Thought these cats deserved a thread and a bit of praise!!







are a British hard rock/heavy metal band formed in 1969. UFO became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. UFO's influence was strongly felt in the 1980s heavy metal scene and they have been cited as a primary influence of Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, Steve Kudlow of Anvil, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Frank Hannon of Tesla, and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, among others.

One of my all time faves! Got to see them last year and Vinnie Moore is carrying the Schenker torch quite well. And Phil still sounds great!!!

Has anybody heard this? It's a six-disc "official" bootleg compilation from EMI of live sets from UFO's prime.

It's a little pricey but it might be worth it.
