WFMU points us to Legion Of Rock Stars, for which the rules are simple:
- A bunch of people put on noise-canceling headphones
- They all listen to the same song and play along
- The results are recorded and set to the original music video
- Hilarity ensues
Take, for example, the Stones’ “Hang Fire”…
More good times with Danzig, Billy Idol, and an “Even Flow” that would make Opera Man blush after the jump.
“Mother”
“Dancing With Myself”
“Even Flow”
Lots more vids here, and if you want Legion Of Rock Stars MP3, head here and may god have mercy on your soul.

Best thing posted here since the letter from Saul Williams.
if us maple was a shitty cover band
that’s the most ian curtis sounding billy idol i think i’ve ever heard.
the guitar on even flow kinda sounds like it could be on trout mask replica.
the video of all the people with their noise canceling headphones should be shown too.
for some reason i got the impression that a bunch of people would listen to the song, play air guitar/drums, and then be filmed doing this in a public place. that doesnt really make a lot of sense, and i dont know why i would think that made sense, but it did at the time, and i was disappointed with the videos i found here.
if there is any way to be disappointed with these, you found it. i guess.
Oh God.
Couldn’t stop laughing. Don’t really know what to say…
pure gold, i say!
Billy Idol by way of Joy Division?
Ian Curtis, guys? More like Fred Schneider.
Ok… is the guy that sang “Mother” actually retarded? Because I’d feel bad for laughing if he was.
Otherwise, HA-HA!
YouTube pulled removed all L.R.S. videos for a sharing violation, but we are in the process of reposting them at: http://www.youtube.com/user/fibbochs
I’m in the process of saving them to my hard drive for when they get pulled removed again. Hey, could you prioritize 2 Legit 2 Quit?
Damn, suspended again and I hadn’t grabbed them all yet. At least I got 2 Legit 2 Quit in time.
