    I also liked the Bauhaus reunions. The '98 reunion was hailed as better than their 80s
   performances, and the 2005 tour was even better than the '98 tour. IMO 
  however Peter mellowed his performance, Daniel Ash (w/bass backbone of David J) 
  more than made up for. His playing is superphenomenal live. 
     And Gang Of Four in 2005, tho' never saw 'em 1st time round, were better than any
   rock gig i've ever seen. Also, i've never seen a better channelling and incarnation of 
  the crowd's primal urges during the show.

    As for KJ, a true experiment, yay verily, a True experiment would be Geordie to 
  reunite with Big Paul and Youth to record a CD of what-ev-er-they-want.  
  [Jaz can only contribute on 2 tracks maximum, and only if he masters that Tibetan chanting style of singing more than 1 note at a time; chanting in fregkin' chords! Ha.]

    I dont believe in comebacks . Once bands have split up that should be final 
    .. The amount of bands who have made comebacks is phenomenal . There are only 
    two bands who I can think of who haven't made a comeback . The Jam and Crass 
    ..
    I suppose that band members get fed up with their mundane jobs and decide 
    to "get back on the road".
    I cant think of any band that has been better or made better music , 
    second time around .
