Create your own supergroup using the Velvet Revolver formula.

The Velvet Revolver formula = singer from washed up 90s band + washed up 80s band without singer + name that combines half the name of a canonical band with part of or all of the title of a canonical album. When the band performs live, they play songs from their album of originals, plus classic hits by the singer and the original band.

For example, the surviving members of INXS should give up on that reality show and start a new band called Midnight Nation with Gavin Rossdale. When they perform live, they should do "Never Tear Us Apart," "Suicide Blonde," "Need You Tonight," "Glycerine," and "Little Things."

To reverse the formula slightly, Huey Lewis should team up with the surviving members of Sublime. They would call themselves Madness Mondatta or something horrible like that.

Gavin Rossdale has a new band which the alt rock DJ described as sounding "like Bush after 15 Red Bulls". It was BAD.

Yeah, I know. Institute. Talking about them is actually what kickstarted this idea.

>members of Queen with chunky lead singer from Blues Traveler< they have actually been touring with ill machoist Paul Rodgers, of Bad Co.! (Once described by Simon Frith as "the meanest man in rock", but maybe they're mean too.)He didn't make them change the name though. Linda Perry joins Jefferson Airship next week(probably)!

- Robin Wilson (Gin Blossoms) and Extreme = Beach Calling... perform "Hey Jealousy" and "More than Words" (only extreme song that they play, though)

Henry Rollins/Alice In Chains--gasp Limahl/Nsync (hey)

― don, Saturday, 6 August 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

Eddie Vedder fronts Living Colour performing as Pink Station. They do a sick version of Alive going into Cult of Personality. (I think this would actually work quite well)

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 6 August 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

Trent Reznor w/ remaining 2/3 of Nirvanna as Sonic Lightning. Repertoire includes Head Like a Hole and Rape Me.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 6 August 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

I'd take the surviving members of The Doors, with the exception of John Densmore (cuz he seems whiny), and add Ian Astbury, the Native folklore lovin' frontman of The Cult.
And I'd call the result The Doors of the 21st Century.
Unless Densmore got a court order or something, and then I'd come up with some other name like D21.

― BanjoMania (Brilhante), Saturday, 6 August 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

A friend of mine met Ian Astbury recently, not knowing who he was - so he asked him, and he said "I'm the lead singer with The Doors"...and my friend's mate, who was a little stoned, actually said the words "I thought you were dead"...

BEST STORY EVER.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 6 August 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Absolutely.

The Shiny Happy Family- Momus fills the R.E.M. Bill Berry void on laptop percussion.

― k/l (Ken L), Saturday, 6 August 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

the surviving members of INXS should give up on that reality show and start a new band

...with Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett as the singer.

"You took their land, you've got the Devil Insiiiiiiiide! The Devil Insiiiiiide! Every single one of us the Devil Insiiiide!"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Saturday, 6 August 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

Rasterized = Bad Brains + Gwen Stefani filling in for H.R.

Setlist includes "D'yer Mak'er," selected works of 311.

OMG Lucy Pearl already almost won this one (Singer(s) from ToToTo and EnVogue + "band" from ATCQ, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Joplin's Pearl)

But we could always do Venus Zombies with dude from Crash Test Dummies fronting all remaining/living members of OMD, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm / Fascist Groove Thang" medley KILLS live

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 7 August 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

Wow... I was thinking of what Marcy Playground + Harvey Danger would sound like if they joined forces yesterday...

I think it was because I was looking at the tracklist for the original Now!

Acid Mothers Stone Temple Love Bone

I don't really know who all the members are, as I spend all my time at the show watching and waiting for the ash to fall off the end of Cotton Casino's cigarette.

― k/l (Ken L), Sunday, 7 August 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

Ed Kowalcyzk from Live + the surviving members of Big Country = The Unforgettable Faces. They might not actually play any Big Country songs, but they would certainly do "Lightning Crashes," "White, Discussion," "I Alone," and "Lakini's Juice."

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Monday, 8 August 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

The Shiny Happy Family- Momus fills the R.E.M. Bill Berry void on laptop percussion.

Let's try again.

The REMones- Tommy and Marky R sit up on the stage and alternate drumming duties, Jabo and Clyde Stubblefield style. During the Reckoning portion of the show, Marky takes "Harborcoat," but Tommy takes "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville."

― k/l (Ken L), Monday, 8 August 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

Courtney Love fronts Motley Crue, calling themselves "Scary Monsters".
(or "White Noise", or "Ragged Tiger").

T-Boz from TLC fronts the Beastie Boys. It's called "Rubber Soulstice".
