marvin Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 So over the last little while there's been Raspberries, Cream, Starz, now Artful Dodger, and "new" Cars and Queen, and I read where Phil Collins mentioned he'd be open to a Genesis reunion with Banks, Rutherford, and Gabriel. In the words of that famous album "Who's next?"Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Marvin, yes,I like all of these reunions, because we are starting to see these people wanting to enjoy playing again, as they did in the past. They can see what's going on in music, and might be saying,'We have something to share, too'. From seeing and hearing some of the current acts, I hope someone will step up. It looks like next year will be a good year to see concerts. Some of the styles of the past, might just be the "new" music to be heard soon, again. Alright, on with the shows!

JohnO Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'm glad to see that someone mentioned the NY Dolls and dBs, but nobody's brought up the original Stooges (minus Dave Alexander, plus Mike Watt on bass) yet.....who, aside from maybe the Raspberries, have probably been doing the most incendiary live shows of all of the reunited bands.Also - The Plimsouls, Zombies, Arthur Lee & Love (with only Arthur as an original, although they added original guitarist Johnny Echol for part of their last tour).(At least no one had the bad taste to bring up a Ramones reunion....with Tommy and 3 ringers needed....)

hbecstacy Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 There's also word that The Buggles ("Video Killed the Radio Star") are planning to reunite to coincide with MTV's anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh God, I forgot the MC3...er, MC5/DTK completely, who I've seen 3 times....most recently with Handsome Dick Manitoba and Lisa K. (BellRays) as guest vocalists - perhaps the best version yet of the reconstituted MC5. No Evan Dando, thank God! (Although, surprisingly, Marshall Crenshaw did a pretty good job in the Sonic Smith 2nd guitar chair....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
