UGLY FANS ONLINE


Meet Dave. He's not as ugly as he looks.

Dave is a maths lecturer, which may surprise you because he doesn't look the slightest bit intelligent.
He spends most of his day playing Online Quake and talkin to strange wimmin on the internet.

He enjoys blowing up his collection of inflatable insects, which he swears is a relevant part of his job. He often throws sweets to his students to test whether they are awake or not.

Be warned, this is what happens if you send me a picture and don't write your own write-up. He's lucky I never told you all about the time when.....

Marko and Rudi shake hands on the deal to swap places for a year.
Marko will get fame and fortune and Rudi will get to stand in the front row at a Scorps gig.
Everybody wins.

HANS is called HANS because.....
well, there is a clue in the picture....


Hi this is Hans, from that great town of Chicago.
I have been a fan of the band since 1977 when I was introduced to the Lights Out album.
Isn't this internet thing cool?
I am an accountant and damn proud of it.
If only I hadn't failed in my first profession.....
there just aren't enough gynecologists in the world.
I just didn't know you had to get a doctorate to practice.

Ed, in his Lights Out overalls

I am Edward Glasser, born in Chicago IL., but grew up in El Paso, Tx. Currently residing in Tokyo, Japan. (It is a long story).
I am 37 years old and been listening to UFO and Schenker since mid 70s. I currently work at Yokota AB, Japan. Our government will hire anyone, haha...
My favorite things to do - listen to hard rock. drink beer, go to concerts and play softball. Looking forward, to seeing UFO or MS in Japan soon. I`d list my favorite bands, but there are too many.

 

LEE JONES, pictured here on the right, met up with Michael in Tamworth in 2008.

This photo was taken just after Lee confessed to Michael about
a few little white lies which he'd posted in the SITN chatgroup
some years earlier.....

Luckily for Lee, Michael saw the funny side of it, so it was smiles all round and a thumbs-up from Lee.

CHRISTOPHER
from Birmingham, Alabama

Christopher poses in front of his stack like a professional 'amps and valves' man - but he has a Gibson Flying V, so he can't be all bad.
His band is called George and the G-Men.
(I'm guessing that G is for 'gorgeous')
Gottle of Geer

Jolly Joel recites the alphabet whilst perched on the knee
of Tom Araya of Slayer.

He reached 'F' just as that pint slipped out of his hand.

Meet Peter, from Holland.

I'm Peter Mondria, born March 25, 1964.
Married with a lovely wife, and I have three sons: Maikel!, Jordi and Sander.
I have been an avid fan of MS/UFO for more than 20 years, that is why I am currently having my own website about him.
My hobbies and interests include: (hard)rockmusic/visit concerts, beekeeping, computer, cooking and drinking, mountainbiking.
Other fav. bands: UFO, Axel Rudi Pell, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy.

Beam me up, Scotty
Hello World! My name is Scott Kugler. I am 37 years old and call Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA home. I caught the UFO bug by hearing a cover band do their rendition of "Too Hot to Handle" in the early 80's and loved the song. Went to the record store and got the real thing and have been hooked ever since. Some of my other favorites besides the UFO family tree are Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Riot, YandT, and Oasis, to name just a few. I work for a telecommunications company that is based in Coventry, England (Marconi Communications) as a Technical Support Engineer but our US headquarters is here in Pittsburgh. Although I am a Yank, I love British comedy. I also am a huge sports fan. Baseball, football, golf, and hockey are my favorites. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and favorite guitarists include MS, Uli, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Ronnie Montrose, and Paul Gilbert. I also listen to our friend Mark Madden's sports radio show everyday. (Don't hold that aggin' me). I'm single, never married, no kids.
This Skid's........ gettin tired, hangin around.

Wife: Deb, married 3/23/96 two stepsons: Jeff 20 (from previous marriage) and Jon 16. Work for local electric company 23 years. UFO/Schenker and Iron Maiden are the soundtrack of my life.
Conrad wants to make it quite clear that he is NOT lookin for romance
Conrad was born in West Wales in 1968. He is married to Gail and has 4 kids (there aint much to do in Wales). He moved to Swindon, England last year, and his work is some really boring job which has to do with databases and SQL statements and all that stuff. He goes to see loads of bands - and most of them actually turn up and play the gig.

Here is a picture of him on a recent trip to America. He is in a toy shop trying on Harry Potter glasses, which he says were for his children - but then he would say that, wouldn't he.

MAGNUS

I've been a Schenker/UFO/MSG fan before I even was born. That means that I was a fan before Jesus was born! [Beat that if You can!] hahahahaha.

My name is Magnus Beronius and I live in Stockholm/Sweden, born in the summer of -68. I have a little son, born in November '97. Well - today I work as a Administration Assistant within a Business Development Unit in a big bank. Most of my leisure time is spent with my family or in front of my PC building my webpage.

I love BEER and single malt Whiskey, my favourite whiskey is Lagavulin!

TANIA
is from Florida, and sadly she hasn't quite grasped the concept
that no-one in SITN is allowed to be more gorgeous than Batttttty is.

Sort yerself out woman - eat more pies and shove a bag over yer head
if you ever want me to allow my UFO boyyyys to play in Florida.

Young Michael (sitting here in the main man's chair) heard news of the 1993 reunion in Germany and immediately booked non-refundable tickets from Newark, NJ to land in Frankfurt in Germany and take it from there….

Michael says...
"This photo, snapped in Nurnberg, Germany on 23rd December 1993 was in the Resi Halle dressing room, just before the gig.  Pete Way graciously granted an interview which was published in the very first edition of “Misty Green and Blue” and later, in “Shoot out the Lights”.  The show was worth the flight!!!  Amazing reunion - knew it could not last forever!!!
