Holograms. They make trading cards look neat, are great tools to convey messages from space princesses and now can bring departed artists back from the dead. This year’s Coachella was the opening shot in the race to get hologram tours out there to slake the thirst of nostalgic concert goers everywhere. Surely Nirvana, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, NWA, TLC, YMCA (and other dearly departed acronyms) can now tour again just filling the human gaps with technology. Here are some we at Smosh have heard about:
Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper
There is a long list of, “gone before their time artists”. High atop that list are those unfortunate three who died in that fateful plane crash in 1959: Richie Valens, The Big Bopper and Rivers Cuomo. If only they had survived we could at least have another Pinkerton. Now, through the science of hologram, that day has come.
Historical Figures
If I learned one thing from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure it’s that historical figures know how to wail. It’s time to rewrite history with the power, of song. Hit it So-crates!
The Band From The Titanic
They went down with the ship, now get down to their funky beats.
The Rolling Stones
While you could argue that most of the band is still “alive” and technically “touring”. But they could be touring while they were still hot and vibrant and without the dangling threat of a broken hip. Plus groupies can’t get pregnant if they’re banging HoloMick…or can they?
Jem And The Holograms
Truly, truly, truly an overdone joke. But if the Gorillaz worked, so could The Holograms.
Band of Brothers
NO YOU’RE MISUNDERSTANDING THE TERM, “BAND”!
Justin Bieber
Beliebers, it’s time you knew. There is no Justin Bieber, just a charming sequence of ones and zeros and a lot of pixilated dreams. And frankly you all knew deep down that hair wasn’t real. Pity poor Selena Gomez who has to go out in public with slender butch and circus performer Nadya Tronska who wears a head to toe green man suit to overlay in post later. Or don’t pity, it’s a killer look and that means “Justin” was in our hearts the whole time!
