When an edgy band becomes a pop band, you have your classic example of fish-boning. But the last couple of years before Airplane became Starship saw a band in serious trouble. (The old "creative differences" story, plus too many chemicals....) The boning process was well underway by the time of the name/format change. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on May 12, 2011, 1:45 am - (1 votes)

I don't wanna lose your love, toniiight...
That's the only Outfield song I even remember, and it was STILL better than anything Jefferson "Starship" put out in the 80s. Or since then for that matter. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on November 30, 2010, 4:27 pm - (-1 votes)

I actually saw Starship live once back in the 80's. We only stayed long enough to do the songs 'Miracles' and we left right after 'Somebody to Love'. The ONLY reason we even bought tickets to see them in the first place was that The Outfield was opening for them (remember those guys?). -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on November 30, 2010, 12:52 pm - (0 votes)

Come on guys, what's wrong with building a city on rock n' roll? :-)
Oh who am I kidding, that song was horrible. LOL I just couldn't believe THIS was the same band (albeit very loosely) that did all those cool songs ion the 60s my dad always played on his reel to reel tapes.

It boned even before 'We Built This City'. Anyone else remember their Slick-free appearance as holograms in the "Star Wars Holiday Special"? UGH! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on June 27, 2010, 2:28 pm - (1 votes)

Correction, sorry. Slick resigned from JS in 1978, not 1976. -- Submitted By: (joeygatorman) on February 5, 2010, 3:46 pm - (0 votes)

For me personally, Jefferson Starship BTF when they simplified their band name to Starship and recorded that wretched song "We Built This City- on Rooooooock and Roooooooooll....". Sorry, but I feel that when a rock band starts writing songs that are self-referential to the genre of music they are in, that's when it's time to hang up the microphone and run to the store for some malt vinegar and some coleslaw. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on January 28, 2010, 9:36 am - (0 votes)

JS was boned the moment Mickey Thomas was hired to replace Marty Balin on vocals.
Now, I could have said Grace Slick boned this fish with those two infamous concerts in Germany in June 1976 (she didn't show up in the first, and compared the audience to Nazis in the second), setting off a chain-reaction of events: Balin left shortly after JS recorded "Light the Sky on Fire" without Grace, and drummer John Barbata was injured in a car accident.
Mickey Thomas seemed to be a good fit to replace Balin, as his vocals sparkled on songs such as "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" for the Elvin Bishop Group. I had originally thought "Jane" was a Foreigner song whenever I listened to it on classic rock radio. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was JS. Despite Kantner's and Slick's valiant attempts to return to the classic JS message and sound, it was too late. -- Submitted By: (joeygatorman) on January 27, 2010, 11:52 am - (0 votes)
