Yes that’s right, after loosing their record deal they all disappear in to obscurity but usually 6 years down the line someone will mention a reunion on Twitter and before you can say ‘Don’t fucking do it” they have reformed, re-released their “greatest hits” and embarked on a tour to extract every last penny out of the brain dead cunts who bought their shit music the first time round.
The only people who make any money of these reunions is the record labels, they usually own the rights to the songs, thats why 1 Direction generated an estimated £800 million in commercial sales (TV, Movies, Radio, Tv etc) yet they will all be sucking and sucking dick for food scraps in 2 years time before declaring bankruptcy – cunts

These 60s nostalgia tours are a joke… There’s usually just one original member (usually the bass player) and they do the chicken in a basket circuit using the band’s original name and kidding punters that it’s their original lineup…. The Hollies still tour, but only Tony Hicks (guitar) and Bobby Elliott (drums) survive from the 60s… The rest of the lineup is just creme brulee type musos…. The Hollies with the late Carl Wayne (of The Move) wasn’t too bad, as he was from another big 60s act, but since Carl died they’ve got some mulleted buffoon doing bad Allan Clarke impressions…. How can it be the Hollies without Allan Clarke or Graham Nash anyway?
It’s like when these chinstroking knobheads go mad over the ‘country-rock ‘ period of The Byrds and drool over the vastly overrated Gram Parsons…. It was a load of bollocks: just Jim McGuinn and a bunch of sidemen… David Crosby was spot on: There was only ever five Byrds: Gene Clark, Crosby, Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke and McGuinn….

Yep. Got agree. I’d put them all inna room with the tribute bands -recently cunted- with no food and then just kill the surviving fat Cunt.
I have it on good authority Cilla Black will not be doing a come back tour; although a posthumous release of ♫♪ I Only Live to Love You. So fuck off you Griefjacking Cunts! ♫♪ is a possibility.

I loved The Small Faces, but I hated their late 70s ‘reunion…’ Sure, there was Marriott, Mac and Kenney…. But it was pub rock bollocks, and without Ronnie Lane there is no Small Faces…. Like that cunts, Joe Strummer and Bernie Rhodes, sacked both Topper and Mick Jones and brought in all these cartoon punks and had the brass balls to call it The Clash…. From The Jam is another load of tribute twaddle… How can it be The Jam without Weller? He was the fucking Jam…

That should be ‘those cunts, Joe Strummer and Bernie Rhodes….’
I do beg yer pardon…

Yeah – I saw one of their concerts at Hammersmith. Marriott trying to be all punk rock and gobbing all over the stage and audience. Fucking sad it was…

I heard Stevie became a right cunt in his later years… Resulting in both Ronnie Lane and Peter Frampton refusing to work with him… Rick Wills, who was in that 70s Small Faces lineup, was the bass player with Foreigner… He brought Marriott to meet his Foreigner bandmates, but they were far from impressed as Marriott behaved like an obnoxious, coked up cunt…
I noticed the ‘New Amen Corner’ thing on that 60s nostalgia tour poster… Which basically means definitely no Andy Fairweather-Low and as few other members of the original Amen Corner as possible….

All this shite about those cunts, One Direction, needing a break?
It’s not as if these poncy pampered tuneless knobs are a road gang or work down a coal mine…

Not all comeback bands are cunts actually what usually happens is the lead singer gets lead singer ego syndrome and becomes a egotistical cunt and the remaining members have to reform without him or her. I rather see a comeback band then see half or the shitty acts you see nowadays.

“lead singer ego syndrome”
You read Keith Richards’ autobiography and what he says about Jagger?
0
Yeah…. Keef’s tales of Jagger’s ‘LVS’ (Lead Vocalist Syndrome)… That he got so bad in the 80s that he started treating Keith, Charlie, Bill and Ronnie as badly as he treated the crew…. This led to Charlie Watts punching Jagger out…

The Stone Roses comeback worked and the Heaton Park gigs were great…. I had people for years (cunts who weren’t even born when their first album came out) saying ‘Oh they could reform with Johnny Marr… Or that guy who briefly replaced Reni in 95…’ (his name was Robbie Maddix and he was a smug cunt!)… I always said that to work it would have be them and them only: Ian, Mani, John and Reni…. Like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, The Roses were a proper band, with each member being vital to the magic… Not like Oasis: the Gallaghers have had four drummers, three bass players, and three guitarists… Without Squire or Reni it would have been dead in the water…

Just caught up with this and at the risk orf sounding pedantic, the original post is a mite misleading “The only people who make any money out of these reunions is the record labels, they usually own the rights to the songs”. While that can be true orf acts that do not perform their own original material, this is a very muddy area and rights can be split very many ways. The Recording Rights are generally owned by the entity that put up the money, usually the record company.
Then there are the Music Publishing Rights, generally split 50/50 between the recording company and the artists (composers and lyricists ie Lennon/McCartney) – which keep churning cashola every time a piece is performed or played on the media. This makes serious money for the cunts canny enough to get credited on music or lyrics while a few years down the line some borassic ex band member may claim that they jammed on a song or created a riff or a lyric for which they have not been credited and received no payment. Then in come Me Learned Friends, legal disputes ect ect. Would need many reams orf legal foolscap to set oit all the whys and wherefores such as Grand Rights ect ect but you get me drift. Much orf it is not actually defined in law but comes under the looser term ‘Custom and Practice’. I am sure you can all think orf many examples orf musos in litigation.
