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. :unsure:

But how would you feel about an Abba reunion or a GWAR tribute???

I don't know about separately, but simultaneously, that would be the greatest show ever. :unsure:

Hey I was going for one of Meenzer's all-time faves! :huh:

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!

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.

Bah.

 

Wouldn't mind that.

 

Some of The Specials joined Lily Allen at Glastonbury too. Drop her and that would be canny.

The original line-up of dinosaur jr are currently touring, think I'll waste my hard earned on that instead.

Some of you folk are nothing but cynics. Sporty Spice (Mel C ? :lol: ) 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 :outahere: Let's hope the spider's okay.

they're not reforming, they're celebrating their history

 

 

 

classic quote on the news though: so, Girlpower? 6 children and 1 husband - hardly a good example is it?

 

Depends how you look at it - you could argue that they're empowered single mothers. :lol:

Everytime I hear something from them they just sound like dessicated husks who have long forgotten what it is to be even remotely human.

If thats the standard of your interpretation then you did well to knock back Barbara Striesand :outahere:
