Make up video games for bands. [More:]Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die.

As the lesser known, more functional members of the band, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, your challenge is to keep Kurt from killing himself so you can get through the tour and make money. When the suicide meter gets low, you'd better have some heroin, ginger tea (good for the tummy), or a good riff around to keep him occupied!
Don't forget to keep those corporate fat cats away from Kurt, otherwise he'll break down in shivers and you won't be able to play the show. At the same time, he'll need just enough Courtney time, but not crazy Courtney time - that breaks him down too and results in cancelled shows, which can cause riots (where fans misinterpret lyrics outloud as they break things)! So you'll have to keep Courtney away and sane (heroin and slutty guys usually does it).

If you make it to the "MTV Unplugged in New York" album, you're an expert! Good luck and make sure you avoid the gun stores as you go through the Bible Belt!
In Super Stones Land the object is to drown King Koopa-Jones in a swimming pool full of lava in order to save Princess Pallenberg. Play as Mickio or Keefi!

Sorry. Low blood sugar. Oh look! Journey already has a game (two really).

I probably should have mentioned that Journey was the inspiration here.

The Pixies present Feducational, a whirlwind trip through Frank Black's gastrointestinal system. Unique First-Person Feeder Action!

Also, Journey isn't the only precedent by far.

Led Zeppelin: Shark Incident!

Help Bonzo and Richard Cole catch the sharks- then rack up points for each groupie you violate with them- redheads are worth double!

Or, play as John Paul Jones, and sit quietly in your room, reading a magazine.

Nick Cave's Wayward Train: make your way through a derailed wreck in search of spare change, lost love, and a cigarette lighter that actually works.

Journey to the center of Lydia Lunch

I haven't really come up with a description yet, but I had to get that out of my brain.

I can't come up with any band video games, so I'll just give you my movie video game:

M - the game
You can play as the murderer (kill children while avoiding whistling around blind people), as the mob (register as many hobos from the beggar's union as possible in under 10 minutes), or as the police (talk on the phone -- features conference table boss battles).

I would play that game hellbient, though I would prefer the Choose Your Own Adventure version.
