To all, a silly bunch of comments, treasure the fact that they did get together and have done all of those songs that might not of ever got airplay again, treasure the fact that they did them extremely well. Times change, people get older, look in the mirror sometime. if you want to see something truly tragic may I recommend Bucks fizz 2009 circa.

The lads look bloody gorgeous. Moreover, nearly thirty years on, THEY ROCK.

oh how i love this band, have done since i was a wee young girl of about 11, i'm now 43, ultravox have been my favourite band and will always remain my favourite, can't wait to see the boys in sheffield and yes wendymiller7, the boys were always gorgeous and they still are to this day :)

It wasn't until I went to see Ultravox last year (and again this year) that I realised how great their music is and how entertaining they are live.

[UU2]

They all look good, except Warren and Midge have gotten a wee bit pudgy. When I saw Warren, all I could think was "Dude! Get on the treadmill!" ; )

[FaceInTheRain]

Their music sounds better than all of the garbage that's at the top of the charts these days. Judging from the clips I've seen here on Youtube, they still sound great. Yeah, so they've aged and gained some weight, and maybe they should have taken some time to shape up some. But let's face it, we're all headed that way.

So did I *sob* Wish we could go back to 1980!

[chrisnoaro1]

cool, awesome group, love all their stuff. a new album would be nice, but no worriesif it doesn't come together,a beautiful body of work

[pupizzo99]

Probably not only Ultravox 're changed but so does we........ in comparison to 80 th.

The "look" change.....what remains are unforgettable song of an unforgettable band.

It Is also noteworthy the modesty and the kindness of the band component during the interview, thing not always common.

I loved this band since I was little. I can honestly say their music is not at all out dated and lost, in fact it is very inspirational and touches your soul!!! Especially the song "Visions in Blue"! Love you Midge!!!!!
