Show of Hands

Didn't the Eagles break up? Well they are touring AGAIN.

I tend to believe them. The stresses of performing and touring probably wear them down and make them tired of the whole thing after a while. I'm actually surprised a lot of bands stay together as long as they do.

John Tavares only signed a contract with Toronto because he intends on coming back.

How many reunion and "last tours" bands seem to have. 💰💰💰

Everything is a conspiracy nowadays

Arthritis plays a big role.

Okay, so is anyone else totally stoked about the MCR reunion?

Their last studio recording was "Fake Your Death," so I kinda saw something like this coming, but once Gerard Way took on The Umbrella Academy with Neflix, I figured he'd stay busy with that, but then he collaborated with Ray Toro for some of the show's music.....

Speaking as a musician myself, the hardest thing about being in a band is keeping it from breaking up. Especially if you are touring all the time and getting on eachother's nerves.

I think you get some bands.....ie-Creedence or Oasis.....where the band members hate each other and you know they are done. Others I think get burned out.....and need a break. Years later they may come back to it after they are refreshed. My father in law played in a touring band for over a decade. They split up for about 25 years and pursued real careers. They got back together about 10 years ago.....now that they have more time....and play a few gigs a year....mostly for fun.

Most of the time, in the friendly breakup, I see the members wanting to branch out to other musical (or otherwise) interests. It doesn’t mean they aren’t still friends, but just not an active band.
If it isn’t a friendly breakup & they get back together, I see it as a sum was more of the parts. They don’t have the success or don’t feel as whole apart. One member may convince the rest to get back together to get that old feeling back...or maybe because he blew his money on stupid shit & still needs to afford the lifestyle.
