STOP THE REUNIONS: now Creed wants in
And 2008 was forever remembered as the year of reunions and reunion speculations. After years without some of our favorite and not-so-favorite groups, the storm passed, the sky opened up, and God shouted “Let there be reunions!” Soon enough, every band that ever disbanded conspired to rejoin forces for a reunion tour/album. Music bloggers were not happy.

Yep, if there were ever a year for reunion speculations, it’s safe to say that it’d be 2008. Especially since Creed is thinking of hopping on board for a 2009 tour. 
Ok, so maybe imitating the bible is a bit over the top, but honestly people, could there be any more fucking reunions? I’ve just gotten over the idea of The Jesus Lizard and now we’ve got Creed on our hands. I mean, seriously, Creed? Scott Stapp and co. haven’t performed a show together since 2004, not that that’s such an awful thing, but sources tell Billboard that a tour in 2009 is imminent. Stapp is apparently in top mental and physical condition and ready to get back together with guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and original bassist Brian Marshall.
Not only is Creed looking at getting back together for a lucrative world tour, but this is all a result of one of 2008’s other tour speculations. Remember that band Led Zeppelin? Well in case you’re not up on your Creed history (n00bs), after the group ceased to be in 2004 the aforementioned members promptly formed Alter Bridge, scouting vocalist Myles Kennedy. Now here’s the tricky part. Zeppelin is looking at touring Plant-less and using Kennedy as his replacement (WTF!?). Assuming Kennedy takes the position, now these Alter Bridge folks will have the opportunity to team up with their old pal Scott and everybody is happy.
So essentially Led Zeppelin is responsible for all of this. Way to go.The only thing that could make this situation better is if both this Plant-less Zeppelin and Creed headline Coachella…
Now, for effect, I will list every reunion and reunion speculation we have reported during the year that was and continues to be 2008:

Whew . . . My fingers/brain/thought processes hurt. I mean honestly, stop already! We don’t even care anymore. You know what, Creed, have your stupid reunion, but that’s it! Play Coachella and tour the world, and then stop! No more, people. Enough is e-fucking-nough.
even better, they should tour with nickelback then have their tour busses explode.
they should tour with Nickelback so we can avoid all of the crappy “rock” in our cities at the same time.
haha, I hear that.
What we need is a Pavement reuinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
