"...his eformed group..." ??? Is this one of those new words formed by putting an e in front of another word? Is a letter missing? Is it supposed to be deformed?

Will Scrantonicity 2 be on the bill?

/Screw Scrantonicity

I hope the lucky band is Scrantonicity.

I do know your reputation. So I choose my words very carefully. You tell Sting to go fark himself.

One of the coolest thing I ever saw : The French singer M, at each of his concert, takes somebody from the crowd for a chance to play anything he wants. He's given the intrument of his choice, and M and band provides the rythmic section. When I saw that, a guy that used to play in bars got to sing his song in front of 50.000 people.

Pity he played a cover song, tho.

/What would YOU sing, if provided this opportunity?

padraig: The French singer M

Does he still do "Pop Music"?

/New York, London, Paris, Munich

Not the same Guy. M is the nom de scène of Matthieu Chedid.

I'd do this but I wanna be a gunslinger.

But what if my crappy, went-nowhere band hasn't quite broken up yet?

That's ok. Just as long as you're not a rock singer.

You can make fun of him if you want, sure. I mean he's definitely past his prime.

Still, he'd kick MY ass, that's for sure.

I mean, just LOOK at the guy!

Well, if this is just for crappy never-been's, I say meh.
However, for pure awsomeness, I'd like the Jam to really re-form for a show. What are other people's suggestions?

/New Model Army'd be good, too

Hey, while we're at it, how about peace in the Middle East/a Smiths reunion?

 
Marshmallow Jones 2008-04-23 02:05:11 PM  
wow, maybe I'll see if I can get involved. My bad is pretty good, i'll post a link to some of our 48-bitrate samples on our myspace page! there are also some live shots on there of a bar we played at once and we look really cool! we're an alternative christian death metal cover band, we play some Police tunes also. we think we have a gig playing Sal's Riverfront Shiathouse sometime in April ('09), we're gonna rock the house. you should come check us out we're really good, see if you can bring any chicks. hey we'll say your name from the stage, what song do you want to hear!

1,000 times this.

Wish this was open to crappy bands in the US. If we won, we would totally close our set with Roxanne.

Outstanding bands from the New Wave/punk scene of the 1970's-1980's should have the smarts to stay un-re-formed now that they're all in their 50's and haven't played a relevant note in 20 years.

And opening their "re-formed concerts" to crappy wannabe re-formed bands is just their way of saying, "yeah, we suck now but we're still better than you ever were."

Cheap ego-boo really.

Are The Shaggs eligible?

////Bolt Upright and the Erections?

Why not just force an XTC/Talking Heads/Police reunion show?
THAT would be something to see...

Plus,
It's limited to British acts...
My band SOUNDS British....:( No fair!
