NEWS, ADDITIONS, CHANGES

March 20, 2003... Uploaded 4 pics that had previously been missing. Group shot to Animal House page , scan of a ticket to No Limits page , Dee Snider banner to Linx , and my pig to About Me .

March 19, 2003... Worked on my Linx

March 17, 2003 5pm... Added some current info and a pic of my babies to About Me .

March 17, 2003.... Fixed the link to my message board on the front page . Want to know my plans for this site? Talked about this in bulls#!t .

March 14, 2003... Uploaded 6 pics from various pages that were missed. Added notes about an additional show to Tour 2000 . Minor changes to Index , UDO , Holy , memorabilia , audio and magazines pages. Still trying to get this site to look like a 2003 site! Also on the interviews page I removed the reference that Frank's interview would be continued. I removed the long list of additional questions I had sent him previously listed on the page with Frank's interview . I haven't been in contact at all with anyone associated with Accept or UDO for over 2 1/2 years.

March 12, 2003... On the side projects and pages I removed the mp3 links. I no longer have any of those songs on mp3. I completely removed the Accept Live page for the same reason. If you're interested in anything listed throughout the site, let me know and I may still have the song(s) and be able to make arrangements to get the mp3s to you.

March 11, 2003 1:30pm...  WOW!! It's hard for me to believe this site is actually returning to the net after over a 2 year absence! A couple factors where involved. The main reason  had to do with the fact I haven't even seen this site myself for a couple years. It had been stored on someone else's comp and the files I had were wiped clean along with everything else on my comp. This past week I just felt the need to see everything, and I figured if I did, someone else must want to as well. I also just realized today that with the recent developments with wolfhoffmann.com shutting down, that really doesn't leave much of anything on the net for Accept (if you have a site and are offended, keep in mind I haven't surfed for Accept sites in a long time). 

PLEASE DO NOT LINK THIS SITE AT THIS TIME! We are in the process of selling our home and moving from Missouri to Ohio and this of course is a temporary address. I haven't planned out yet the plans for this site when we move.

Please pardon the dust! There will be at least 4-5 broken images throughout the site. I will be working the next couple days to make minor changes.

The following link is to an explanation page I had put up sometime late in 2000 detailing why I had taken this site down. While I still agree with what I said at the time... it really does not reflect how I feel today. Now in 2003 I'm not really concerned about what UDO does. If they tour here, put out a dvd or album.... fine. If they don't they don't. I'm more concerned about raising my kids and selling this house. Click here for those pages.

A couple other things I'd like to mention. Some of the pages used to have audio links to them, however none of those will work now because I  did not save any of the audio files.... except the introduction from the main page. My audio concerts page contains a list of shows that I USED to have.... I gave most of those tapes away. Also, the memorabilia section again is all stuff I no longer have. I sold the majority of my collection right around the same time as wolf's auctions. The image map index talked about below I guess I no longer have. The only thing I can figure is that the file size was too large and I decided not to save it?

Below you will see just 2 months worth of updates from 2000. Imagine if I would have listed all my updates for the entire first four years and you can understand the difference between this site and the official sites!  Check back for more comments from me or changes to the site.

March 11, 2003 6:30pm... Off and on for the last 5 hours I have been going thru the site and fixing links and such. It get's complicated because at one time this site was spread out over 3 servers I believe. Bear with me. I keep getting surprised when I see different things. I couldn't believe my bulletin board still existed and worked. Even more surprising is my old guestbook. If you have the time to read thru that guestbook, there are some noteable posts from Mathias Dieth, Michael Wagner and even Peter Baltes if I remember correctly. That bullshit page is a real trip! HA! That was before I had kids. It was also wild reading that "Napster" subpage... HAHAHA! And even a link to the Napster site too!  I've been slowed down today because the server hosting this site has been very slow all day. I chatted with a tech support person who said there was maintenance today on the server and these slow-downs are rare. Hopefully he wasn't putting me on.

August 23, 2000 8:40pm... Added some "important" information to bulls#!t- I'm retiring from working on this page (for the second time). Unlike the last time I quit, the page will remain online. So long...

August 23... The main index is completely changed. I now have a much simplified front page. It includes an image map to all the main areas of the site, and an animated background image. Also the title of this site has been simplified. I won't bother with contacting people that have me linked already and have them change it. It's just for future reference. Originally, I had planned to have the map on more pages... like a different way of doing frames. But I've decided to just go with it on the front page. I had several other trials and images that I used before the final one. It's really had to find the right image....and I haven't found it yet! I like the background on there now, but it's not perfect.

August 17... On Index and Index 2 I removed all the "last updated..." notations from all the subpages that had them. That information can be found on this news page and on many of those subpages, so the information was not necessary. Replaced the guestbook  link in Index 2 with my bulletin board link . Added some bullshit. It's been so wierd today because I've been bored out of my mind, and there's stuff I could have added to the page and didn't. Funny how these things work in streaks.

August 16... Typed up and added one of the interviews I recieved from Nuclear Blast- Battle Helm magazine . Added that to magazines .  I re-arranged the magazine list and did it chronologically instead of  by name of magazine. I think that simplifies things more, and it's easier to pick out just the newer articles to read if you want for instance. Also added a new poll to this site! It's on the front page...so head over and vote! It's simplistic and there are ads, but I needed to find something with not much HTML coding required. I haven't decided yet how often the question will change. Also just a reminder about my message board being back up. Remember that for some news it's easier for me to post the news in that board rather than here when I don't have much time....so please check it regularly! I've added some new info to it 3 straight days now.

August 14... 9am Added (the great!!) UDO CT 2000 show to videos . Added 2 King Diamond and 3 Journey shows to videos2. Added '93 Jap tour book, 7 cds and 7 promo cards to memorabilia.

5:30pm Re-created my message board . Took the link to my guestbook down. No sence having both.

August 11... Back from Ohio last night. NB's package arrived with a thick stack of copies of magazine articles/interviews/reviews from all over...and most all of it is recent too. I plan on putting quite a bit of that stuff online soon. Also recieved several complimentary cds and photos from them as well. We were involved in a car wreck Wednesday ($$Cha-Ching!!$$) We're fine, but I may be busy with messing around with insurance companies, getting estimates and all that garbage. So the updates will come, but be patient. Recieved a brief e-mail from Frank. He wasn't upset about my website taken down. He said he's been very busy (probably didn't even notice). He said dates for Spain in September were set, with more to come.

August 4... Recieved another mail from Nuclear Blast. They're going to be sending me several photos and some press release type stuff. In their words "some good, some bad" info.  Who knows, maybe I'll get some juicy gossip to add here. Again, I'll be out of town next week. I finished uploading the files on the grapevine side. Some links and images won't show up (mainly in the photo history) until I can get everything back to lower case. Uploaded a couple files on theglobe side. Also the bulletin board is still down. It's odd because the help files say there is no way to delete a board. Yet I went to search for mine and it's gone. I'd say that's a way to delete it??? As a sidenote to the 7/19 notes, this past Monday we discovered that twins are on the way!!!! Peace.

August 3... Over the past few days, a representative with Nuclear Blast exchanged a few e-mails with me. She agreed that she would do everything she could to keep me informed. I trust that she's sincere and I brought the page back online. Only the grapevine side is online tonight... will bring the mirror site back soon. If a lack of communication continues, I'm not sure what I will do. This site could eventually just remain online as a dead tribute page... but I WILL work on it for the time being! Also there may be some problems with some links. The links are case sensitive (that's the problem). I'll work on that as much as I can this weekend. This Sunday  I'm leaving out of town for a week and won't be woking on the page.

July 26... I took this entire site offline. For those seeing this after the down period...I took it down because I was upset that the band were granting interviews to very small and obscure websites instead of their main UDO sites. I had a blank front page titled "I Quit" and 2 subpages detailing my reasons, and stating for the page to return, I would have to be in at least some form of regular contact with the band/management and or label.

July 20... I've created a new message board at ezboard for Accept and UDO discussions! I've been using EZ boards for a few months now and really like them. The board is also linked from my main index. Please sign in!! If I could just get 1 or 2 people to start discussing the bands with me there, other people, when they first see the board, will see that it's an active board (unlike Wolf's) and the chances of them joining in will be greater. Detailed above on this page and on the index page about how news that I hear from other sites I will list in the bulletin board.
July 19... We just found out yesterday that I'M GONNA BE A DAD!!!!!!!!!
My wife had a couple positive tests over the weekend, and we just confirmed it at the doctor's yesterday that a new Accept fan is on the way 7 months, 3 weeks from today!!!

July 18.... I won an award yesterday!! This site actually was named Anna's Pick of the Month!!!! Click the award to check out her site..... Wuhoooooo!! By the way, just so you know I don't totally suck....only 2 of the awards I've ever won are listed on this site. Other awards that I've won include: October Pride student of the month (7th grade), numerous perfect attendence and scholastic awards in middle school, 2-time RPS monthly all-star, RPS employee of the month, perfect attendence award Staff Management, nominated for WalMart orderfilling associate of the month..... that's right nominated... couldn't win that one!

Removed the link to the audio introduction from the index. I don't have that clip on cd. I will return the intro sometime if I get it on cd.
Also added to bulls#!t .

July 17... ALL of the audio is now re-recorded and available! Recorded the remaining songs off the tribute page and all 4 songs off the Side project page . Also added Godgory- Princess of the Dawn to the Tribute page list. Even though it's not Accept memorabilia, I added my new Peter Baltes w/Dokken guitar pic to memorabilia .

July 15 7pm... Added 2 photos to the About Me page. One is a pic of me in my current Accept shrine . The other is me and my UNBORN FETAL PIG! My pig is finally online!!! The most hardcore thing to EVER grace the internet buddy! The story behind the pig is also included on the About Me page.

July 14-15... I've decided to make the audio available on Napster and thru other arrangements rather than finding drive space online. I've created a "Napster" subpage detailing how you can get a hold of all my Accept related mp3s. The entire Lund concert, and all the clips listed on the Accept Live page are completed and available. Also 1 song so far off the Tribute page . Everything on the Tribute and Side projects page has to be re-recorded.

July 12... Bad news. This morning, most of my globe usernames were revoked. This means that most all of the audio on this page is not going to work. The next step for me will be to find additional storage space from other servers. This will take quite some time to fix everything. I doubt I will work on it this week. You can understand the situation I'm in.... I just spent 6 straight days and almost 20 hours of work to get those songs online, and the next morning after the last upload..... nothing. In addition, some of the pics from the Tour2000 page were stored on one of those usernames as well, I didn't keep them on this computer... so they will all have to be rescanned some year. This really sux people!!

July 11... Finished uploading the rest of the Lund 93 songs!

July 9... Added Lund 93- Too High To Get it Right, The King, Metal Heart, X-T-C, Objection Overruled to Accept Live .

July 8... Added Lund 93- Winterdreams, Restless and Wild, Son of a Bitch, TV War to Accept Live .

July 7... 4am- Added  Lund 93- Animal House to Accept Live .
                           9pm- Added Neon Nights

July 6... Removed the disclaimer page.  Removed the 2 Faceless World tour songs from the live page. They were bad quality and the cd versions I just recieved were poor quality as well. Updated Tributes page.... added Witchery "Fast as a Shark" info and removed the Rage pic (that was not the actual album cover). Some info was shown on both Project 1 and Project 2 ... fixed that.

I downloaded a ripper today and made MP3 versions of most of Lund 93 from a cd at 128kps. The problem is, the uploading of those files is going really slow.  The first 8 songs from that show are up now on the Accept/UDO live page .

July 3... Special thanks to Jose, who sent me a copy of the free magazine called Midwest Beat (a Chicago area magazine). It contained a small ad for the Lansing show, an article/interview and a review of Holy. Added those articles. Also, I've just heard that someone videotaped the CT show. Hopefully I can get a hold of a copy of that soon!

June 30... Special thanks to Aitor for e-mailing in two scans from a recent copy of a British magazine called Powerplay. The first jpg image is an interview with Udo 288k , and the second is a concert review 208k ! Also added this info to magazines . There's also a "new" interview with Udo at hardradio . Also yesterday, in probably a foolish attempt, I e-mailed Frank (the UDO manager), a "resume" with my interest in taking over the official UDO site . For those that don't know, by the end of the year, the site is supposed to be changing servers and webmasters. There never was a contest or anything by the band to find a webmaster, but something I felt I had to at least try to do. I wouldn't have e-mailed in if I didn't think I could do a good job. If anyone reading this would like to cast a vote for me (then again, they may already have the next guy picked already) or express your concerns, e-mail Frank at LTTAHEAD@aol.com With whoever they choose to have run the site, hopefully it is someone that has not only the time, but also the dedication.
