Because it doesn't sell. Lots of new 80s style bands here on the sunset strip. They're too busy partying and getting laid, but none have found riches. Real money is in reunion tours, playing to middle aged people. Even if they bastardize the original band by having only one original member, playing crappy new songs no one wants to hear, being bald, fat, etc. It's all about the nostalgia and the music baby!
btw: Rocklahoma 2 is this year. Buy your tix now. I'd love to see Twisted Sister. Rest of the bands, eh.
