Afghan Whigs on Their Reunion Tour, Broken Promises

When Rolling Stone spoke with Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli a few months ago, he said the band's reunion tour wouldn't involve new music. But since then, they've released a cover of Marnie "Quenie" Lyons' "See and Don't See" for free on their website. Dulli has a simple explanation for his change of heart. "I also said I'd never play with this band again. As far as making grand pronouncements about anything in my life, I'm never going to do that again," Dulli said during a visit to the Rolling Stone studio last week – just a few days the Afghan Whigs made their triumpha

Unbelievable! Just saw these guys perform opening night at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and they blew everyones minds. One of the greatest bands ever and a remarkable night of music.

That man has a wicked smile.

Really glad Greg Dulli came to this place in his life where he could choose--and all of them could choose--to tour again on these songs, which hold up so incredibly. Just saw them in Chapel Hill--Carrboro, actually--last night. AMAZING.

Dulli could never be mistaken for a hippy.

@brirags right?! I was there and now I'm obsessing over all of it. They definitely blew my mind!! F'n AMAZING!

Kill me. No one should have this much charisma. Boy is blessed.

Agreed, in interviews & LIVE gigs from 1988 - 1992 Dulli looked GREAT! He looks even better NOW than during the entirety of the mid-'90s until this year! View their LIVE set at 'Austin City Limits Music Festival' in 09.12. Greg & John Curley LOOK as though they've been eating healthy, working-out quite a bit, and no longer smoking or drinking (which he SHOULD HAVE *NEVER* been doing since he's suffered at least moderate 'Bi-Polar Disorder' for a long time, well before his diagnosis in '98). : )

There's absolutely NOTHING WRONG with Hippies; they would last a hell of a lot longer and ENJOY doing so...and almost anything elese, than most urbanites without the mod-cons of urbania! : )
