1[[WMG:VideoGame/RockBand takes place in a universe where none of the musicians that we know and love exist.]] Our band doesn't just play covers, they actually wrote all of these songs in this alternate universe. So it's not that we're getting super famous just by covering songs (because that would be lame), we actually play the greatest song writers to exist, ever.
2* That counts as a WMG? Isn't that the premise?
3* What about songs where the artist addresses themselves or their band mates by name? ("[[Music/TheDoors Do it, Robby, do it!]]", or more noticeably, "[[Music/{{Sweet}} Are you ready, Steve? Andy? Mick]]"). Or songs about the singer's personal experiences ([[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Under the Bridge]]) and with references to where they came from ([[Music/TheWho Who Are You]]). What about songs that only make sense within the scope of the time period or context of world events at the time ("[[Music/TheRollingStonesBand Gimme Shelter]]")?

6* Ultimately, it was never shown that the band had any plans of returning to active-touring. Maybe they decided to vanish completely (presumably after they get bored of the tropics) in order to ensure they become legends while they're ahead. Since most bands never do this, this could be seen as the best possible ending.
