Band Reunion Article
 

Here's a good article about the recent resurgence of band reunions.

http://www.furious.com/perfect/bandreunions.html

that guy is pretty miss-informed.

1) i'd like to know when did guns n' roses reunited
2) it's bad that the eagles reunited for money but it's ok for the sex pistols just because they admitted it?
3) sure, they stopped the doors (by the way, they always billed themselves as "the doors of the 21st century, that's not false advertisement, is it?) eventually, after about 3 years of world touring and millions of dollars earned.
4) black sabbath shouldn't have changed their name to heaven and hell as it is a black sabbath reunion, dio replaced ozzy in the early 80's, he was an official member of the band.
5) by most witness account, black flag's reunion was the worse "sham reunion" ever.
6) the fall never had a constant lineup and never stopped playing, how is that a reunion?
7) same with ubu.

Bass: Dale Nixon

how could you forget about guns n roses crash and burn reunion tour?

band members have reunited with guns.

but the band itself has never reunited.

which is a shame because guns n roses rule.

i thought it was a good article. it was posted on PSF which is the best music magazine on the net. so it has to be at least semi-decent...

gn'r have never, officially at least, broken up, they can't reunite.

i didn't like the smugness of the writing, it's also very easy to agree with if you're into indie rock "yeah, the eagles are old money hungry hippies, the pistols are punk heroes, they have the right to do so", "yeah, mission of burma's reunion is awesome, they sound way better than when they were together, even though i was 2 months old when they played their last show" "yeah, dinosaur are god!". it's like the writer just wanted to put down a bunch of bands by just writing that article.

buddyhead wrote something similar, way more to the point, months ago.
