I know what you mean, but it does seem like fans do create a lot of weird little rules for these cats, who probably just dig going out there 'n' performing and don't want to stop. I s'pose there is something a bit seedy about exploiting the cache of an old band name. Also I wonder what's worse...the session drummer for that one Styx b-side going out and performing their greatest hits, or busting Jazz Odysseys on an unsuspecting public. Probably best to play it by ear than abide by a blanket rule like that. I know elegant_chaos, for example, has been a one man Post-Punk reformation institution and nailed it every time.
