Meenzer 15871 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I like the way the Spice Girls are portrayed as evil money grabbing whore's, but The Verve are giving their fans what they want. I like that too. You can be pretty sure that The Verve will write their new album though and perform it with instruments themselves. Significant differences tbh OMG R33L MUSIK LOL (That said, the Spice Girls had co-writing credits on all their hits IIRC. Whether you believe they had much input is, of course, an entirely different matter...) No but gram has a point, The Verve are making new music so as a band they are contributing new material, the Spice Girls are just travelling the world miming to their old hits, they're not taking the trouble to create anything new. I read his point more as "songs are automatically better if you hold a guitar while singing them". Mind, I'm biased since I think the Verve's post-split output is about as good as that of the various Spices (i.e. not very), so both comebacks have the potential to be seriously tedious rehashes of something that was vaguely relevant ten years ago. I may change my mind if Ashcroft wears a sparkly Union Jack dress though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is all reunions are about the $$$ They broke up the first time because they ran out of ideas/hated the sight of each other and it's only when they need the next fix that they scrap the barrel so low as to reform!

Meenzer 15871 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I would support the idea of a Beatles reunion after they're all dead. That could be quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14021 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Led Zeppelin pls And not some shitty one off either Fuck off and die with that Shite. Plant cant sing anymore and Page is probably over the hill (apart from Unplugged and Clarksdale both about ten years back and his stuff with RH), the only one still fucntioning properly is JPJ, Led Zeppelin ended in 1980 for a reason IMO, they'd reached the end of there tether, (and Bonzo dying obviously) and Their Live Aid show was terrible, Let sleeping dogs lie. If Zep come back A. Il be there. B. They'l probably ruin their musical legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Some of you folk are nothing but cynics. Sporty Spice (Mel C ? ) tells us that the reunion is a '..last goodbye.' And you thought it was all about $$$$$ Shame on you. btw, true reports in the press today about Mrs Beckham being bitten by a spider in America Let's hope the spider's okay.
