50 80's Band Reunions

the police

I saw them last summer at the CA State Fair!!!

:thumbsup

the talking heads

shit

I wouldn't mind seeing a Def Leppard concert as well.

Megadeth KICKS ASS. It would be an honor to party with any member of Megadeth.

Right on Fletch... gotta get Brian to quit moonlighting with Bad Religion first though... :thumbsup

Side note: can't WAIT for the new Bad Religion album -- due in June!!

<br>

he said autobots

I don't know much about 80's bands. I was just a kid in that decade...

Cinderella,Wasp,Poison

W.A.S.P came to mind but didn't know if they were playing or not

Genisis:thumbsup

would be interesting to see if you could get all the members back together including Peter Gabriel..

Culture Club of course!

Seriously - VanHalen. All the way.

still playing, but Blackie's the only original member left

I'd love to see an original lineup with Randy Piper back on guitar, Blackie going back to bass and the fucking madman Chris Holmes on lead guitar...

any of those three would do fine...

Suicidal Tendencies and Dokken would be cool aswell

I would have to say...Information Society, or was that early 90's?

Cool

I saw W.A.S.P. twice with that line up
Once they were opening for Black Sabbath and I was about 15 rows back and once was in a club

I think it was like 89 just about to turn over into 90'...damn don't remember now.

With Sammy?

or Dave?

I have seen every 80's band live that I care to see. But if I could see one of them again I would have to say GnR... they have put on one of the best shows that I have ever seen and also one of the worst shows that I have ever seen

minor threat :thumbsup

:thumbsup

oh man, I fought joining this thread. Really, I did because it is too much of a 'me' thread. Then, i click and there are good bands straight off the bat.

alright..first one: Morrisey is working on an album at the moment. Has been muttered about a lot on the UK music scene over the past couple months.

PF's are great but Love Spit Love were good too!

Hüsker Dü

and doing shows in the States with The Cure! Please tell me whose bollocks I have to shine with my tongue to be at that gig?

FYC are back together and I am seeing them in July in London.

Simple minds - back together for a couple show - was on London news a couple weeks ago when they did a show. I don't know if they are doing any albums though.

Housemartins will never get back together. Not with Beautiful South still turning over money and Norman Cook (aka Fat Boy Slim) being a gazllionaire.

Maddness are still together but take breaks between albums.

Ratt - I was just playing Round Round when I opened the thread ;)

UNCLE SLAM-

Twisted Sister
Sigue Sigue Sputnik

Guns and Roses

Tears for Fears just recently announced they are reforming. It is on the back of a couver of one of their songs - Gary Jule's version of Mad World from the Donnie Darko soundtrack - recently being a huge hit in the UK over christmas.

Frankie - Holly Johnson has HIV, he does lots of tv but not sure about if he is singing.

recently did a gig in London .

Guns and Roses.

wasnt frankie just on vh1 bands reunited?

Morrissey makes me want to blow my brains out, way too depressing for me, Psychedelic furs was decent but also leans on the depressing side of street.

I would die to see some early Pink Floyd even as far back as Syd Barret, or see early U2 from the 80's although I like all U2 really but early songs in particular. 80s was kinda cheese though, now that I think about it..

Did anyone like Dexy's Midnight Runners? They sang 'Common Eileen'

That'd be "Come on Eileen" :winkwink:

I remember those fuckers in the overalls.

Fuck Morrisey, The Smiths and The Cure!

They all suck.

dunno, they haven't (to my knowledge) shown it in the UK yet. He does all the TV he can lately - all those remember when shows. Hasn't been looking too great so hope so!

That was one of the first albums I bought, I like all the songs.

How about Alphaville 'Forever Young', I actually do also like Duran Duran, yes the hair sucked but music was very good, still is, my 12 year old daughter even likes it.

How about something different, anyone got into industrial bands like Test Department, Helios Creed or Cabaret Voltaire?

New Edition

take that back now.

Slayer, MOD, SOD, Agnostic front :thumbsup

yeah lol pixies and the cure.. fucking hell.. just like heaven.

ROCK 'N ROLL!

Bwahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha!!

The first time we partied real heavy in High School, we were listening to Slayer, what a way to start..

I would go see Ministry also with Al Jorgensen

Um, the lead singer, Kevin Rowland, had an album out a couple years ago. He isn't wearing overalls anymore.
