The GET UP KIDS are having a reunion? What have they been apart - maybe three years? WHY DON'T you try waiting 20 plus years for some reunions like I have with acts like HAN HALEN, STRAY CATS or the POLICE? At LEAST they're more tolerable than the NUMB KIDS ON MY CROCK - aren't those idiots playing Sprint here soon? If I had the time, I'd rally some friends together and hold up a sign saying "Lame-O Concert Here Tonight". Never know, might actually make the news. NEW KIDS - give us a break - PLEASE. Would love to hear what ANDREW DICE CLAY would say about those no-talented idols. Ha! Bubba babbled it, you read it here.
Manvill, I know that the GET UP KIDS and NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK are two different bands. Sheez! What do you think I've been smoking? Thought about catching the EAGLES, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to stay awake during the entire concert. Besides, I didn't feel like putting out $97 for a nose bleed seat. Been upstairs at Sprint Center in section 210 once and SERIOUSLY, I felt light-headed. I HAD to move. It was horrible!
bubba, thanks for letting us all know that a band is required to be together for 20 years before anything can be considered a "reunion." i did not know that.
and i don't remember anything in this post about NKOTB, so why the angry rant? don't forget that tim once said that everyone has some guilty pleasures - and that some people's favorite music might be the stuff of nightmares to someone else.
do i enjoy NKOTB? no. but there are a lot of people who will be there because NKOTB songs were a big part of their life and it will be entertaining and fun to go experience that 'teenage joy' again.
Magnet The online version of "the bi-monthly, internationally distributed, glossy music magazine that gives well-deserved attention to musicians largely ignored by mainstream publications."
Metacritic Lots and lots of critics praise and bitch about music (and movies, DVDs, games, books and TV).
Paste "The premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music in whatever genre it might inhabit."
happy happy joy joy

I love Han Halen.
Also: Get Up Kids are NOT New Kids On The Block.
