Re: ELP Reunion

I know a few Moonies who gonna be very happy to read this news.
But : Are we happy to read they're inspirated of the all mighty Taliban ??
It's like reading they're inspirated by Hitler's army.

Well, they were tenacious... until , ya know, the world rose up and crushed the crap out of them. :


Lets hope the boys in ELP can put on a good show... and we won't need to rise up and crush the crap out of them.

Re: ELP Reunion

Not being an ELP fan, I was in no hurry to read that article, so I just now read it. It feels fake. It feels like a joke to me. If it is real, then the quotes have to be sarcastic. There's no way they were really influenced by the Taliban. Seems like a piece from The Onion.

It did seem a little wierd to me. Why would those guy's find a connection with somthing like that? Could do more to alienate than attract.

Well, I read that too. And I remember he couldn't do a tour because of that physical problem.
So, that reunion is must be a big joke. But maybe Keith only gonna use his feets on the keyboards ....

Re: ELP Reunion

I have to admit the article seems very suspicious, like its a spoof. Would love to see them together again. They are building a new web site, so maybe thats an indication that something is happening. Palmer is supposed to tour with Asia again in 2010. We will just have to see.

By the way, Keith is over his physical issues with his hand. He has been touring with his own band with no problems.

Re: ELP Reunion

I agree - after reading the article this may be another practical joke on all of us. The excuse that "the Taliban made me do it" seems off color. But then these guys have never been one for "coloring in the lines".

I think it would be great to hear these guys a gain..but I am not holding my breath just yet.
