Groups you WOULD like to see reunite

I would like to see a group of speed-metal barbarians, fronted by a leatherfaced and leather-loined psycho spewing dirges about politics and religion. There would be headless popes hosing the audience from a severed head and impaled statesmen gyrating death-throes to the pummeling beat. The a naked savage goddess would cauterize your eyes' and ears' disbelief with a 15 foot tounguue of flames. Bodies in effigy would crowd-surf, dripping blood, as the horror began to succumb to the next hit single. Oh, wait, I did see all that...it was GWAR.

Generally, when a band reunites after decades, the result is more or less horrible (for instance, Bauhaus last year).

There is a french band whose career was brutally interrupted in 2003 and for whose come-back I am strongly wishing. It is called Noir Désir and was the most famous french rock band. At the end of last year, they released two songs on the web but no more news since then.

isn't Noir Desir the band that had to stop recording because the lead singer killed his girlfriend? I think the girlfriend was a fairly well known actress.

EDIT: good old google confirms that it was the same band.

Yes. But he did not intend to kill her, the circumstances of the tragedy were very confused. I won't carry on, so much things have been said about it...

It was really an excellent band, do not hesitate to taste them, a lot of their songs are available on the net ! Bertrand Cantat was described as the french Jim Morrison, he was very charismatic on stage.

A video among others :

I would like to see Cop Shoot Cop reunite.
Highly influenced by Foetus, especially the singer, they played a crazy style of industrial noise rock with two bass players and no guitar, except for their last album "Release" in 1994. Sadly I missed to ever see them live on stage. :(
These cynics must return.Synthetic horns, percussion-like drumming, two bass guitars sounding like a chainsaw cutting through windows and the singer regurgitating pains from the bottom of his soul.
Please come back.

Much more than influenced. Thirwell often produced them and recorded with them (and vice versa). Toss Lydia and some ex-Swans into the mix and you got everything you could want. That was a tight local scene there in Brooklyn that went global and affected/afflicted by a blistering inventiveness...the whole mess of them. After hours they'd pile into the bar on occasion, Myrtle Avenue, Fort Greene...not much music talk, but lots of other ruminated vitalities (poetry too)...I would stagger home a little later those nights.
 
Original Yes, with Tony Kaye, not that pretentious Rick Wakeman, but with Steve Howe. Ok, so not original Yes.

Original King Crimson (Fripp, Lake, Giles and McDonald), and the fourth incarnation of King Crimson (Fripp, Wetton, Cross and Bruford).
 
Spandau Ballet is going to reunite.

I would very much like to see Spandau Ballet again but with some minor changes, I would like everyone in the band to be dressed as Freddie Mercury and instead of their hits I would like to see them only play songs by Black Oak Arkansas and Lynard Skynard but in their own style, of course- i.e faux Bowie vocals, synthesizer drenched arrangements. Sweet Home Alabama takes on a new life done glam style.

For a finale I would have Rush Limbaugh come out to sing the words to "True" and while singing he would be strapped face down on a hospital bed and would be in the act of being sodomized by Britney Spears in a nurse's uniform.

MJP has heard my proposal and has offered to fund this event. All parties are in agreeance and a few techinical difficulties (size of the dildo, etc.) still seem to be need to be ironed out.

I would encourage everyone to support this event and get tickets early as possible as most cities are expecting sellouts, opening band is "Flock of Lemmy's" which is a cover band that does Flock of Seagulls songs done Motorhead style.

See you there.

Appreciate your friends
Now that I looked it up, slimedog has the funniest post of the week.

You know that always played on the radio but those guys that gave us all a bad name loved this song like flies love shit.

It's funny that that song title is True and those hacks use to lie through their teeth.
