ah hell... even Helmet

Oh god i miss them.... well TECHNICALLY (according to the band) they're still together but they are just nothing without Andy... He has a new project going on now btw, under the moniker "Ontronik" (you can hear some of his stuff at www.ontronik.com) but it's also just not the same as Apex Theory as a band... what I wouldn't give to have them back, man...

my own list:

The Smiths
Sunny Day Real Estate
Desparecidos
Norma Jean (in their original incarnation)
Killswitch Engage (see above)
Black Sabbath
Lynyrd Skynyrd (the shit under the same name right now is NOT lynyrd skynyrd, and shames the name of an amazing band)
The Pixies
At The Drive-In
Metallica (Post-Cliff is just not Metallica.)
Megadeth
Shai Halud

...and many more...

Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
The Doors
Nirvana
RATM
Sublime
Alice in Chains
Blind Melon

Big Sugar
and the Watchmen

Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention.
Aavant Gaardvark (Local band)
Fattie Deluxe and the Jolly Llamas (Another local band)
The Grateful Dead
The Lost Toy People (Thomas Dolby's backup band on Aliens Ate My Buick. Always thought he should do more with them.)
King Crimson's orignial and second lineups.
Corky and the Juice Pigs
Cake
Shadowfax
Van Halen (not the same w/o DLR)
The Boyd Tinsley Band (infinitely superior to the Dave Matthews band.)
The Allman Brothers (need Duane and Barry back.)
Fine Young Cannibals
The Police
801 (Roxy music sans Brian Ferry)
The Talking Heads

And of course:
Zeppelin, Floyd, The Clash, the Beatles, Queen, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Hm... I've never seen any implication that they've broken up...

I guess it was just a rumor, still, I haven't seen a new album or any sign of them touring, and I do miss that.

Serious answer this time, (although I really do miss Oingo Boingo).



Iron Maiden
Boston
Rush
Powerstation
Steely Dan

What? Soul Coughing only got one lousy mention so far?!? Well, make it two, now!

Search the web for their live version of "Michael Jackson". It'll change your world forevermore.

Oh, and I miss Sublime, which should be painfully obvious by now.

You named it all right there

Hit the nail on the head.
But I'd like to add Everclear. My personal odd choice of a favorite band.

They toured this past summer on the Unlimited Sunshine tour and their site announced a "secret concert" today i believe.

As to God of Thunder, Maiden are still together and strong. I saw them the other night live and they were incredible. Bruce disspelled the rumors of a breakup himself and said that they planned on continuing touring and recording so they showed no sign of being through.

Soundgarden
Johnny Cash
Elliot Smith
Alice in Chains
Portishead
Rage Against the Machine

Nirvana
Soundgarden
Rage (Although I like Audioslave too)
Alice In Chains
Stone Temple Pilots
Led Zepplin
Sublime


And last but not least....

HENDRIX

The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Queen
The Plastic Ono Band

One of my favorite bands ever:

The Dismemberment Plan

Their first two albums weren't all that great, but Emergency & I and Change were amazing. My sophmore year in college, I listened to Emergency & I for 6 months straight. (I listened to other artists too, but that was always in heavy rotation.)

Damn, everyone I would think to mention have already been mentioned.

Ones I especially miss are Pink Floyd (my favorite band ever!), RATM (one of the best shows I've ever seen),
Smashing Pumpkins,
The Ramones!!,
Greateful Dead,
Faith No More,
Soundgarden,
Alice In Chains,
Stabbing Westward,
The Clash!!!


A few not yet mentioned:
Snot
The Misfits (the real The Misfits, not that bad with the name now)
Kyuss (no one mentioned them yet?!?),
White Zombie (Rob solo is close, but not quite the same)


And I can't believe someone said HUM! A friend of mine was the original drummer for HUM, before he left and joined a jazz band with Ryan Martinie (Ryknow of Mudvayne). When that band broke up Ryan joined Mudvayne and Bailey joined another band that didn't make it. Ha-ha! That's funny.

high_way mentioned them

Blind Melon

and I am going to miss STP

Sorry, I just can't read. Uh, Good call then.:D

Shudder to Think
Jawbox
At The Drive-In
Gameface
The Original Misfits

The Clash
Rage Against the Machine
Nirvana
Pink Floyd
Sublime
Zepplin


Nirvana, Nirvana, aaand Nirvana!:(

Oh, Rage- thanks, Integra, I keep thinking of more.....
and Bob Marley and the Wailers

Smashing Pumpkins, most of all.

Nirvana
Rage Against The Machine
Sublime
The Clash
Pantera
The Ramones

Nirvana, RATM, Sublime, too many to list. Mostly because someone ODed.

the screaming trees - haven't heard that name in a long time, what did they sing?

Hum just played a couple of shows in August 2003, including a surprise appearance at Cowboy Monkey in Champaign IL. A friend of mine went and said that it was the sort of thing you tell yr grandkids about.

Others (besides the Pixies, who are touring this summer):

Nirvana (unlike a lot of other missed bands, they hadn't yet come close to reaching their full potential)
Beat Happening
Naked Raygun
Replacements
Faith No More
The Vaselines

Sublime
Smashing Pumpkins
RATM
Pantera

Pretty bummed that I never got to see any of them live, altohugh friends have said that Rage and Pantera put on killer shows.

i have 3 cds by them - uncle anesthesia, invisible lantern and dust and they are all REALLY good cds. my favourite song of theirs would have to be Butterfly though... just love it.

God of Thunder, Rush is still together! New amazing live DVD/CD release last year. Alex might have to serve 90 days in the pokey for his new year's eve altercation..... Although if you mean the original Rush with John Rutsey on drums, I pity you!

Boston (from the first three albums

I have to add Van Halen (Sammy Hagar version)

I think this thread is far more depressing then it was intended to be. I think I'm gonna go pull out my cds/mp3s and cry now....

I miss old-school Metallica, WHY LARS WHY?!?

REALLY!? That's awesome!

the doors
the clash
porno for pyros
led zeppelin
incubus (w/ dirk lance...now w/o him thier grooves are gone)
box car racer

the movielife
fenix tx
glassjaw
the anniversary
american football

lost more that i can't think of right now. . .

...rumors spread quickly on the net, eh....

directly from justin beck, glassjaw's guitarist, in an e-mail to the administrator of glassjaw.net. the breakup is a stupid rumor.

Zeppelin.
Rage Against the Machine.

nirvana of course
and id also give almost all i have to see jimi hendrix

Smashing Pumpkins
Videodrone
ratm
a perfect circle with paz as a member (for violin)
korn - they mayaswell be broken up, i refuse to listen to their new shit
pink floyd
zeppelin

Yeah, I just read that. But I also read an interview with Brian from Brand New in which he said he was told personally that there was no more gj. . .

definately RATM

a personal letter from beck that is very recent is much more reliable than a dated statement from someone in another band (and yes i know todd from gj worked with them in the past but it is still not direct)

I didn't start listening to Nirvana until after...but I miss them.

The KINKS............ Innovative, lyric driven, and never ever predictable

Van Halen............. Diver Down was a perfect album, Eddie's guitar and Alex's drums with Diamond Dave just can't be touched

Shakespear's Sister............ Siobhan Fahey and Marcy Levy were not only HOT but 2 women that really could knock your socks off with thier vocals and lyrics

Heart.............. Ann and Nancy Wilson had the lyrics, voice and the guitar to put many male bands to shame

The MOODY BLUES........ what more needs said there

and of course the Police, Bruce Springsteen, REM, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Poison, Chuck Barry, and of course the late greats Roy Orbison, George Harrison, DEAN MARTIN AND FRANKIE "OLD BLUE EYES" SINATRA.

Oingo Boingo

Pitchshifter..I fucking miss Stabbing Westward all the time...

I'll see the past two mentions of Soul Coughing and raise them a Ben Folds Five and Luscious Jackson. All three broke up in the same year. That sucked.

ZAPPA!!!

and...yeah...ZAPPA!

Nirvana kept makin music until the end, just think of what else we could have if Kurt was still around.
