was there ever a band that never reunited?

[bazgnr]

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

[Chief]

Replacements

[Bridge]

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.

[Gunner80]

ABBA!

Nothing but an over rated disco/pop band.

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

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

[fuckin crazy]

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...

[GNRBABY]

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

[Fingers]

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

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

Soundgarden

Faith No More

LOL! Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?!   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.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

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??

[CheapJon]

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.
