Booted Out, Only To Form A Copycat Band.The Magpie Salute -- ex Black Crowes. Nope. You meant to post As The Crow Flies. Magpie Salute was accused of being a copy cat act by Chris Robinson but only because he didn't get the whole story. Magpie is a REAL project. They just finished recording an album of originals and ready to tour with that this summer. Chris? HE is doing the As The Crow Flies Project, a vastly inferior copy-cat attempt at Black Crowes magic. It's dreadful. Magpie definitely played Crowes songs during their shows last year but also played originals by Marc and Rich AND added a ton of other covers from other bands. Plus, Rich opts for DEEP Crowes cuts. What does Chris do? She Talks To Angels. [Mod: unnecessary slight to the artist removed]

Weren't the Black Crowes a copycat band to begin with?

Weren't the Black Crowes a copycat band to begin with? Yes. And not a very good one at that, IMO.

I absolutely hate these stories of these bands that continue on the road with one or zero original members. What the hell is the point and why do people pay good money to see these shows? I'll never ever understand. I'd rather stay home and listen to those original records. It's looking like Journey is headed in this direction as well. Neil may be getting forced out for some reason.

This miserable prick doesn't get enough grief here, though it's probably better that he's ignored here as well as Shiteville.

POLL: The Black Crowes or The Robinson BrothersI've been reading a lot of posts here and on Facebook about whether or not this should be called a Black Crowes reunion or not and it's very divisive. Is it fair to call this a Black Crowes reunion with JUST the brothers, or do you need past band members. I personally feel that this is a cash grab and nothing more and not a legitimate BAND reunion. So what say you? The one positive thing you can say is that their fans are passionate. Just the Robinson Bothers [sic] does not The Black Crowes make. Legally, it's The Black Crowes. Morally, it's The Robinson Brothers. It's the Robinson Brothers to me, unless they put out some new music worthy of the Black Crowes. There’s a division in The Black Crowes fanbase? No ****ing way Also. No ****ing way is it The Black Crowes. No, it's not The Black Crowes as long as it excludes every other past member whose name isn't Robinson. It'd be one thing if they were all dead, but that's not the case. I'm sick of all this bitching, too. I've been recently getting back into the band's catalog and for me, this is great news and likely the highlight of the Budweiser Stage's concert line up next summer. This latest "reunion" is strictly a truce between the brothers to do something with the brand name to generate some cash flow. On Stern's show, Chris redacted the comments he had made a couple of years prior in regards to his kinship with his brother and the burying of the Black Crowes entity and nine times out of ten, when there was a problem within the band, usually it was always drawn back to Chris' attitude and demeanor whether between his brother or another band member, but usually the problems pointed in Chris' direction. Losing Neal Casal within Chris' Brotherhood solo project was a huge blow and perhaps death has shaken Chris up a bit with Neal's passing, coupled with the brothers' father, Stan having passed some time ago also, maybe rattled something in his head that he should try yo mend fences with his brother and it dawned on him that this "Black Crowes" thing is bigger than the two of them. The only thing that dumbfounds me about this latest lineup for these gigs is the blatant disregard of any key faces such as drummer Steve Gorman. Now when they reunited in '05, it DID take a few months before Steve was coaxed back into rejoining, which thankfully, he did, but calling it The Black Crowes for these Bowery gigs is a completely different approach to reunions of the past. For example, when they last toured in 2013, they did have another guitarist in Jackie Greene, but the rhythm section remained(Sven Pipien and Steve Gorman) as had in past formations. And the keyboard spot remained fulfilled by Harsh replacement Adam MacDougal; this latest philosophy doesn't follow the trend of reformations from the past, which is a bit odd, imo. That band is not the Black Crowes. It’s the Robinsons maximizing their income. Speaking of money though -it is a shame Rich kind of sidelined Marc and Sven and Magpie and didn't include them in this reunion! I can only imagine how they feel putting out an album they are proud of, only to get the surprise that they will not tour behind it because Rich is going back to the band they were also a part of and hiring other random people instead of them to save money lol That is why I am in the "Robinson brothers" as opposed to "legitimate band" camp, when things are not driven by a creative collective but monetary decisions that are of dubious nature, it ceases to be a "band" and more of a hired hand backing band thing I'm still of the opinion that it's not really the BC's with just two original members and a whole passel of previous partners being ignored. I totally agree I know there were lineup changes over the years before the breakup as well. But to me there is a difference between replacing a member while keeping it mostly in tact - and hiring ALL new random people with no connection to any of the Crowes' past When you ask any of them "where were you when _ was written", and none of them can answer it, it is no longer a band. It is a backing band of hired hands, branding or not it is not the same band Hardcore, long-time Crowes fan here. They should not be calling this a Black Crowes reunion. Learning to tolerate your brother to earn a few million dollars, whilst also sacking the rest of your bandmates of 30 years so you can replace them with compliant cheap Yes Men isn't "reforming" a band. It's a cynical commercial enterprise nobody really wanted apart from the brothers financial advisers. I guess they think because The Who & Queen are now a duo, they qualify to do the same and take all the loot. The big difference is every classic Crow apart from Harche is still alive which makes it even more distasteful.

Takes all kinds, but a dude with the user name "Nick Drake Fan" being a hardcore Crowes fan made me laugh.

Aren't these the same assholes who love Townshend/Daltrey still touring as the Who? And whatever bullshit lineup calling itself the Beach Boys? To get ShiTey on topic, the Robinsons are the Crowes, nobody pays to see Steve Gormon or Sven Penis anyway.

The obsession with ex-band members kills me. No Stan Lynch! No sale! It’s not Van Halen without Michael Anthony! Was Pete Best that bad?

These ten SHites have got to be the only ten people in the world who even remember the Black Crowes. I find it hard to imagine that there will be much "loot" to be "taken" from this. I can imagine a lot of cancelled shows, though. Maybe I just don't get out much, but I never hear anything about the Black Crowes outside of ShIteville.

I remember when the first album came out and it being a pretty big deal. It kind of bridged the gap between 70s southern rock and hair bands-if any such gap needed closing. Then they did that album cover with the pubic hair and caused controversy. Aside from touring with Jimmy Page, didn't they just kind of fade away? I thought the Black Crows were remembered as fondly as Spin Doctors but what do I know?

I remember seeing the cover of Amorica in the racks when I first started buying CDs and being mildly curious, but I’m fucked if I can even name a single Black Crowes song, let alone know what it sounds like.
