That’s not true to most people. Especially when the one sound that can’t be replaced stayed.

Thank you. When half of the original band is MIA, is it still the same sound? I miss the Smashing Pumpkins as they were right up until “Adore”. After Iha and D’arcy left, the band is so different as to only be SP by name.

The Smashing Pumpkins is and always will be Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha and D’arcy. If you don’t have the original members, it does not count.

Read his comment again, maybe?

> “SP without James Iha and D’arcy is not the band I grew to love.”

Yeah, they’re still around, but I agree with Chamber, they aren’t the same band anymore. Just like The Haunted, as pointed out in this article.

They never stopped making music and just finished a tour.

In that case I’ve gotta add The Clash to my list.

Epic!

I know. So is Peter Steele of TON & Dimebag of Pantera, which is mentioned below. Thought this was a fantasy article for us to convey which bands we wished were still around, regardless of the possibility or zero chance we’d ever see them again.

Lurch from Type o Negative is dead too.

Wayne Static is dead (R.I.P) so I don’t see another Static-X album out in the future.

You’re probably right but we can always hope.

Yeah but it’s been so long now and with Joe living in Italy I don’t think it’s gonna happen anytime soon.

If it makes you feel better Fugazi is only on hiatus.

Would LOVE another Audioslave album! I could then die happily! XD
And RATM has gotten back together on and off, so they very well could release some new stuff.

I know Chris Cornell has been back with Soundgarden, and that’s been great. But I’d like to see one more Audioslave record before he calls it quits. Days of the New was always very underrated, and I’d love to see new stuff from them too.

Pantera of course. Wylde wants to fill in, would be perfect.

And I guess I’ll go along with APC (i like doin things in 3’s). Mers is one of my top 5 all time, but 13th was a bit of mixed bag, and eMotive is one of the worst things ever. If they go back to making actual songs like Mers, great. If they make weird whispery shit like eMotive, stay broken up.

Nothing against the writer, but this line took me back to the days where I was the same way. Dreaming about an album I had only heard rumors about, but seemed like it’d never come to fruition. Never again will my life be affected by entertainment in this way. I wish I could have all that energy back that I wasted during the 14 years I waited for a certain album. It finally happened, and when it came out, I loved it. But, I felt so stupid and silly that I basically gave away portions of a period of my life for something that is simply not meant to be taken seriously.

‘At War With Reality’ is a fantastic album but a different kind of metal from what The Haunted were doing. Both released amazing music and I’m thrilled that At The Gates is back!

I’ll second that.
I’ll also add Godgory to the list.
