Put your hands together for.........Superhova!

MSNBC reports: "Forced by court order to change its name, a made-for-TV rock band featuring Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee made its commercial music debut on Thursday as Rock Star: Supernova — the title of the CBS show that spawned it.

The new group, which also includes former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and onetime Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, originally had planned to call itself simply Supernova.

But a lesser-known band that has claimed that name for 17 years filed a trademark infringement suit last month, and a federal judge in San Diego this week ordered Lee’s band to find another name pending the outcome of the case."

Are you kidding me? They're going to call themselved "Rockstar: Supernova?" That's lame. That's a lame, lame name. Supernova was cool. But not this other balony. Shouldn't they be trying to show that they are a real band, not just one from a TV show? Keeping the same name as the TV show doesn't help with that. Just come up with another name. Anything else would be better. How about Superhova? Pupernova? Lucas and the oldies? Super Tommy-is-still-hot-even-if-he's-a-bit-off-his-rocker and the Nova's?

What, you think you can do better?
