Now if the Smiths were to reform, oh my giddy aunt!
Mr Brown is no worse than Dylan or indeed Sean Ryder, though I prefer Sean for his amazing nasal sneery style.
I would hate to see the Smiths reform. I loved that band, but that was then...
Dylan is another one who survives on reputation alone.
The Mondays (and Black Grape) were always good live, Sean could do it, he just didn't know the words some times.
Seems a lot of the Roses fans are in love with the memories of the time and the feelings. You can't recapture that.
I think I am a music fan not a nostalgia fan, that is probably the difference.
If Ian Brown can sing a bit now it might not be too bad, some of the songs are pure gold. I have not heard him sing for a long time, I think last time was when he had that 'Zombies' single out. He was still atrocious then though.
Some bands have reformed and made it good - The Specials, The Pixies. Some have been not so great - Dead Kennedys (without Jello ) The Jam (without Weller) :roll:
We will see
