Ady Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Unless Sid Vicious is suddenly resurrected, how can the Sex Pistols actually re-form? Even if he did suddenly resurrect, I am sure he would stick another needle filled with Heroin in his arm and then die again. From what I know and have read, Sid Vicious was more famous for shooting Smack then he was for playing the bass guitar. Edited to add: If a Major figure (like John Bonham) has passed away, then there can be no real Reformation or Reunion (regardless of it being the MIghty Led Zeppelin). I think that is just common sense. As for the others you mention, and this is just my opinion, I could not even care if Wham or Sham 69 or the Boomtown Rats ever reformed because I do not even know or care about any of the music they ever made or played. Do you really care if Hootie and the Blowfish reform? Some may, but I think that this is a topic that really has no hopes. Sure, I have started some inane topics of my own, but some of the reformations of the bands you list is simply preposterous on a Forum that is (primarily devoted to Led Zeppelin). Again, just my opinion and how I feel/think. Glen Matlock is the original bassist for the Sex Pistols. They've reformed several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslgarlic Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Julian Cope's The Teardrop Explodes was a late-70s post-punk band from Liverpool that Robert Plant took a liking to for a time. Kind of psychedelic in a way, but without the long drum solos. Can were a German avant-garde, experimental rock band of the early 70s...an early taste of Krautrock, so to speak. Sham 69 are not worth remembering. Sham 69 actually reformed their original line-up ,but they fell out with lead singer Jimmy Pursey and toured without him , don't know if they ever made up sham 69 are well worth remembering ,if only for their first four albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the topic is in the "other bands / music" forum...so I really don't see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you're not close minded and can see past living in the perceived stereotype world that some others can't, Chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If Wham reformed, I would not even go to any of their shows even if someone paid me $1,000 and offered me a backstage pass to meet them. The same thing goes for me with the WHO. I Love the Music of the WHO, but ever since Keith Moon and John Entwhistle are no longer alive to carry on the original music that the WHO made/created and played, I think and feel that it is NO longer the WHO. In My Opinion, once a "Major" member of a very famous band passes away, (like Led Zeppelin or the Who) then there can be No Quarter when it comes to making or replacing a member of such a "Major" band, the like of Led Zeppelin or anyone that thinks that there are anyone who could compare to the Music and or History of Led Zeppelin.

"Their music gave a generation a voice not just in music but in the choice of how they lived their everyday lives and it still sounds as great, as fresh and loaded with good intent as music can ever be." http://www.uncut.co.uk/the-clashs-jones-simonon-and-headon-to-unite-for-exclusive-6-music-interview-news#VvP5UX0THceMTViR.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
