Bands you would like to see get back together

[Boingonut]

I try not to think of bands that can't get back together because of a death, Queen comes to mind as well as Joy Division. Although in Joy Division's case New Order is still going at it, although they really sound nothing like JD exept for Peter Hook's bass. I would never except Queen with a new lead singer though.

I have always thought that I was born 10 or 15 years to late, I really don't like any new bands, and the bands that I am really into are long dead like Oingo Boingo. I guess if there is any new band out there that I like (on a major lable that is) it would be the Killers. But they really don't even come close to the bands of the late 70's and 80's. It kind of sucks because I would love to get out to more shows and be a fan of newer bands but my heart just is not in it. I could never see myself at a Killers show you know?

Also like NA said, bands that are still together but have lost there way like the Cure which as not put out a really good album since Disintegration, there have been a few good songs here and there and I like the fact that Robert will not give up his look, but I can't just put in a newer Cure album and just sit back, I always have to skip around. And maybe that is what Danny Elfman was afriad would happen to Boingo. They went out on top and that is great, but Boingo was known to put on the best Halloween shows and it would be really cool to see them at least once a year dust of the guitars and put on anouther Dead Mans Party!

I don't know, you might be entering a new era for music. My experience is annectdotal of course, but I've been seeing more bands - and running into old time friends at their concerts. Take note of the small clubs (not the House of Blues) and maybe take a chance or two on a $12 show, you might find some pretty cool music. Or, if you can swing it, give Coachella a go - I've seena lot of great stuff there the past 2 years.

Its not like I have given up on new music compleatly, just most popular music. Last year I really got into Noise music and have been going down to the Smell downtown at least a half dozen times. But these are really really really small shows, 100 people would be a really good turn out and you are right there on the same level as the band, somtimes standing right next to them. I think that might be kind of what Punk was like in the early years so I like the scene. There is nothing like a show that a bigger band can put on though, lights media and really good sound (somtimes depending on the band). But I think you might be right Meinke, I think getting out to a $12 show would be a good thing for me, find the midrange music. I agree that music does seem to be getting better, I just hope it lasts and the record lables don't mess it up and over play everything.

Okay I'm off to Disneyland now!
