Supernova Has a Problem with CBS' "Rockstar Supernova" TV Show By Newsferatu, Writer Thursday, June 29, 2006 @ 5:42 PM
Next month, Rockstar: Supernova will debut with Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee, ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke banding together to find a lead singer for their new supergroup. But the show's producers have run into a little snag: a band named Supernova already exists.
The Orange County, California punk trio, best known for their song "Chewbacca," are considering taking legal action against the show for pilfering the band's name.
"You can't just waltz up and use our name," drummer Dave Collins, who moonlights as a lawyer, told MTV.com. "We're willing to fight for our name, our band. We have trademark rights to the name and we can prove those rights."
The members of Supernova met with Rock Star producers two weeks ago and hope to schedule another meeting this week in hopes of finding a resolution.
