Title: Abba to reunite/tour?
Post by corgi37 on Jan 4^th, 2011 at 9:22pm

There is talk about it. Doubt it will happen though. But if it does, the gays and middle aged, fat assed chicks who dance around their handbags at suburban discos will make it the most lucrative tour ever. I know they are not as massive in the U.S. as they were in Oz (who broke the band!) or Europe, but if it does happen, watch the Stones/U2 scattering to tour again, as their ticket gross records will be smashed!

Though personally, i think Abba might just do a 1 off massive show.

If the money is big, I'm sure they will reunite, by the way both Sid Vicious & Glen matlock were big Abba fans, & even "Pretty Vacant" was copied from the chorus of "SOS"
Glen Matlock has admitted that the chorus is ripped off from ABBA's "SOS". Sing along to hear it:

"Oh we're so pretty, oh so pretty - we're vay-cunt!"
"So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me, SOS"

"Glen was a closet ABBA fan, and funny enough, so was Sid. We got rid of one ABBA fan and got another in its place." - John Lydon

Brilliant song at any rate, hooky and sing-along-worthy but still in your face.

The money on offer has always been big - they reportedly turned down $1 BILLION for a 100-date tour in 2000.

Agnetha Faltskog choosing to remain a recluse for well over 20 years has been the main stumbling block. Reports are that she may be coming round to the idea.

Like Gazza said...They have been offered ONE BILLION dollars a few times...always to be turned down

Even if they don't get along...the tour would have been over a few years ago after the first initial offer...

I wonder if the GFC might have knocked their investments around a bit?
