Public Enemy's show 6 weeks ago was scheduled originally for the Barrowlands but had to be moved to the Academy due to it selling out within a day. They tour every other year and still sell out 3K plus venues. Don't really see why they would be in need of a revival. They've never gone away.

Public Enemy are the only essential rap/Hip Hop band on the plannet. Much better than the R&B (Rap & Bull****) 'gangsta (c)rap' that passes for Hip Hop now! Cheers!

To remind the hip hop fans that the genre had life in it once.

Agreed Chris most Hip Hop now is more dead than Elvis's corpse. LOL mate! :abovelol: Cheers!

What about the likes Leftfield and Orbital getting back together. They along with Underworld and the Chemical Brothers pushed the boundaries of Dance/Electronic music in the '90's and IMO we need some of this music back in the limelight as at the moment all the music industry is promoting to us at the moment is R&B/(c)Rap, Cheesey Dance, Nu-Metal w*** and pop-idol crap at the moment. More so get Darren Emerson back in Underworld and put together some banging 'Stadium Techno' rather than the soundtrack stuff like Breaking And Entering they've been doing at the moment - despite it being good Ambient music! Cheers!

Give 'em time to go away properly first! :lol:

Orbital only 'split' two years ago and when did Leftfield call it day? Not much more before that?

Robert Plant...his last two cds have been great!

I was lucky enough to see Mr Plant in the reasonably intimate environs of the hammersmith palais (the "school disco" night club as opposed to the larger Hammersmith Apollo), last December. Having never seen Page & Plant or any live Zeppelin at all, i was in raptures when he performed 5 or 6 zeppelin tunes amongst his solo stuff. And I couldn't help thinking: when are the 3 remaining members gonna reform the Zep for some money grabbing gigs? I'd go! I remember they did something for an Atlantic Records (40th anniversary?) gig circa 1987 with Jason Bonham on drums, and it was great! Same again please!

I doubt Pagey, Plant, and John Paul Jones would re-form Zep. I am certain they have been offered lavish sums of money for the opportunity. I respect the guys more for not cashing in to be honest....

They don't need the dough, I think :skeptic:

But yeah, congrats to Led Zep for realizing they died with John B. (as opposed to "2/4ths of the Who", who have the audacity to release a new album under that banner despite the very obvious disadvantage that it's really Townshend, Daltrey, and some backing musicians)

Well at least on a revival of appreciation....don't think a reunion is coming anytime soon, unless of course Elfman is one of those singing in-concert skeletons on Dead Man's Party. :ignore:

Would've liked to have seen Crowded House reform for a few gigs, they may not have been the edgiest band around (do we have to listen to cutting-edge stuff ALL the time?) but Neil Finn did come out with some amazing tunes. Unfortunately, the drummer hung himself a couple of years ago which put paid to any chance of that.

Aside from that and they haven't been away that long but I'm surprised no-one's mentioned James. I got into them through the Best Of and really enjoyed Millionaires & Pleased To Meet You and could easily do with another one of their albums just now.

But I think Tim Booth's gone all thespian and according to Boatraceface the rest are in Strangeways :lol: Ah well! Booth's solo record is apparently shite and only expensively available in Indie record shops so sod that!

Tim Booth is a cunt.

And everything he has done since James has been a miserable failure. In fact, his live sets now have about five or six James songs in them, and the fact that he still cant get more more than one hundred people (and sometimes a lot less!) shows how badly his career has bombed in the last five years.
