- CaptainNoPants, on 10/10/2007, -1/+45Alvin and the Chipmunks and School of Rock, but no Wyld Stallyns? Garbage.
- nihility, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37A top ten list that was all on one page? Incredible.
- sbader, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32Lame.. no Deathklok
- qwerty1024, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28I kinda liked the B-Sharps
- themurph2099, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Spinal Tap does exist. They have played concerts in real life. They played at LiveEarth just recently. They also wrote their own music, sang their own vocals, and played their own instruments. Hell, they exist MORE than most of the bands on the radio.
- 0perator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22What about The Beets!?
- MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25No Nickelback?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Honorable Mention to The Lone Rangers of "Airheads" fame? Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscemi were the band members...
- ostracize, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Bang on for Electric Mayhem. They defined every 70s acid-trip band around:
Floyd: We am, is, are and be they whom as are known as the Electric Mayhem!
(The Electric Mayhem laughs their agreement)
Janice: For shurely!
Floyd: He's Dr. Teeth!
Dr. Teeth: Golden teeth and golden tones. Welcome to my presence! (laughs)
Fozzie: Thank you.
Kermit: Fozzie...
Floyd: I'm Floyd, I blow bass.
Zoot: And I'm... uh... um...
Floyd: Zoot. Sax is your axe. Uh-oh, Zoot skipped a groove again!
Janice: Oh, wow, like I'm Janice on lead guitar, for shurely.
Animal: RARRRGHHHH!
Floyd: Oh yeah, that's Animal! Show them what you do, Animal!
Animal: I want to--eat drums! Rarrgh! Rarrgh! (does so)
Dr.Teeth: No! Beat drums, beat drums!
(Animal stops attempting to eat his cymbal)
Animal: Beat drums! Beat drums! (does so)
Floyd: Down Animal!
Animal: Down!
Floyd: Back!
Animal: Back!
Floyd: Sit!
Animal: Sit!
Unfortunate how it all ended:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t74nvQrHEYQ - wolvyne, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I gotta say the lack of Dethklok is very disappointing...
- TheDragon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well, Hedwig and the Angry Inch started as a stage show... That's live performance. The Blues Brothers have played plenty of live shows and as recently as five years ago had played shows at the house of blues (With just Dan Aykroyd.)
And no one can convince me Dr. Teeth isn't real. >_< - FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Garbage was a real band...
:-P - jun2san, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10***** this list for not having Stillwater.
- tical2756, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Where's the Soggy Bottom Boys
- lukeamotion, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7No Zack Attack? With hits like "Friends Forever," how could the gang not be on here? Buried for inaccuracy. Luke
- drakenlot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8What about Gorillaz? They released albums yes, but they don't actually exist. There are no real band members, just the comic/animated version. Would've been buried, but saved for mentioning Blues Brothers and Electric Mayhem.
Though BB did exist, I was at a concert they did. - kingyubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6what about Sexual Chocolate?
- the6thReplicant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Buckaroo Banzai ??
- Abyss_908, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Spinal Tap actually has played a few concerts in real life, so I would say that they do exist.
- petoria, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6no Love Burger?
- Chewie67, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Steel Dragon?
Stillwater? - Coffeedemon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4***** Your Yankee Blue Jeans
...Olaf, show em your metal face. - weekapaug81, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Stilwater is pimp
- errornix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No Jesse and the Rippers?
- bightchee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Dugg for Billy & The Boingers.
- commiecat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4N.W.H. -- ***** With Hats.
- cuoops, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Mrs. Tarantino: Are you the police?
Elwood: No, ma'am. We're musicians.
It's sad the John died, but they played many gigs. The live album, from when they opened up for Steve Martin, is one of the best selling blues albums of all time. - mrswirl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4However, as pointed out above, Jake and Elwood are the alter egos of Belushi and Akroyd. Same concept as Spinal Tap. They should be #1 though.
- fuzzynyanko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Dr. Teeth was awesome. Too bad they got rid of him
- tidu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Bangin' on a Trashcan!
- themarq, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4True, but Derek Smalls, Nigel Tuffnel, and David St Hubbins are not real people, the are alter egos of Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean.
- vladthedecker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4What no Eddie and the Cruisers?
- Balanced, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4They played several 'real'' concerts. While Belushi was alive, of course.
- fnaqzna, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3One-ders?
- elsux0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dugg for Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4That would be one of the couple that "served as alter egos" in the description.
- SergeiGolos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3B-sharps rock
- spootmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The Monkees were a real band...so they don't belong on this list at all.
- ZebZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No Stillwater from Almost Famous?
No Wyld Stallyns from Bill & Ted?
No Mystik Spiral from Daria?
No Zach Attack from Saved By The Bell?
This list sucks. - HunterKiller, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you guys are super bored... you can also go here.
http://www.fakebands.com/ - gtluke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3lone rangers?
- fnaqzna, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You mean "John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band"?
- Mykal73, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Animal from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem would take out all of Dethklok. Animal FTW
- bcardarella, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No Wyld Stayllans?
- BevansDesign, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I was going to digg this down when I saw Spinal Tap at #2. I thought "who could possibly be a better fake band than Spinal Tap? The Blues Brothers are already on there."
But then I scrolled down and saw #1, and I approve. - fredhag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What about the...
Soggy Bottom Boys (from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou),
The Five Heartbeats (from the movie of the same name),
the Atlanta A&T Marching Band (from the movie Drumline),
The Senate (the Atlanta A&T drumline from the movie Drumline),
Otis Day and the Nights (actually they're a real group but I wish they were fake because I loved their bit in Animal House), and
The Wonders (I wouldn't put this one on the top ten list but it was a cool movie, i.e., like a white man's version of the Five Heartbeats or any of the movies about the Temptations, etc.) ? - flatpick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Spinal Tap and the Blues Brothers are real bands, dilllhole.
Buried as inaccurate and for omitting The Cantina Band from Star Wars. - VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why would anyone digg this down?
And, I think you could actually listen to The Monkees music (not the Partidge -- blech!) The Monkees had some of the best musicians of their day writing their songs. They actually got a following and started touring a bit to packed crowds -- totally proving the point that you could create sensations like the Spice Girls.
Was this a nonsense list -- they mentioned fake bands that Rocked.
The Monkees would obviously beat Alvin and the Chipmonks, which was played to annoy people. - Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yes, but considering how many different names KLF went through, it's hard to keep track at times ;)
- Jumboto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That's right, Wyld Stallyns will save the world or bring at least being about world peace. How could they not be in the top 10? Good point.
