SUMMER ’08 IS THE SUMMER OF THE REUNION; PRETTY BOY FLOYD JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON

If you thought 2007 was a reunion-happy year with the likes of Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath / Dio (Heaven and Hell), The Police, Testament and The Smashing Pumpkins all getting back together for another go-round, wait until you see the crop of bands padding their retirement funds getting back together for the love of the music, man, in 2008. By our tally, the list so far includes the following:

• At the Gates
• Carcass
• Stone Temple Pilots
• Sex Pistols
• Biohazard
• Warrant

And now, in a slightly less headline-grabbing announcement, Pretty Boy Floyd will hit the road with all four original members for the first time in 17 years. Well, we know of at least one person who will be REALLY excited to hear this news. What’s next, will both versions of L.A. Guns kiss and make up in time for Rocklahoma for one big, bad, super 14-member extravaganza?
