Chris and Rich Robinson are the only returning members from any prior incarnation of the band. \u201cThat was the first thing Rich and I agreed on,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/black-crowes-chris-rich-robinson-reunion-910453\/\">Chris Robinson told <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/a> \u201cWe don\u2019t want anyone from the solo groups. We don\u2019t want anyone from the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They group broke up in early 2015 after years of acrimony. \u201cI love my brother and respect his talent,\u201d Rich Robinson said in a statement at the time, \u201cbut his present demand that I must give up my equal share of the band, and that our drummer for 28 years and original partner, Steve Gorman, relinquish 100% of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was actually their second breakup. They\u2019d previously split in 2002 and re-formed again three years later, touring heavily until early 2014. Here\u2019s video of them playing \u201cShe Talks to Angels\u201d at the Lockn\u2019 Festival on September 7th, 2013. By this point, Gorman was the only member of the original band, though bassist Sven Pipien had been around since 1997. Pipien played with Rich Robinson in his Black Crowes spinoff band the Magpie Salute, but he was one of many ex-Crowes left on the sidelines when the group re-formed.<\/p>\n<p>Gorman just published his tell-all memoir, <em>Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes,<\/em> and has been very vocal with his feelings about this reunion. \u201cIf people want to go hear <em>Shake Your Money Maker<\/em> in its entirety played by men in their fifties, then, by all means, go see it,\u201d he said the other day on <em>State of Amorica: A Black Crowes Podcast<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s perfectly fine if they wanna [do it] \u2014 I mean, they have every right to do it. And, again, I don\u2019t begrudge anybody that goes to see it, but it\u2019s sad \u2014 it\u2019s always gonna be sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Understandably, the Robinson brothers don\u2019t have much to say about Gorman\u2019s book. \u201cIt\u2019s in the past,\u201d Rich Robinson told <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cEveryone has a perspective.
