Artist Biography For UFO
UFO Is A British Hard Rock/heavy Metal Band That Was Formed In 1969 With Lead Singer Phil Mogg Guitarist Mick Bolton Bassist Pete Way And Drummer Andy Parker. UFO Was A Transitional Band Between The Rock Of Led Zeppelin And The Metal To Come In The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Their Early Releases Are Commonly Referred To As "space Rock" With Obvious Influence From The 60s Rock Scene. In 1973 The Band Recruited An 18 Year Old Michael Schenker From The Band Scorpions. This Marked A Departure From Their Space Rock Sound To A More Hard Edged Rock Sound. They Released A String Of Critically Acclaimed Rock Albums In The 70s That Gained Them A Following In America And Made Them Stars In The UK. Around The Time Of The 1978 Release Of Obsession Tensions Between Schenker And Mogg Were Mounting. UFO Arguably Reached Their Peak At This Time. In 1978 They Toured Extensively And Recorded Material For The Double Live Album Strangers In The Night Which Was Released In 1979. This Album Is Considered By Many Fans And Critics To Be One Of The Best Live Rock Albums Ever Produced. Immediately After The Strangers In The Night Tour Michael Schenker Left The Band. After This Period UFO's Popularity Began To Decline As They Continue To Release Material. In 1988 They Disbanded Due To Lackluster Sales Decline In Popularity And Their Inability To Or Perhaps Refusal To Capitalize On The Popularity Of The Glam Rock Movement. But The Hiatus Was Short Lived. In 1992 Mogg And Way Put Together Another UFO Lineup That Met With Some New Interest From Fans. In 1993 The Original UFO Got Back Together With Schenker And The Result Was 1995's Walk On Water Which Some Consider To Be One Of The Best Comeback Rock Albums Ever. Schenker Re-Joined And Quit UFO Many Times In The Early 2000s. Due To Schenker's Instability As A Band Member And Erratic Tour Behavior Mogg Eventually Gained Full Control Of The UFO Band Brand And Schenker Is Now Forever From The Picture Most Likely . UFO Has Released 20 Studio Albums And Many Live/compilation Albums. Though The Lineup Has Changed Many Times Over The Years The Core Members Of The Band Were Usually Involved Along The Way Phil Mogg Vocals Pete Way Bass Andy Parker Drums And Paul Raymond Guitar . UFO's Influence Was Strongly Felt In The '80s Metal Scene And They Have Been Cited As A Primary Influence Of Kirk Hammett Of Metallica Dave Mustaine Of Megadeth And Iron Maiden Who Gives Thanks To UFO In The Liner Note Of The Number Of The Beast.

Strangers In The Night With Original Subtitle A Double Live Album Is A Live Album By The British Rock Band UFO First Released In 1979 On The Chrysalis Label. The Original Double LP Album Was Recorded In Autumn 1978 At Shows In Chicago Illinois And Louisville Kentucky. This Was UFO's Last Concert Recording With Guitarist Michael Schenker Before The Band's Reunion In 1993. Schenker Left The Band During This Tour This Led To The Band Having To Recruit Former Bandmate & Ex-Lone Star Guitarist Paul Chapman. It Has Been Rumoured That Schenker Refused To Record Any Overdubs For The Album Which Would Make This An Accurate Account Of His Live Guitar Work. When He Has Discussed The Album Schenker Has Spoken Of Disappointment With The Chosen Tracks Saying "there Were Better Takes They Could've Used". Strangers In The Night Peaked At No. 7 On The UK Charts And No. 42 On The US Charts. Strangers In The Night Is Often Listed By Critics And Fans As One Of The Greatest Live Rock Albums Of All Time. Kerrang! Magazine Listed The Album At No. 47 Among The "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time". Slash Guitarist For Guns N' Roses Has Stated That This Is His Favorite Live Album. Original UFO Bassist Pete Way Considers The Album To Be His Favorite Release By The Band. Two Live EPs In 1979 Also Proved Successful For The Band. In February "Doctor Doctor" Taken From The Album Coupled With "On With The Action" Recorded On The Same 1978 US Tour And The Studio Cut "Try Me" Reached No. 35 In The UK Singles Chart This Was The First Time The Band Had Made The UK Top 40. "Shoot Shoot" Coupled With "Only You Can Rock Me" And "I'm A Loser" Would Make No. 48 In The UK In April. Some Of The Songs Were Recorded From A Show From UFO's Tour With Blue Öyster Cult. Track Listing In 1999 EMI Reissued Strangers In The Night With An Expanded Edition Featuring Two Bonus Songs "Hot 'n' Ready" And "Cherry". The Announcement At The Beginning Of The Expanded CD Version Indicates The First Track Was Recorded In Chicago But Was Not So According To The Booklet Of The 2008 Remaster The Songs Are Pointed As Recorded In Youngstown Ohio 15.10.1978 And Cleveland Ohio 16.10.1978 Accordingly . The Audience Noise Is From Chicago And The Intro For The CD Was Used From The Chicago Show. At 2 40 Into The Track "Lights Out" Phil Mogg Sings "Lights Out Lights Out Chicago" Which Is Followed By Audience Roar. Two Tracks "Mother Mary" And "This Kid's" Are Actually Studio Tracks With Crowd Noise Added As Outlined In The 2008 Remaster Booklet. The Track Listing Was Also Reordered To More Accurately Reflect UFO's Setlist At The Time. Note That The Tracklist Of The 2008 Version Is Identical To The 1999 Version No Additional Tracks Or Tracklist Modifications Are Present.
