- REBEL ACCESS tv presents an interview with guitar legend Paul Chapman, from the bands; UFO, Skid Row, Jack Starr and the Guardians of the Flame, DOA, and Gator Country, Rebel Access tv is requesting that any comments are kind as these hosts are not professionals. They are usually picked out from the general audience crowd. They have no idea they will be interviewing the band when they attend the show. That is what makes it more fun for everyone involved and sets us apart from those who take life so seriously. Rebel Access is a loosely formatted raw and fun show with basic easy pre written questions for the performers and the nervous host of this episode. This episode previously aired in both the Chicago and Arizona area. All filming and editing by Rebel Riley That REBEL ACCESS tv is IN YOUR FACE!!

I Will Never Forget Your Songs,Guitar Work and Great Solos !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
Love the Chapman era UFO albums. He had the toughest gig of all having to follow Schenker, but he was supurb
Wild willing and the innocent is their best album Imo
Exactly. No win situation for the poor man.
Don't forget he was in Lone Star too. Paul "Tonka" Chapman, RIP.
I regret never having had a chance to see him live. He came to "Reggie's" in Chicago but I found out after the fact. I like his performance on "Live in Texas" 1979.
I met Paul Chapman back in 78, right after he took the UFO gig permanently. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. A good guitarist too.
Took lessons from him for 3 years here in Melbourne Florida, great guy, so cool, humble!
@MetallicBill I saw Phil literally beg a packed 2500 seat theatre in Pittsburgh to accept Paul. Shenker wasn't there when the band hit the stage and everyone felt cheated. they paid to see Michael. any way Phil stopped the show and asked us to give the guy a chance and we did and it was a great concert but it certainly wasn't the prodigy. I work in trhe music industry and have my entire life and that is the only time I had ever seen that happen.
@@monmixer sadly he passed away yesterday. Rip
Yes Tonka...THANK YOU for great music with Lone Star & the great stuff with UFO. Especially the UFO stuff, which I think is their best music! R.I.P. brother.
Rest in peace paul
RIP Paul. Love those lone star albums
RIP. just like I remember talking to him years ago when he toured with UFO.
nice guy. when I told him I was a singer songwriter never could master guitar
but was a good chord player he said that's nothing to be ashamed of! keep at it.
he's on my wall right now looking right into the camera live in New Orleans 81!
Play for the angels. One of guitar heroes !. I will be in Heaven tonight. RIP
His contributions with with UFO in 81-82 were fantastic. I think it's their best work. Great songs!
You obviously haven't heard many albums from UFO, if you think that period is their best work.
George Edwards That's true, George. There are a few songs I like from previous work, but most of it lacks the great rhythm guitar hooks with the tone, that I like from Paul. Great melodies from the Chapman era. Melody is what makes a song sound good to me, no matter what genre. A lot of the 70's UFO stuff is too fast, and kinda noisy. I'm not into the solos so much that Schenker was so good at.
Band was better with him than Schenker.
To me, Pauls guitar sound and his playing makes him very special in the UFO history. His sound is soooo good; rhythm is raw and creamy and when he solos it's a little more defined sound that rips! I prefer Paul compared to Michael in that respect.
Wonderful guitarist, such a decent person. Sadly missed .
Paul is an amazing musician....you can bring Paul any song and he will completely know the song in literally minutes, what a talent! Paul, you just cannot say enough about, he is a talent that just can't duplicated....Great individual! Wow, I'm glad to have taken lessons from this man, cannot say enough about the life lessons learned from him....
legend
Tonla. Chapman. Rest. In peace. You. Were. Great. Player. N. A. True. Rocket. Test. Brother
Thank you PAUL for all. RIP
Great player. He was In a no win situation joining UFO. HE WAS TREMENDOUS
Loved being on stage with Paul in DOA/Madman!
Tremendous player, he had a no win situation joining UFO. HE was Tremendous. Tremendous I Said.
She is outrageously adorable
Love you, Paul ; RIP 🙂
Such a nice guy both on and off stage!!
1st time I've heard him talk.
This guy rocks on the guitar, along with a great personality, full of humor. I can see why Pete Way liked hanging out with him.
Tonka! RIP!
You didn't mentioned Zebra Leader Paul........fond memories of Cat's place, over the butcher's shop in Crwys Rd in 1969. It's good to see you looking so well. Blessings, Andy Thompson
Like the format , btw.
Chapman is a good guitarist.
Dave Edmunds, cousin? WOW!
Kinda looks like Dave,come to think of it now.
Awesome guitar player and writer of epic melodic anthems. Hats off from Mexico!
Legend.
RIP Tonka x
RIP Tonka
Chapman was first in UFO in 74, not 73. Funny that there's a Schenker V hanging on the wall behind him.
Tell em Tonka. Long Gone, No Place To Run.
Großartiger Musiker.
Paul what about Ghost? That’s a great record.
Paul 'Tonka' Chapman - Rest in peace. can anyone with a better knowledge confirm whether he actually played on any of the tracks on Strangers in the Night back in 1978. I know he was drafted in at very short notice to replace Michael Schenker who walked out on the band during that particular tour of the U.S. but it would be nice to know whether any of his playing is actually included on this classic Live album.
He was thanked in the liner notes of Stangers but he did not play on any of the songs. Saw him make that statement during an interview, so it is to be believed...
@ianowen9717 Schenker didn't walk out on the 1978 Obsession tour at all! Though he did quit the band during the mixing of Strangers In The Night. Also the rumours that he went AWOL in 1977 are false too!. After the UK leg of the Lights Out tour ended in June 1977, he told the band that after the years of constant touring, he was exhausted, and that if the band wanted him to stay with them he needed to rest, and couldn't face doing the US leg of the 1977 Lights Out tour. The band concocted a publicity story, for the music press, that he'd gone missing. and got Paul Chapman in as cover. Michael returned to the band in September 1977 and finished off the US tour. Tonka gets a well earned Thank you on Strangers because he helped the band out in 1977, and also by the time Strangers was released on the 2nd January 1979, he was a full time member of the band.
Tonka!
Paul and his B.C rich destroyed many arenas
He had a tough job following Schenker. Unfortunately, he was always being compared to Michael. Very unfair.
the interviewerlooks like tony smith back in the day
Lone Star
Great to see Tonka alive and well! When was this interview? Looking forward to hear more music from Paul soon
My best guess is that this was taken about 2005?
+REBEL ACCESS tv Paul Chapman is now playing with Killer Bee, a band out of Sweden. 2016
Paul died yesterday
I just said that
I started playing guitar because of Schenker. My first chance to see him at Cleveland Public Hall with UFO and a replacement, Paul, was on guitar. Schenker's departure had not yet been announced. After one song Mogg said "This one's for the dead guitar player." I was devastated thinking Michael was dead. Perhaps most of the audience was as well.
Chapman did OK. But didn't have the flair or the chops of Schenker. It was a terrible night. Mogg did not present it well at all. Terrible, terrible night.
You say Chapman didn't possess the flair or chops of michael. Neither did any of us. You could say he same about Mathias jabs , and yet ultimately he was the guitarist for the scorpions. I personally feel Paul Chapmans contributions have aged like find wine.
I always liked Paul Chapman better than Schenker.....
Wow, Chapman doesn't need a lot of encouragement to talk... Was that one answer to a first question ?
RIP Tonka
