Guest converge241 Posted June 17, 2002 Report Posted June 17, 2002 since there are a lot of punks/punk fans/punk talk here in the music section, what are the feelings on the "reunion". I use that term loosely as Jello is not a part of it!!! he was replaced by eddie cruz (yes the eddie from the TV show "courtship of Eddie's Father"). I think its the pits. it goes against what the band stood for by cashing in on any punk nostalgia/the current waning popularity of punk in the mainstream. see also: Sex Pistols cash in
Guest LooseCannon Posted June 17, 2002 Report Posted June 17, 2002 I think it's really horrible. Jello's had a lot of legal disputes with the other band members so I'm not surprised he's not a part of the tour. I'm also sure Jello wouldn't want to tarnish the DK legacy the way this tour is going to. But it was probably inevitable. What's next a Germ's reunion with Gavin Rossdale on vocals?
Guest swan Posted June 17, 2002 Report Posted June 17, 2002 I always assumed Jello controled/owned everything related to the DK. It seemed as though a company wanted to use a DK song for a new advertsing campaign but Jello said no. A tour without Jello isn't the DK, regardless of how they bill it. I bet a ton of poseur punks will get tricked, go, and not tell the difference.
Guest LooseCannon Posted June 17, 2002 Report Posted June 17, 2002 He used to control everything, until East Bay Ray and the others sued him so they could license Police Truck to the Tony Hawk people.
Guest converge241 Posted June 17, 2002 Report Posted June 17, 2002 Personally Id have a problem with the whole deal even if Jello was involved... but i dont think he would even do it anyway, so its a moot point.
