Of all the defunct bands in the world, which one would you most like to re-unite?
For me, it would have to be the Smiths. Maybe Morrissey has become less obsessive in the past 20 years.

For me, it'd probably be the smashing pumpkins or The Who.

Ozma.

Oh, wait. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozma_%28band%29) Fuckin' A.

Ozma.

Oh, wait. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozma_%28band%29) Fuckin' A.

Never heard of that one before.

Genesis with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett
Pink Floyd with Roger Waters
Roxy Muxis with Brian Eno

Rage against the machine

Led Zeppelin. So there's a slight problem of one of them being dead. That wouldn't have stopped them in the '70s.

I want the old Metallica back. :(

Pink Floyd with Roger Waters

Not sure, but can't we consider them semi-reunited? Appears so acccording to recent performances and Nick Mason in his book Inside out.

Rage against the machine

i concur

The old Metallica. Or Led Zepplin... Any old rock, really. But just metal and classic rock bands.

BTW, Pink Floyd is back together again. :) One of my friends watched a recent concert, I think, one or two months ago? Somtin like that.

Led Zeppelin. So there's a slight problem of one of them being dead. That wouldn't have stopped them in the '70s.
That hasn't stopped Keith Richards from playing with the Stones.

Resurrect Jerry Garcia and get the Dead back together.

Or bring back Duane and get the Allman Brothers on stage again.

was it not only for Live Aid ?

Actually the Allman Brothers still play, except instead of Duane they have Warren Haynes (Guitar for Gov't Mule).

Boyzone
<.<
>.>

was it not only for Live Aid ?

Aye. But they are old farts, Waters turned 62 this year. They might do the odd gig, but hardly any tours. The possibility of an album is rather slim too.

Hendrix.

Not that I'd expect more than a handful of you to know who the Hell I'm talking about, but I'd pay real money to see a permanent reunion of Me, Mom and Morgentaler.

...And if any of you happen to have any M,M & M on .mp3, send me a TG ASAP, willya? It's tough having songs stuck in your head when you haven't heard them in ten years.

"Shiva Space Machine" rocks, but I can only remember the refrain... and maybe only half of that, at best.

Hendrix.

and Janis and Jim ???

Okay.
They still give concerts(which are very rare) and 3 of them still live.
But if there's one band which must come back(although not possible), has to be Queen.
To bad Freddy Mercury died of AIDS.
But god these guys where and are still so good. :(

Actually the Allman Brothers still play, except instead of Duane they have Warren Haynes (Guitar for Gov't Mule).
They don't have Dicky Betts, either. It's like going to watch the 'Original' Iron Butterfly and seeing a bunch of replacements for replacements. Seven Turns was probably the last good album that they produced. It wasn't as good as the stuff from their heyday, though.

We're a simple voodoo ritual away from the Zombie Ramones.

Oh, and bring back Social Distortion.

Ozma.

Oh, wait. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozma_%28band%29) Fuckin' A.

The Doubble Donkey Disc was their only good album, the first half of it anyway.

Bring back HUM.

and Janis and Jim ???
dunno... definatley Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding...

http://www.hotshotdigital.com/images/JimiHendrix.Images/jimi_large.png

Would bring Girls Aloud just cos they're gorgeous and would brighten the place up!

Villi Manilli.

Villi Manilli.

Hooray!!!

Queen. :D

Siouxsie and the banshees....
mMmmMMm...... Siouxsie has such a beatiful voice.

dunno... definatley Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding...

http://www.hotshotdigital.com/images/JimiHendrix.Images/jimi_large.png

or the band of gypsies ?

For me it is as follows:

Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Faith No More
Nirvana
The Beatles

Led Zepplin, oh and Social D is still together, I saw them in concert about a month ago

I'm with the guy who said rage against the machine

Husker Du.

I also second Keruvalia's "Zombie Ramones". That would rock.

hmm...

The Clash
Rage Against the Machine
The Dead Kennedys (with Jello Biafra)
To a lesser extent: The Sex Pistols (Theyve reunited on tours but Id like to see them do some new music)

Queen

oh and Social D is still together

Are they? Hrmm ... same folks? I thought they split ... maybe they got back together.

Ah well .. either way ... now I must work on the Zombie Ramones.

*nsink !!!!

wtf

Are they? Hrmm ... same folks? I thought they split ... maybe they got back together.

Ah well .. either way ... now I must work on the Zombie Ramones.


Yep, I saw them a month back, they were here in Denver. It was a great concert.

I miss Derek And The Dominos...

i concur
yep me too

Queen. :D
I agree, I just discovered Freddy Mercury and Queen about a month before he died.Can't get enough of his brand of Rock Opera. I remember a quote that was attributed to him that sums up his attitude perfectly, ''My bed sleeps six and it often does'':p

Blind Faith

I'd reunite the Barstool Prophets, bring Bill Berry back to R.E.M. and possibly put Peter Gabriel back in Genesis, though I'm more than pleased with his solo efforts.

Rage Against the Machine
The Dead Kennedys
Johnny Cash

most of all.....

At The Drive In

1. The original Guns N' Roses (Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven Adler)
2. The original Ozzy. With Randy Rhoads. Or just Randy Rhoads.

I'm for Queen!

Of all the defunct bands in the world, which one would you most like to re-unite?
For me, it would have to be the Smiths. Maybe Morrissey has become less obsessive in the past 20 years.
The Grateful Dead, without doubt. True, they're still together ... sort of. But without Jerry Garcia, it just ain't the same. :(

i wouldn't bring back any. i didn't get into the [hardcore] scene until after the greats passed on. but what happened happened, and i will admire their greatness without having the possibility i saw them lived and they sucked. because nothing kills a band like a bad live performance. (and it's happened for me)

Van Halen with Sammy Hagar.

The Doors.

GRRR. Too hard.

ALL of my favourite bands (Okay, bar two or three) are defunct.

Bay City Rollers.

Pink Floyd or The Who.

Maybe Blink 1-82............
Limp Bizkit too for sure Nizzle.

Ozma.

Oh, wait. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozma_%28band%29) Fuckin' A.

Bloody hell, I was going to post the /exact/ same thing.

Ah well .. either way ... now I must work on the Zombie Ramones.

Just dig up their corpses and bury them in a pet cemetary.

Joey would be proud.

I'll second (or what is it, fourth?) Pink Floyd, this time long enough for me to see them without a MTV VeeJay cutting in halfway through the fucking song. How 'bout remounting The Wall? Or, you know, something new. Or Wish You Where Here.

Soul Coughing would be nice.

As far as I know The Cherry Poppin' Daddies are no more, which sucks for...me, I guess. If you've only heard Zoot Suit Riot I don't want to hear it from you.

From zombie land, 'The Quintet,' Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and Max Roach.

Or, the other one-Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams. (I saw this sans Miles Davis, kickass)

Or the Kind of Blue line up with John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley.

Or the John Coltrane line ups with Eric Dolphy. Or Eric Dolphy with Charles Mingus. Or just Eric Dolphy.

The Money Jungle line up-Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Max Roach.

The Count Basie Band with Lester Young (I'm wearing a Pork Pie hat right now.)

Van Halen with Sammy Hagar

Yeah that would be very cool, my cousin and i always argue over who was better, Roth or Hagar, i vote Hagar everytime...

who else would i bring back...KYUSS for sure, DEATH ANGEL, FUNKEDELIC, PANTERA, ALICE IN CHAINS, SOUNDGARDEN and SCREAMING TREES.

:eek:

Fuckin' A, man!

Does queen count? I know at least one of them is dead... but still they're great!

The Shaggs

Nirvana
Or, for a possible band, the Smashing Pumpkins. Though if Billy actually does go through with resurrecting the band, I can't list them.
So if that happens, for a possible one, I'll have to say Babes In Toyland, Stabbing Westward, Carcass, Godflesh, or Husker Du.

DEATH ANGELDeath Angel has reunited, do you mean with the original lineup?

Nirvana
Or, for a possible band, the Smashing Pumpkins.

To be honest, i'm glad they broke up when they did, considering the musical direction they were taking at the end. They couldn't have topped Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream, anyway.

I'd bring D Boon back from the dead and resurrect the Minutemen.

Failing that McLusky.

To be honest, i'm glad they broke up when they did, considering the musical direction they were taking at the end. They couldn't have topped Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream, anyway.
Perhaps the breaking up will cause them to do stuff that's more similar to Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream instead of more similar to MACHINA?

I'd bring D Boon back from the dead and resurrect the Minutemen.

Failing that McLusky.You wouldn't bring back the Jesus Lizard? Or would that be too obvious?

Perhaps the breaking up will cause them to do stuff that's more similar to Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream instead of more similar to MACHINA?

One can only hope. I don't think MACHINA was a *terrible* album, but it really wasn't my thing. I never bothered to buy it.

Although a reunion tour following in the footsteps of the Pixies would be pretty awesome, come to think of it. :)

You wouldn't bring back the Jesus Lizard? Or would that be too obvious?

Nah. The Jesus Lizard had a good run. Plus now i get to see David Yow singing for The Melvins every now and again. The Minutemen's time was cut way too short.

All bands should finish at some point anyway.
And stay finished.
ie Pixies.
And Frank Black should die of a sudden and final heart attack.
:D

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Old Metallica
Nirvana
Rage Against the Machine
Pantera
Alice in Chains

the libertines.

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Old Metallica
Nirvana
Rage Against the Machine
Pantera
Alice in Chains

You rule too.

Death Angel has reunited, do you mean with the original lineup?

yeah, i heard that that had reformed but i have not heard the new material yet, do you know if the origianl singer is back? i know when they initially split with Mark Osegueda that the guitarist took on vocal duties (under the new group name 'The Organisation'). Recently got a cd box set of rareties which was cool, Thrash Metal RULZ!!!

Nirvana
Or, for a possible band, the Smashing Pumpkins. Though if Billy actually does go through with resurrecting the band, I can't list them.
So if that happens, for a possible one, I'll have to say Babes In Toyland, Stabbing Westward, Carcass, Godflesh, or Husker Du.

Sorry should have included this reply on my last post...got to say i would love to see Babes in Toyland come back, Carcas would be cool but i love the group that the guitarist has formed since then, Firebird, they sound nothing like Carcass however, more of a mix of Lyrnyrd Skynrd (spelling??) and Cream, i suppose even thrasher grow old and mellow with time!!

The Shaggs


RollingOnTheFloorLaughingMyA...




Laura Nyro, may she rest in peace.

And Quicksilver Messenger Service. 40 years later, that sound still stands out.

Rage against the machine
Aaaaaaiiiight

Death Angel has reunited, do you mean with the original lineup?
didn't like their new album :(

then again i'm not a huge fan anyway... they're kinda thrash-but-not-quite-thrash if you get what i mean.

The Cars
The Police
The Beatles with George Harrison resurrected and Julian Lennon taking over for John.
Pink Floyd with Roger Waters. I'd go see them, especially if I could get to Ohio and see Inkana's face seeing his heroes.
Fleetwood Mac with Christine McVie, aka the Rumours lineup.
The surviving members of Led Zeppelin AS Led Zeppelin.
The famous rendition of Heart (with Michael and Roger Fisher and Michael Omaritan joining Ann and Nancy Wilson)

didn't like their new album :(

then again i'm not a huge fan anyway... they're kinda thrash-but-not-quite-thrash if you get what i mean.

Thats a shame, there ACT III lp from the early nineties was really cool (at the time anyhow)....

Definitely The Smashing Pumpkins. The original four that is (I doubt D'arcy will be around for the reunion if it goes ahead)

Well i would have said TG, but they reformed a couple of years ago so i'll say Mr Bungle. I'm not sure if they're offcially split up but I certainly aint heard from them for a while.

Klonmelia']Definitely The Smashing Pumpkins. The original four that is (I doubt D'arcy will be around for the reunion if it goes ahead)

Yeah, I agree. Although Melissa Auf De Maur is actually a pretty decent musician. I heard some songs from her solo album and liked them.

(Though maybe it was just Josh Homme's guest guitar work on a couple of them... :p)

mm i have act III but i dunno... just don't like it *shrugs*

i suppose its just not distinctive. its good, but nothing special, or new, or different - just yet more technically proficient thrash.

Queen
GNR
Classic Metallica
Smashing Pumpkins
The Who
Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd w/ Waters


In that order, and I don't care who I have to ressurect to do it!

queen with freddy, not in their current frankenstein incarnation

mm i have act III but i dunno... just don't like it *shrugs*

i suppose its just not distinctive. its good, but nothing special, or new, or different - just yet more technically proficient thrash.

well out of that crop of thrash metal groups my particular faves were Confessor, Testament, Forbidden and Death Angel.

queen with freddy, not in their current frankenstein incarnationI actually found Paul Rogers to be pretty good when I saw them back in May. However, of course I would much rather have seen them with Freddie. John Deacon has retired from music nowadays, but it would have been cool if he could have joined them for this tour. We can't have Freddie back, sadly, so the three remaining members would have been the next best thing.

So, Queen would be the band I'd most like to see resurrected, but I'd also love to see The Who and the old Metallica back.

One can only hope. I don't think MACHINA was a *terrible* album, but it really wasn't my thing. I never bothered to buy it.

Although a reunion tour following in the footsteps of the Pixies would be pretty awesome, come to think of it. :)It's worth having to have it. There are a couple of good songs...though the two best ones also on the Rotten Apples compliation.

Nah. The Jesus Lizard had a good run. Plus now i get to see David Yow singing for The Melvins every now and again. The Minutemen's time was cut way too short. I agree that the Minutemen were cut too short.

All bands should finish at some point anyway.
And stay finished.
ie Pixies.
And Frank Black should die of a sudden and final heart attack.I don't agree with the first part. As far as the second part, I wouldn't want him to die, but I would like to see Kim Deal kick him in the gonads.

yeah, i heard that that had reformed but i have not heard the new material yet, do you know if the origianl singer is back? i know when they initially split with Mark Osegueda that the guitarist took on vocal duties (under the new group name 'The Organisation'). Recently got a cd box set of rareties which was cool, Thrash Metal RULZ!!!The lineup is the same except that Gus Pepa is no longer in the band.

Klonmelia]Definitely The Smashing Pumpkins. The original four that is (I doubt D'arcy will be around for the reunion if it goes ahead)Billy would also have to make up with James Iha to have the original lineup.

Well i would have said TG,Who?

i suppose its just not distinctive. its good, but nothing special, or new, or different - just yet more technically proficient thrash.I like it, but my thrash collection is rather limited...I don't yet own anything by Exodus or Forbidden, for instance.

Who?
Throbbing Gristle. Big Fat Man.

Throbbing Gristle. Big Fat Man.Oh cool, they're on my list of bands to check out.

The lineup is the same except that Gus Pepa is no longer in the band.

cool thanks for the info..


I like it, but my thrash collection is rather limited...I don't yet own anything by Exodus or Forbidden, for instance.
Exodus were ok but Forbidden really rocked, the debut LP was pretty good but the second album was amazing, its called 'Twisted into form' and if you can get a copy i could not recommend it highly enough;)

It's worth having to have it. There are a couple of good songs...though the two best ones also on the Rotten Apples compliation.

Yeah, I have it. Let me guess which ones you mean..."Try, Try, Try" and "Stand Inside Your Love"? :)

I'll buy it eventually. There's just other albums I want more, though.

Oh cool, they're on my list of bands to check out.
I'd recommend Kreeme Horn

Yeah, I have it. Let me guess which ones you mean..."Try, Try, Try" and "Stand Inside Your Love"?

I'll buy it eventually. There's just other albums I want more, though."Try Try Try" is on there? I guess I forgot that.
Yes, getting it, but getting it eventually seems good enough.

I'd recommend Kreeme HornOh, cool, even better. That's better than starting at the beginning, which I would ordinarily do.

The original Lynyrd Skynyrd. And I'd like to reunite Aerosmith with their balls.

not a band, but i'd bring back elliot smith. he wrote some of the most amazing songs i've ever heard. i have his s/t on vinyl, and it's really heartbreaking.
