this album imo

You've got to do more UFO reactions, they are so underrated. Strangers in the Night is one of the top 5 live albums of all time in my opinion!

This song is fuckin' awesome...good choice..truly a live recording.

Get in there! I told you lads you'd not regret it :)

One of the best live albums of all time! Try the live versions of Doctor Doctor, Love To Love, and Too Hot To Handle. Saw UFO in concert in 1978. Great concert! They opened for Blue Oyster Cult...Listen to cuts from the Obsession album as well.. .

UFO is a beast, every song is packed full of guitar, bass, drums , keyboard ,all giving to kick ass songs

UFO was incredible with Michael Schenker. This was recorded in 1978 but the song was written in 1974. He influenced countless guitarists including Randy Rhodes. Pure legend. You should react to the entire album!
