2. Did Jed The Fish announce U2 as the most energetic band of US Fest 83?

Me thinks nay.

3. I didn't even have to click on the link to know that's who it was going to be.

Well done. I'd love to see them get back together some day. (Especially since a good portion of them ARE back together already.)

5. Not going to happen

As much as I loved Boingo and saw them 25 plus times, I would bet money on them never doing a full reunion with Danny. He really could not care less. Which is fine. I still have my memories and records.

6. See, I never got to see them live.

I wish they would at least just release the full uncut "Farewell" show, which, as far as I know, none of the releases are (I believe the cassette, CD and VHS/DVD releases are all missing at least one different song).

7. No shit

That concert is over 3 hours long. I've heard from insiders that the second they were done filming they locked it away and only allowed Danny and Steve to edit it so the extra footage wouldn't leak.

8. So I assume you would be interested in the trombone position in our Oingo Boingo tribute band?

Granted, the entire band currently consists of myself on keyboards, and the bass player from my regular band. (He's a San Diego transplant.) He figures we'd have an exclusive market on the East Coast, and would only have to do a Halloween gig every year.

9. The opening line to Dead Man's Party is:

Edited on Thu Mar-12-09 03:03 PM by Symarip

Gflat Eflat Dflat x2, Bflat Dflat Eflat x2, Bflat Gflat F Eflat. The song is in Gflat with no accidentals.

Edited to add: this is the live version with the horn intro. Not the guitar intro on the studio version.

Sure, I'd love to. Easy money maker around Halloween.

4. But surely their best performance was at the greatest party, ever!
