Let's spread some musical misinformation
- Thread starter pklima
- Start date
He was a famous alien bassplayer/singer, who got stuck on planet Earth for 70 years and 5 days.
However, AC/DC can't use them.
When he was told he was being posted to the third rock from the sun he thought 'rock - superb' but arrived when it was still all swing and big band....
He was the chosen one who changed that forever.
He was the man who fell from earth, but they had to get David Bowie to play him in the movie.
He was supposed to be the Fifth Element, but got confused with the Fifth Beatle, but was actually the Fifty-fifth Beatle.
Little known fact...
Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber realized years ago that his slice of the musical market was very limited to mostly 12 to 17 year old girls. Being the marketing genus that he is, he set out to capture the 14 and up male category as well. But the real challenge was how to do this without losing his teen female following, after all, he didn't just want a bigger slice of the pie, he wanted the whole dang thing.
Then it hit him, he hatched a plan that would allow him to capture both markets simultaneously. He would become a different performer 50% of the time, using a new name and with a drastically different sexed up look. To his teen girls he'd still perform and be known as Justin Bieber, but to his newly added audience he'd perform and be known as Miley Cyrus...
.....And now you know why you've never seen these two performers on stage at the same time!

Miley opened for Justin once. Their onstage appearances were separated by only a few minutes. In order to pull that off Justin had to become Justin Time.
Justin Beiber once auditioned for Mötorhead. He knew they would never have given him a chance if they knew who he was, so he got in by masquerading as a Miley Cyrus look-alike groupie.
Unfortunately for poor young master Beiber, he never got past the masquerade stage of his audition. You see, Lemmy and the boys had been partying, and several auditions had been held that evening already. Now, anyone in-the-know about that venerable band knows that part of the auditions for new personnel was always party-involved. So... well, I'll just say that, in the end, he didn't get what he was after, exactly...
Poor little guy.

Bieber was found dead Thursday morning. However, Friday, it was reported that he is alive. This is expected to usher in a new wave of zombie pop with many dead celebrities releasing new material as well as current pop stars dying to join the latest musical craze.
BREAKING NEWS...
On his death bed Justin created the #deadstar movement just before passing on. Overnight he gained 200,000 followers who eagerly await his next tweet.
