Would be hilarious to name a band Radiohead 2 and outsell actual Radiohead. I think I'll do that.

His brother, the famous one, Leo Gallagher died in 2022. Piecing together the story from various interviews, it seems like Ron initially had Leo's blessing to do some of the act, and had even had Ron replace him on occasion to see the act from the audience, but Ron took it too far from tribute towards deception. There was nothing in his act that indicated he wasn't the Gallagher, and it wasn't until after the show that I was able to convince my mom that we were duped.
This was the late 90s, early internet days, and in 2002 Leo won the lawsuit that prohibited Ron from doing the sledge-o-matic routine or using deceptive advertising that might fool people into thinking Ron was Leo. Ron retired from entertainment after that.
It's a shame, because Ron did the act really well, and had a bit more edge to his routine. It had a chaotic energy that worked really well in a small club, and I can't imagine seeing the famous Gallagher in a giant stadium would be as much fun. But I completely understand Leo not wanting his brother to tarnish the brand, or engage in deception. After the show, I found a few boards where people had posted about Ron's act, saying that they felt cheated and warning others not to buy tickets to his shows.
Yeah totally understand. My comment was tongue in cheek.

Oh, double post but I also remembered there was a band in the mid 2010s called Jawbreaker Reunion. I imagine a lot of fans of Jawbreaker did a double take when they saw signs for like "Jawbreaker Reunion tonight!"

they already did it.
it's called The Smile.
I hear the leftovers from Radiohead started their own group, called "The Deadweight."
(Kidding! Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway are amazing.)

wrote last edited by [email protected]Well, we couldn't vote for Leo (even if alive) as he was a right-wing nutjob.
I saw him (at least I remember it being him) way back in the 90's. It was a fun show and half of it was watching the front rows getting spattered with melon.

Probably not killed, but you might be sued by XL Recordings and Radiohead.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I remember a few bands that were "killed" by their "ugliness on video" (such as with Fastball). Yet Thom York got that messed up eye and is perfectly fine in videos.

Radiohead likely has a trademark on Radiohead. This means you can't have a name that would likely confuse consumers looking for music by Radiohead. You could start a bathroom installation company named Radiohead because people wouldn't confuse bathroom installation and music (as an example). I personally think Radiohead and Radiohead 2 would be confusing, but we'd have to see what the courts would say. Most likely is, unless you have a ton of money for lawyers to pursue it the legal fees would do you in or you'd lose defending yourself. Even then, would you be willing to spend that much to be able to use Radiohead 2?
