Hey folks, that's right. UFO is back!! The line-up is Phil Mogg-Vocals, Pete Way-Bass, Aynsley Dunbar (ex-Whitesnake)-Drums, and...MICHAEL SCHENKER-Guitar. There will be a tour to follow, with about a month in Eruope, and (hopefully) a month in the US. If you haven't heard the last album (WALK ON WATER, 1995) you should check it out! CLASSIC UFO!! The new one promises to be pretty damn good too. July 25th is the tentative release date. This is EXTREMELY good news for fans of Classic Hard Rock/Metal.

By the way, the album is tentatively titled COVENANT. This should be a good one....

"Walk on Water" very nearly did. I was lucky enough to see one of the four U.S. dates on that tour. Of course, they were all in the same club (the defunct Edge in Palo Alto, Cali.) And Schenker walked off stage during one of the shows and if memory serves, refused to play the fourth. So actually it was a two night tour. I think Nitro saw one of those dates, too.

Anyway, "Walk on Water" is probably the best example of melodic metal released in the 90s and I hope the new one is even half as good.

I caught them twice, the first time around with the original lineup and the second time around with Simon Wright on drums. They actually played a third time in between, again at the Edge, but somehow I missed that one. The second was the night after Mikey walked off stage due to numerous personal reason only he knows.. Made for quite the weird show as everyone was thinking he would walk off again.. Have to say, when he returned with MSG, yes at the Edge again, and this is the shows they recorded The Unforgiven World Tour cd, it was the best show ever.

Now that the Edge is defunct, I don't know where they will play around here...

If the cd is half as good as Walk on Water then we are in for another treat. Walk on Water had the same old UFO feel but with a bit updated sound from Mikey.. the MSG influence can be heard..

I was lucky enough to see UFO here in San Diego on their WALK ON WATER tour in 1995. They were simply brilliant. They had Simon Wright on drums, and that was when I found out just how good he was/is. Everybody was in top form, and they gave an arena-worthy performance. I was hoping that that was jst the beginning for the reformed UFO. Little did I know that they wouldn't put out another album for 5 years. The 2 Mogg/Way CD's were good, as was MSG's UNFORGIVEN, but it is time for some CLASSIC UFO!

Has anyone else bought the 2 Mogg/Way CD's?
They're really UFO CD's without the name, and they're pretty damn good....

so many cd's so little time (and money)..

I haven't picked up the mogg/way cd's. I want to get the Paul Raymond cd as I heard clips and its sounded great. Schenker clone on guitar and mogg on vox for a couple tracks. Way has a new solo cd out as well.

Now, if UFO has a new cd out, will they tour? and what does that do to the rumors of MSG touring with AC/DC?

From what I've read there will be a short (1 month) tour of the U.S. for UFO.

If you like UFO you should check out the Mogg/Way CD's. Like I've said before, they are UFO CD's without the UFO name.
