UFO’s "Strangers in the night" is a very special album for me stretching from my teens. It showed what talented group UFO was back then and they had Michael Schenker as the lead guitarist, his contribution was awesome and so individual in his style. Back in my teens my best friend who played guitar (like me, but alot better!) was a huge fan of Michael Schenker and he pointed out an interesting observation about MS style of playing. At the time we listened to all the usual lead guitar suspects (Hendrix, Clapton, Blackmore, Robin Trowers, Page etc......) and he observed that MS did not really use ’blues licks’ nor did he often repeat himself.
