I will definitely watch this. VH is entertaining in many ways, some of them even good. Their catalog is great, and as has been mentioned the show is like American Idol except with good music. I don't see a downside to this, because essentially VH was done anyway.

"Gary Cherone, you're just not right for our band, Van Halen."

I think we need Rockstars: The search for band and an album.

Axl Rose would star in the first season.

The band is now vehemently denying the internet story (which to me, means it's a done deal).

Bump of a 2-year old thread for this:

INXS had dumped JD because of his rampant drug use.

I miss this show.

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty,
when the pretty leaves you
with no place to go.

INXS is my favorite group growing up. I saw them with JD in their second show in seattle at the Paramount and it was just pure awesomeness (better when I saw them with Hutchence in '94 - I know, it sounds like blasphemy). I then saw them with JD again 6 months later and it wasn't anywhere near as good (and this time I paid more to get in the 2nd row).

On a potential positive note, every time I listen to INXS thru my zune software, it shows pictures of the group with JD even when it's their older Hutchence material and that sickens me to the point that I want to do cocaine.

I really do miss this show. I wish another bad stepped up.
