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.

[jon boy]

i know a kegmama who will be very pleased.

[king_buzzo]

i love this!

[dazedcola]

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

[sun city girl]

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

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

Hopefully they'll tour.

[Pookie]

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.

[kingcoffee]

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.

[Toilet & Bowels]

blablabla

[Dead-Air]

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.

[candymoan]

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.....

[compulsive diarrhea, jico]

i'm expectant, not excited.

[Trasher02]

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

[sonic sphere]

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

[porkmarras]

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.''

[Everyneurotic]

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.

[porkmarras]

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.
