I've never really understood why the Dead haven't started playing together again.  They all play in their own bands that all cover Grateful Dead songs.

There's only four on that list that I'd pay to see. Probably none of them at the prices that would be charged!
 
 The Replacements
 Uncle Tupelo
 Talking Heads
 The Smiths

The remaining members toured a few years ago as "The Dead" but why they haven't kept that going I have no idea.

When did Echo and the Bunnymen break up again?
Title: Re: Bands that SHOULD reunite? Maybe?
Post by: distance on August 23, 2007, 01:36:00 pm
the sugarcubes just played a show together last november or something?
 
 as much as i like pink floyd, i'm not sure how interesting a reunion show (at least of the 68-81 lineup) would be, especially considering the ticket prices that would be charge.  however if they didn't play any post-81 floyd or any dave/roger solo material, that'd be at least one thing going for it.
 
 i'm not interested in an SP reunion.  after seeing shows in asheville and the show in DC, i could care less if i ever see them again and i'm certainly not going to pay for it.
 
 a soundgarden reunion would be cool, but they'd definitely have to pretend that that last album never came out... and maybe superunknown too...
 
 godspeed haven't really... 'broken up'.  they're just not doing anything right now.  i wouldn't say for sure that htey are done for good, however i do have to say that i'm glad that i caught 7 shows on that last tour.

i saw floyd in 94 @ RFK, and was kinda upset that half of their set was from 80s/90s material (division bell, momentary lapse of reason, etc.) however, that was the division bell tour. if roger and david could settle their differences, and do a tour only (NOT interested in hearing a new album from them) then it would have the potential to be amazing. you know roger would have nothing to do with the david solo stuff or post-wall floyd, which would leave us with all the classic material. if they did three sets, playing DSoTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals, in their entirety, it would be legendary. Although i'd personally replace DSoTM with Meddle. but thats just me.
 
 regarding godspeed, yeah i know they're on "hiatus" and not officially broken up, but they've been MIA for 4 years now, so I'd call them doing a new album or tour a "reunion" of sorts..

well the problem is you're going to get way more of a greatest hits shows rather than a real sampling of the material.  the songs would also be played extremely true to the album versions.... which isn't really so cool if you've heard some of dave's guitar solos on the 77 tour.  the set would be the same every night as well... so that's less appealing too.
 
 ideally if i had the opportunity to see them at any point, i would go back and see them sometime between 68 and 71.

November 17th in Reykjavik to be exact, and it was a one-off for charity and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the band.
 
 In the most technical sense they did reunite and there doesn't seem to be a rule book on how many shows or albums constitute a genuine getting back together, though the rules should probably say ALL ORIGINAL LIVING MEMBERS at the very least.

I'd really like to see Pavement play
Title: Re: Bands that SHOULD reunite? Maybe?
Post by: Mobius on August 23, 2007, 02:14:00 pm
Pavement is ripe for a reunion/tour.
 
 Guns N Roses, original line up should tour
 
 Talking Heads
 
 Pink Floyd - Gilmour and Waters are in 'fighting shape' after recent tours and should tour.
 
 Tribe Called Quest - I know they were at Love recently.  Q-Tip has stagnated alone. They should get together in earnest.
 
 R.E.M. w/ Bill Berry
 
 JAMC need to tour for real and get to DC
 
 Jonathan Richman should tour w/ original Modern Lovers.

 I don't want anyone to "get back together."  If a band breaks up, it breaks up.  Life goes on.  
 
 Would anyone REALLY want to see the Smiths get back together?  They were fresh and exciting when the were in their early twenties.  They'd be sad and pathetic now.  That can apply to ALL of those bands on the list.
 
 What is this affliction that rock fans catch?  It's like a Scavenger Hunt.  You have a mental list of "bands you missed" and now you'll pay ANYTHING ($100+) to see them again now that they've gotten back together when you KNOW the band is ONLY doing it for the money.  It's like a surgically reconstructed hymen.
 
 A band breaking up is like two people getting a divorce.  It's an end.  You can't recreate a marriage and you can't recreate the Replacements.  Move on.  Nostalgia will kill you, if you let it.

That was a full-fledged reunion tour w/ about 20-some odd dates.  Where were you at, fam???
 
 Don't hold your breath for an album, though.

It was well documented on the slow century DVD if it's the lollapalooza incident you refer to.
 That made me sad, I thought they were a brilliant band and that those people throwing mud were knuckleheads. If it happened elsewhere, then there is more Pavement hatred out there than I thought possible

it's also that their shows are really uneven. . .they'll get 3/4's through a song then it will fall apart because someone forgets how to play it or forgets the lyrics.  i saw their show at the recher before they broke up and they started asking for requests- someone said, how about a song they can finish.

No.  It was the Lollapalooza show in Virginia.  It made me sad.  I've never wanted to physically fight with people more than with the people who were throwing the mud.  Really sad.
 
 Actually, I own "Slow Century" but it's still in the wrapper.  Never watched.  I'll have to watch that some day.  I really love Pavement videos.

It's easily the best music DVD I own - it is so thorough - all the videos, two concerts, full documentary etc -  it is as comprehensive as any reasonable fan could hope for.
 
 The final three songs from the final show at Brixton, including Here, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Wow, Tribe at Ram's Head.  Sorry I missed that.
 
 Speaking of Creeper Lagoon, I saw them at Black Cat in Summer 01.  There couldn't have been more than 12 people there.  It was sad - they just put out an album produced by Jerry Harrison and Dave Fridmann and should have been poised to take off -and instead they were DOA.  Closed with 'Where is My Mind.'  Good band, and get extra respect b/c David Cross once wore a CL t-shirt on a Mr. Show episode.

I'm sure everyone here has their little piece of the 90s they can't let go.  Fever In, Fever Out was mine.  I make no apologies for it.  Furthermore . . . .
 
 You paid money to see Coldplay.

i thought the documentary was really depressing, as a pavement fan.  just to watch them sort of accept what's going on.  then i saw the luna documentary. . . . that was a huge downer.  at least for part of the pavement documentary malkmus was drunk at nastonvich's house.  luna just seemed sad.

It doesn't always turn out that way (going defunk that is), saw White Stripes at the Black Cat that same summer (I think) on a Sunday night, and counting me and the bar backs there were maybe 50 people....twas sad indeed, but a phenomenal show.

 Morrissey has revealed he has turned down a near-£40 million offer to tour again with his old band The Smiths.

Hey, I wouldn't count my chickens...  Even their drummer had a gak habit in the 90's:
 
  Blur man: I was a coke addict. (http://www.nme.com/news/30569)
 
 You underestimate Damon Albarn's ability to piss people off.  Ah, but Blur at the Black Cat in 1995?  The night they released "The Great Escape?"  When Damon said "For what it's worth, we beat Oasis?"  Words can't describe.
 
 I also saw Elastica at the OLD 9:30 club back in the day.  Got back stage too.  I even had a moment with Ms. Frischmann.  But a gentleman never kisses and tells...

 Ikara Colt was damn good. They broke up, a slight uproar resulted, they re-formed, the roar disappeared, and they broke up again.
 
 Rollins' music (-making, not broadcasting) career has sort of stalled. How about making nice with Greg Ginn, get Dukowski (or Kyra) and Bill Stevenson on board and do a Flag victory lap? I missed the WM3 show a couple years ago and am still kicking myself over it.

Cocteau Twins.
 
 It'd be nice to see Siouxsie and the Banshees again.
 
 Fugazi.
 
 Bikini Kill. (I'd love to hear what they have to say now that they're older and the whole riotgrrrl thing has kinda died out a bit.)

Olivia Tremor Control (did they technically ever break up?). Maybe three or four on that original list I'd like to see.

i wouldn't mind a Hum reunion either.
 
 to see bikini kill play again, i think, would feel completely unnatural and forced.

Well, depending on your level of  intimacy with the original incarnation of every band that??s been mentioned you could say it would be completely unnatural and forced, but this by it??s nature is a rosy scenario exercise?.?in a perfect world?.?

But Rollins was easily the worst vocalist Black Flag ever had. I'd go to see Dez or Keith but Henry just makes me laugh.  No thanks.

Jesus Lizard too. Or, make me real happy and have a Scratch Acid reunion.
 
 
You know Scratch Acid did a few one off shows last year right?
 As far as a couple of the members, David Yow is in a band called Qui (playing Iota in October) and Duane is in a band called USSA with Paul Barker.

I had missed that.  Have you heard Qui yet?  I've got their album scratched down on my little post-it note of albums to buy, but I haven't heard anything from it yet.

Off the top of my head of bands I would actually go see:
 
 Black Flag (with Keith, Dez and Rollins sharing vocals)
 Cop Shoot Cop
 Minor Threat
 Jesus Lizard - the Scratch Acid show I saw in Chicago reminded me of how great Yow is as a singer
 Rocket from the Crypt/The Sultans/Hot Snakes - basically, get Speedo/Reese on stage again
 Murder City Devils
 Traveling Willburys
 16 Horsepower
 Sugar

I read aboput the SA one-offs, but didn't have the chance to see them.
 
 Love the name of Duane's new band. I remember buying the BH's Locust Abortion Technician and SA's Just Keep Eating and Berserker at around the same time in 86 or 87, and both of those bands blew my small-town-in-Oregon mind.

Seconded.  I had tickets to their last area show at the Black Cat but wound up not being able to make it.  Wasn't a big deal at the time since I figured they'd be back  :(

I couldn't agree more with TheDirector217 regarding Lucious Jackson. Fever In, Fever Out is a big favorite of mine as well. Luscious Jackson in November 1996 was the very first show I ever saw at the 9:30 Club. Saw them a  couple times, and they always put on a good, fun show.
 
 Put me down for Elastica and first-album Veruca Salt, too.
 
 And, as long as we're getting nostalgic for '90s female-fronted bands, I'd like to nominate Belly. Star is one of my all-time favorite albums, and King wasn't bad either. Tanya Donnelly has put out a bunch of solo albums, but none of them rock like Belly.

 I had this streak of absolutely completely falling in love with a band or artist, and then they broke up or died almost immediately. See all above plus Concrete Blond, Elliott Smith etc...

When did they break up? I saw 'em at 9:30 just two or three years ago and haven't heard that since then. Likewise, I didn't think Fugazi ever "broke up." I thought they were on hiatus, like Le Tigre (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/45004-the-latest-on-le-tigre-dvd-teaching-dj-dates).
 
 Personally I'd like to see The Stone Roses and Naked City. Those reunions might actually be good.

neds atomic dustbin broke up? funny as theyre doing shows in the UK right now. you might need to sign up for their mailing list as i think youre a bit behind on ned's news.
 
 This year Neds have seen a mini-revival take them back into the limelight with a triumphant headline set on the Leftfield Stage at Glastonbury, heralded by Q Magazine's Glastonbury Daily as 'highlight of the day'. This, following Sony/BMG's decision to release a new compilation of the band's best work from the years they were distributed by the biggest label in the world, has brought a whole new generation of Neds fans along for the ride.
 
 A new documentary/live DVD called Ned's Atomic Dustbin: Don't Exist is available online now from www.twelve42.com (http://www.twelve42.com)
 
 Neds play:
 
 Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall | Friday December 21st 2007
