Look, I really love MBV, and I'm not trying to be one of those "hipper than thou" people, but are there really that many people that would care about an MBV reunion. I mean really care, not care about it because all the hipster media cares about it? I'm very into the idea of people caring about MBV, it just seems to me like MBV fans have always been kind of a small club.</p> <p>@Dippinkind. As a drummer, I say pishaw to your hypothesis. I'd also add with a band like MBV that people tend to really be into, people would notice if it wasn't Colm on the kit. Dude was actually a good drummer, if you ever get a chance to see some vintage footage, he brought a lot to the live shows. Of course, on the recordings, might as well have been a drum machine.</p> OK, ok, ok.

Otherwise, you don't really see them very well back there anyway and there are tons of perfectly good drummers out there that could be plugged in and you couldn't tell the difference. With MBV, if they hadn't mentioned that it was a different drummer, how many people would have even known?</P> the only times when a drummer isn’t somewhat replaceable are a) When they’re a recognizable personality like Ringo or Keith Moon, b) when they’re also the singer, like with the Romantics, or c) when their unique style is a big part of the band’s sound/image – again Keith Moon springs to mind.
