It must be Chris' cameo appearance...   If you are a good musician you should never retire. Just look at our John, he's better than ever! Chris

I highly doubt that he has been left out. No one has stated for a fact that he has.

Just a steadying hand here... Remember, at present, no one has actually said anything about anything. Everyone take a deep breath, count to 10 and realise that you are breathing... PS: of course I fully reserve the right to whoop and holler like a prize-winning cheerleader if it all turns out to be true!!! PPS: and you were there...and you were there...and you....

Just a little joke, Maryann. Hence the Louis remark. Seriously, I hope Ultravox don't get back together.

Personally, I only liked Vienna & Rage In Eden. Two classic albums of 'their time'. The rest became a means to create even more commercial success, with creativity & intuitive chance being pushed even further into the background, hence the running out of, or conflict of, ideas between the musicians which leads to poor sales, dis-interest from fans & the band eventually splitting up.
If Ultravox do get back together I hope it's because the band want to & not because of demand or to relive past glories.
Keep a firm check on reality when fantasy's about.

Still no official word at EV, maybe theres not going to be one either. My guess on the situation, is that Midge, Billy, Chris, and Warren are coming back, but for a limited time for a few live dates. Not even a full tour as such. Something just to promote the remasters. Even if 'thats all it is', it will still be pretty 'monumental' in terms of how the last 20 or more years have been.
If their back full time, i.e. new album, tour etc......

I particularly loved RIE at the time, and it makes me laugh when I read some peoples ‘review’s’ about it nowadays on Amazon, etc, describing it as overblown, even pretentious. Strangely, after seeing them play during the Monument tour I really lost all interest in them! I think they are most definitely making any united appearance in order to promote the remasters, as for any new work in future, well maybe they should get Louis to join them, he’s got the X factor when it comes to helping to reignite the big engine

I never try to compare them. I have my faves from both. For FoxxVox it is Systems Of Romance. I never got a chance to hear that one live and that is the one that started it all for me.

There's been no news lately re the speculation
|

But just to add fuel to the speculative fire...
1) Why would Chris and Midge be slaving over a hot synth to reproduce the sounds of their old songs? The two thread answer is that a) they are going to do some live dates (otherwise, why bother - just listen to the CD's if they want to hear those sounds!!) and b) Billy can't be joining them as he would have done this for them (surely, as the keyboard player).
All speculation, and just to keep the gossip going!
It would be nice to see them again, but Vienna/RIE/Quarter was all I really got into - the rest fell off my radar and I don't recall even listening to it (I don't have on vinyl).
So throw me back to the eighties - we had Mr Foxx here this year, it would be nice to see Mr Numan pass through Japan (on the way home from Australia next March), followed by the Basildon boys of Depeche Mode on their Universe tour (I think Japan is in the universe, but it seems that I could be wrong and the Universe is just in and around Europe!), and then Ultravox in some form or other, preferably as a quartet.

Ha, thanks for mentioning the 3rd album, I meant of course to say the Quartet tour in my earlier post, not 'Monument?' :rolleyes: and of course the album produced by George Martin, (apologies for going momentarily of topic, but maybe John should have enlisted him for TGS). Would I be interested in a reformed Ultravox? well electro music has moved on in its own way, even with the retro feel of some groups, but I think Ultravox would need to be more radical now, rather than just pick up where they left off, if so, then I might be interested in hearing them again

To parallel seeing John foxx live again this year with the updated sound for many of the tracks, what was on the Youtube snippet was Ultravox trying to sound like Ultravox 20 years ago - forming their own tribute band perhaps (sorry). However, I'd probably go and see them anyway and remember being just 18 the last time I saw them! I generally get sucked into live music pretty quickly and have only "suffered" once or twice (Rolling Stones was one).

Billy can't be joining them as he would have done this for them (surely, as the keyboard player). They have always worked that way on some parts. Theres every chance Midge and Chris were finding the sounds so Billy can just get on and play when hes with them.

Its IMO more likely to be a middle ground Ultravox too. Should they play live that is.

Billy can't be joining them as he would have done this for them (surely, as the keyboard player). The parts they were looking at are not Billy's parts. The bass in Vienna was played by Chris, the string synth in The Voice by Midge cf Monument. I'd imagine that IF Billy is part of the situation, he already knows what he's doing; the parts are primarily piano anyway. For the rest he has been using synths regularly since the 70s up to the present and he has been producing music since the split. He is a highly-trained and highly-skilled musician. He knows what he is doing. For me the question is: is he interested? That he played on Vienna tells me that perhaps he is. I just hope Warren is in on this as well. And that there is new stuff forthcoming. Don't want much really, do I.

I was merely reporting something I read elsewhere; there was no "wouldn't it be good if..." in my post. I couldn't give a toss whether Ultravox reform or not, I was simply passing on information that I thought might be interesting to some on this forum. I shan't bother next time.

Looks like the news about the Urevox reunion broke the Ultravox forum... I was able to get through just after the Ultravox news email went out, but now I'm getting server errors.
Getting through now (slowly). 40 guests plus several registered users online...

Yep, it's going a bit nuts over there at the moment! The server couldn't cope with it last night but Easynet are checking into it this morning. We had 8 million hits last year so it'll be interesting to see how many it'll be this time around. All the details and credit card booking line / web link are here: TOUR DATES . Cheers! Cerise, Rob & Paul.

Hi Maryann,
Have spoken to Cerise this morning. The site has crashed through the huge amount of people trying to access it. As for start time for the pre-sale, the advice EV were given that it would be activated at 9am, but that it seems to have been delayed for reasons unknown to them. As you can imagine, she's getting huge amount of mails and phone calls but she will confirm as soon as she can, access to her own site permitting.
All the best,
EG

Yes, I just found out about the time change myself about 8.50am. I've been trying to get onto the site to post a Forum message (or to send a blanket email) but the server's way too busy and won't let me in. Argh!
Sorry about this - we were told it would be 9am, but Ticketmaster says 12pm, so 12pm it seems to be...
There was only one date up this morning and now there's three, I'm assuming that ALL the dates will be available to book by 12pm.
Cheers,
Cerise.

Typical Ticketmaster.
You know I'd like to say it's a one off but exactly the same thing happend on the OMD 2007 tour and Yazoo last year. Bloody useless they are.
Sorry have been on nights all weekend and stayed up rather than risk trying to get an hour before the sale started...well nearly started.

I think Edinburgh is the only one missing at this point.
*EDIT* It is listed now.

Thats quite jammy Ian.
I cocked up not being used to Ticketaster.
Never mind I was in the front row twice @ the Birmingham Odeon in the 80s when they all had more hair,I wouldnt trade those memories for anything.
I remember shaking Chris Cross's sweaty hand at the end of one of the concerts.
See you in April.
Brian

Brian I too very fondly remember the earlier 80's gigs in Liverpool. Very special time. I had a few problems myself with Ticketmaster. It was asking for a new credit card but I already had one on their system. I had to go back (a few error screens) to go through the payment process again. The clock was counting down but I'm please to say it let me carry on with the transaction. April here we come

A small question, are the front seats at London's Hammersmith any good? Or is this 'circle' better for overview? If anyone can tell me, thanks in advance greetings, fons [edit : got me a ticket somewhere at the front ]

That's good news for non UK-ers who will be able to see the show *despite Europe being completely ignored*....

I'm going though - I will be there not far from the front at Hammersmith. I'm a wee bit concerned though that others who bought tickets at Hammersmith might trade in for the Roundhouse, being standing, more intimate, (better sound?), etc. Fingers crossed I'm not the only person down there!

Now i have tickets ordered to both London Ultravox gigs (2 x 3 tickets). Shame that the gigs are a week apart so very possible we'll only go to Roundhouse gig. I think it is better choice because you can watch it later from DVD.

Has anyone received their tickets for the Birmingham show yet? I ordered mine sharpish when they first came out but nothing yet (although they have taken the money off my credit card).

I'm waiting for Bristol tickets but I have a feeling they won't be sending them out until a week or so before the gig - to stop touts, presumably.

My Hammersmith Tix arrived today - sigh of relief! The thought that they might arrive 48 hours before the date had me scared as I will leave Japan more than 48 hours before the gig!
Then I heard wispers that they might play Japan later in the year..... hmmmm. It may happen, but I think the Hammersmith gig is going to be fun. Looking forward to meeting anyone who may be going. Row B, in front of the right hand speaker stack!!!

i called Ticketmaster UK and cancelled my FedEx delivery and are having my Brighton tickets held at the box office. I was too nervous that the tickets would be on the wrong side of the Atlantic while im on the plane to the UK! I was able to print my Hammersmith tickets at the time of purchase, so those are in hand.

Does anyone know the policy on filming for private use at the Hammersmith Apollo? Or is it not the venue's decision? I am taking my camera anyway to London as I am making it into a 7 day holiday overthere. Otherwise I have to hide it in my underpants again (as with Yazoo's concert in Berlin). Had "Panasonic" mirror-imprinted in my flesh Great video btw :p Anyone?

I'll put something together and post soon. I got quite a few decent photos from Edinburgh and Newcastle and met loads of people from the EV forum including Cerise and Rob. I promised them that they would get my photos first. Ultravox were brilliant and the gigs were way beyond my expectations - quite overwhelming really.....

I just got the full Glasgow gig boot, and it was amazing. The years have not diminished the power and quality of the music. Just 9 days to go before i experience it in person! Can hardly wait!

Funny thing is that I swore I would not peek at any photos or vids but I only made it a couple of hours past the first gig before I was on the web looking around. It hasn't diminished anything; in fact it has heightened my sense of excitement. I guess we can all wait a bit longer; what is a few more hours/days compared to the decades alot of us have been waiting.

I honestly don't think I can be any happier than I am now. Ultravox was unbelievable and worth the trip from New York (though some people could not quite understand why I travelled to see them). Thanks to Billy, Midge, Chris and Warren for everything!

Finally I made it back from my London trip last night. And what a trip it was! Would like to thank Cerise & Rob for organising the Voxgate, it was very very nice indeed. Had the pleasure to meet and talk to; "metal beat", "Mr. Normall" & "Solenoid"...was really nice to see some of the faces behind the nicks Peter & I had a nice talk about Foxx in the middle of a Midgevox crowd...and nobody hurt us As for the actual gig, in one word; phenomenal. Hearing the opening of Astradyne I really got cold shivers. Never ever I thought I would live to hear this live...how times can change (and people ) It is really the best gig I ever got to see so far, the crowd was awesome. And yes, I have been to central-european Depeche Mode gigs as well if you know what I mean Sadly enough I have to skip the Roundhouse gig, which I regret a little bit now :rolleyes: But instead I'll go to the Lokerse Feesten to see them again! Thanks again to ALL, and in particular the mentioned ones, who made this a great event! Pictures coming soon btw Greetings from Rotterdam, fons
