But John has been pretty verbal in recent months about being "open" to a reunion now. So the ban has definitely been lifted!
iirc Doug and Stu said they weren't into a reunion with John. But of course I'm sure they would be. Just too much money. Fogerty holds the best cards in his hands. We all remember what happened at their Hall of fame induction, though.I really hate having to see Fogerty up there playing with douche-bags like Kenny Arnoff overplaying like an idiot. He slams Stu and Doug for not being "world class players" but the simple and tight beauty of CCR is badly missing from his shows. |

Not trying to drag this off topic but I saw Fogerty at the local jazz festival (iknowrite?) and he put on an amazing performance, I'd love to see him get back together with CCR too bad about Tom though. All of the news articles are about Van Halen appearing at the Oscars to announce a world tour. Nothing about the Beach BOys. I found this: http://newsblaze.com/story/2011113010332100001.bw/topstory.htmlThe term 'Supergroup' used in the story. I can live with that! |

Wel as AGD has often said. Bit hard to have a reunion for a band that has never broken up!
Sorry. Most likely VH.
Think not.  |

Van Halen will be the band that will "reunite" tonight ... I put "reunite" in quotes because that band has been performing constantly for 40 years, "reuniting" both with Roth and Hagar several years ago.
I can't imagine a reunion of Brian, Mike, Bruce, and Al that would possibly do justice to the Beach Boys sound. Most of the recent old-man-rocker-reunions have been pathetic, go-through-the-motions exercises in paycheck cashing. The best of the reunions was in 2007 with Led Zeppelin, who rehearsed for six weeks and did only one show where the proceeds went to charity. The surviving Beach Boys are very old now, and their voices are quite different. They would need to rehearse for a long time to get a good sound, but even then, I find it difficult to imagine that it would be nearly as good as it was in the 60's, or even the 70's. Do you think Brian would rehearse with Mike for 6 weeks?
I would, however, love to see Brian and Mike on stage together, accepting a Grammy for SMiLE. That would be a dream come true. Say what you want about Mike and the history of SMiLE, but his voice sounds wonderful throughout TSS.

Andy Greene, Associate Editor, Rollingstone.com: "My guess for the "iconic band" that's announcing their "monumental" reunion at the Grammy special this week: The Beach Boys."
Just adding more oil to the fire lol

The words 'reunite' and 'reunion' might be a trifle, ah, excessive in this context. Remember, this is just the nominations announcement, not the awards ceremony itself. Scale back your expectations from 11 to maybe... oh, 7 ? For now...  |

I'm currently drowning out this crap with "Are you Ready for Love" by Elton.
Late 1970's-Early 80's Elton is his best phase imo. I need to pick up more stuff from this time. "Momma can't buy you love" is one of my top 5 of his
