I have my very own addition to make and apologies to Urban if he already had this one in mind.
Needless Band "Reunions":
You know what I mean, when a band has a reunion when most of the actual band is already dead or even worse most of the original members don't want to be a part of it but it f*cking happens anyway. Guns N Roses is the best example, I was psyched to hear GnR were getting back together (being a really big fan of them when I was a young lad), but oh wait, it's just Axl and that douchebag who played keyboards on the spagetti incident, well whoopedy doo.
Bands "reuniting" when their most important member is long gone is one of the worst. The Doors and Queen are excellent examples. Even worse is when a band "reunites" and NONE OF THE IMPORTANT MEMBERS ARE INVOLVED. Like The Yardbirds, yeah thats right, they actually had a "reunion" in 1992. Lession one, if you have a "reunion" then at least try including one of the members people actually care about. No Clapton, Beck or Page. They could at least have included Keith Relf but oh wait he's dead, they couldn't even get the damn bass player, it was just the drummer and the rhythm guitarist. What a sh*tload of f*ck.
Remember when Dinosaur Jr reunited? By that I mean J. Mascis reuniting with Lou Barlow, the goddamn bass player who didn't contribute jacksh*t when he was in the band for say, 3 f*cking years, and Sebadoh sucks anyway. But the indie kids were all over it naturally.
To me one of the most appalling so called reunions ever was The Smashing Pumplins, talk about pointless. "Ok guys, I'm getting my band back together, only I'm not, Iha and D'arcy can go f*ck themselves it's just gonna be me and the drummer, the exact same lineup from my solo album." So if Corgan and Chamberlin is enough to count as a "reunion" then why wasn't his sh*tty solo album also a Pumpkins album? What kind of reunion is that? You can't have a f*cking reunion all by your f*cking self, thats like if Morrissey said "hey, I'm reuniting The Smiths" but the reunited band just consisted of him and no one else. What a bunch of bullsh*t, and what an incredibly desperate attempt at getting attention. I love the Pumpkins, when I heard about their "reunion" thats what I f*cking expected, the f*cking Smashing Pumpkins, all those idiot fanboys who said Corgan was the band anyway can screw themselves, so he played most of Siamese Dream, well thats a lame reason, D'arcy and Iha was involved with everything else, they were members of the f*cking band for as long as the band was ever relevant. Even if Corgan WAS the Pumpkins then thats even less of a reason to have a reunion if the "band" didn't even f*cking break up in the first place. What a big "f*ck you" to the fans, as well as the logic of what counts as a band reunion, Corgan can go f*ck himself, or should I say f*ck themselves? Assh*le.
