UFO vs. SCORPIONS

I like both, and Schenk is probably my guitar preference even though I love Jon Roth as well, but I have to go with the Scoprions here. Their 70's and early 80's material pretty much mirrors perfection, from Fly To The Rainbow to Love At First Sting, I can't get enough.

That reminds me, i'm gonna play speedy's coming.

They're one of the bands that introduced me to the world of heavy metal.

Their early material rocks. Songs like Rock you like a Hurricane are pure metal anthems.

Besides, i was lucky to catch them alive in 1997, and they put out a hell of a show.

They concluded with the song When the smoke is going down, dedicating it to my country, and hoping that Israeli and syrian military occupation at the time would end.

Respect.

Wow! First time I've heard someone refer to Rock You Like a Hurricane as their old material, though I guess it is pretty old at this point. When I think of the Scorpions old material it songs like "In Trance", "Hell Cat", "Virgin Killer", "Speedys Coming", "The Sails of Charon", etc. The old Uli Roth stuff.

You're right. It's just that Rock you like a hurricane was one of the first songs i heard in the eighties, this is why i consider it to be old material

You can play both sides of the fence with that one since Michael played on Lonesome Crow and Lovedrive for the Scorps and was in UFO, as well.

BTW, Did he play any part of of the Lovedrive tour??? That would have been supercool!!!!!!

Love both bands, but love Scorpions more.

No, he didn't. Jabs also played on Lovedrive and did the tour. Mike got sent to rehab to dry out after the album was recorded
