Just because it's session musicians or a supergroup doesn't mean it's not a real band. I mean, would you say NIN isn't "real" because it's Reznor and whoever he hires that week?

Garbage is fake? What about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes?

Even completely fictional bands exist, in that you can't have music without somebody vibrating something:

This isnt a case of a musician hiring backing musicians, or a group forming of session musicians. This kind of case is where a producer writes or buys a song, has studio musicians record it and invent a band when its released. The people recording the song, on the cover and on the tour group may be totally different based on who is availible or works best. The musicians would have no say on the name, song or anything else related to the band.

Tony Burrows is a famous session musicians singing on four number one hits for four seperate bands made this three of which where on 1970
