Too similar to Universal's coaster

Please no.

That's not what I said.
What I said was that I don't think it matters to most fans of the ride whether Aerosmith is still touring, or has claimed to have done their last tour to enjoy the ride.

Yeah, and I hate the "you are the star idea."

Are we really gonna turn this into fatphobic commentary against Lizzo?

Seems like an appropriate question to me.
She's praised endlessly for her size, and her desire to show it off.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Unless you can convince Yoko Paul and Ringo of something they’ll never ever do, the only reasonable possibility is the Foo Fighters. What other legendary rock bands are under 70 and also even remotely relevant?
I think DHS shoulda have used the NW quadrant for a massive new ToonTown expansion, complete with a MMRR a smaller C-ticket comparable to Roger Rabbit, and rethemed RNRC with a PowerLine in a TownTown concert Venue all connected for a massive place for the cartoon characters to live. Bigger than DL.

I’m pretty sure the idea behind RRR is that you’re filming a music video and the coaster is a just a backdrop for that in a sense. My idea would be slightly different in that you’re a rockstar who’s about to be late for a gig and you’re being driven across town for it. They’d be similar in that the guests are the ‘rockstars’ in both but that’s where the similarities end
The *Haunted* Rock 'n Roller Coaster!!

If (when) it gets a retheme I'm not so sure it would be beneficial to tie themselves to a person/band again. They've got fairly lucky that no major controversy with Aerosmith has had people calling on them to ditch the ride. These days all it'll take is an ill thought out comment from someone Disney is repping for there to be people with pitchforks lined up outside the park.
They'd be far better off dropping the rock vibe entirely and turning it into a totally different theme.

The vast majority of WDW attractions hearken to a different time period, or an earlier part of a character's story. RnR is, for all intents and purposes, already a period piece.

Agree. If they are going to just redo the band portion of this, it makes no sense to have a band that there could eventually be controversy for/could do something awful. Make it a Muppet style, maybe license out some songs and have them do the covers or something. That would keep you from being stuck with a single band while also making it easy to switch songs out if something comes up with one. That said, I could see the entire music portion dropped. If they went with Swift or Lizzo (no idea who this is), I'd be mad, but they could easily just say they let the music academy people who vote on the rock and roll hall of fame pick the musician for rock (yes I have a deep hatred of who is in the Rock hall).
Or… just keep it like it is and add a time travel twist as you’re entering the area.
