Im not talking about circumstances such as death that keep a band apart. But what groups out there will never get back together or tour again? One band is Pink Floyd. I came to grips last year that they are no more, whether with Waters coming back or without him. Pink Floyd was by far the greatest concert experience of my life. I saw them once in 1987 and three times in '94. Who else is finished? I also believe Zep will never tour again.

let everyone thank the luckiest star that jane's addiction is back together so they can put on some rockn @$$ shows!!!!!
-
Probably Guns N' Roses too, like we were just discussing in Scott's thread.
Hopefully the Spice Girls work things out with Ginger, and reunite as well! :P
-
The Police. Sting doesn't need 'em, though Copeland and Summers are willing. Too many chefs for Sting's kitchen, even though it's Stewart's band. ::)
-
I keep hearing Page and Plant are going to tour again, who knows on that one
I would love to see a Soundgarden reunion...I never saw them live and I think they broke up right when it was getting good. The sad thing was they were together so long before they made it big that they sorta got sick of each other. That would also mean Matt Cameron leaving Pearl Jam and we can't have that
My heart wishes these guys were all still around :'(
Nirvana
Blind Melon
Alice in Chains
Gn'R...not sure, I am still keeping an open mind on the new guys. I still have faith in Axl who has written some of the greatest rock songs ever. And that is even without Izzy, if they would ever reunite that would be magic. I will stick to my guns that Slash is replaceable, but not Duff :-*
And this whole thing really begs the question...if John and George were still alive do you think the boys would have ever gotten back together? Or was John too far gone. I think they would have, $$$ means everything.
-
I think Floyd will tour again. It's just a matter of time and greed. Not that I have anything malicious to say about Floyd, I love them and would see them again in a heartbeat, but the amount of cash they can make is just too great.
BTW, Zeppelin would technically fit into your "dead" category, unless you know something about Bonham that we don't ;) We had tickets to see them in Minneapolis but he choked just before the tour began :-[

Actually, Pink Floyd MAY actually happen. With the downturn in the economy, some rockstars lost a lot of money in the dotcom's. So, you may actually see something like a Pink Floyd reunion (minus Syd Barret) because of financial considerations.
-
As for some reunions that won't happen?
-Soundgarden
-The Police
-Primus (original lineup)
-Faith No More
-
Led Zeppelin :(
-
Page and Plant toured together a few years ago, but didn't use the Zeppelin moniker. The set included a lot of Zep tunes, but they didn't sound that great, IMO.
I'd like to see a Floyd reunion, with or without Waters.
-
3 Points here:
Primus will tour again. They have reunited to record a new album. Tour will follow.
Pink Floyd is all done. As far as money is concerned, they are loaded. David Gilmour within the last year donated millions (one of his castles, money and tons of his equipment for charity) . His response: I cant take it with me and I have more than enough money. Another reason they will not tour is that they have been averaging a new album like every 8-10 years. Plus there tours are very demanding and last like 3-4 years each.
As for Zep, I understand without Bonham that the circle is not complete. But a drummer, even as good as Bonham, can be replaced. Jason was rumored at one point. I saw the Page and Plant tour, and while entertaining they have lost all of there mojo. I am more interested in them touring under the Led Zep name and with Jonesy on bass.

Here's a flash back for ya!
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/abba.gif)
Members of the Swedish '70s band ABBA say they won't get back together -- not even for $1 billion.
An American-British consortium offered them that amount to reunite for 100 concerts, but they refused. "It is a hell of a lot of money to say no to, but we decided it wasn't for us," Benny Andersson tells the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet.
:(

Hear is one band I HOPE never tours again.
New Kids on the Block
-
Rage Against The Machine
I saw Audioslave in concert, so its close, but I never got to see Rage. I had tickets for the RATM and Beastie Boys concert, but then Mike D broke his shoulder and the tour was canceled, then Zack left Rage.
I'm still hoping for a reunion tour
-
I almost forgot the obvious, and I am sure many will disagree. The original Van Halen. I saw them back in the day with DLR and I wouldnt have it any other way. Sammy, Gary Cherone were amateurs in this band. Both singers are talented doing there own thing, but early VH was very distinctive. Between Dave's ego and Eddie's intolerance toward him, look out for worlds to collide if they ever did tour again. The tour would last 1 month tops ;)

But will Herb be back playing Drums? Or will it be Brain again?

Waters might be the one in need of the money. Plus, Nick Mason, while a full member, doesn't get much of the royalty money. He might be in favor as well. Richard Wright is more of a hired hand since he got ousted from the band before The Final Cut. So, he might be interested as well. Gilmour is the best off financially, so he's the only one I could see holding out.

Jonesy's been touring on his own. He put out a couple of album's, and I saw him open for King Crimson. From an artistic standpoint, he's doing much better work than Page or Plant have done in their respective solo careers. AND, he put on a killer show. Seeing King Crimson after him, I actually felt sorry for them follow him. He and his band stole the show.
As for rumors of Jason Bonham filling in...just rumors. He's following down his father's path in terms of drug and drink problems, so that's not very likely. And as for their collective finances, they're all in good shape following the DVD and live album releases. I would say a tour is fairly unlikely.
-
While I agree on the Pink Floyd thoughts, one thing came to mind. I still consider them Pink Floyd without Waters, yet I wouldnt consider them Pink Floyd without Gilmour. Sounds screwy but thats the way I feel.
-
I could die a happy man if I saw the original Mighty Van Halen play just once.
And I would die a happier man if Page, Plant, and Jones played together again as well, preferrably with a Bonham on drums.
-
Not sure how many people here know of them, but I want more than anything for Refused to get back together.
But with Dennis in the International Noise Conspiracy and the apparent trouble they got into with Epitaph records, I doubt it will happen any time soon.

Found this while searching for the other concerts thread--thought it'd be fun to bump it up, because. . . since this thread was last posted to (over four years ago! :o ) the following, previously-mentioned groups have either done one-off concerts or full-blown reunion tours:
Led Zeppelin*
Pink Floyd
The Police
Rage Against the Machine
Van Halen*
Spice Girls
Alice in Chains*
*missing original member due to death :'( or due to the fact that Eddie is an ******* of a nearly-unbelievable magnitude
And there have been other bands, like the Pixies and My Bloody Valentine, who weren't mentioned originally, who have gotten back together after lengthy hiatuses recently, too.
Just goes to show: Never underestimate the power of the almighty dollar Euro.

Too bad the Pink Floyd reunion was only a three set gig at Live 8. I saw them in 1994 and would love to see them live again with or without Waters in the line-up.

Bide your time, barring someone dying I'd bet it'll happen. I'd be thrilled to see them too and I expect to have the opportunity within the next five years. Most of these bands toured when they could charge about $30 for a ticket instead of $200. There's a lot more Scotch to be bought in this lifetime and this means you can upgrade again.

that's the truth. to me it hardly matters who gets back together. if it costs $400 for me and my wife to go, i'm probably not going. probably the only band i would shell out some real dough like that to see is rage against the machine. they are pretty much the only band i ever wanted to see but never had the chance.
-
I thought it was pretty amusing to look over the entire thread and see who actually toured again as well.
As fro me, I'd die a happy man to see Genesis tour with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett again.
