How creative was the stuff that "the other guys from Loop" did as Hair and Skin Trading Company? Would they be able to keep up with Robert Hampson's ideas if they were to work with him again?

Hair and Skin Trading Company have always been good in my book but not as good or stimulating as Main's stuff .One of them now works with Pinkie McLure and i have faith that they are musicians of such impeccable taste and integrity,we wouldn't have to worry about them making a spectable of themselves.They wouldn't have to do that either because i doubt they'd make that much dough anyway.

some of that barbed wire kiss action.

I was very excited at the thought of seeing the reformed Scientists last year, but I missed the show because of a migraine. Now that I think about it, I think I prefer just remembering how good they were when I saw them the first time round.

If I'm going to relive my youth I'd rather do it by going back in a time machine and shagging some of my teenage girlfriends.

Wow...I'm surprised so many people are foaming at the mouth about this.

1) Most reunions are shit
2) Jesus and Mary Chain are "quite good"

Therefore a reunion (reunions are shit remember) of a "quite good" band = very shit.

Many people said JAMC reunion in the 90's was bullshit. How could it be better in 2007 ?

[Sonic Youth 37]

YAY!! I need to get tickets to Coachella. Any word on if Bobby will be with them? Or is this the most recent line-up?

[GeneticKiss]

Actually, I really liked some of the stuff from Munky..."I Hate Rock 'n' Roll" is one of my favorite songs.

Kegmama: the absolute LAST thing I'd want a reunited Mary Chain to do would be to make another Psychocandy...the whole 60s-pop-drenched-in-noise-and-feedback thing might have been revolutionary in 1986, but now, it's kinda old hat.

Half you nitwits don't know jack about the J&MC

I think the saddest thing about JAMC in the 90's was how DULL they were. I hope for the sake of the people seeing them this time around, that the break has reignited some enthusiasm in them for their music. And given them a chance to resolve their differences.

JAMC was always essentially just the Reid brothers.

[habibtheantiamericanbitch]

Jamc....one of my all time favorites.....at least the first few records. They must be broke to be doing this because they lost the love for the music, the fans and each other at least 10 years ago. They will embarrassingly fumble thru 45 minutes of classics and Munki shit while trying not to Scottishly disassemble each other or whatever fan/roadie gives them the eye. Still, like that train wreck you can't turn away from, i'm still interested in hearing what they turn out. I wouldn't expect a tour or even much of anything off of Psychocandy, unfortunately. but who knows. i truly hope they make my entire post bullshit!!!

[PAULYBEE2656]

jamc were great and i am a loverof their work but i cant get excited about this reunion at all. i mean i just cant and im sorry....

fuck that, i want them to make that music again, not the melodic twee indie hit appear on top of the pops drivel that they were bringing out in their dying years. jamc to m is about the 60s skronk noise with walls of fuzz, not melodic beautiful love songs........

psychocandy vs stoned and dethroned... i know which one goes on my turntable.................

I know that, but I was wondering if he would return. Seeing as he's the original drummer and his unique style (or lack thereof) complimented their music so well.

[PAULYBEE2656]

get bobby gillespe back in there and i will get slightly excited about it.....

[Glice]

Why this thread? Why can't someone start a Les Rallizes Denude re-forming thread? Surely that's what everyone wants?

[Savage Clone]

I was told by a big Rallizes fan that Mizutani "looks like walking zombie" these days. He's in pretty rough shape from what I can gather.

[Toilet & Bowels]

indeed i'm surprised that anyone cares a hoot about the J&MC in this day and age

[Toilet & Bowels]

yeah well i don't like grandeur very much though

I didn't even realise they'd split up. I'd always assumed they were a bit like the Fall, splitting up all the time. Sorry Mr Priest, just being bitchy for no decent reason. It's a Saturday thing.
