The BBC has been on the case yesterday and today, and at least I’m somewhat interested and perhaps even tempted to go see them. But do people care?

What other band, if they got back together, would tempt you?

Definitely maybe.

I always preferred Blur anyway.

Honestly, if they had half the talent of Damon Albarn they wouldn't need the cash.

I think there's a large fanbase because of the intersection of people who grew up with them and the people who were too young to see them live but wished that they could, so yes, people probably do care to an extent, but it's more accurate that people will be interested to hear it so they can try and get tickets

I can't really think of a band that reasonably could get back together which would have a larger pull except for maybe One Direction, but even that's a push when considering the number of people who could be interested in getting tickets

I’d say Daft Punk too 😄

My wife is well excited about being able to see them live. She’ll pay whatever they want.

It's clear to me that someone thinks it's important enough to repeatedly include it in my news feed regardless of how I feel about it.

Never liked the music to be honest. They were at a Reading festival I went to one year, and I thought I would try to see what all the fuss was about. I walked away after two songs. Just not for me.

Meh. I remember the late 90s living in Nottingham and suddenly 50% of young men had monobrows.

Personally, I'd pay good money to see Pink Floyd (not Syd, obviously, but the later line-up), or Marillion's original line-up. If we could gently and ethically bring Neil Peart back from beyond the grave, then Rush.

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

For Neil Peart I’d be happy to overlook any ethical considerations.

Nearly had that when they (less H) joined Fish onstage at Aylesbury some years back. Managed to get a couple of pics to treasure ;-) For me though - Genesis with Peter.

Who?

No, not the Who, Oasis...

[–] DMBFFF@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'd rather see the Who as they're now than Oasis at their prime.

[–] muzzle@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I never care about reunions, I'd rather go listen to a cover band of enthusiast.

[–] wren@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago

the only Oasis song I know is the one people play to be deliberately annoying. I'd much rather be rickrolled

I would have...but not at those prices. Dynamic pricing is an utter scam, and it is utter madness that artists will charge the amounts they're charging.

They should have probably arranged a residency somewhere, and just done a full week at different stadiums around the world.
