Bands you'd like to see get back together

donfers

just saw suede have a new double album best of....disappointed that my fave suede song "the chemistry between us" wasn't on it but still may get it

anyway rumours are that they may get back together, also another band from that era, Pulp have decided to get back together too

so what bands would you like to see get back together? I think it would be good to choose from bands with members that are still active on the scene and also maybe not a good idea to choose a band that broke up a long long time ago and getting back together may tarnish their legacy

so anyway I guess the two commonest selections would probably be the smiths and the stone roses and every time a member of either of those bands is interviewed they are asked that question, i'd love to see those 2 get back together before members get too old but I doubt it will ever happen, too much water under the bridge, never say never

It would be great to see Abba back together too but I think the blonde one has become a recluse...one can but dream

lordgoat

Pulp and i can't wait! Primavera i may be seeing you..

I probably wouldn't like to see the stone roses back together, just because I dislike Ian Brown.I'd like to see The Unicorns get back together, well maybe just to release a second album because Nick has seemed to have gone a bit mad for limelight.

James2693

The stone roses
the jam
oasis
the libertines

ahh that's all the music I listen too and they're all spilt up:(

KeanSeenan

The Libertines got back together, didn't they?

James2693

Did they?:/ when?

James2693

Did they?:/ when? They haven't released an album in ages...

KeanSeenan

Yeah they played some festivals during the summer, I dunno about recordin or anything.

They played a few gigs in the summer..

The Smiths, but just for one night only.

JerryHandbag

+1 on The Smiths.

Johnny Marr has proved with The Cribs that he's still got it. Morrissey on the other hand...

SilverScreen

I'd love to see Slowdive get back together and play a few gigs

smokedeels

I just read this....
http://exclaim.ca/News/women_implode_onstage_in_bc_allegedly_break_up

So I'll go with Women, if the rumours are true.

and Mclusky too, that would be great.

Zaph

Talking Heads. I'd die a happy man if I could get to see them live just once. Never going to happen though.

The lead singer from Cast was on soccer am at the weekend. They are getting back together for a tour before xmas (not sure on a dublin gig) and a new album after. There must be some sort of 90's bands retro revival happening.

I'd like to see New Order patch up their differences and tour again. Bernard Sumner played some JD/NO tracks with his band Bad Liuetenant @ the picnic and it was quality!!

GBV.

Libs have done the cash in on the festival reunion and that's about it. It's sad they had such a buzz and energy when they hit first. It was sadly lacking on the reunion.

Pining for the good ol days....

System of a down, they will be back, but until then I mourn there absence.

Howard the Duck

I'd like to see the moldy peaches get back together and make a new album. i can give or take the solo stuff they have released so far.

+1 on Suede. I've always regretted not seeing their last Dublin show.

pappyodaniel

Kings of Leon. They made 2 excellent albums, 1 average album and then disappeared, not to be heard of since.
What ever happened those guys?











Tbh I don't like seeing bands reforming, very rarely a band comes back together for creative reasons, it's usually just for the money made from touring and increasing record sales.

S.M.B.

I actually can't think of anybody. Odd.

Sigur Rós

I saw Whipping Boy at Oxegen 2006 when they reformed for a few gigs and they were great. I'd love to see them play again sometime.
Sigur Rós probably will get back together in the not so distant future and record a new album, fingers crossed.
As much as i love The Smiths and love to see them live i think they're one band who shouldn't reform. They left a perfect legacy behind them and i would not like to see them tarnish that in any way.

S.M.B.

Oh wait,

Godspeed you black emperor!

Bring on december.

And The Knife, after I get to see both of these my personal gigography shall be complete.

I think i remember reading a while ago they're taking a break as some of the ladies in it are pregnant! (could be a complete lie but it does sound plausible at least!)

S.M.B.

They've no more broken up. Will be recording again soon enough.

Sgt.Peppers

Oasis and the real guns n roses...also zack starr,dani harrison,julion lennon, and tom mccartney i think his name is should make beatles 2.0 hah

The Waltzing Consumer

If this was one week ago, I would have said A Perfect Circle, but they are back, playing a few gigs in America, yay!

I remember reading something about a hiatus, but then when a band member does a solo album (Jonsi) then usually its just a case of taking a break! I also remember reading something about them getting back into the studio by the end of 2010! A piece of me will die if they ever break up.

Red Hot Chili Peppers for example are on hiatus, havent released anything since 06, but defo havent broken up. Hope to hear from them soon.

Also, The Darkness! Mocked by some, but I miss them....some great tunes

McClusky and Fugazi. That's about it really. One definitely not going to happen, one might.

part time punk

Would love the Silver Jews to reform but they won't. They recorded about 5 or 6 albums but only started touring late in the day, so they didn't ever play many gigs. Although they did make it to Whelans a few years ago, which was class.

There was a thread about on here a while back about Sleater-Kinney. That would be great too.

Thats wierd, are you me? I was thinking those exact two bands.
Have you listened to Steve Masons album? Its fairly beta bandish.
I also thought Gruff Rhys on that gorillaz album sounded kind of neon neony

Xavi6

Oasis. Gutted I never got to see them

Other than that I'm not really sure as I got to see RATM. Oh actually, Bush would be magic.

From the Irish scene, I loved Turn so would be great to hear some more from Ollie and the lads.

JJ72, never got to see them live

I thankfully got to see them back in 2002. Still love listening to them.

Not the same I know but Mark Greaney just launched his new website and there's some songs from the unreleased third album there plus some new stuff.

Grandaddy is about the only band I can think of. Maybe The Pogues but I think it's a bit too late for that.

meh - they got worse the longer they went on - if they weren't able to fulfill their potential when they were around, can't see the point in them returning

Neon Neon.

it was a one-off project - Gruff Rhys has a new album out in Feb. which should be great

didn't they reform for some gigs last year? Think I heard that Cast are now reforming also (why??).

Both Tom Morello and Zack have been quoted saying they may return to the studio to record again. Here's hoping.

I'd love if the original Smashing Pumpkins started working together again. I like the "new" Smashing Pumpkins, but they'll never compare to the original line-up.

As others have said: Talking Heads, The Smiths, The Stone Roses. I'd love to see Bob Dylan & the Band play together.
