cool?

Why them?

That's pretty awesome.
Just glad it's not any of the usual suspects, like Kanye, Metallica and Green Day

because they were on Modern Family.

I guess it was always going to be an English band with Branson involved.

I think Oasis with both Gallaghers would have been the most entertaining.

This is pretty cool shit.
I mean, it's a total waste of money, and now they'll find ways to put shittier bands in space, but still.

And I want to reask Reliquished's question, why the fuck are they choosing Spandau Ballet as the first band to play IN SPACE ever?

Their quarrel is definitely too big to be contained on Earth Davey

because they were on Modern Family.

Erm...what?

If any band should have the honor to play in space, it should be Neurosis.

Wait, I thought GWAR had this title.

Aren't they FROM space, too?

...I like that Edward Norton played the bassist for Spandau Ballet on Modern Family, feckin great.

Yeah, GWAR should get the credit for being the first band to play in space, seriously...

Yeah, Muse would have been apt. Or maybe The Klaxons.

"If any band should have the honor to play in space, it should be Neurosis."

Good choice, but if you've heard of Rosetta, they're suited for space even more. Lift, Pt. 2 in space...!

Disaster Zone are better.

Dude.

Opeth.
IN MUDDAFUGGIN' SPACE

been there, done that

Nevermind I take back my comment.

BrokeNCYDE should be the first band to play in space.
So they don't mess up their awesome vocals, they shouldn't have helmets though.

who the fuck are they...?

Should've been OPETH

countorus always has the kvltest shit.

should of let deltron do it

Rosetta would have been choice.

Well it's space, it had to be an electro pop rock band. Muse would of been funny as hell.

Boney M. playing Night Flight to Venus would be so sick!

well pink floyd is still first in space in my book

THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY

this is a fucking awesome idea, shoulda picked a cooler band though

Spandau Ballet, what the fuck. Should be Flaming Lips

Midnight Oil... in space.

The only bands worthy enough to represent the Earth in space are either GWAR or Manowar.

i second gwar as our intergalactic ambassadors

or Gunther

Should've done Brokencyde instead. Then "accidentally" made them disappear forever into deep space.

Too late for this band. I already performed on Mars and Venus. Beat that!!!

I'd pay good money to see Primus in space

I second the motion for Brokencyde. Send them and fucking leave them out there.

David Bowie already did this guys.

Wicked weird, I can't wait to see it.

I'm waiting for Metallica to jump on the bandwagon.

Dragonforce/Brokencyde/Justin Bieber tour, on a spaceship rigged with explosives.
That would make earth so much better.

"The only bands worthy enough to represent the Earth in space are either GWAR or Manowar"

LOL Manowar in space.

^^^ hahahahahahaha ^^^

Should have picked Lights tbh. Anybody else is just wrong.

Even Neurosis? Wait I think I see what you mean.

Should have picked Lights tbh. Anybody else is just wrong.

Or Bjork

And here I was thinking no-one would care about this news item. Silly me.

dwah? ...strange choice for that title, see how it goes i guess

Should be David Bowie...singing Ziggy Stardust...that would be hysterical...

"what will kanye west think of this..."

Oh no...

Well, here's what would happen. Lights would be nominated to play in space, she gets up to the podoium and then BOOM!!!!!!!!!! out of nowhere Kanye West pulls a Taylor Swift and proclaims Beyonce to be a better option as Lights is suddenly swept into saddness.

What about they just leave both of them to freeze?

Should have been a reunion of Naked City if you ask me. Spandau isn't cool enough to go play in space. Playing their entire S/T. I would buy tivo just to watch "chinese punk doll" and "osaka bondage" eight bajillion times.

"True" in space could be kind of epic.

If they are playing while weightless, the drummer's job is going to be a bitch.

Spacemen 3 should reunite to play there.

if anyone's going into space, it should Paul Gilbert who would play Technical Difficulties

Attention all planets of the solar confederation... we have assumed control.

Uranus will be sick.

shoulda been dethklok

Uranus is sick

Pretty sure i saw Mastodon playing in space in the Oblivion video

pssh CGI

What about like Origin or some tech death band that's obsessed with space?

...soon they will build bigger boards, with bigger nails in it. Eventually they'll build a board and nail so big, it will consume them all. Muahahahahahahahahahahaha

Coheed and Cambria in space would be cool..

Shouldve been the Beastie Boys performing "Intergalactic"

and fighting a giant robot or two wouldn't hurt either.

Hum anyone??

There's no sound in space.

@Wizard-playing on mars and venus isnt technically in outer space, its on a planet lol

Oh, yes...Pelican's another good choice. Aurora Borealis or Sirius would be great.

"If they are playing while weightless, the drummer's job is going to be a bitch."

yea that's what i was thinking

why the spinda ballet

Pretty cool idea. My guess was that it was gonna be U2.

U2 are probably lobbying the United Nations to have this decision overturned as we speak.

Barenaked Ladies

no wai! all bad choices.

Sigur Ros ftw

this is awesome

valient thorr perhaps? they know the place and so it would be easier for them you know since they're like, from there

Europe with the final countdown!

Eh. They could do worse than Spandau Ballet. They at least had a couple good tunes.

Europe with the final countdown!


that's actually the best suggestion so far

also, mike tyson needs to be standing in front of the band shadow-boxing while they play

Godspeed You! Black Emperor?

intergalactic band lol

wasnt the first gwar?
