But is terms of bands who are missing key members, I'd much rather see replacements consisting of musicians I admire who were influenced by that band.  
First I though you were talking about the band the replacements, but then realized you had a more salient point and I totally agree.  I kinda like the idea of this and hope it catches on
Honestly I think Mick/Paul/Topper should do something like this
the guest stars on that LA show are insane, 
dc nabed a few choice ones, but doesn't even hold a candle to that firepower
so hutch, 
are you going to go?
I still remember you had that paper ticket to go see big star in nashville in like 96
do you still have that?
