Not a rock star, but Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips appeared in an episode of Enterprise–I think in the 3rd or 4th season.

I can’t substantiate this; his bio at Wikipedia and IMDB don’t mention any Trek. Cite?

I can’t think of any rock stars, but a few persons famous in other fields have made appearances. Basketball Hall-of-Famer James Worthy comes to mind (he played The World’s Tallest Klingon on an episode of TNG). I think astronaut Mae Jamison has been on, as well as physicist Stephen Hawking.

Start another thread if you and Shot Clock want to. My OP was clear and specific.

Wait a minute - no objection to David Soul yet James Darren is rejected? Granted James Darren was never the die-hard, rock-til-you-drop, “just turned 18 and I don’t mind dyin” type of rock star … but compared to David Soul he sure is.

It was on Trek Today or Trek nation or some such site. It may have been several members of the band as well.
Since I have never actually heard the band or been to any of their concerts, I did not know of their status beyond having heard their name here and there. No insults were intended.
Then let me educate you. From wikipedia:

During large-crowd festival performances, Wayne makes his entrance by descending from space in a bubble, and floating across the audience to the stage. Coyne has also been known to pour fake blood down his face via a hidden tube during live shows, usually during the track “The Spark that Bled” which features lyrics about cutting yourself on the head without realizing it.

That sounds like a rock star to me. I mean you don’t get much more mellodramatic.

Sure, they’re rock stars, but when did Wayne (or his cohorts) ever appear in a Trek TV show or movie? That’s what I can’t find a cite for.

:smack: sorry–memory glitch. It wasn’t Coyne. However, it was another Lip or two:

Chekov’s first hair cut ( a wig) was to make him look sort of Davy Jones/Beatles-ish to appeal to the teeny-boppers.
