I thought as sort of a welcome back to myself I would attempt to make a poll. It's good practice! Feel free to ignore it.

I went and saw the Misfits last week. As one of the local reviewers wrote, this concert featured the Misfits' original bassist, the Ramones' second drummer, and Black Flag's third vocalist. I thought it was a fun show, and I knew I wasn't really going to a Misfits show anyway, so I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't exactly a supergroup, but they did some Ramones songs and a couple of Black Flag songs too.

Heck, I saw the Eagles on their first reunion tour back in '95 or whatever, and they had the best-known lineup for that show, and we would have been better off just seeing Joe Walsh.

Somehow I screwed this up, so I guess I need more practice.

I fixed it.

I said All of Them but with a *. I don't mind if a position that was transient in the band's first run (like the drummer) is a new person.

The poll was sort of just practice and a jumping-off point. It's just too dependent on the particular band.

I think it must make Jerry Only lose sleep knowing that if Glenn Danzig was back in the band they'd be playing to 50 times as many people.

It really all depends.
On the band in question, on whether there was new material which involved the new people and whether it rocked or not...

Generally, I despair of reunions, though the Pixies one I would for sure go and see. I guess because well, Frank couldn't get old - he always kinda was middle aged.

I enjoyed the 1997 Jane's Addiction reunion tour with Flea sitting in at bass, but I was never a big enough Jane's Addiction fan to be a purist about it.

Well, see I'd probably have rather seen that line-up then, than the original line-up playing currently, just because the new material really didn't interest me very much. Also, well I can never even remember the bassist name in Jane's... Perry, Stephen Perkins and Dave Navarro yep, but not the bassist. If I saw his name though...

Eric Avery, but I think that Jane's has pulled the pin again. I remember reading that recently.

Ah yes, of course.
I was reading not long ago that despite Jane's headlining Lollopalooza, Audioslave were the ones to see there, which I can believe.

I was most looking forward to the Flaming Lips and the Polyphonic Spree.  The Lips cancelled their tour entirely to work on a new album when Lollapalooza got cancelled, but I did get to catch the Spree in Chicago.  Dang, that is a fun show to see.
