While on the topic of bands by famous people who didn’t start out as musicians - didn’t Juliette Lewis have a hip / “with it” band a little while ago?
Can’t say I ever heard any of it - I’m more wary of bands that might be a “just ok” listening experience than I am of bands that are fascinating disasters. Fabio’s foray into recorded music, for example, is entrancing in its cheesiness.
Yes, Julliette Lewis and the Licks. I never bothered looking them up. I’d heard they were kind of okay. But I don’t remember who said that, haha.
Let’s not forget Shaqs music career of where he became a rapper. I won’t even post a video, but let you glimpse at his horrible lyrics.

Only thing it would be good for is it would be the most affordable autograph memorabilia.
How about Bruce Willis’ horribly hokey bands…
Yeah, I was trying to remember what was up with that one. Did Willis have his own band or was he just jamming with Seagal at a few self-indulgent Planet Hollywood events or something?

He definitely had/has his own band although I can’t for the life of me remember what the name was…I know it was something cheesy though…probably safe to say that the name would be exactly what you would expect it to be…
At least Eddie Murphy did it with a little bit of style. This video cracks me up though. Generic in the studio style that seemed to be popular back then. As soon as Eddie is feeling comfortable, Rick James just steals his thunder!
David hasselhoff has multiple albums in Germany

I love that video…the mind reels at the amount of cocaine that must have been on that set…
No, the irony of this song being called “Respect Yourself” did not elude me.
Looks like Bruce Willis’ offering to the pool of actors’ attempts at musical seriousness was . . . . a boring 80’s adult contemporary cheeserock, a la Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Michael Bolton . . . .
How about Don Johnson’s immortal ‘Heartbeat’ single at the height of his Miami Vice popularity…
My friend has a 12" for Heartbeat. It has such a cheesy way-too-80’s cover design on it.
I liked Eddie Murphy’s stuff a lot. I got nothin’ but love for “My Girl Wants To Party All The Time” and “Boogie In The Butt”. They’re great jams and he got a proper team on the writing and production.
The Shaq stuff is pretty funny.
There’s also some really great stuff by Macho Man Randy Savage.
One of my favorite albums, though, is “Hulk Rules” by Hulk Hogan (and the Wrestling Boot Band).
I don’t know if they ever did anything else, but Martini Ranch was actually really good.
Bill Paxton, suckas!!

Ahhh,the great Macho Man…the world is a lesser place without Mr.Poffo…
I think Dennis Quaid has some shitt band too…I remember hearing some once…

Bill was also in the ‘Fish Heads’ video by Barnes and Barnes. For what it’s worth…?

REALLY??? As an actor or he was one of the musicians/singers?
I remember the song and even sort of the video, but it’s been ages.

He is in the vid and also directed it…
Joey lawrence AKA Blossom’s brother… whoa!

Wow now there’s one that didn’t deserve a second act.
Thanks to this thread, the soundtrack in my head today consists entirely of:
Bruce Willis’ lame Springsteen-lite hit “Youngblood”
the Shaquille O’neal song where he asks the listener “do ya want me to SLAM?”
“Fish Heads”
