Worst Reunion Tours

Thin Lizzy - What a monumentally stupid thing to do. I didn't see this gig but my friend who snuck in said it was awful. Not that you really need to have seen it to know how terrible it is in concept. I'd rather see a decent cover band. Any other takers?

Alvin and the Chipmunks.

If you can't get the original group members, what's the point?

Being a bass player, the main reason I liked the WHO was John Entwhistle. I guess their umpteenth farewell tour isn't technically a "reunion" tour, but they've gotta be getting progressively w/ first Moon & now Entwhistle gone. I saw the 1st so-called reunion tour in 86 or 87, and they were great. But how long can that go on w/ half the band dead?

The New Cars - "hey, if you liked the Cars, you'll LOVE the New Cars. It's like the Cars, but without the guy who sang most of their hits. Oh, and the guy who sang the rest of their hits? He's dead.

But we did get the dude from the Nazz who wrote that 'Bang on de drum' song."

How about The Doors, with Ian Astbury from The Cult on vocals?

Has anyone seen the new Alice In Chains in concert?

I heard their replacement for Layne Stayley and he didn't sound all that great.

Didn't see them, but I heard clips of them played on O & A (Ope's a big Alice in Chains fan) & you're right; he sounds terrible when he isn't singing along to a Lane pre-recorded track. Which begs the question: is this the best you can do, guys?

That could win. Not that I like the Doors, and despite the fact that I love the Cult, he's just as wrong as wrong can be for this.

I once saw a concert in Japan with half the guys from Kansas and half the guys from the Doobie Brothers, and somebody who used to be in the Brothers Johnson. All in one band. There's a kind of purity to hearing all the wrong people sing the lyrics and the wrong guys play the leads to songs that you didn't much like in the first place.

Roth is reuniting with Van Halen. Didn't this already crash and burn?

A couple of times. We'll see if it flies this time.
I'll buy a ticket, if it really happens.

If you had stopped your post right here, it would have been much better. I like the idea of someone hanging out with a bunch of washed-up guys from 70s bands and going to concerts in foreign locales. It could be a series - yesterday, it was Japan with a bunch of guys from Kansas and the Doobie Brothers as they attend a White Stripes show, tomorrow, it'll be the Netherlands with members of Boston, Toto, and Bad Company checking out Carrie Underwood! You get the idea...

Todd Rundgren isn't just that dude. He is a LIVING LEGEND.

NO WAY!@! There's no way that dude could have written "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference."

Lynyrd Skynyrd. I say that because the 1.5 members who didn't, I don't know, die in a plane crash have actually sold enough albums to bikers and 'Bama grads to support the habit.
