UFO Shoot Out The Lights
Author: Martin Popoff

UFO: Shoot Out The Lights… the first EVER book on classic British rock act UFO! Included in this 257 page barnstormer is a huge pile of previously unpublished stuff from Martin Popoff’s many interviews over the years with Phil Mogg, Pete Way, Michael Schenker, Paul Chapman, Neil Carter, Paul Raymond, Atomic Tommy, Danny Peyronel and a bu... more »nch of other guys. Like Martin’s recent Blue Oyster Cult and Rush books, the format is album by album, song by song. Says Martin: “I don’t think there are any songs, from the debut through to You Are Here, that don’t get talked about by me or the guys or both. In and around that though, there is lots of tour talk, gettin’ inside the guys’ heads (lots of Schenker in that respect), and of course, some tales revolving (spinning?) around the demons drug and drink.” Also included is a full band discography with virtually all the side-project and solo stuff included; song titles as well. For more, here’s the back cover text… Doctor, Doctor, Rock Bottom, Mother Mary, Shoot Shoot, Lights Out, Too Hot To Handle, Only You Can Rock Me, No Place To Run, The Wild The Willing And The Innocent… …such is only a sampling of the distinguished brilliance Phil Mogg, Pete Way and their merry band of co-wreckers have gotten up to over 35 years and many more beers of daring rock ‘n’ roll destruction. From the self-titled record in 1971, to 2004’s shimmery and hopeful You Are Here, UFO has been persevering through lineup bust-ups, music business hell-scapes, and grim self-abuses that would have killed lesser rock ‘n’ rollers. Along the way, such records as Force It, No Heavy Petting, Lights Out, Obsession, Strangers In The Night, Making Contact, and Walk On Water, the superlative ‘90s comeback album with the enigmatic Michael Schenker, have crash-landed in arenas around the globe. UFO – Shoot Out The Lights celebrates the careening career of this classic, classy, eminently British hard rock institution, album by album, song by song, blow by bleary-eyed blow. Through extensive discussion with band members past and present, Popoff digs into the motivations behind UFO’s many revered records, while also touching upon those of the Michael Schenker Group, Waysted and Mogg/Way. Pour yourself a stiff one, ‘cos we’re expecting some turbulence! About The Author… Martin Popoff has written ten books on hard rock, heavy metal and classic rock. His 11th, UFO: Shoot Out The Lights, joins Blue Oyster Cult: Secrets Revealed! in an ongoing series of album-by-album analyses commissioned by Metal Blade Records, an institution in the heavy metal field, now in its 23rd year of distinguished service. Martin is also the Editor In Chief of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, and is a regular contributor to Guitar World, Lollipop, Goldmine, Record Collector, Classic Rock, Chart, bravewords.com, chartattack.com, lollipop.com and hardradio.com.
