I remember reading that they had been asked several years ago, but declined. Can anyone confirm?
You forgot Lenny Kravitz
Well, actually last season was fantastic. Celebrities are eager to appear on it because it is actually prestigious and quite an honor to be asked. Regardless of how you feel about it, in the last 20 Years the Simpsons has led the way in shaping pop culture as we know it today.

this is true. Ed actually mentioned during a subsequent interview that the producers mailed the band a copy of the script they were pitching, which featured an exchange between Homer and Ed where Homer offered Ed advice along the lines of "be true to yourself" or words to the effect.
one of the 2 pieces of Simpsons' production cels i own is from the "Homerpalooza" episode. due to copyright issues, Fox doesn't sell production cels which include a celebrity's likeness so any hand-drawn cels of the band would, sadly, never have been made available for sale. i'm actually still working my connection for the "Alien dude: Need two tickets to Pearl Jam" production cel but cels from that episode haven't been made available yet (if cels are in rough shape and/or damaged, Fox usually doesn't bother releasing them from the vaults),...
"Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

Yeah last season had some misses but for the most part was more hits then misses, which is the first time in 6 seasons you can say that. There were a half dozen truly, excellent, funny episodes.

I wholeheartedly agree - I wouldn't want to see PJ on there now. There was a time when the Simpsons produced some of the best satire ever on television; now they're a damn joke. I believe the first 8 seasons were their golden years...been down hill ever since. Family Guy on the other hand, hilarious!
I think it USED to be a boon to be asked to be on the Simpsons, but not so much anymore. That show isn't anywhere near the pop culture icon it once was.
Put em on an episode of the Office, where Michael hires them for a staff party or something. All the while the band thinking it's a real gig.

"A guitar has many names. An axe, a gitbox. Thats about it. Now lets go through the basics. Playing a burning guitar with your teeth!"
Still love the Simpsons. This lastest series hasn't been the best but I'm still liking it. They could have an episode of homer teaching PJ how to play grunge. Seeing as he invented it!
What? Family Guy cant and will never hold a candle to the simpsons, its all interchangeable burp and fart jokes.

Oh hell yea I agree with you man. The Simpsons in their prime (first 8 seasons or so) is leaps and bounds beyond Family Guy - no argument there. I was mainly just implying that Family Guy is good for cheap laughs and great one-liners these days; nothing very original or intelligent though. I just can't get into the Simpsons these days, the past 10 years have been pretty shitty IMO with a few exceptions here and there.
Ahh, ok gotcha.... I really liked Family Guy before the cancellation, after they came back I just wasn't so big on it, I still watched it until the Micheal J Fox/Zorro joke, that was just beyond tasteless to me.
Futurama and South Park are also good, South Park has actually gotten better over the last 5 years, Futurama i am pretty stoked is returning but if these rumors of new voice actors are true I smell flop.
Also, I encourage everyone to give S20 of the Simpsons a chance, its not a return to glory but there is a lot of great episodes. Including, Ned and Homer becoming Bounty Hunters, Lisa gets an ipod and racks up a huge bill downloading songs, Maggie getting kidnapped by a group of nuns, a St Patricks Day episode where they actually go to Ireland, and also one where Norwegians take over Springfield. That is just a few of the beauts in S20.
