berlin, frankie goes to hollywood, kajagoogoo, extreme, klymaxx, and three others i forgot will be reunited. this show is set to air nightly at 10 o'clock i think for the next two weeks. the premise is supposed to be "now that their back together can they still play the jams?" ought to be interesting I definately would like to see romeo void, dramarama, and frankie goes to hollywood back together to perform.

REALLY looking forward to Berlin. Kajagoogoo, Frankie, Dramarama & Romeo Void will be fun too. Finally a reason to turn on VH1.

I just watched this show & did not understand the point of reuniting Berlin if we weren't going to actually get to see them play. The 'tracking them down' part was great & so was watching them rehearse & get together after so long & reminisce... but to no

I watched it too.
I guess the format of this VH-1 "Reality Series" is focused on the "Drama" of the whole Track down & re-unite part of the show.
.. Perhaps because many of the artists in this re-unite series are what VH-1 (not me), would consider

It was posted on some Flock of Seagulls board that the bands were not playing full concerts but just a few songs for the tv show. Hence the bands didn't even play full sets, and probably didn't even rehearse full sets of material.

Yes, shortend sets.
What I Think Bhols was trying to say was that if you saw the special, They didn't even show 1 full song from that small set.

I'm looking very forward to this evening's episode being Romeo Void. This past decade I've always brought them up within conversations concerning bands that should get back together yet at the same time thinking it would never, ever happen. Thought the sa

In my opinion that the most anticpated reunion for any modern rock/new wave band is "The Smiths". I believe there was even a book and/or movie (fictional) written about it.

My beef was they found it necessary to splice interview bits during the songs, and have the old video lip-synced along side it. Come on, just play it!
