If there was ever an award for “bands that don’t and never mattered” RKL would be in the top 5. Hated them and their dumb schtick back in the day… seeing a bunch of mid 50s dudes revisit that shit now in 2025 would be painful beyond belief. Who the fuck would actually go???!

They should probably have it at a skater's house (with a half-pipe in the back) in Goleta, cuz that's abut how many people will go.

The Dead Kennedys are still going in some capacity, and haven't released anything since 1986.

I had to look them up

Sad I will never see NoMeansNo live, and may never see King Crimson..

You might get to see King Crimson. I got to see them at Ravinia a few years back, and they were fantastic.

There ought to be an option for "Depends on the band."

Some of these reunion shows are great, others suck, and everything in between.

KC I don't think is a legacy band, they have been changing line-ups and musical styles since 1969. The Fall could not have been been a legacy act either.

I saw KC at the Paramount in Seattle. They were great.

Oh right that's a good point. That's why I'm scared they won't be playing anymmore tho, I think the chance there will be no new line up prompting Fripp to go out again is pretty high.

And very jealous Krev and John! Have only heard great things about their more recent shows. I'm a bit frustrated to have slept on Beat as well. Even tho the 80s Krim is like my favorite, I kind of initially dismissed it as dinosaur stuff. The general consensus seems to be tho that it was pretty fresh and alive. Hopefully will get to see that semi-legacy act if they tour again!

It was rad as fuck.
