A Rock Band Game (um ... before the Xbox)




When I was younger my friends and I would often play a rock band game.  This was in the 90s and the Xbox was a few years away.  It wasn't something that required an electronic console or even a pen and paper.  Just a little imagination.  Usually we'd play over a few drinks so it was a pretty good laugh ... at least we thought so.  All of us loved music and we all had very different musical tastes.  It made for good time trying to think about what bands should tour together.

We weren’t thinking about the good shows these bands or artists would put on. We were trying to think of band’s names that had the best synergies to create an attention getting marquee.  Personally, I think this is a pretty addicting game and still find myself thinking about this when mowing my lawn.  Here are a few that we came up with back then and a few that have resulted in this game played recently:

  • Foreigner with Bad English

  • Live and The Grateful Dead

  • Kiss and Saliva

  • Styx with The Stones

  • Police and Warrant

  • Prince, Queen, and King Crimson

  • Europe and Asia

  • U2 and The B52’s

  • Def Leppard with Blind Melon

  • Chicago and Boston

  • Slaughter and The Killers

  • Train, The Cars, and Jefferson Airplane

  • Blue Man Group, Pink Floyd, Green Day, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is all I could think of in one sitting … but if YOU think of any, feel free to comment ...
