Reuben Kinkaid Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 http://www.punknews.org/article/45750 http://www.punknews.org/article/45757 I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I find reunion shows stupid and a vain attempt to capture the magic that has long since gone. On the other hand sweet holy hell this are two of the greatest bands of all time and I would probably kick myself forever if I didn't witness it.

groyn shmoyn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 my lady brought this up as a subject over dinner tonight... my response was "whatever"... they were good at some point though. probably still are... just not as enthused as i was 10 years ago.

Fist 666 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i think its cool. refused 'this just might be the truth' was one of my first hardcore albums and i never got the chance to see them. will i go to coachella? absolutely not. i hate fests and i hate 'music people.' but i would be super amped if either band does a full tour.

Reuben Kinkaid Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 My thoughts exactly, fist. Festivals suck in general for live shows, being surrounded by hipsters who knew nothing about these bands the first time around in the sweltering desert heat would just be awful. Hopefully this leads to some kind of tour and they don't just stick to the festival circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATEU Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow for once I'm not the only jaded asshole... Fuck fests. Music sounds like shit and if ur not side by side with some toy hipster it's a smelly crust bag white with dreads... Best I can hope for is both sets get good quality leaks... ATDI won't do a tour though, they would just play songs and tour as Mars Volta... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TippinBetweenYourThighs Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They better fucking tour. Or come to SXSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindle Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i feel bad for people who dont go to music festivals or any kind of event because of "the people" but then again i dont care about either of these bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcay Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I guess Refused has been asked to play for a few years now and basically said its not worth it to them unless the price is right. So Im kinda wondering how much they will make. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 only thing i dont like about fests is the $ sometimes, other than that i dont understand the hatred for fests. i hate most people around me whether im at a small show or a fest. every fest i've been to the music sounds fine. and i'd much rather have this... I find reunion shows stupid and a vain attempt to capture the magic that has long since gone. than this...

grd Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I bet AtDI will do an ATP, at least I hope they will. I'd happily go see them again, they were rad live. As for reunions, they usually smack of money grabbing desperation but it's never stopped me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleazeside Heights Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 all these reunions feel so forced. Just tryna make a buck. guess I can't blame them, but the whole trend is kinda lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better fucking go if you were ever a huge fan. I remember I always told myself if there were two bands I would like to go back and see it would be Led Zeppelin and At The Drive-In.... Not saying they're on the same level at all but on a personal fan level of bands I've missed outta my era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
