Reuniting bands

Post by Bjam »

You know how some bands should just not reunite?

Take That is one of them. I distinctly remember sitting in the kitchen in Wolverhampton listening to Five Live with all these screaming girls crying and wailing on the radio.

(You know you're getting older when bands that split up when you were younger are already reuniting :P)

Any other bands that shouldn't/should reunite?

I saw Gang of Four live recently and they were pretty fuckin' fun, I'll just throw that out there. The Pixies too, I'm glad to see them reunited and they're incredible live. In fact, there are plenty of bands that should reunite. Paaaavement? Terror Twilight was an amazing album, and then Stephen had to go and make all his almost great albums that were so frustratingly not quite great (although "Loud Cloud Crowd" is a beautiful song).

In January 1997, my first band, "The Mess" is reforming for one night only....for 2 of its members 40th birthdays.

We made the arrangements last week - God I feel old...

caravan ray is in some weird time warp... you should feel less old if it's 1997.

:D :oops: oh yeah - that would be 2007 in your Earth years.


I am getting old - I'm doing that a lot nowdays - for some reason I have trouble remembering that the last 10 years actually happened.

BTW - has anyone heard that new band out of Seattle called 'Nirvana'? - they're really great...

I was going to make a snide suggestion that Nirvana should get together again, but thought better of it.

Oh wait, I just did it.

Actually, I don't mean that at all. I like Dave Grohl a lot. That bass player I don't know much about though.

i actually thought about nirvana too, but then that opens the dead band member can of worms. :)

plus, as much as i'd love to hear him play drums (and i'd argue that when he was playing he was THE BEST), it's pretty unlikely that dave grohl would ever take a back seat to anyone ever again at this point.

Dead band members should certainly reunite. Many are so much better now.

Ewww...the other night Glenn Case was playing next door to a Dead tribute show. Stinky ass hippies. I know you were talking about death/dead, but I do think it's good for the Dead various incarnation to exist for stinky ass hippies to have a show to go to. Keeps them away from us.

There is still a way for Nirvana to reunite, is what I was suggesting. But not really.

haha...yeah, i forgot about that, but that was really a part time/limited time gig, with no intention of anything more.

and honestly, i'd bet alot of people went to see those QOTSA shows just to see grohl playing drums.

it's obvious grohl LOVES playing the front man. the demise of nirvana set him free in so many ways.

BY FAR my favorite song on the new Foo Fighters double disc is a song where Dave is drumming and Taylor is singing instead. It is called "Cold day in the sun".

I believe that Dave is also drumming for the upcoming Tenacious D album/movie. as Liam Lynch put it:

"We've got Dr.G (dave grohl) back again to drum on the new stuff just like the D's first
album. Of course... to say the least... he's a good drummer. (My eyeballs nearly fell out of my head... he's my friend and then he sits behind the drums and I remember, "oh yeah... he's the most awesome drummer in the world"... you forget that when you're just playing ping pong and eating BBQ ribs most of the time). He was AWESOME. You guys are going to freak. So we were in the studio cutting drums... next week we'll cut some additional guitar stuff... also recording ADR... or "looping" as it's known... basically re-recording bits of dialogue where the audio recording wasn't that great or you want to change the way the audio works."

ROCK!
