I would prefer TD didn't spring a surprise of this nature at the Astoria. If they want to bring on a guest musician, let it be Johannes, or if they're really in the mood to shock, CF or PB!
you've got more chance of god turning up, besides Johannes said no, Chris said where's my lawyer and Peter just said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?
Awwwww! and I was so counting on a reunion!

I was only joking Colin. Sadly, it is unlikely we will ever see a reunion with CF or PB. I haven't given up hope of a guest performance by JS sometime over the next year, though!

Out of them all i certainly think IMHO that JS would be the most likely to appear somewhere in the future...........But even that is a small chance me thinks

I think EF may eventually persuade him. I think it really boils down to Johannes lack of belief in his ability to play in a live setting. You've only got to watch the Poland DVD, to see he should have no worries in this department.

I think it goes beyond that Mick,ive been told by a reliable source it is down to JS having a problem with his hearing,i understandably wont discuss that here

I'd still like to see it happen. Just to have him stand on the same stage again, would be a real treat!

If JS has a hearing problem this is terrible news, m only an amrtuer musician and my hearing was seriously altered in my teens when i thought it cool to play as loud as I could !. Along with three night stints of Motorhead !.

It didn't slow Beethoven down, but then he didn't have Motorhead to contend with!

No and I don't have Motorhead to contend with anymore, as I have now reached that milestone in maturity (40!) it seems only sensible to stop seeing them.
Mind you at the SBE 2005 gig my hearing was distorting !.

Faye couldn't hear for three days after SBE 2005. I had a slight ringing post gig, that wore off after 15 mins.
