Let's Have Fun: Virtual COVID-19 Reunions

It seems like the world is coming together right now in the face of the global pandemic. Metalboy texted me with the most wonderful idea. What if we worked together to try and make some dream reunions happen? These would be virtual (like FaceTime, Zoom, whatever) reunions. So no awkward face-to-face contact! Some bands that could reunite for fan morale and charity are Skid Row (Sebastian Bach and everyone else!), Bon Jovi (Richie Sambora!), KIX, LA Guns, Great White... the list goes on and on. Can anyone imagine this? It could be an amazing virtual hair nation festival of sorts. I wonder how we could get this going? A Twitter campaign? A petition? Just spitballing here. Any other ideas?

Basileus, I second Vito and Mike. It seems they are on good terms these days (or, at least that is what Tramp is saying at this moment). I also second Izzy . . . but would also add Adler. Guy is a goof. But he is part of that classic sound and seems like a well-intentioned, though shoot-yourself-in-the-foot, sorta' guy.

Me? Get ready for a few non-Glam suggestions. How about Triumph? The lesser known trio from our Northern neighbors. But they put out some quality stuff. And Styx. If we have to listen to schmaltz, why not get DeYoung back in the mix? Speaking of schmaltz, Perry and Schon, the soulful crooner and the masturbatory grinder. Why not?

And how about the classic line-up of Venom? I can take the two versions currently in rotation in bits and bites. But I would love the ridiculousness of the originals back together, making a helluva racket! While we are at it, how about a Celtic Frost reunion?

Al Atkins and Priest? Di'Anno and Priest? Rod Evans and Purple? Anyone? Anyone? Seriously though, Udo and Accept would be nice, since neither band can put out anything close to what they produced together (even if some of it is still good).

I was gonna suggest a WASP reunion. But that band is a mess inside a mess inside a mess.

Finally, the original members of Slade!!! Run Runaway! They are all around. Geesh. What an idea. It would be a bit geriatric. But I bet it would be fun.

All the best to the rest of you posters (and non-posters) here.

1) ABBA, enough said.

and for our genre:

1) Original White Lion with Mike and Vito.
2) Bon Jovi with Richie back. I'd go see that tour.
3) Van Halen with Sammy and Mike.
4) Skid Row original lineup
5) Cinderella original lineup
6) Ratt original lineup, without Robbin of course (RIP)

and just for fun if I could "bring back the dead"

1) Queen with Freddie
2) Warrant with Jani Lane
