Jesus And Mary Chain to reform ?
 

Why can't you delete the first post in a thread of your own making, if you decide that that thread was a mistake? I should have the authority to do so, I think.

i know a kegmama who will be very pleased.

i love this!

I'd only like it if they played material up to the quality of their first few records. I don't want some half-assed reunion album

JAMC are one of the greatest bands EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hopefully they'll tour.

They split up for good reason. They were rubbish at the end.

As I posted in another thread recently, I saw them in 1985 and they were breathtaking, and in '96 they were dull.

Good luck to them though. I'm sure they need the money.

They may have been a shadow of their former selves by the time the band split in 99, but I never got a chance to see them live, but now is mt chance, and I will take it!!! I dont care what people say about bands reuniting. If a band wants to reunite, thats their deal. I reap the benefits.

blablabla

I love their old stuff, but their last 4 or 5 albums have been boring rehash. Frankly, I hadn't even noticed they broke up.

i'm excessively playing the lottery these days..
once i hit the jackpot, it'll be "coachella, here i come..."



JAMC is one band i owe much to..
much like the pixies reunion, i hope they will hold off any new material for now.. and give the deserving fans something decent..
this is as exciting as it gets.....

i'm expectant, not excited.

I'm looking forward to it but I hope they won't be rubbish.

i have high hopes that it happens, i saw them on the munki tour in dublin and really enjoyed it

It's pointless but i suppose you have to make ends meet in some way or another.I hope they will do a John Cale when asked why they are reforming and turn to their interviewers saying:'' For the money and nothing else.''

if they come to mexico, i would go see them; i can't think of anything more idiotic than going to coachella so you like the rest of the idiots there try to get a whiff of their sound and a vague look at what their stage banner looks like, if they even have one.

reunions that could top j&mc by miles:

my bloody valentine
fushitsusha
galaxie 500
boredoms
spacemen 3
loop


that just off the top of my head.

ps: like we need yet another british band to talk about how cool they are.

Everyneurotic talks sense, AGAIN.

But I'm slowly becoming more and more anti-reformations full stop. What's the point? It's like a band being a tribute act to their former selves. That goes even for the ones that Everyneurotic listed, all of whom I either saw, or would have loved to have seen, in their prime. But if they played those shows again now they'd just be going through the motions.

They only two bands out of those that i can remotely imagine re-forming and making good and interesting music would be Loop and Galaxie 500.

It seems to appear that fushitsusha haven't really properly disbanded (judging by the Haino thread) and i never knew that boredoms split up.

They're too musically creative to just rehash their old days, they'd create new and updated music.


EDIT - Has Everyneurotic logged off again? I was hanging around to join in the celebrations of his 5,000th post.

Exactly.They were too busy making good music to really be that bothered living the whole rock n roll lifestyle.

I mean, Hampton's experiments with Main alone would be enough to make a Loop reunion an interesting one.
