Cover art for Rock Bottom lyrics by UFO

In six years, only two people before me have commented? My goodness - it appears more people are caught up in the atrocious noise we call music today than I thought.

This song is way, way ahead of its time. I remember the first time I heard it, I mistakened it for "New Wave of British Heavy Metal". I had the early 1980's in mind. I was shocked to learn "Rock Bottom" was released a full decade earlier - in 1973.

Only two bands at that time were making music even reminiscent to the sound of NWOBHM - Scheneker's UFO, and Sammy Hagar's band - Montrose. Thanks to Michael Scheneker, UFO blew people away by what a human being could do with a guitar, and even today, people are still jamming out to this guitar solo.

UFO existed before and after Michael Schenker, and it was never "Scheneker's UFO". Neither was it "Sammy Hagar's band - Montrose". It was Ronny Montrose's band, hence the name "Montrose".
