Hi Mick,
Long time fan, if I count right I think I have seen UH 9-10 times in Gothenburg area, first time 1985.
My question is, during the years I think (correct me if I am wrong), you have never stand as composer alone for any UH songs, why so? What part of music composing do you want to split with others? And a short bonus question, Which part had David Byron in the composing of July Morning?

Hi Mick. I'm a Uriah Heep fan since the early 70s. I believe the period where the band created masterworks like Look at Yourself, Demons & Wizards and The Magician's Birthday should be regarded as some of the best rock music ever by a group My question is, outside of the extended set the band recorded at Shepperton, why is there so little film/video of Uriah Heep performing back then? Might there be a treasure trove lurking in the basement of Bronze Records or yours perhaps? I certainly hope so and would love to see those moments released. Thanks and cheers.

Greetings! Like many folks I prefer the early days of Heep overall, although I do enjoy music from every Heep era. I know this can be tiresome for musicians who have been around long enough to hear these thoughts. What I wonder is: Does the wonder and sense of exploration still live within?

I’ve been a fan since seeing Heep open for Savoy Brown in San Antonio, Texas in 1972. The latest album is amazing and I wanted to ask where you find the energy at your (our) age to produce the energy and enthusiasm so evident on the album and on stage? Flying over to see the London show next October. Keep rolling the rock!

Over the years live recordings by the mighty Heep have released, these have been with David, John and Bernie on vocals. Nothing official has been released with John Sloman and Pete Goalby on vocals. Has there ever been recordings made with the latter and if so would they ever be made available. Having seen the band with all the vocalists except for Steph Fontaine it would complete my library of Heep.

Hello Mick ! Hope you're all getting well !
"The Magician's Birthday Party" recorded in 2001 was a wonderful moment but we only have 12 tracks on CD ! Do you know if there is a chance one day to have a great CD pack with all the songs played this evening ? Apparently "Lady in Black" was also played with the great Thijs van Leer at this occasion. Is there a record for this song ?
Thanks for your kindness and your eternal smile !

Hi Mick,
First of all, thank you very much for all your efforts to keep in touch with the fans. Let's hope that there will be concerts again soon. We are on "cold turkey". Here is my question:
A friend and I go to every concert if your in the west of Germany or the Netherlands and we always wait for "Circle of hands". Why do you never play the song? Don't you like the slide guitar solo? It's a real classic and it would certainly please many fans. All the best to you and the whole group. Hope to see you soon

Nils Henrik Teigen - Tønsberg, Norway
Hi Mick,
I've been a Uriah Heep fan for almost fifty years and have seen the band live on numerous occasions. The first album I ever bought was Look At Your Self, and became an avid fan of the band from that moment. In my opinion, I think that the song Look At Your Self is one of the greatest rock songs ever made and stands the test of time like a rock. The fantastic percussions of Osibisa is the icing of the cake on the song, and it still after nearly 50 years gives me enormous pleasure to listen too. My question is: How did the cooperation with Osibisa come about, and how was it to work with them in the studio. Did you have them with you on stage back in the 70's or was it just a one off with the 2004 Magicians Birthday Party.
Thanks for all the great music through the years.

Hi Mick
I grew up listening to Heep when I was just a little boy in the 90’s. I know this question will infuriate some fans but would you ever consider playing anything from the Conquest and Equator albums? They seem to be marmite albums with Heep fans but I think there’s some great tracks on both. Maybe pull a song out for the 50th Anniversary tour?
All the best

Hey Mick, i am a young heavy metal maniac and Uriah Heep is one of my favorite bands, and my question is when did you hear the term heavy metal and do you like Heep being called heavy metal? i know Heep are many things and you cant really put a genre on Heep, its all rock n roll right? but Heep has done a lot for heavy metal and music in general.
Sorry for the weird english, Cheers from Sweden :)

Hi Mick!
I continue to be mesmerized by Gary Thain's playing. He played boldly, delivering a lot of notes, and yet every note sounds exactly right, making Heep's music three-dimensional, and airborne.
I am wondering, what kind of process was it for him to work out his bass parts? Did he ever screw up? What was it like to work with him? Please share any memories you might have about him. There's not enough talk about this genius of rock bass.
Cheers,
Timo Lehtinen

Hi mick, been a Uriah Heep fan for over 45 years, your music is still awesome to this very day, I'm just wondering over the years, I've been following Heep, is there any group or artist you would have loved to played with, past or present, or you have regrets not doing so, like Trevor playing with Bowie. Lee with Ozzy, Ken with Livefire. etc.
Would just like to know if you had any fav bands or artists you would have loved to play with. to me you are one of the finest guitarists Britain or the world has ever produced.
Keep going mick you are a credit to the music industry.
Bye Mick.
Long Live Heep.

Hi Mick. I would love to read a book on the biography of Uriah Heep. There are a few. Which would you suggest as the best and most accurate?
I have always thought Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Uriah Heep were the top three bands in the day, but Uriah Heep was my all-time favorite, and I thought the best of the three (by far)!!!
How is it even possible that Uriah Heep has to fight to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? And why is Mick Box not mentioned as one of the best rock and roll guitarists of all time?!?!?
I missed you guys a few years ago and would give my right arm to see you and the band. Heard you may return to the U.S in 2021 or 2022. How can I be sure to catch you next time? Join your fan club? Please put the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) on the tour schedule!!!!! Thanks for keeping Uriah Heep alive and thriving Mick!!!! Dave Hafner

Remember? You dubbed it the "moonshine capital of the world"' lol....anyway, here is the question: I really like the song "Hard way to learn" from the Japanese edition of Into the Wild but I can't find a copy of it. Are there any plans to release that song in the future on CD or download? I could ask a million questions but I'll leave it at that.

Hey Mick you remember me the one who wants you in New

I have tried to contacted your managers to no reply ,but you know I wasn't expecting it .But I thought I would give you a bit more of a run down about me .I have managed my own band for 30 years plus ..And as you know we are very small ,witch makes for no easy feet ..We are in the process of releasing a double album vinyl of all our stuff and a introduction cd ..
Anyhow I have contacts with other bands here our top band Devilskin .. I would love to know what you think ,I have composed a list I think would draw big crowds .As I live here a lot secluded we get left out a lot ... Robin Trowel ,Y@T ,Yesterday @ Today these guys because their great ,but also as I feel a lot would go to see them for the fear fact, they are more well know than ever ,young and old.
And maybe not so expensive I don't know ,I have direct contact With Dave Y@T also . Manny has his own mean band ,he also keeps in touch plus still plays under the great Nazz ,I also feel he deserves to get out there a bit for some recognition, No disrespect, to the other boys as I see you tour with them a lot ,And also Martian Turner Wishbone for the same thing as Manny ,plus I have been following Martian Turner he seems like a fun guy ..
So I would love to here what you think of a tour of all these bands ..I would love if we bantered on line get people talking so when this colvid thing dies down we can keep them up ..Talk bout what bands we would love to see extra ,,your idea of T shirts to help bands roadies extra love those ideas .. Let me know what you think cheers bro ...

I'm a huge Ronnie James Dio fan and I also absolutely love Heep too. I saw Heep first time at a festival here in 1990 (saw Dio on the same stage three years earlier) and spotted a baby in a stroller there. The baby was rocking in the stroller to throughout the gig so heavily that I thought the stroller will tip over! It didn't but I'm sure the baby became a life-long Heep fan right there!
For some reason, I've always found Rainbow's Temple Of The King and your Lady In Black very similar to each other. Musically they sound different, they don't have anything in common lyrics-wise, but I still find them somehow very similar to each other. Needless to say, I love both of these songs. The question is: Do you find any similarities between these two songs or is it just me?

But anyway, my question is: I know you use the ENGL amps and the Carparelli guitars, but why is that ? I know ENGL produces som fab. amps, but so does Marshall and other guys on the market. Is it becauce the last better touring or ..? And how did you end up playing the Carparelli guitars?

Here l like to ask you : the first album is for me one of the best ever, hard rock, jazzy and blues.. a very good deliver concept.. Why just after a while the sound changed in more soft or pop songs? Your Gipson SG was played amazing from you.. Which year of make was that? I hope at some stage to see you all again, maybe in Ireland on stage or for a good glass of wine - Cheers Giorgio

Hello Mick! In comparison with contemporary hard rock bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc., it seems to me that Uriah Heep gives a special attention to the arrangements, since the early works untill now. Having in mind that you are the only member to figure on all the band's albums, despite al the line-up changes, my question is: are you the man behind the arrangements? What's the approach of the band in terms of arrangement?

Hello Mick! Is there any chance that we might see more releases in the "Official Bootleg" series? And if so, would there be any live shows from past lineups, like with John Lawton or Peter Goalby?

Hello Mick. I have a question about David Byron. Did you ever try to get him back in Heep after Hensley left? Did he participate in anything else in the period leading up to his death?

Any truth in the rumor that you wanted ex-Mott The Hoople singer Ian Hunter as a Heep vocalist years ago ?, that would have been an interesting combination !!
