UFO

UFO arrived in London in 1969, born from the synergy of vocalist Phil Mogg and bassist Pete Way. They quickly built a reputation for blues-infused hard rock and high-energy live shows, releasing a string of influential albums that bridged late-60s rock with the emerging hard rock sound. Over the 1970s they evolved into one of Britain’s premier heavy acts, their hard-hitting riffs and punchy rhythm sections inspiring a generation of guitarists.

Arguably their most famous chapter came when guitarist Michael Schenker joined in the mid-70s, catapulting UFO into international prominence with hook-filled riffs and dazzling leads on Phenomenon, Force It, and Lights Out. Tracks like Doctor Doctor, Natural Thing, and Oh My became enduring staples of the classic rock canon, while live performances set new standards for energy and precision. Through the decades and a shifting lineup, UFO left a lasting imprint on hard rock and early metal, influencing countless players and bands.

Today, UFO's catalog remains a touchstone for riff-focused guitar work and melodic solos.
