Andy Parker

The classic catalog and hard-rock influence of UFO cannot be overstated (just ask Steve Harris!). Drummer Andy Parker joins us to discuss the expanded reissue of the 1980 album, “No Place to Run,” the hilarious story behind the cover photo and how Beatles producer George Martin got his first taste of “heavy metal.” We also learn how UFO poached guitarist Michael Schenker from the Scorpions (and how a restroom tutorial saved a gig); why “Strangers in the Night” is a masterclass live album in spite of its “amped-up” performers; and how all those classic Phil Mogg lyrics were always reliably down-to-the-wire. You’re gonna love Andy as much as we did!
