The Black Crowes to reunite
 

Chris and Rich are in Nashville assembling a new lineup of TBC for a tour next year.

No Steve (obviously, if you read his book), no Marc, no Sven...

Sounds like CR, RR, Adam, and Tony Leone on drums. I'd wager a bet Andy Hess will play bass since Sven wasn't invited...but who will play lead guitar? Audley? Benji Shanks?

Weird, wild times we are living in...

So which original members are left besides Chris?

Either way I’m looking forward to whatever’s going on, there’s a clear need for a band like this right now... these guys were a jukebox mainstay for me back in the day

Really, just Chris and Rich, the brothers. Steve is out, will probably never come back after the book he wrote...Sven and Marc are out after joining Rich in The Magpie Salute...Adam is on keys, he played on the Warpaint, Before the Frost Until The Freeze, Croweology, and Wiser For the Time albums (as well as being Chris's keyboard player in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood - and Tony Leone was CRB's drummer, as well). Don't know who's playing bass or lead guitar for sure...there will be an official announcement here in a few weeks, I'm hearing November, we'll probably find out the lineup then.
Safe to say it will be a weird hybrid of the Brothers with a couple of latter day members and CRB holdovers.

I'd rather Steve, Marc, and Sven come back, but...

Getchya some :

What was in the book Steve wrote?

Thought the brothers wouldn't reconcile, apparently they've never liked each other much. Good news though.

They make a LOT more money together as "The Black Crowes" than they do with CRB or The Magpie Salute

Among recollections of disputes and violent episodes, Gorman described Rich’s brother, singer Chris Robinson as “the angriest person I’ve ever known.” He recalled an incident when Howard Stern asked the Crowes to play his 60th birthday party in 2014, and the band proposed to perform for free to thank Stern for his support during its early years. “‘'**** Howard Stern. I don’t owe that mother****er anything,’ he said, according to Gorman, who claims the singer wanted $150,000 personally to do the gig. He didn’t get it, and he forbade his bandmates from playing it without him.”

The report also noted that Gorman had “dreamed” of leaving the band before it finally broke up in 2015. “Chris wanted 75 percent of all the band’s income. That was quite an upgrade from the 33 1/3 percent share he had been receiving,” the drummer wrote, adding that he refused the suggestion of becoming a salaried employee of the band he helped form. “And that was the end of the Black Crowes.”

It's simply one of the best RnR books I've ever read (not to go all Ubeja on you, but I've read a lot of 'em).

The exchange between Ed and Sting at some festival in Europe had me in stitches, but the funniest part may have been at the 1992 MTV VMAs, where Kurt and Courtney Love pissed off Axl Rose and Axl wanted to beat Cobain's ass for mocking him :

Axl : "You better shut your bitch up!"
Kurt, turns to Courtney : "Shut up, bitch."
Axl seeths with anger.

So Axl says he's going to beat Cobain's ass. MTV producers are worried, Nirvana and GNR crew are worried...and The Black Crowes' trailer is right in between Nirvana and GNR's backstage.

Gorman walks out of the trailer : "I just want to let all you assholes know that the Black Crowes are ready to fight GN'R and Nirvana, RIGHT ****ING NOW."

Marc Ford is sitting outside as Kurt and Courtney walk by, and drawls, "awwww, well he's just a little feller..."

Which Marc Ford, king of tossing off some of the most face melting guitar leads since Hendrix with the stone faced expression of someone reading a newspaper, has a dry, deadpan sense of humor, so to imagine him deadpanning that line at that moment...brought a few chuckles out of me, for sure.

Never got a chance to see them live (except for on video), will def be trying to make it to this tour if they come near me!

So, Live Nation has upped their offer IF reunion has Gorman.

Gorman has demanded that Marc and Sven be involved, as well as Amy and Pete.

The new lineup that RR & CR have been rehearsing/auditioning in Nashville supposedly heard about this and walked out.

The drama never stops with these guys...GO CHIEFS!

I bet it's twice as hard
As it was the first time
They said goodbye

I can not BELIEVE it took that long for that post. SMH
