They are a talented rock band.They play interesting songs and they entertain.What other purpose do they need to have?

Are you sure you meant apathy? Wouldn't antipathy have been more appropriate?

Although apathy does come closer to expressing my feelings for them.

It's a beautiful day, so I wont ask a certain Canadian Flyboy to nuke your house....LOL

Interesting that that Crapity Crue wasn't the subject discussed but U2 was.  I would rather money be put behind U2 than any talentless hair band from the 80's who are now 45 year old fat idiots (as opposed to 25 year old fat idiots and even worse they have procreated and call themselves fathers  Think about it !!! We have a whole new generation of Tommy Lee jr. and Pam Anderson films to pass around) .  

They are having a WORLD TOUR, playing here in LA area the Forum, which seats 18,000 people.  Do they really have that much interest?  Kiss was bad enough. I had hoped to never hear from these guys again. 

Well, it can only be a short amount of time before we get the Men Without Hats, Cindy Laupner and Devo with  Brian Seltzer tour.

Peter,

 

Your friend "Bung" is he always a little behind?

Sony signed Echolyn some years ago and after they cut the album As the World, Sony refused to support them with a tour or advertising and then locked up there previous recodings and tried to keep them from being sold. Assholes, the lot."

Why *did* Sony do that? I mean, what were the company's motives?

I think Motley Crue is a joke and CAN'T be taken seriously. That's the main reason they weren't discussed. U2 Used 2 be something relevant and had a certain amount of credibility. Motley Crue have always been a freak show with nothing important to say, thus, easily discarded.

I wonder what kind of media attention a reunion of Peter Gabriel and Genesis might grab?

Imagine: Gabriel and Collins singing Motown hits or 50's standards. MwahahhaHahahahaha.

Danbo, you mean the stuff in Postscripts I and II? But it basically just says that nothing happened. What I don't understand is, why? What was Sony's motivation for not doing anything to plug it? Did someone in Sony just think they had made a mistake signing the band, was there a personality clash, or... what?

I think they assumed the band would make something a bit more commercial. When they heard As the World, awesome as it is, they decided it was un-marketable. The refused to put it on shelves and would not support a tour.

Anyway, here's another source. Check it out.
