Reunions
how's everyone feel about these?
I guess Killing Time and BOLD are back as a full time band now?
Do you think new releases from these bands could be good?

Only reunited or otherwise new releases by very old bands that is worthwhile that I know of- Discharge and Napalm Death.
I think there is new Obitiuary that is getting good feedback too, but I haven't heard it.
Good new material is a plus, but if the bands are at least mostly original, sound good live, and are happy to be playing I don't mine reunions or
reformations. I know it doesn't usually compare to the old days but it can still be good.

haven't heard the new bold, but a lot of people didn't like them the first time around, so we'll see what happens. kt i kinda feel bad for...
everyone has been going nuts at their shows to all the songs from brightside, no one dances for anything else. too bad. the other releases have a
bunch of great songs, they're just not classics like the tracks from brightside are.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Reunions are gay, no one ever matches the intensity they had when they were young and pissed off. I've gone to see a few reunions of bands I love and
always walked out let down.

i never got into bold
brightside is a classic , but after happy hour, i cant even remember any songs off the top of my head
woulda liked to been at that show...did someone say it was filmed?
Napalm Death is kind of funny anyway, when you think about it, there are NO original members in the band at all, so when they play songs like Scum or
anything off that release, if they still do, isn't it almost like a cover tune?
kinda surprised the dead kennedys never did a reunion

I'm not sure that they've recorded but i know they consider themselves band again and aren't just reuniting.
I love a lot of non Brightside era KT stuff. Happy Hour is an amazing record. KT beat out Sheer Terror i think even though i like sheer terror as a
whole a lot more.
I personally love reunions due to me being a youngin.

I think reunions are cool since I never got a chance to see these bands that are reuniting. It's definately not like seeing them "back in the day",
but whatever. Seeing a band is seeing a band.

I'm not a fan of reunions but if you're gonna do it, do it right. I understand that the guys in Killing Time and Uppercut practiced for upwards of a
year before playing. What's sad is when bands that never mattered the first time around reunite and people start acting like the Beatles are playing
the fucking Ed Sullivan show again.

these bands should play once ion a while, but recording and touring is always a bad idea...
a good example is Burn

There's a link for the new record somewhere. I'll find it and post it later.
I feel like Killing Time could possibly put out another good record as long as they didn't pretend to be the same people they were way back when and
wrote about what affects them now.
As for bold..if they release something good i'll be very suprised.
As far as GB goes i think that's gonna kinda suck..not much time to practice and it's gonna be way to full in CB's.

Luckily that one 7" is enough to put BURN in my top 25 bands.
Shall Be Judged=one of the best hardcore songs.

i think the reunions are great for the youngsters and the nostalgic old folks like myself. some bands, usually the ones that just do it for the
money, sound so terrible, they're better off not bothering. killing time was amazing though. anthony has always had one of the best voices in
hardcore and he's still got it 100%.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

What is the worst reunion performance you've ever seen?

Lariat reunion show. Scott J talked too much and their guitarist broke about a billion strings. Man their singer was a douche.
I agree that the reunions are great for kids like me who never had a chance to see these bands. I really couldn't imagine KT being that much better
back then anyways. I'm really bummed i missed them and Underdog this past weekend.
The only reunions i've really disagreed with are YOT and BOLD.
I'd like to see Breakdown and Integrity reunions!

the only reunion show i've gone to out of the million that have happend recently was the suicide file one. and they only broke up a year ago, which
would usually piss me off if it wasn't to raise money for something special, but it was awesome. they are so good. so good. and i'll probably be at
the GB reunion and i'll be at posi numbers where multiple reunions are happening. yeeeeeeeeah

I wasnt really impressed with the Bold "reunion" at CBs. Granted I was sitting in the last seat at the bar and had to piss like a race horse, but
they sounded sloppy and I wanted to leave. Not being able to get to the bathroom was only part of it.
