UGLY FANS ONLINE


Michal is from Prague
in the Czech Republic.
He's been a UFO fan for more than 20 years, but only saw them play live for the first time in November 2006.
He was so impressed that he bought Vinnie's underpants, as modeled here by Phil and Pete.
I can't believe I'm typing this.

JARLE is smiling cos he knows there's another glass of wine
hidden under that lampshade
..

Hi! I'm Jarle from Narvik in Norway. I was born in 1964, the very same year Jim Reeves died.
I listened alot to him as a little kid. I live alone with my 11 year old son,
who's about to become a true music lover like me.
I've been a UFO fan ever since I heard the Obsession album in '78,
but unfortunately never had the chance to see the band live.
I'm working as a cook and I love beer, red wine and cognac.

Scott Bond keeps a wary eye out for the Shirt Police

Not much to say, except that I have been a fan of MS and UFO since about the time Lights Out was released, and my appreciation grows stronger each day.
I have seen UFO 4 times, but only once with MS.
For that one I had to drive from Memphis to Chicago, about 530 miles. That was the WOW tour. I have since seen Michael solo twice, shows also requiring 200 to 250 miles one way to attend.
So altogether, I have driven over 2000 miles to see the shows.
As you can appreciate, the knowledge that he may or may not go on
at the end of the drive makes it almost a religious experience.
I finally became inspired enough last year to finally get off my ass and learn to play guitar.
As you'll see in the photo, I am following in the masters' footsteps in gear choice at least.
Notice the posters in the left and right background as well.
Those are two of the seven Schenker posters that grace "The Pit",
which is what my wife calls the basement.

This dad's an angry man....
I was born in Hackensack, NJ. I presently live in Arden, NC with my wife and 3 (count em) daughters (I bless them all but none know who the fuk Michael Schenker IS let alone UFO).
I was a late bloomer in that I didn't get into Schenker till 1982. In 1984, my wife (soon to be ex) bought me tickets to see MSG in El Paso, TX for my birthday. From then on I have been a BIG Schenker fan. I am exactly 2 months younger than Mikey, which qualifies him to officially call me sonny.
I would say that my claim to fame is that I invented the output connector of the power supply for the Intel Itanium microprocessor. I am presently employed as a "Development Engineer" for a manufacturer of fiber optic infrastructure products. I have a BSME in Mechanical Engineering and hold an MBA in finance (a plug for those interested). Now, what the fuk else does everyone what to know? Oh yes, my Yahoo Schenker clubs....( my Yahoo alias is schenker_rules) And.. oh yes... my name. It's Jay.

PAUL PAGETT is Armed and Ready.
Armed and ready to go 53 seconds
with a doorless wardrobe.
In one way, he doesn't scare me.
But in another way, he does....

Gail from Rhode Island

Well, what can I say except she's just too damn skinny by half.
I only agreed to put her photo on this website cos
she is a friend of Tilly on the No Heavy Petting page.
Oh yeh, and cos she wrote a great review of the Barry Sparks gig in January.

At a guess, this photo is at least 20 years old. Or it's of her grand-daughter. Yeh, that'll be it.

It's an old trick but it might just work....

Vinnie and Phil play a supporting role as Glenn
and Pete are hoist aloft from the hat-stand in an
attempt to make them appear upright and sober.

Jason and Paul nonchalantly block off
each of the side-views, (anybody would think they'd done this before) and the promo shoot for the Showtime dvd in Wilhelmshaven
can go ahead as planned.

And here we have Karen who chose to write her own bio for the SITN page.
Very wise, for one so young - but we already know from her taste in music
and t-shirts that she's smart!

Karen says...
"I come from the land where wheat is still wheat...
and by that I mean the Pacific Northwest! Or God's country, as I like to call it.
I'm 18, and I enjoy playing bass, reading, cooking, etc, etc.
Favorite bands are (do I even need to say it?) UFO, Scorpions, Dokken, Robin Trower, Trouble, Montrose, and so on and so forth!"

 


This is SPUD
I'm sure if I search for long enough
I'll find out why he's called that
but at the moment it's just not poking me in the eye

 

 

PAUL loves UFO, Megadeth, Type O Negative, Kings X,
Pink Floyd and Metallica. He lives in Hollywood
but is originally from Oregon and
wants to do charity work with animals,
which is why he's here with us in SITN

FRYTZ from Germany
takes a break from explaining the rules
of 'Stone Scissors Paper' to Michael
yet again. But no, Michael still keeps mixing it up with 'Shoot Shoot'...

Phillip from Bournemouth had a day off work
so decided not to waste it

"You might be thinking - 'whats wrong with this bloke', well...
I've had a day off work and I'm bored!
So here it is - me and my UFO/Waysted/Pete Way/Mogg-Way/Paul Chapman/Schenker/Paul Raymond/Sign of 4 cds,
a few dvds here as well - 70 items in total. Do I win some kind of award for being a sad git?
Why do I looked worried? My mate was threatening to nick my Schenker Odd Trio cd, cos apparently its rare!
"

STEVE is from Eye-owwwwwerrrrrrr and enjoys
pretending to be album titles.
I can't work out whether this is Walk On Water, Sharks, or errrmmmm Dancing With St. Peter.

Hey, Timothy, where do you come from?
Does he come from the earth?
Does he come from the sea?.....
Nope, Tim is from Aurora Illinois
(Wayne and Garth country - we are not worthy).
Tim is married with a son who is called Michael.
There's devotion for ya.

No, there's nothing wrong with your eyes.
Everything looks this blurred when you've been hanging round with UFO too long.

SIMON from Uddersfield, England, snook a day off school to go and meet his heroes. But Manchester United were playing away that day, so he ended up
going to a UFO gig instead.
Still, I expect he learnt far more that day
than if he'd gone to school.


Daggerman and Pete share a joke
about Aston Villa....

.....so why isn't Pete laughing?
Cos football is a serious business, that's why.
Blimey, even gurls know that.

Heyyyyy, Mr. Coooool Jazz Nights
With a head full of hammers,
both feet in the grave,
he's gonna stand up and rise again....
This is LAZLOR from Belgium.
Nyyyyyyyyyyyce

JOHN WILDE, aka Devonjohn is now (according to his poor long-suffering wife)
"a sad old Rock Dad"

John says.... I first saw UFO at Lancaster University in 1979.

With that group of strangers in the night, I developed an obsession with the
phenomenon that is UFO.

That young blood is now long gone, but I am still a wild one.

Sadly - the only other member of the family I can drag to see UFO
is my Morris Minor - Lettice *.

We both really enjoyed Falmouth and she has nothing but
UFO on her multi changer to Keep on Rockin'

* 'Lettice' is named thusly, not because she looks mouth-wateringly good
next to this pickled onion here on the left of the picture, but because
at the start of every journey,  John says 'Please let us get there in one piece'


Tom Lancaster is from Joliet
