Expect Some Queen-size Surprises!
A funny thing happened this week while we were taping the show. It was John [Rzeznik]'s birthday and everybody really made an effort to bring him presents. Everywhere he turned, it was cake and choruses of "Happy Birthday." Little did we know, he absolutely hates his birthday! He was trying to be as polite as he could be but he just wasn't handling it well.
Fortunately, the bands had better luck than he did. This week, they're doing songs from Queen, a heavy rock act that morphed into this huge global pop act. I don't want to ruin anything but there are a couple of whopping surprises. One of the bands has a change in their line-up, and another one really embraces theatrics in their performance.
We have a small but loyal audience so, regardless of the size, we're dedicated to making this show as good as it can be. I've done some TV shows where I feel a bit embarrassed afterwards but I'm actually proud of this show.
If it had been a lot of the same bands, it would have been a bit tedious. But there are big bands and teeny bands and punk and country. I'm really proud of the variety of artists because there's something for everyone!
Fox's The Next Great American Band airs Fridays at 8 pm/ET.

I'm assuming it's the Clark Brothers that added a band member. If so, I hope it turns out to be a positive thing because they're my favorite band.
