Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - bands you missed/ reunions you'd like to see

For the reunions let's try to keep it to bands whose members are still alive, even if they'd kill each other if they were in the same room again :D

Talking Heads - Wow. What an amazing band. They broke up before I was old enough to see them.
The Smiths - Will probably never happen. Too much bad blood.
The Stone Roses (original lineup)- I saw them after Reni quit. Close but no cigar.

Shows I missed that I will always regret not going to:

My Bloody Valentine/ Dinosaur Jr.
The Sundays

Bad Brains w\H.R.
MomeansNo w\Andy Kerr.
Disposable heroes of hiphoprisy\ Michael Franti and Rono Tse.

When I was in highschool (late 80's - early 90's), my favorite bands were Bad Brains, Dinosaur Jr. and Dead Kennedys.

I think it was 2002 when the Bad Brains (with HR) came to town. I knew a local DJ, and got some free tickets to the show. Last year, Lou Barlow and J Mascis started jamming again, and I saw the reunited Dinosaur Jr. at the same place (Cat's Cradle, Carrboro NC). These shows are still in the top 5 of the "best live shows" I've ever seen.

Now, I'm waiting for Jello Biafra to get together with his old band and have a similar 'reunion' tour... but I'm not holding my breath.

- I would also love to see King Crimson with Greg Lake, Genesis with Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, a Fairport Convention reunion, Robert Pollard playing with the 1994 Guided by Voices lineup; and some old local bands: Polvo, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Whiskeytown (Ryan Adams).

I would've payed a lot of money to see any of the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds concerts.
I think the Nirvana Unplugged in New York wouldve been excellent too.
Pink Floyd (i was in ireland during Live 8, my friend was thinking of going to london for the day, i told him he was nuts to try it)

For the reunions let's try to keep it to bands whose members are still alive...

Damn! I missed out on SRV & Double Trouble


I think these guys are still around -

Soundgarden

Tool (im sure they're just on an extend haitus)

Pink Floyd (again)

Allman Bros (again but with Dickey Betts back in the band)

Stone Temple Pilots (they're better than Velvet Revolver)

ALLMAN BROTHERS.

I was sad when I found out I could'nt go. :(

I had a free ticket to see REO Speedwagon in 1987 (they were huge then, remember?), all I had to do was give my friend a ride to the show. So, of course, I wrecked my truck, and couldn't go...

Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East, 1971.
The Clash in El Paso, circa 1981.

Cracker, Midnight Oil.

Arc Angels - Still have the ticket to their "last concert" in the 90's. Now that they are reunited, still have yet to make it to a concert.

I had a tickets to other bands that had their last concert in Houston. Sublime, wound up getting work out of town. But the really LAST concert in Houston was Blind Melon. Got sick and couldn't go.

Okay 1 of each...

Missed show;Nirvana at the Westward hotel in Calgary, I can't remember exactly which year but instead of going to the gig my buddies and I decided to go and see some long forgotten band at a long forgotten venue. :o Who Knew!

Reunion; easy, Personality Crisis. Who you say, Only the best damn rock and roll band I have ever seen thats who.
western canadian punk legends. all around good guys. With out a doubt 10 years ahead of their time.
Shouda, Coulda... They all live.. come on boys get together and do a damn gig already!!

'Rasher

Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses, Spinal Tap and Creed.

Okay, not Creed.

Yes, Creed! And Chicago.....

And the original Earth Wind and Fire!!

Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses, and Judas Priest.

That'll happen on the 12th of Never, You should check out his collaboration with The Melvins, though, "Never Breathe What You Can't See".

Pink Floyd.

You could get them.

Charlie Sexton, not Joe Sextant. :lol:

Thanks for the correction! I was working from a faulty memory. D'oh!

How many of The Commodores are still kickin'? I think old school Guns N' Roses would be kinda cool. STP, too. Either one would be better than Velvet Revolver. Kilgore would be sweet, too. Sepultura with Max. Hmm, that's all I can think of, at the moment.

I still kick myself for not going to see Concrete Blonde when they were in town a few years ago. It was free or ridiculously cheap, too! I wish I could've gone to Ozzfest, Tom Petty and John Fogerty/Mellencamp last year, too.:(

I would like to see Ministry again , although i have seen them 5 times I would like to see them again. They put on a spectacular show.

Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses, Spinal Tap and Creed.

Okay, not Creed.

Ahhhhhh, Spinal tap...........amps that go to 11,Big Bottoms. God bless Jonny Appleseed!

I saw it on ABC, and again on the web. I don't know about you, but I don't think 4 songs in 25 years is a very good reunion.

Furthermore, I once started a thread on this topic: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=130635

Guns & Roses, and The Bangles

missed: Woodstock got to my friends house upstate and he left already, stupidly I got on a bus
and headed back to Jersey.
SRV in Dallas, once again left the city to go back home, should have stayed.

Marty

Ahhhhhh, Spinal tap...........amps that go to 11,Big Bottoms.

I actually saw Spinal Tap when they toured back in 1992. They opened up for Queen's "We Will Rock You" film at a local shed/amphitheater. Tap totally kicked @ss!!!


BTW, I'd like to see Husker Du get back together and blow the roof off of some 200 capacity place.

spinal tap. such a good movie. i love the part when he is in the airport with the cucumber is his pants :)

my all time favorite band Blink-182. i never had a chance to see them and if they ever play togather i will be one of the first to get tickets. one of the best current bands a great mix of lyrics and instrumentals.

look for angels and airwaves, tom delonge's new band. they should be a biig hit.

Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses, and Judas Priest.

Amen brother!!!!

There was this band out of Cheyenne, Wy called "Sidhe". They broke up, but I'd like for them to get back together and tour the world. The guitarist "Daz" was phenomenal.
