Should (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1543106/20061013/sunny_day_real_estate.jhtml?headlin es=true) Sunny Day Real Estate (http://www.absolutepunk.net/sunnydayrealestate) reunite? That's the question MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1543106/20061013/sunny_day_real_estate.jhtml?headlin es=true) is asking.

[TgE ARTdamage]

hahahahahaha

fuck mtv.

although, i would like to see a sunny day reunion tour...

[pcrizz]

mtv knows who they are?

[X__inhope]

yes they should

[ACA]

Texas Is The Reason for two days
Lifetime for ... ?
Gorilla Biscuits ...

SDRE next?

Regardless, this won't get half the attention a thread about Panic!'s frontman's chest would gain.

Sadly.

no way. its over and done with. They ran their course and released some awesome albums and influenced a lot of musicians and were very important in their time. But that was then and this is now. A reunion show would be cool though. But I just don't think any good would come out of it. It's just emo hype and it would be fleeting. I just don't think they could possible re-create what they accomplished in the past. But thats just my opinion I guess. It'd be like if Rites of Spring just decided to go on a full U.S. tour or if Ian got Minor Threat back together. It won't be the same. Not say that if they did get back together, I wouldn't fucking drive a thousand miles just to see them. They deserve to be praised for the art they created but I feel like it should be left at that.

[Melissa Johnson]

A SDRE reunion would be amazing.

[mybreakingpoint]

i would love a Sunny Day reunion tour.

or a TITR one.

or an ATDI.

or a Northstar one.

or a Movielife one.

my list could go on and on and on...

:) i don't care what people say, and i could honestly care less about the intentions of it, but i think reunion tours are amazing things. i have yet to go to a reunion show for any band, but I hope i'll get the oppurtunity eventually. especially if it's one of any of those ^ bands. or old Taking Back Sunday, etc. :D

As much as you are right... I think they would go over even better now. If MTV, who holds the power amongst the majority of idiots who know little to nothing about music, hosted a show or even advertised SDRE, then everyone (the people who judge music solely on whether or not its on MTV) would love SDRE.

Props to them if they could pull it together.

Good point though.. it wont be the same to people who know them... but everyone else who knows MTV will all of a sudden be #1 fans.

[WeDreamOfDays]

I would seriously pay a ridiculous amount of money to see this. They are an amazing, amazing revolutionary band.

oh yea I don't doubt that they would be HUGE. MTV and the music industry would be jumping all over it. And yea...if they could create another amazing album...then that would be insanely great.

I dunno, my opinion is a pretty selfish one. I just think that what made them great back then was how special it seemed because they were this phenomenal band who was doing something pretty damn new that nobody had heard of. I mean I wasn't there at that point in my life, but it must have been really exciting. I don't know...it would just seem a little less sincere.

Yea despite my opinions on it, I would kill to see them play. If only once. Which is why I think a reunion tour would be awesome.

[CWeezer2]

uhmmm how bout YES.

[Beyondclarity]

I'm ALL for seeing SDRE again.

[Neptune]

is it funny that a thread about kevin federline in a wrestling match has near twice the amount of replies as this thread?

[Saves The Night]

id love for them to get back together...i love me some sunny day real estate!

all of those would be sweet!

[hm101]

yes

[70x7]

I'm not a big fan of reunion tours. Granted, the Braid tour was awesome, but I'm against them in general. When bands do it, everything seems different. I think it's stupid for bands to get together if it's for money. If they are doing it because they loved what the did, I don't want to see them playing some massive venue with fancy stuff all around, catering to a bunch of kids who only like them now because their favorite band liked them then. I never saw Sunny Day Real Estate play live, but if I were a long time fan of the band who was into them back in the 90's, I'd be bummed out to go see a reunion show where several hundred young teenagers are there telling members of the band how hot they are. I mean, I'd rather somebody like them tour than a more recent band like Northstar tour. Northstar toured non-stop up until the last year or two. If you missed them then, you blew your chance. For as big of boners as people seem to have for them, I never saw them play to more than 100 people. Another example is Lifetime. It used to be cool and unique to see Lifetime, because very few people under a certain age ever did. And to those people Lifetime meant a lot too. Now, every fat kid in Hot Topic's nationwide has seen them, and they seem to have lost some of that romanticism and mystique.

Should (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1543106/20061013/sunny_day_real_estate.jhtml?headlin es=true) Sunny Day Real Estate (http://www.absolutepunk.net/sunnydayrealestate) reunite? That's the question MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1543106/20061013/sunny_day_real_estate.jhtml?headlin es=true) is asking.

great band, but no.

[buysoap]

i'm not sure if i'd want them to reunite or not

[Rufio21]

only if they were playing to me and 100 other people. That way I could ensure they were doing it for the music.

[catscradle]

did anybody else not find this amusing when you read this?

"There was one kid who just started shaking uncontrollably, freaking out."

[chokeychicken]

listen, why dont all these bands just get their shit together, and we have one big fucking tour of every band anybody has ever wanted to see live, but missed their chance:

the movielife, northstar, original taking back sunday, texas is the reason, sunny day real estate, the get up kids.

headliners: the smiths.

tour of the century. bingo.

[chokeychicken]

"There was one kid who just started shaking uncontrollably, freaking out."

i don't. because when i saw the get up kids pay their last song after driving halfway across the country, that's exactly what i started doing.

music means things to people. its tied to their life and the events that compose it. sometimes, that leads to extreme emotions. and they don't seem extreme to you because you aren't apart of it.

[a speedo model]

i'd be a happy camper

[thesynapse]

Just for one show but YES PLEASE. However, I'd rather have The Movielife get back together first.

[Brianfarg]

Every time I hear "Seven" or "In Circles" I get chills. Seeing this band live would be great.

[JWS1986]

it would kick 4...no... make it 5 different levals of ass if they got back together.... though im still down with Jeremy's solo shit and The Fire Theft.... so im good if they do or if they dont... it doesnt take much more than Jeremy to make a Sunny Day album ... same can be said about the Smashing Pumpkins and Billy... im rambling now... sorry..

The Movielife, Northstar, Original Taking Back Sunday, and The Get Up Kids haven't been gone that long. A reunion of those bands wouldn't be that special. Not saying I wouldn't go see The Get Up Kids, but it just wouldn't mean as much.
I love the fact that The Smiths refuse to get back together. They respect their music and the fact that they were a BAND, not just random people coming together to make music. No amount of money will take away the pride of standing by what they believe. That said, I don't know what I wouldn't give to see them live. Seeing Morrissey this winter will have to do for now.

Wrong, if it's not James Iha in the Smashing Pumpkins, it's not the Smashing Pumpkins. Granted, same can be said for Billy because he is the voice, but without James Iha in, it's not the same.

[Moatilliatta085]

I understand what some ppl are saying about how it'd be weird to have the general FOB audience go to a SDRE show....that whole elitist/exclusive mentalitiy.....but honestly if they were to do it because they WANT to, they should, and give us the chance of seeing them for once. It'd be AWESOME.
What would be better? If Mineral co-headlined!!!!!!

[mybreakingpoint]

all of those would be sweet!

heyyy, i like your thinkin' ;) :D

i can't imagine how amazing it would be for any of those bands to get back together

i'm still waiting for word on Name Taken getting back together, wasn't that supposed to be happening? if it still is, when?

[keanebeats]

hells yeah they should get back together

[Julia Conny]

Obviously, yes. But of course, it wouldn't be anywhere within driving range.

[BruisedxBroken]

MTV has no business asking that question...

and although SDRE were once a great band, I don't think a reunion tour is necessary...

[tommyhaych]

If they did reunite, I wouldn't be happy knowing that it was because of MTV.

It'd be like getting back together with your horrible ex-girlfriend just to star in a porno flick.

Same with if The Movielife reunited because all the fans want them to, not because of how THEY feel. Doing it because of MTV would be 10000x worse.

[TheBaroness]

as much as I absolutely adore this band, and the material they released following their first reformation, I think another reunion (permanent, not just a few shows) would be a mistake. I believe they accomplished everything they could at the time as a band, and I don't want to see them tarnish that by reforming and releasing a potentially sub-par album. Furthermore, I believe that the projects the members are currently involved in warrant continuence - The Fire Theft, Jeremy's solo stuff etc. - to suspend them any further would be, I believe, a mistake. By not being SDRE the members have a certain creative flexibility (in terms of not having to conform to the SDRE 'sound') and I would like to see them explore these possibilities.

Of course, the other reason I'm not keen to see them reunite is because I would slit my writsts for missing their shows. damn geography.

[Tristan Needler]

it would be incredible to see them live, i would love if they had another tour. and they'd better play seven and pillars hahaha.

but i don't think they could really do another album. i mean they could, and it would be great, but it's not really necessary, it would just be the same kind of thing as jeremy's new cd. no real use for it. but i really would love to see them live, that would be fantastic.

hahaha, sunny day real estate didn't even conform with the sunny day real estate "sound."

and to the guy who mentioned mineral co-headlining, hahaha that would be amazing. and yeah, it would suck if they reunited for the wrong reasons, i wouldn't like that at all. but if they did it because they wanted to, that would be awesome.

[eastcoast-fu]

The last time they reunited they blew it. So no.

[kylelation]

hell yes! they did help the emo genre of music quite a bit

[Chris Fallon]

Yeah, that'd be rad. I'd love to have the chance to see them live (even though I already have, but was stupid and naive, and didn't take the opportunity).
