To be honest Norrin I thought they were so bad they should have been arrested by them 😉
Bands who SHOULD re-form...
- Thread starter Blue in Munich
- Start date

Genesis, the original one up with Peter Gabriel doing the vocals. And doing stuff no later than 1978

Forget "I'm not in love!" their albums were full of some of the wittiest lyrics coupled to fantastic harmonies.

It's tricky for bands to reform when 1 or more previous members have traversed either the Stairway to Heaven or the Highway to Hell.
It doesn't often work with new singers or prominent members like lead guitarists.
Most bands have had a classic lineup and, to many, nothing else works.
Some of my favourite bands, for example...
Quo, once Jonh Coglan and Alan Lancaster left
AC/DC after Bon Scott died Back in Black was superb but it all went downhill from there
Sabbath after Ozzy, although the Dio era worked a bit
Def Leopard once Steve Clark went.
Motorhead after Fast Eddie left.
It's just not the same and i, mostly, feel that once the classic like support is gone I, almost don't want them back in another guise.
Successful reincarnations, in my eyes, are rare.

This is difficult. I can't think of a band where they are all still alive!
Oh - The Glen Matlock era Sex Pistols.
Hunters and Collectors - fantastic Australian band.
The Eurythmics.

Sadly Brian I don't think that is likely to happen unfortunately.

Rick Wright died 10yrs ago
Nick Mason would go for it - but I know his sister well (a relative) and she tells me that such is the atmosphere between Waters and Gilmour it'll not happen. A little aside - she knew Syd Barrett well - he used to read or tell her bedtime stories - and not many folks can say that. She doesn't recall whether or not he made them up himself...he certainly had that imagination. She told me a few weeks ago that Gary Kemp did a great job playing the Syd Barrett guitar of the early Floyd stuff played by Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets on the recent tour.

I don't think Gilmour and Waters ever really got along...
Nick Mason was out this year touring with his Saucerfull of Secrets band playing early Floyd material

I was there when Fish was performing at "Hobble on the Cobbles" in Aylesbury Market Square. At the end of his set, he announced that some old friends were going to join him - on they walk and play MSH. Many middle aged men in tears, myself included.
Would love to see them play a full set of the older stuff - tickets would sell out very fast.

He had a very nasty fall not long after the interview. But its great to see he's still out there...phil-collins-talks-new-box-set-comeback-tour-and-the-state-of-his-health-710024
Perhaps a bit poignant but I like the sound of "Can't turn back the years."

That and "And Then There Were Three" are the two best for me.

Indeed - and his sister went to the Glasgow show. She went to see him backstage before the show with a cake she had baked (what do you buy a brother who has everything) - but security wouldn't let the cake past...

My two fav tracks are Ripples, from the Trick of the Tail album. And Supper's Ready, 1st track side 2 of Seconds Out.

My most listened are Selling England by the Pound, Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering (in that order). Ripples - YesTrick of the tail and seconds out are the 2 I listen to most
I think I must know every word of SEbtP as I have listened to it so many times and still play my original copy - bought about 1974.
Have to agree. I took my life in my hands when I saw him after his gig in Bristol last December especially as he and Steve Rothery had been over to the Hansa studio in Berlin for a documentary. He's glad they are all back on talking terms again, but he's adamant the next album and tour are his last and he feels to much time has passed and Steve Hogarth is the voice of the band. A shame but I'd say 0% chance. Have to agree though it would definitely be a fast sell out
