For KISS the reunion tour was the most successful tour of their career. The original members Ace and Peter stayed with the band for four years.

Was it disrespectful to Blaze Bayley when Bruce Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden, or to Ripper Owens when Rob Halford rejoined Judas Priest? No.

And if you read what I said, I was was talking about a tour and maybe an album with the "Fab 3" that Phil C. and Mikkey Dee can produce. Not that they should be kicked out from the band.


I don't understand why you want us Eddie and Philthy fans to shut up? I happen to like them and their style of playing, and for me a reunion tour/album would be a dream come true.

Phil Campbell is an excellent guitarist, but more metal than Eddie, who is more bluesey. Mikkey Dee is technically superiour to Philthy, but Philthy has a very personal style and follows the melody in his playing. And together with Lemmy they produce a sound that I love.

The old and the "new" Motorhead sound like totally different bands.

I don't want to take anything away from you. Phil and Mikkey would still be members. For me it's a dream to see and hear the "Fab 3" making noise together again, of only for a couple of months. It's my opinion and I hope you can respect it.


I can respect your wish's Patte but you mentioned Iron Maiden and Judas priest in your last post, slightly different situations to the motorhead thing y'know, and hey why stop at a Philthy Eddie reunion after that one why not get Robbo involved again !! Every body knows the change in sound different members bring to band dynamics but for me that's what keeps things fresh, it keeps things evolving, and even Lemmy has said he's not about to put the current line-up on hold for a nostalgia trip. And by the way I did read what you said and if you think that Phil and Mikkey would step back and sit it out while a different line up (that was around for a lot less time than the current one) was touring and maybe then do an album "Phil and Mikkey could produce"!! Your a bigger dreamer than I know you already are.
