Here Today... Gone To Hell!

anyone remembers a band that broke up that never made back together? or at least until now....

frankie goes to hollywood?

The Beatles!  There were talks to reform in 1978 when Lennon and McCartney patched things up, but it never came to pass.

Stone Temple Pilots haven't gotten back together yet, with the Army of Anyone project pretty much over, all they need is Scott.

Skid Row and Bach, then again, Bach doesnt really need them.

The dire straits havent reunited ever since mark knopfler disbanded them in the mid nineties.

ABBA!

faith no more

some other bands would be the darkness, blink 182, Audioslave, Soundgarden, the distillers, ugly kid joe I guess


dunno if audioslave should count since they only kinda just broke up and they kinda was RATM but with a lame singer (yes cornell suck IMO)

ABBA would be a fairly large one I think

already taken  ;)

ABBA and beatles are the 2 biggest bands ever and neither reunited

Fairly? :P

It would be the biggest reunion in the history of the world.

yeah it would probably pretty much be the VH/DLR reunion only 10 times bigger

Extreme.  And in spite of VH1's best efforts...damn you, Nuno!      :hihi:

Misfits!!!!! Jerry and Glen will never patch things up. I would fuckin' love to see them together tho.

Guns N' Roses.



The original lineup anyway. :)

i don't think those 2 counts since there are bands existing with the names..

They were (reputedly) offered a billion dollars for a reunion tour.

Nothing but an over rated disco/pop band.

Yeah, we know that you dislike pretty much everything... :hihi:

Seriously, though - they might've been overrated to some, but they're still the biggest band ever, and they haven't reunited. (Which is what the topic is about)

overrated or not, they're as beef jerky said, still the biggest band ever with all members in life and have not reunited..

don't you like disco pop? your title says that you "dance alone" but maybe that's because don't like anything but yourself :-\

The Libertines, Tin Machine, At The Drive In (?), The Revolution (of Prince & The..), The Smiths, uhm..

The Afghan Whigs.  And no, I'm not counting the two new tracks they recorded for their retrospective as a reunion...

Replacements

A few that haven't been mentioned...

1. The Runaways
2. The original Fleetwood Mac (the pre Stevie Nicks) lineup.
3. The full, original lineup of Great White never reunited.? 4 of the 5 originals are back together, but original bassist Lorne Black never returned to the fold.

Also, I may be wrong, but I don't believe the original five members of the original Alice Cooper group ever reunited.? And they won't, since one died in 1997.

It's to late anyway, they're as old or older than the Rolling Stones! Those two woman are old and ugly now.

As a fan of the "Golden Girls", I would have a lot of fun with that.

Older than the Rolling Stones? Ha!

Yeah, what logic... :hihi:

THE TALKING HEADS. I wish they would do it...

I believe they have played occasional shows-they havent gone on a full tour or anything.

The Beatles are obviously the biggest that I can think of, I'm surprised Soundgarden haven't even played at least one show-the original GNR would probably top what Springsteen and Van halen are doing right now, as far as sellouts

The Clash?

Van Halen (one guy is missing)

Screaming Trees

Soundgarden

Faith No More

Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch




/jarmo

Queen.. (and i mean in the original line up..)
Hollywood Rose

i guess joe id dead so its not possible for the clash....

id love to see faith no more reform with patton, and jim.

Sepultura

Yeah, but obviously I meant before that.

They never did what the Sex Pistols did.




/jarmo

LOL! Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?! :hihi:  Good one!  Oh yes, how can I forget two of my favorite bands; Soundgarden and Faith No More....I think it's possible that both of these bands return for at least some concerts one day.

The original five GN'R members have never played together since 1990, big one there.

Didn't a member of Great White die in the tragic Rhode Island night club fire years ago?  Was he not an original member?

That was guitarist Ty Longley, who was not an original member.

Great White original members are as follows....

Jack Russell: vocals
Mark Kendall: lead guitar
Audie Desbrow: drums
Lorne Black: bass
Michael Lardie: keyboards, rhythm guitar

All five of those guys are still alive, and only Lorne Black is missing from their current lineup; he left the band after their second album in 1986 and never returned.

I just saw Great White over the summer, and it was a great show and thought it was great to see a band from that long ago that still has almost all the original members.

Not that i'm a fan, so i could be way off.. But how about the orginal members of KISS??

i think they reunited in like 1996 then released psycho circus in 98? then split up again

Correct.  The four original members of Kiss reunited in late 1995 and released a reunion album in 1998, Psycho Circus.  They continued to tour with the four originals until their final show on October 7, 2000 in South Carolina.  Peter Criss left the group at that point, while the other three originals continued until 2001.  Peter rejoined the band for their 2003 tour, but Ace Frehley was gone by that point.  Now it's down to just Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons again, with two replacements.

Humph ...

Ok i'll shut the hell up then  :hihi:

Guns N' Roses perhaps?  :P

they split up? :o

I stand corrected....the reunion is here!       :rofl:

I wasn't aware that people (any people...anywhere) liked ABBA. 

Then I looked on Wikipedia, and it said they've sold like 370 million records.   :o

Man.  When the people who bought those albums die, and their kids inherit them, imagine the size of the pile of garbage that could be created solely of thrown out ABBA albums. 

So there you have it.  ABBA is the primary cause of landfill being used up too fast.  New Jersey should sue ABBA.

Ronnie Montrose and Sammy Hagar

Pantera(probably never will happen unfortunately :'()
Soundgarden
nirvana(never gonna happen)
black flag

I always thought that Foo fighters was pretty much the remaining "nirvana" band...

they could always put courtney love in place of the lead singer... ahh.. jkjk...

hoc can anyone say that? :nervous:

CCR?

good one : ok: they are among my fathers favourite bands and never reunited, no

up until monday, zeppelin, but that could only be a 1 off

Jellyfish.

NWA

they are together now.    pretty stupid thing to say on your part.

I think you know what he means.  Why are you so sensitive about this?  Is it really that offensive to think that some people might enjoy the Appetite or UYI era lineups?

I don't think it's offensive at all, nor do I think the vast majority of those who post here would ever disrespect anything the Appetite / UYI lineup accomplished, or the tremendous musical legacy they left in their wake. 

That said, HTGTH gives the majority of us a place to focus on the active GnR of here and now.   I'd say the majority around here who are thrilled with the modern-era Guns, and occasionally, it gets insanely frustrating wading through references to reunions, the old lineup, etc..    I'm not sure "stupid" is the word I'd use, but I know that there's enough to be happy about with the touring GnR of the past two years that I'm more than happy to leave the old lineup in the past, where they belong.   Here's to CD, whenever that glorious day arrives...   :peace:

couldn't have said it better myself baz.   : ok:    what else do ya expect when you come to a guns n roses fan board and talk like they aren't an existing band.

haha, yeah I know dude, that one's just fucking hilarious ;D

about NWA, I dunno what to hope on that one. on one side it would be far from the same without Eazy, but on the other hand it would be nice to have the others honor him.
btw, didn't they already do some kinda reunion thing with Dre, Cube and Ren? (Hello).

anyway, fuck Dre, Cube is the best thing to come outta NWA.

As memtioned, The Replacements would be huge. Uncle Tupelo would be nice as would Buffalo Springfield. . . . .  . . . . I am still hoping the Scrantonicity split is just temporary.

Please don't take me for someone who's opposed to the current lineup, because I'm not.  I've gone to see them live, I listen to the songs, and I can't wait for CD.

I agree that the constant talk about the old lineup in threads having nothing to do with them can get tedious at times.   But to talk about a reunion in a thread about band reunions seems reasonable.  The quote didn't imply a preference for the old lineup(s) over the new, but simply stated a fact: the original (Appetite) lineup of Guns N' Roses has not reunited, and the same is true of the UYI era lineup.  You don't find this idea offensive, and neither do I, but anyone coaxed to insulting other users (as you said, is it really necessary to call him/her "stupid"?) seems to find it thus.  And, considering that the quote is nearly a month old, and isn't even a part of the ongoing discussion, it seems that it was sought out for the purpose of making a point.

Anyway, I don't usually comment on these spats, but when the same users, again and again, insult others because they happen to disagree with something they say then it gets just as obnoxious as those who inject the "old band v. new band" junk into every thread in the first place.

   

CCR was a great one I never thought about....NWA couldnt because Eazy E is dead

aw, c'mon now.. I didn't call him/her stupid, I said they said something that was stupid.  huge difference.  And he/she said "Guns N' Roses perhaps?"   when in reality this board is here to support the band that is Guns N' Roses right now.    that is all.

Hey, that's not stopping Alice in Chains, is it?

I bet Grahm Nash doesn't share your sentiment. ;D

Thanks for the well-written and reasonable response...kind of refreshing around here from time to time! ? :hihi: ?I agree with all that you said, and - like yourself, I try to avoid participating in any of these non-stop spats that pop up over the same old things. ?But, playing Devil's advocate, the original post only said "Guns n Roses," and it's not unreasonable for that to be interpreted as yet another poster pretending the current band doesn't exist, and worse yet, trying to take a shot at all the current band has accomplished. ?Had the original poster said it as clearly as you did - that the original (Appetite) lineup has not reunited - I imagine it would have been far less likely to have come off as abrasive to anyone. ?

So, back to reunions, then... ?

Fair enough. 

Of course, we've gotten to the point that ALL GNR fans reach.  We're nitpicking over the exact wording of a statement, looking for clues about the author's intent, mindset at the time, and, if possible, what he/she had for lunch the day it was written.  :rofl:

No but I think were talking about a true reunion of original members...or at least the core...
