And this is nuts. These guys look like anything but a rock band, haha!

I think i saw Rammstein way back on the Korn Family Values tour.It was probably a limited set they played,but it was quite unlike any performance i'd ever seen.

Yeah - Al Pitrelli, Paul O'Neil , John Oliva (RIP), Robert Kinkel, and Jeff Plate

My condolences, bro.

Paul died a few years ago

Indeed, he did, unfortunately. You know, I generally look at the marketing that goes along with many "rock acts" (and I get it, I truly do). However, looking at a lot of these guys - we tend to pigeon hole them into one thing or another.

Folks look at Dio (for example) and never really "know" that individual and his/her "taste" in music.

I offer this: Kerry Livgren (Kansas) left the band to become a Christian. Couple of years later he went into the studio to do a "Contemporary Christian" album. He used a bushel of musicians from guys from Jethro Tull to Dio....

Listen to this song - and it becomes clear (at least to me) that Dio was one of the finest vocalists that ever sang..... (IMO)

A masterpiece that no one can corner a 4 note, generic sequence found in many songs and declare "he stole that from me!"

I've been listening a lot of UFO lately. I recently bought a new 70's Gibson Flying V reissue and have been admiring Michael's tone.

UFO was a very under appreciated band but had a loyal following. Here they are are then and now.

I just love UFO, everything about them. Great song writing, catchy, and Schenker topped it all off with some of the best guitar work of the 70's.

Every time I think of UFO



That riff, that bass....perfect. And crazy for 1975!
[Reply]

That bass is Pete Way. The guy was very underrated. He was also in a supergroup of sorts with Fast Eddie Clarke from Motorhead called FastWay.

I was a Fastway fan when their first album came out.

Years later, I became a fan of Flogging Molly and was surprised to find out that their frontman, Dave King, was the same guy who had been the previously unknown lead singer in Fastway.
