Jump The Shark?: Rock Star In Negotiations To Find New Frontman For... Van Halen!!!The guy they pick will undoubtedly turn out better than the guy from Exxxtreme. (Although Rest in Peace (aka Make Love, Not War) rocks.) CBS brings back its successful Rock Star: INXS for a second season, rumor has it the next band in line is California's Van Halen. Oh happy day. Now let's hear you jackasses knock the show for featuring a "has-been" band. Okay, so they are a little has-been. But they're, you know, f'n' Van Halen, aren't they? Can't wait -- CANNOT wait -- for Rock Star: Blind Melon. Thanks to Dr. Reo Symes. Thanks to zetetic for the correction on the "Rest in Peace" title. posted by Ace at 12:56 PM
Comments"Make Love, Not War?" I think you mean "Rest in Peace." Posted by: zetetic on October 20, 2005 01:01 PM
Yes I do, damnit. Hey, I know the name of the album at least. Not that I own it. Posted by: ace on October 20, 2005 01:05 PM
You know what would make this show so much better though, really? Actually have David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and Gary-What's-His-Name-Again? competing on the show, along with no-names that threaten their position. THAT would be frickin' hilarious. Cheers, P.S. Blind Melon would be good, but my money's on Journey. They'll need to find somebody to replace Steve Perry. Wait, what's that? Steve Perry already left? Than who's that guy who sounds JUST LIKE STEVE PERRY? Bizarre. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on October 20, 2005 01:09 PM
VH's manager says it's nonsense. (Scroll down a quarter of the way.) Posted by: Allah on October 20, 2005 01:16 PM
I'd pay to see Rock Star: Sublime. Of course, the show would just be a continuous series of bleeps. Posted by: Matt on October 20, 2005 01:21 PM
I'm dubious... Sorry to sound like such a fanboy, but Eddie Van Halen would never go for this. This rumor is pretty stale too... If monkey do fly out of my butt, however, my website going to turn into ROCK STAR Central. Posted by: TF6S on October 20, 2005 02:14 PM
Everybody is missing the big picture here. Why settle for replacing 1 band member when you could replace two or more? I present to you: Rock Star- The Beatles. McCartney, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia Harrison act as celebrity judges as contestants vie for the open seats of John and George, and their chance to join the BIGGEST BAND EVAH!!! Couldn't you see it? The winner gets the Lennon spot (and a chance to write songs with Paul), the 2cd place finisher gets the Harrison spot, and gets to play guitar in relative anonymity. And Ringo finally gets a steady gig again. I'd watch. Posted by: Jack M. on October 20, 2005 02:21 PM
Hmmm, I'd bet the winner would think they'd have to take Yoko... In that case, no one will sign up... Posted by: TF6S on October 20, 2005 02:25 PM
And, of course Jack, immediately after the band gets together, Yoko breaks them up again. C*nt. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on October 20, 2005 02:33 PM
Yep, but with fan voting they would essentally be stuck sabotaging their own chances, lol. Or angling to finish second. It would be sort of funny to watch a reality TV show where all the contestants wanted to finish second. Posted by: Jack M. on October 20, 2005 02:34 PM
Or, maybe we could have a show where the audience votes on which band Yoko should "insert" herself into to break-up. I vote for Cold Play... Posted by: TF6S on October 20, 2005 02:45 PM
Hmm...Coldplay is a good pick. I think I'd vote for the Rolling Stones, though. Let Yoko then be known for breaking up the two biggest bands of all time. Posted by: Jack M. on October 20, 2005 02:58 PM
But they're, you know, f'n' Van Halen, aren't they? They haven't been f'n' Van Halen for about 21 years now. Posted by: Alex on October 20, 2005 03:09 PM
I question the timing. Oh, wait, wrong thread. I think I still beat Dave to it though. ;^) I'm waiting for them to make Klesmer Star: The Kaballa Bums, where a has-been Jewish Klesmer band is in search of a new screech clarinetist. Now THAT would f-ing ROCK MAN! Posted by: Scot on October 20, 2005 03:19 PM
Don't Stone Temple Pilots need a new singer/songwriter too? I know the current one's not dead, but it's not long before his next heroin rehab. Maybe just a back-up guy. Posted by: ace on October 20, 2005 05:45 PM
What about" Rock Star: The Germs"? Huh? Posted by: Darby Crash's ghost on October 20, 2005 07:07 PM
The guy from Extreme was a good singer before VH, but for some reason they seemingly had him sing as much like Sammy Hagar as he could on the album he did. It was bizarre and very disappointing. Posted by: Craiggers on October 20, 2005 07:26 PM
What about Sublime? Their lead singer is dead - I think they've been preforming and recording as the Long Beach Dub All Stars since. Of course, I doubt they have a song suitable for network television. Posted by: Tim Higgins on October 20, 2005 08:57 PM
What about Rock Star:Sex Pistols Posted by: Dean on October 21, 2005 10:44 PM
people outisde of mississippi have heard of blind melon...and like them? Brave new world, this is... Posted by: hightechredneck on October 25, 2005 12:03 AM
Is there any truth to the rumor that ex-Journey lead singer is gay? Posted by: dvan on December 2, 2005 10:22 PM

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
![]() That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
