The original Fields Of The Nephilim.
Also a band who used to gig around London in the late 80s called The Otherside.
Haircut 100.
They just should, because Favourite Shirt and Fantastic Day are like aural time machines.
Guns and Roses
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns...
None. There was a reason they split up.
CFH- http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17040945
The Wildhearts are currently semi-reformed, or possibly semi-split, it's hard to tell with that lot. Anyway, they're the most experienced reformers of all time and should do it again.
Peter Gabriel era Genesis
Iron Maiden with Paul Dianno
Original Diamondhead
Howard Devoto and the Buzzcocks - oh look they have 🙂
oh yeah and "Lemon Curd" the glam rock band i used to play in when i was a kid
we were sh1t
Northwind - 😯
Hadn't seen that....One can only hope!
Wildhearts ROCK! FACT.
Talk Talk.
Mark Hollis had a brilliant voice.
the jam
pink floyd
Proper Sepultura? No offence to Derrick Green but they've never been the same without Max, and the most interesting thing Soulfly have ever done is play Seps songs.
White Stripes - cos I never got to see them live.
Anything older than that I wouldn't be remotely interested.
Rootjoose
If you were in the South West mid 90's you'll know.
Rattlebox
If you were in Snaith in the late 90's you'll know.
🙂
Carmel
If you were in Manchester in 1986 you'd know.
Anyone who has seen Slash with Miles Kennedy knows that GnR are best left in history. Axl and his chums touring now aren't even in tribute band territory, and that's when they turn up on time.
the jam
dr feelgood
deacon blue
bowie & mick ronson & ziggy stardust
Devs, been there and done that.
Original GNR line up back together would be explosive. Either awesome or awful, but I would still buy tickets. As would hundreds of thousands of others.
pink floyd
That'll never happen, mores the pity. It wouldn't be the same with a different keyboard player. R.I.P. Richard Wright.

I've got Terrorvision on the phone, they'd like a word.
BROS
You can't go back. 🙁
I've tried ... with Deep Purple. 😥
The founding line up of The fall, as they were in the 70's.
All the Ian Mackaye bands ever!!!! Fugazi, Minor threat, Embrace and so on...
I'd love to see Be Bop Deluxe back together.
Original Kraftwerk line-up.
The White Stripes
The Cooper Temple Clause
The Music
Jurassic 5

Oh come on now chap, how many times have TV reformed? Is it three times now? The Wildhearts could split and reform 3 times in a week.
please no will they stop it. it's always horrible.
The Clash.
Doesn't get more obvious than that.
RIP Joe, you're missed..

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
Saw GnR last year and thought they were great even though they came on stage 2 hours late they played a 3 hour set. That was a late night.
And yes I have seen them with the original line up. Twice.
garage, don't think STP have had any fatalities, didn't they tour fairly recently in fact?

Guns and Roses
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns...
Please, for the love of God, no! Musically, they're ok, but Axl's godawful caterwauling should be classed as a crime against humanity.
Bands I'd like to see reform:
Talk Talk
Tiger
Linoleum
Lush
Kenickie
Dark Star
Genesis w/Gabriel
There's only two there I've never seen.
Proper Sepultura? No offence to Derrick Green but they've never been the same without Max, and the most interesting thing Soulfly have ever done is play Seps songs.
Aye, always feel lucky that I saw them on the Roots tour before Max left, wish I could have seen then during the Arise and Chaos AD tours.
Pantera original lineup
Really? I preferred them after Phil Anselmo joined. Before that...

Some random ones:
Thin White Rope were really starting to get together a powerful sound with The Ruby Sea, but split immediately after. Think due to pressure of constant touring without getting the commercial break.
Red red meat were a Chicago band in the 90s on sub pop that put out a superb album with Bunny gets paid - seriously miles better than the stuff around at that time. Didn't take hold and they folded after one other album.
Slint have passed into the pantheon, but they only relased one full album and never had success at the time. They have re-formed for one-off gigs now and again but would be great to see them try some new material.
It's not like I'm desperate to see these bands as of 2012 or anything, more like it's a shame that they never received the recognition they deserved for their talents so it would be nice to see them receive that second time round.
A band who did get recognition but badly need to get their shit together is At the drive in / the Mars Volta. If the bloke who left and is not in the Volta could just get back in and sort Omar out you'd be looking at the best rock band on the planet. Think they're too far gone for that to happen though.

Guns and Roses
... and the other positive comments +1
I've seen them all in thier various guises, with the current GnR being fantastic, Slash with Myles playing well etc.
It'd be a global headline making re-union, anarcic and pretty much every fan'd sign up for tickets.
Awesome stuff....
You GnR fans know why they are always late on stage?

Go on then...?
That Petrol Emotion would be nice.
The proper CuD , not the one with the guitarist who couldn't hack it a while back
O.p.- I work with a fella who used to manage/help out the Neph.
We still laugh about the flour.

I assume they're just calling to agree?
😀
The Wildhearts are in my Top One Bands of All Time, but Ginger doesn't really need to reform them, does he? His solo gigs are packed with Wildhearts tunes, being played by ex-Wildhearts, to crowds of Wildhearts fans. And then there's his solo stuff, including this:
http://www.pledgemusic.com/artists/gingerwildheart
Which hit it's target in 6 hours, rather than the 6 months he was hoping for.
But yes, the Wildhearts will reform anyway. That's what they do.
😀

Sorry, forgot about that.
It's because Axl Rose is a complete prick. He just keeps the rest of the band waiting... because he can. (MrsDezB did some work for them)

Well, others (even Axl) have used the word "eccentric". Slash described "...his mind just works in different inexplicable ways than other peoples..."
So he's eccentric, thinks he's one of the biggest stars in rock history (well, he is). I was still happy to wait 2hrs to see them. I'd waited 10/15 years so another 2 hours wasn't gonna trouble me TBH.
Maybe I'd feel differently if I didn't think GnR were absolute crap, but to treat the people who've put you where you are with such disdain... he also won't let any other band members near him until they are onstage.
Flies to gigs in a separate private jet from them too.
But, there you go, each to their own eh? 🙂
because he can
That's the biggest anticlimax I've heard since my Uncle bought a job lot of Viagra. I was waiting for some insider gossip there, rather than confirmation of what everyone knew anyway.
I assume they're just calling to agree?
Well, yeah, alright, in Terrorvision's case it just feels like they've reformed more times than Spinal Tap's had drummers.
Mate of mine's a big fan of the Wildhearts, so I get all the Ginger related news sort of by reverse osmosis.
Thanks Cougar, I aim to please 🙂
Didn't realise the wildhearts were so popular. I have the mondo akimbo cd single which I have never played is it sought after?
Cougar- have to hand it to Terrorvision, they might not reform as often as some, but they do it with unparalleled jawdropping cheek. Last ever gig ever! EVER!
Zippy- the vinyl was pretty desirable but I think the CD never really became very collectible. Might be worth trying their forum, WHs fans tend to be mental obsessives.
DezB - MemberYou GnR fans know why they are always late on stage?
Freakishly, I once saw GNR come on stage late and it [i]wasn't Axl's fault[/i]. Never to be repeated gig-going experience that.
Bands that should reform that might actually be decent?
Talking Heads
fIREHOSE (except I've read rumours they are reforming this year...)
Im embarassed! I thought phil anselmo was original. Feel a proper plank now. 😳

I know, I've been to all of them, and (literally) bought the t-shirt. Bastards. (-:
Pink Floyd
The Jam
Specials (original members)
All bands I love but I'm was too young to see when they were about.
At least I got the see The Who a few years ago.
Faithless
Pink Floyd. Ah well going to see the Australian Pink Floyd Show next month 8)
ace of base from early 90's 😉

Finger on the pulse me 😳
As it was written so it has come to pass - At the Drive in reforming for a couple of dates in the US in the spring. Hopefully will be a success and do some stuff over here.
Wishbone Ash, would very much like to hear some of the stuff from Argus again, not from two different bands though
Buddy Holly?
Reform nah, the nostalgia just wouldn't be the same.
The Beta Band.
Sabbath at download this year minus bill,shame.
Iron Maiden with Paul Dianno
+1, Bruce Dickinson era is shite in comparison. I prefer the punky kind of edge they had with Dianno.
Fields Of The Nephilim are at Sonisphere this year. also, I would put money on Bill Ward being at Download. I've got a feeling it may be their last live performance in that line up.
S-Club Seven
Busted
2-Unlimited
On a serious note I would like to see some new material from The Jesus and Mary Chain. But with the original line up (I know they are still going in some form or another)
The Incredible String Band.
the macc lads
Venom - the proper lineup with Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon.
