The Most Badass (And Most Disappointing) Band Reunions

Some acts are better left disbanded.

It would be lovely if every band could just get along and create that special sound forever. Realistically, we know how hard it is for any group of creative people to stay on a unified creative path (but we secretly love that breakup drama). Sometimes they break up over a specific song, personality clashes, or they met as teenagers and they’re just growing apart. That’s all pretty reasonable, but it didn’t stop us from crying our eyes out, begging for a day where we could see them again.

Then… It happened. They had their fun with their side projects, but it was time to get the ol’ band back together. Unless former members were completely disowned, they reunited for a tour, and maybe even a new album! Fans everywhere were thrilled, and as you’ll see, sometimes they were more than satisfied, and sometimes they were more than certain the end was really the end. Here’s a mixed bag of completely badass and completely disappointing band reunions.
