Hi All!
Spotted this on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koocg4cGfBQ
Chris & Midge checking out some Ultravox samples recently.
Kind regards All!
Rob.

WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

It`s just incredible great to see you Chris!!!!

All The Best from Denmark!!!!

WOW, WOW WOW..... FANTASTIC!

This clip just wasn't long enough! So what were they doing? This is going to set the rumour mill into overdrive big time!!!!
ooooohhhhh it's sooooo exciting!

I can't believe it I am actually teary-eyed!! This is fantastic!

Thank you very very much for this

They are in Midge's garden shed studio.

Compare the way it looks to this Sound on Sound video of Midge's studio.

They seem to recreate the old Ultravox sounds. And why should they do it, if not for a revival tour?

And only sounds from tracks on Vienna & RIE were played so it has to be a tour to support the remasters.

Midge is wearing the same top as he wore at the Abbey Road session.So the MU & CC meet up must have been recent.

I think I have watched this 20 times already!

whilst you may be correct - Midge is not royalty ( yet ) and is allowed to appear in public wearing the same clothes twice.

[hysteria]

...and he's using his right hand!

His right hand, for Lordies sake!!!!!!

Don't you all know what this means??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[/hysteria]



PS: "...follow the gourd...!"

Yes, it proves once and for all that he plays the keys at that end of the instrument right handed, not left, as previously thought.

knew it....

...I bloody knew it!...

It's a sign...a SIGN a tell you all!!

Bwahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

On a slightly more genteel point:

Could someone...anyone actually...just give us the merest hint of actual info as to what (if anything) is going on?

Y'know..a little feline / sack unleashing fest?

You know you'll feel better if you do...

And I can almost certainly guarantee a comfortable place for you in the hereafter / Nirvana / Valhalla / Middle Earth, etc...should such a plane of existence ...er...exist..

Sort of...

What? You want a website sponsored 'cat fight' after keeping them tied up in a bag so as to make them mad? You're an insane and cruel man.

Could it be that Warren is in the air right now on a 747 heading for Heathrow!!!

Sir.

You forget that I'm Welsh.

Professional cat-duelling (or 'Mae Chat Un Fightio' as we say in these parts) is a respectable pass-time for some..

Please remember, these are no ordinary cats either. Bred from the finest Welsh Duelling stock some of these creatures can trace their ancestry all the way back to last Wednesday.

Why, just yesterday a feline punch-up of almost Olympic proportions between current Welsh Champion Paperweight 'Ponty Slugger' and the pacifistic pretender to that title, 'Pixel The Wonder Kitten' ended in a surprising win for the newcomer when he spiked his opponents favourite fishy treats with catnip.

So I snort in derision at your claims of cruelty, insanity. Further, your implied rubbing of my nose in my race's intellectual deficiencies, lack of height and unrestricted use of Sir Tom Jones in built-up areas is completely without precedent or justification.

Sir: I bid you ta-raaaaa!



PS: for those of you of a nervous disposition, here's a cute picture of the winner just to prove all is well in the world. Ah, bless....

But I'm just thinking, didn't Warren decide to quit playing drums and make the switch to electric guitar many years ago? I read somewhere that he did but I'm not sure, can anyone clarify?

Cromlech, Sir,

Your posting has made me smile, albeit I take nothing back from my original reply. I have to say though; judging by your photo, that Tom Jones has let himself go a bit hasn't he? And I always thought he was much taller...

What's with the flower necklace?

This reminds me of a thread M and i were going to start over at 'Metamatic', where we all post pictures of our pets.

Really, that would be too much. A picture of Tom Jones in his 'Flower Power' period is really quite enough.

And being the master wordsmith, K was going to call it 'Petamatic'.

And everyone would have groaned to the same old tune...

Ive never dressed any cats up as Tom Jones, but naturally we had a few Toms.

We never did the thread, as we thought about bandwidth.

Especially with Maryann's cats.

All way off topic at the mo' but heres the one time for people to see M's girls. PX and PK.

Nice Pussy

Can we all get back on track noo!

UUUUUULTRAVOX!

C'MON BOYS, YE KNOW YE WANT TO !!!

Really. Well, that's not unusual I guess.



Yeah, ok - it was lame. A self imposed groan for me there...

:rolleyes:

Thanks, K. They love Ultravox too!

Thats true, they do!! And were nicely back on topic.

What, no Cat Stevens? No Atomic Kitten in their collection?

Moggy Moggy Moggy
OI, OI, OI

Oh dear, I must stay away from the Great North Run

Aye kidda, like ye dae the keypad on yer blower!!! :p

Stupid question: who recorded this video? Who is cambox2? First I thought it might be Berenice Hardman but this seems to be wrong.

You know, if we know who it is, we know who has to be tortured to tell us what they have spoken and why they did these excersises.

Playing drums is like riding a bike. Once you learned, it´s not that hard to pick up again.

True in a sense, but the fitness level to perform for that long might be hard to get back at his age ( sorry Warren )and if he hasn't picked up his sticks in 25 years.....and fairplay to him he used to batter the shite out of them skins!!

Well, we really don`t know that, do we!

We don't...but its bloody great fun speculating eh Jesper...

You are completely right Chooch!!!!
It really is!!!!

But I really don`t want anybody else
to do the drums!!!!
Warren was the drummer in Ultravox!!!!
Warren is the drummer in Ultravox!!!!
Warren will always be the drummer in Ultravox!!!!

I agree Jesper...theres only one Warren and im sure the differences that led to Warren being asked to leave are a distant memory now...it wouldn't be the same if they got back together and Warren wasn't involved ( who's going to sing ( or talk ) on MR X if he don't agree!!!)

Warren if your lurking get those sticks dusted down and cut back on them ciggies!!!

Sure he have to practice a bit, but at least, he doesn´t have to play 3-4 four hours sets of very physical drumming behind Bruce Springsteen like Max Weinberg, who´s in the same age. An Warren can probably rest a bit in numbers like "Vienna" or "Visions in blue" and other tracks with electronic percussion.

But this thread is about Chris, and why don´t we worry about forthcoming blisters on his fingers after starting rehearsing bassguitar after a very long time?

Regards Björn

Nobody will get blisters (or various forms of exhaustion) if they reunite and reimagine the old songs in kind of a laid-back lounge style, a la Eric Clapton's unplugged update of Layla.

Beware! "All stood still" in a laid back lounge style . I also prefer the original "Layla" version.

//Björn

Is it just me, or is the video now totally GONE from YouTube?? Ack!


Genny

No, it's still there: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Koocg4cGfBQ

UGH! Thank you, Cerise! I was searching on the US version. LOL Silly me!

I'd have to agree, having just watched Chris play the bass guitar for the first time in many years.

Cheers
