Sucker.

But what if they did? Who would front them? I think I'd rather see them without Moz & instead with someone like Edwyn Collins. (But not Roddy Frame.)

The Doors are doing it with Ian Astbury. .. may not be your fantasy ...

What band would you like to see reform, *without* one key member? Who would the replacement be?

Beach Boys. Replace Mike Love with.. well, anybody.

Glen Campbell filling in for Trent Reznor in NIN.

Isn't Mike Love the only original Beach Boy left?

Joy Division should reform, only with Bernard Sumner singing.

Al Jardine's still around, too.

Digital Underground, with the dead one-testicled rapist replaced by John Cale.

The Dead Kennedys without Jell......oh, wait.

I think the original Jane's Addiction (with Eric Avery back on bass) *WITHOUT* Perry Farrel would be vast improvement. In his stead? Ummmmmm......Chris Cornell (he's got a better set of pipes to begin with).

Dom is so OTM I can hardly stand it.

Bass:

daDOOOOOwwwwWOOOOWwwwdaDOOOOOOswwWOOOWwww

Cale: Awright, stop whatcha doin', 'cause I'm about to ruin/tha image an' tha style that you're used to/I look funny/but yo/I'm makin' money, see/so yo world I hope ya ready for me

OK who's the millionaire around here somebody has to make this happen IMMEDIATELY

yes I know that 2Pac doesn't deliver the rap in question but I still think that an opportunity to see John Cale do the Humpty Dance would be too precious to waste

in a sixty nine John Cale's nose will tickle your rear

Nirvana as fronted by Avril Lavigne, thus causing every 16 year old in the country to spontaneously combust with RAAAAAAAGE.

See also The Manic Street Preachers deciding to replace Richey with the Norwegian feller out of a1. Assuming he's their guitarist.

...people say "You look like MC Hammer on crack, Mr. Cale"

Didn't you mean to say Spinal Tap??

David Sylvian replaces Adrian Belew in King Crimson...the band decides not to use the silly name anymore...the band decides not to play that pathetic prog rock anymore...the band becomes Sylvian/Fripp once again and things are back to being right in the music world.

John, you crazy man. It is an image, though. Would Cale play the violin too?

BTW, I saw a performance by one of your Greatest Fans on Thursday night down in Dunedin. It was pretty damn good too! I'll drop you a line about it privately.

If Guns 'n' Roses reforms with Robbie Williams as frontman, doesn't that mean that the Smiths would have to reform with...I dunno...Dave Mustaigne as frontman? His version of "Girlfriend in a Coma" might be amusing.

GnR: Well, supposedly (according to buddyhead, so it could be made up) Slash, Duff and Izzy have reteamed and have the dude from Buckcherry as their lead singer. Kinda sad.

― wl (wl), Sunday, 15 September 2002 00:07 (twenty-three years ago)

The Smiths & Ian McCulloch. But Johnny Marr really should hurry up and join New Order already. You know he wants to.

Slash, Duff, and Izzy really should just suck it up and take a gigantic paycheck to play with Axl.

Actually, you could say the same with Morrissey and Marr (Rourke & Joyce are expendible), but with a much less gigantic paycheck.

What's the name of that Housemartins/Beautiful South lead singer guy? He'd be a good fit based on what few Housemartins songs I remember hearing (where he sounded like he was ripping off Morrissey's vocal tics left and right).

Verve (that is Verve with no "The") with Peter Hammill in place of Ashcroft.
