Underrated Gem: On With The Action


"On With The Action" is a very good song by UFO that I am comfortable with defining as an underrated gem.  This song has such a gritty way of telling a story of how screwed up the world is for the younger generation.  The song has lyrics of violence and tragedy, and the music makes the dark feel even more evident.  Michael Schenker's riff is almost depressingly awesome, because it drones like a keyboard, and it gives the song such a dark Black Sabbath feel to it.  I love how Phil combats the lyrics on this song, because he really shows the emotion that were put into writing them.  He has so much power, and he makes it so much more haunting.  I like this song because it displays what the band observed about teenagers at this time. It almost strikes me as a DOA by Van Halen type of song, because that song also tells a story of the younger generation and hard times in a very dark way.  I recommend this song to anyone, and just to let everyone know; it is on the album No Heavy Petting.
