Only You Can Rock Me

"Only You Can Rock Me" is a hard rock track by UFO, released in 1978 as a single from their seventh studio album, Obsession. It marks one of the last recordings to feature Michael Schenker on lead guitar before his departure from the band, making it a significant moment in UFO's history. For electric guitarists, the song is a strong study in Schenker's melodic, blues-influenced hard rock phrasing and his signature blend of power and clarity.

  • Michael Schenker's lead guitar work on this track represents his final studio contributions to UFO until his return in 1993.
  • The song was released as a double A-side single alongside 'Cherry' and also appeared on UFO's first three-track EP.
  • The EP reached No. 50 on the UK singles chart — a notable chart appearance for the band in their home country.

Paul Chapman wielded this guitar after replacing Schenker, using its stock humbuckers to create a thicker, heavier tone that distinguished UFO's later era sound. The Les Paul's weight and sustain complemented Chapman's more aggressive approach compared to Schenker's finesse-based playing style.

While less documented than Chapman's Standards, the Les Paul Custom offered similar thick humbucker tones and premium construction for UFO's heavier material, maintaining the dense, powerful sound Chapman brought to the band.

Michael Schenker's iconic stripped natural-wood and later black-and-white split-finish Flying Vs became UFO's visual and sonic signature, with PAF-style humbuckers delivering the touch-sensitive, singing lead tones that defined his expressive playing style.

Schenker's primary effect for crafting UFO's soaring lead passages, the Cry Baby wah allowed expressive control over his Marshall's warm breakup, turning simple solos into dramatic vocal-like statements as heard in live classics like 'Rock Bottom.'
