They did and it was a big mistake. A couple of dates into the tour egos started clashing and the whole thing was a mess.

The Pumpkins are the only band I can realistically see reforming and not be a sham

Definitley The Libertines and the stone roses. Would love a new album from either of those two.
Wouldn't mind G 'n' R coming back if they have material worthy of it.

The Libertines were great though, they really threw it away

Soundgarden maybe but i'd be scared to see what they'd do.
Rage Against The |Machine yes, just cauce i'd love to see Audioslave go. They suck.
Definatly Smashng Pumpkins!!!

Hey Zane (if that is u,.... which it isnt) The Verve have some court order that if they write music ever again, the money wont go to them as they stole that riff from Sweet Symphoney or what ever its called. So, unless they're stupid, i cant see that happening.

They got dropped from their record label, MCA after poor sales of 'All About Chemistry'

Dan Wilson's tackling solo projects (www.danwilsonmusic.com), Jake Slichter has become a pretty accomplished writer (http://www.metacritic.com/books/authors/slichterjacob/soyouwannabearockandrollstar) and John Munson... not too sure what has happened him!

They reformed for a couple of small gigs late last year in Minneapolis.

They're persistant in saying that another album may happen sometime down the road if they get re-signed but i'm not holding my breath.

Shame!... one of my favourite bands and very under-rated!

No, I was only about ten at the time but there's a live album from the tour and it's ****. There's a book called "Uptight" about them that the last chapter talks about the reformation. It's a shame because I've got a great bootleg of the show where they actually got back together. John Cale and Lou Reed were playing a tribute show to Andy Warhol in France. Moe Tucker and Sterling Morrison were in the audience. They got up on stage and did an amazing version of Heroin. Truly exceptional considering they hadn't played together for over 20 years. Sterling died ten years ago so the chances of a reunion are slim to none. Much like Led Zeppelin, a reunion involving a replacement member would be a crime.

Note: How cool are your parents bringing you to VU as a kid, I got to go see Rolf Harris!

Smashing Pumpkins, all the way. Partly because they were amazing, and partly cos I just saw Billy Corgan and it was all rather disappointing.

well some peoples dreams have come true, pink floyd have reformed, at least for the live8 gig in london, thats the classic dark side of the moon pink floyd line up, fingers crossed they will get on swimmingly on the day in question and will put behind their squabbles for a money spinning reunion tour, i would gladly give my right arm and 200 euro in the hand to see them at live8 in london(alas i shall be where the business is at in edinburgh at the time in question) or on tour.

yup it was ugly. a real mess. the pixies latest tour was actually much better than i expected, so kudos there where it is due.

cant wait to see what the floyd will be like - apperantly they will reform to play at live 8 gig. ( probably mentioned in thread, but im too lazy to read all of it!)

my blood valentine would be awesome, but i dont think shields would be interested. he gave pretty much all he had into loveless, dont know if theres anything left in the tank....
