Years come from public music databases. Where none says a member left, the end is shown as unknown; it does not mean they are still in the band.

This is a partial record of publicly documented activity. Missing shows, releases or members do not mean there are none. It does not confirm availability for booking.

These facts are from the English Wikipedia article U.D.O.. They are shown on their own and are not merged into the record above.
